Random Acts of Comics

Tom Sniegoski and Jeanine Acheson dated in high school. Then college and life came along and they went their separate ways. Five years ago, both married with families, they reunited and shortly thereafter began writing novels and comic books together. Really. Lifetime is making a rom-com about them. Not really --  that's a lie. But they do write Vampirella together and that's bloody cool.     https://www.patreon.com/c/randomactsofcomicspodcast

The Mooks are back in a very special episode of Grown Man Watching Cartoons! Although not technically a cartoon, Doug made us sit through Roger Corman's unreleased lemon "The Fantastic Four" (1994)

Here’s us talking.   *Stay tuned for a conversation with Todd and Doug (on three hours sleep!) that begins with smack talk about a local park grounds keeper and ends with safe cracking.    Join our Patreon Community! https://www.patreon.com/c/randomactsofcomicspodcast   Follow us on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/todddezago/

Yeah, that Adam Hughes. The creator of so many of your favorite comic book covers, Adam Hughes is a talented artist, a personable fellow, and a funny, funny guy. But, life coach…? Listen to Adam lay down for us why it’s important — for both giver and getter — to learn to receive compliments. Didn’t think you’d be learning anything today, huh…?

It was the premiere for Creepshow 2. - Doug

Marc Storrs is one of the hosts of Todd’s favorite podcast, The Cryptonaut podcast, which features stories and discussions about the strange and bizarre creatures that may be lurking in the darkest woods. Todd is a huge fan and fanboys out a little and, frankly, it’s a bit embarrassing. Come join Todd and Marc in a conversation about both comics and cryptids.

Rich Case is a comic book artist best known for his work on Doctor Strange and the ultra-bizarre Grant Morrison scripted Doom Patrol. He was also the Inker on Sensational Spider-Man when I was writing it. One time, when we were in San Diego  on a shuttle bus to the convention, Rich and I came up with what we were certain would be the greatest Batman villain ever. But once we got off the bus, both of us promptly forgot it, so now we’ll never know.

Dan Brereton is, simply put, a terrific artist. Inspired by some of the early painters drawn to comic book work in the early 90s, Dan brought an entirely new look to Superman and Batman, Robin, and Batgirl, to name a few. He wrote and painted his own creator-owned team called The Nocturnals and continues to stun with his unique, inimitable style.

"Grown Men Watching Cartoons Theme" by Doug Wortel 

With most guests, when I ask them about their favorite comic or character, I have an idea as to what their answer might be. ‘Cause I know them, and probably have for some time. I’ve known Shane Simek for more than 20 years. He’s a fellow comic book fan and a long-time collector of original artwork in the form of the commissions he gets at the various conventions we go to. And he’s always happy to share with me and Craig the truly awesome pieces from some of the truly awesome artists he’s befriended. I did not anticipate his choice for favorite comic.     * This episode includes an excerpt of "You Only Live Once" by The Strokes      Join our Patreon community!  https://www.patreon.com/randomactsofcomicspodcast
