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!
