Today, we've got accomplished Marvel artist and character creator Tom Rasch to explore his diverse career spanning film, video games, and comics. Tom shares his journey from penciling titles like Punisher 2099 to becoming a sought-after concept artist for video games and film projects, including his redesign of the Hardy Boys for Nancy Drew Games and his work on Sony PlayStation Network titles. Tom discusses his transition into creating original intellectual properties, particularly his breakout character Black Alpha, which gained mainstream recognition through USA Today and merchandise appearances on CBS's "The Big Bang Theory" before being optioned for film and TV development, along with updates about his other original characters The Bondsman and Salem Tusk.
