  • Episode 123 with guest, Eddie deAngelini from The Collectors

    I'm joined by artist and business owner, Eddie deAngelini is a long time comic book fan and collector. His love of comics began at a young age and continues to this day and his webcomic Collectors is loosely based on his own life, marriage and comic collecting obsession. Collectors is a love letter to the pop culture phenomenon of comic books and to all the wives who trip over longboxes all over the house! The comic can be found at CollectorsComic.com as well as in six collected print volumes. 

    Along with being a comic book fan and creator, he is also the co-owner and manager of the historic comic book shop Hi De Ho Comics in Santa Monica, California. He currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife Kristen, where they plan together for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.

I review my favorite chapters and how this book can really aid you in the new school year.
