Wits’ End host Shah Emami reunites with cartoonist Pete Doree to talk about Barry Windsor-Smith’s first comic in 16 years. MONSTERS, published by Fantagraphics, is an absolute bombshell.

It’s taken 35 years but BWS was able to tell his densest story on his own terms. For a creator who has given so much to a medium he loves, it’s vindicating to be able to read and talk about MONSTERS—it’s an absolute gift to comics.

During the conversation Shah and Pete talk about MONSTERS, supporting black & white comics, comic book movie burnout, the importance of telling authentic stories, social media pet peeves & more. Pete is the cartoonist behind comics like Stan & Jack, The Electric Gods of Infernal Disaster and the upcoming Kids From Rec Road. Always an engaging guest.
