Our other guest is Tadd Galusha, a Comic book creator and artist who has worked with several publishers like Dark Horse, IDW, Dynamite, Keenspot, and of course Critical Entertainment. Titles Tadd has worked on are Bubba Ho-Tep, One Night in Prague, and The First Americans to name a few.

The First Americans is a story that takes place at the end of the Ice Age 14,000 years ago and on the verge of starvation, a Tribe of Paleo-Indians travel across from Siberia into North America to hunt an elusive pack of Mammoths; but when they fail to hunt down the beasts, the tribe members must adapt to their new surroundings before becoming extinct.
