January 27, 2025 Issue 44 | Fred Chamberlain
Fred Chamberlain and Todd have been friends since waaay back, meeting on the Marvel message boards ( look it up ) and connecting over comics, comedy, and cartography. ( maybe not so much with the cartography ) Here they talk about all those things and more and you are cordially invited to listen in, which you'll do, because we're all just amateur spies eager to eavesdrop on people, aren't we...?

January 20, 2025 Issue 43 | Roy Richardson
Roy Richardson is his own worst enemy. He KNOWS he shouldn't go on the Jack Kirby Discussion Boards and talk about the King. He KNOWS the internet was created just to give people a place to stir each other up. He KNOWS he'll come back frustrated and pissed at how ignorant some people can be. But he does it anyway. Oh, well -- I guess we all have our vices. For me, it's the ponies.

January 13, 2025 Issue 42 | Megan Huang
Megan Huang is new to the comics world. Fairly new. She is a funny, wonderfully charming person, an artist with a bright style and a bright future, and my new pal.
Today we're talking about what it takes to get in -- and stay in -- the comics business. Next time we're gonna talk about bears.

January 06, 2025 Issue 41 | Katie Cook
At the Baltimore Comic Con each year, Katie Cook's table is always right across from mine. We always say hello, exchange pleasantries, and smile and wave over at each other throughout the course of the show. But we never seem to get a chance to settle in for a real conversation. Why, you ask? Because Katie's table is ALWAYS surrounded by throngs of her adoring fans, all eager to chat and catch up with their favorite creator/cartoonist!! She is fun and positive and enchanting and here I finally get a chance to have that conversation.

Tom Raney is an excellent comic book artist. He is also an excellent person. No, really! He even won an award for it! At the 2024 Ringo Awards, Tom was given the Brogan Fidelity Award for his continuous dedication to the Hero Initiative, providing care and support to financially impacted comic book professionals in need of health and care services. Just...the nicest guy.

December 09, 2024 Issue 37 | Bart Sears
If you polled all of the artists working in comics today and asked them if they ever took anything away from the instructional art column, Brutes and Babes, featured in Wizard Magazine back in the day, the number would be staggering! BART SEARS has influenced THAT MANY people! Also, he drew so many awesome comics, too many to list, but here are a few of my favorites... Invasion, Justice League Europe, X-O Manowar, Captain America and the Falcon, Weapon X. So many.

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.

November 25, 2024 Issue 35 | Steve Englehart
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!
