Better Than Fiction Episode #168! Simon and Kirby, Wilson and Ghost in the Shell!

Episode #168! This week we have a Super-Sized episode of "Cool Stuff"! First up DL talks about the Image Comics series "Proof". Next up Barry has the Daniel Clowes book "Wilson" (which is soon to be a motion picture). After that Scott tells us about the movie "ChungKing Express". Up next, DL has the wonderful over-sized hardcover "The Art of the Simon and Kirby Studio". Barry then talks about "The Art of Doug Sneyd". On his second pass Scott gushes on "Empress" by Mark Miller and Stuart Immonen. On his final pick of the evening DL talks a little 60's Vegas with "The Rat Pack - The Original Bad Boys". Barry talks reprint editions with the hardcover set "The Ted McKeever Library". To finish this episode Scott talks about the new live-action movie "Ghost in the Shell". That is a lot of pop-culture goodness!
