Larry Lieber, the legendary artist and writer who contributed to the early Marvel Universe alongside his brother Stan Lee, joins us to discuss his new book CHIRPS. After briefly touching on his storied career—which includes co-creating Iron Man, Thor, and Ant-Man, and his long run on The Rawhide Kid—Larry dove into this ambitious literary departure that combines elements of fantasy, family saga, and action thriller. CHIRPS follows the extraordinary journey of a genetically advanced parakeet who develops human-level intelligence and speech. Larry discusses the origin of the concept and story, how he chose the settings, and why this prose novel feels like the culmination of his decades of storytelling.
