Our X-Men season kicks off with a special interview with Eric & Julia Lewald of X-Men: The Animated Series. Eric, who developed the show, and his wife Julia, one of the show's writers, share incredible stories about the series' beginnings (he'd never read X-Men comics), assembling the team, the difficulty of casting the right voice actors (not "Scooby-Doo X-Men"), and the episode that inspired a major crossover event in the comics.
