Dollar Bin Comics

It’s that waaaay past time again to work our way through the Dollar Bin Comics Elimination Challange. This week you will hear us narrow down the list to 16. Who will make the cut? How should I know. We recorded this 3 months ago. Also, special guest Sanford Greene helps us kick things off, so we can help promote his upcoming Kickstarter project.

It’s that time again for the Dollar Bin crew to put their vote where there mouth is and work together to decide the greatest comic series of our time. Or, at least what’s cool. This is Round One of comics elimination. Anything that’s gets past us here is a least worth checking out.

As usual, Adam and Shawn made their tour of a few shops in the Carolinas to celebrate Free Comic Book Day. First stop, Richard’s Comics and Collectables. Next, Borderlands Comics and Games. To close out the night, Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find. Many interesting people. Many great free comic books.

This week Adam and Shawn open the show with a discussion about Tony Harris’

cosplay rant from a few weeks back as well as looking into sexism in

geek/comics culture, but that is just the beginning because the big bang

for your buck is the amazing Nick Pitarra interview from his Richard’s

Comics and Collectables signing.

Runtime 53 minutes 55 seconds

Happy birthday Rocketeer. You may be years old, but you’re as fresh and exciting a concept as ever. Join moderator B Clay Moore as he discusses the Rocketeer Adventures anthology with contributors Laura Martin, Tommy Lee Edwards, Eric Canete, Stephanie Buscema, Tony Harris, and Jim Silke. In addition to Adventures, they will remember creator Dave Stevens and his magnificent art.

This week the Dollar Bin has a special treat for you. We would call it an interview with X-O Manowar writer Robert Venditti, however it’s so much more than just that. Yes, we bring you a great interview, but we start you off with an intense Valiant/X-O discussion with DB contributor and huge Valiant fan, Danny (Cinlach).

After way too many delays (all Adam’s fault) the Dollar Bin is proud to bring to you our interview with Ted Naifeh, creator of Courtney Crumrin, as well as other great books.

Exerpt from Ben Towle’s Blog: We showed the documentary Moebius Redux, which was really well-done, although it certainly shied away from addressing some of the more troubling aspects of the artist’s later career. The real star of the panel, though, was Geof Darrow who had a seemingly-limitless well of hilarious anecdotes about Moebius. My friend and co-conspirator Craig Fischer wrapped up the presentation with a really fascinating discussion that made me (and others I’d guess) question the conventional narrative about the division between Jean Giraud and “Moebius.”

About a decade ago (maybe it was less than that) the Dollar Bin’s Joel, Tee, and Adam spent quite a bit of time on the phone with Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson to discuss their (along with Alex Ross) masterpiece in motion, Astro City. We offer to you here the second part featuring artist Brent Anderson.
