BUY THIS COMIC!

This week we're joined by Ron Marz, writer of Almost American, a 5-issue limited series published by Aftershock Comics. It's based on the true story of Janosh “Jan” Neumann and his wife, Victorya–both Russian spies who made a deal with the U.S. government to trade their information in exchange for a life free from want. What could go wrong?

This week we're joined by Anthony Rella, writer of Seis Cuerdas, a 3-issue limited series published by Source Point Press. It's a playful, well-written adventure with art that takes you back to great, pulpy adventures of decades past. It feels a bit like Darkman mixed with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and El Mariachi. The third issue is out now.

In Pyongyang, Guy Delisle took you inside a North Korean animation studio. In the newly-released Factory Summers, Guy takes us inside the Quebec City paper mill where he worked in his youth. It's Delisle's most personal book to date, and maybe the only one that has something in common with Moby Dick!

You know what's lame? When someone tries to tell you about their dreams. Amazingly, when Jerome Gaynor does it in comic form in his new book Sogni Strani, the results are pretty fantastic. That's because he's got his dream-recording method down to a science, which is one of the things we talk to him about on this episode of BUY THIS COMIC!
