To launch this, The Summer of Random Acts of Comics, we wanted to kick things off with a guest whose joyful and vibrant artwork would set the tone for another exciting season! But then we doubled-down cause she brought her husband. Ladies and Gentlemen— here are the fantastic Amanda Conner and her Secret Service escort Jimmy Palmiotti!

• The iconic movie poster for Rock 'N' Roll High School (1979) was drawn by legendary fantasy and illustration artist William Stout. He created the poster's original watercolor, pastel, and charcoal artwork featuring the Ramones and cast members.
• The iconic 1978 movie poster for National Lampoon's Animal House was drawn by the illustrator and artist Rick Meyerowitz . Meyerowitz, who was a regular contributor to National Lampoon magazine, based his chaotic illustration on the film's script and production photo

episode one drops on june eighth

Random Acts Of Comics Season 3 : The Summer Of Random Acts Of Comics officially returns starting Monday June 8th!

What you need to remember is that all this was happening in the mid-to-late nineties. This was pre-internet, pre-email. The bunch of us were communicating via faxes, Fed Ex, and phone calls, neither of which were very secure. And when editor Bob Budiansky discovered that DC had somehow intercepted a series of vital X-Men communiques down the hall, he insisted we develop a multilayered code to talk with one another. That's when Tom went off and created the unbreakable Clone Code. Some of us still speak it today.

Walter Simonson, Part 2 — The second in a series. The master storyteller is back in the studio to give us the incredible behind-the-scenes story of the creation of the original ALIEN graphic novel and how he was able to draw it without having seen the movie. Also, the Sinking of the Bismarck.

Mark Chiarello—"Mark swung his chair around to face me as I entered the room, a look of wild concern on his face. I had Johnny, the Rousseau kid with me, we were looking for lunch. 'Hey, Man!' Mark said, 'Where did my podcast go? I've listened to every episode now three times!' And that's the only reason we brought the podcast back. For Mark."

John Burgin -- I once told John that he looked a bit like Sir Alec Guinness and I think I hurt his feelings 'cause all he knew was old Obi-Wan Kenobi Alec Guinness but I was talking about young Alec Guinness from, like, the 50s when he was in all those hilarious Ealing movies that Nick Cardy made me watch. Take a look. I'm not wrong. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Pal.
