In this special Halloween episode, we sit down with the dream team of Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones to talk about the first part of their epic vampire tale, Dracula Volume 1: The Impaler. The Kickstarter project is already raking in the support, and it's easy to see why. This is a story only Matt and Kelley could bring to (undead) life, with their signature narrative and visual flares. We get into it all, from the origins of the project to the nuts and bolts of the pals working together for the first time. There's even a Monster Squad reference!

The Kickstarter is open until Nov. 16, so go search it up or use this link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/draculatheimpaler/dracula-volume-1-the-impaler-by-matt-wagner-and-kelley-jones.

Like the phoenix rising, Bernard Chang is back on the show to talk his series with Louise Simonson about the original comic book Phoenix, Jean Grey. We get into the hows, whys, and wherefores of his collaboration with Simonson, why the X-Men hold a special place in his heart, and how he pulled off that amazing double-page spread from issue #1! Then we hit the rewind button and pick up where we left off in the last episode, delving into the second half of his career. We talk his advertising work, the kids series The Black Belt Club, getting together and collaborating with author Neil Strauss, and some of his favorite work at DC, including Wonder Woman, Demon Knights, and Batman Beyond.

As always, you can follow Bernard on X and Instagram @thebernardchang.

Writer, colorist, filmmaker... foodie?! Gregory Wright dabbles in a bit of everything, but his heart is always with comics. He got his start at Marvel, first in editorial, but then writing and/or coloring big books like Deathlok, Silver Sable and the Wild Pack, Morbius, and X-Men: The Hidden Years. Other coloring gigs included the first three issues of Savage Dragon, DC's Zero Hour crossover, and a handful of Richard Starkings' Elephantmen issues. And just wait until you hear him talk about barbecue!

NYCC 2023 is upon us! What better time to talk about the good, the bad, and the cosplay of comic book conventions? Joining Bandit Mike in a tour around the aisles is the New York Times' George Gustines. George has attended his fair share of cons and shares his thoughts on how they've evolved, what to do (and not do) in artists' alley, and the best ways to plan your time. So put on your Hulkbuster armor, grab a stack of books to be signed, and wallow in the sea of humanity that is today's show.

* This episode was recorded before the news broke of Keith Giffen's passing. Keith was a giant of the comics world, and we narrowly missed the opportunity to interview him. His creativity will be sorely missed, but his impressive and influential work remains. Our condolences to his family.

This is the true story... nope, that's a total hack intro for someone who has more than transcended his appearance on MTV's The Real World San Francisco. Yes, we're talking about Judd Winick: cartoonist, writer, and creator on some of the best comics in the last 30 years. We rewind all the way back before Real World, where he and someone named Brad Metzer were slumming it in Boston, trying to get their careers going. We talk about the development of Pedro & Me, his award winning first graphic novel about his time with AIDs activist and fellow RW cast member, Pedro Zamora. Then there's the Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Batman, Exiles, and so many more! And if that ain't enough, his third act is as the engine behind the highly successful series of kids graphic novels, Hilo. We're tired just thinking about all the work he's done!

You can follow Judd on X and Instagram @juddwinick. And look for Hilo Book 10 in 2024!
