When Todd and writer/artist/creator Carla Speed McNeil get talking it's usually about books and authors and story. Not stories, but STORY -- not just the tale, but how the tale is told. Here, Carla and Todd discuss some of the authors favorite titles and authors outside of comics and Todd explains why everyone should check out Carla's exquisite FINDER series.

So, I'll let you guess. What if I say he wrote Avengers, Defenders, Captain America and the Hulk at Marvel…? How about Justice League, Green Lantern Corps, and Detective Comics at DC…? No…? The Joker Fish…? Amazing Adventures featuring The Beast…? Oh, that did it. Yeah, it's Steve Engelhart!

And now you wanna go re-read all those comics, don't you? Yeah…me too. Join our Patreon Community! https://www.patreon.com/c/randomactsofcomicspodcast

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

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.
