Better Than Fiction Episode #317! Andre the Giant and Eric Powell!

Episode #317! DLNelson and Scott Sackett are back this week talking books. First up, we have another Box Brown biography with "Andre the Giant - Life and Legend". Listen as we talk about the book and other Andre the Giant stories. Next up is "The Art (and many other mistakes) of Eric Powell" written(?) by professor of psychology Blaine Wertham PhD. The focus of the book is Eric Powell's journey as an artist trying to make it. From a mediocre talented youth to a young adult struggling to refine his craft, Eric should have quit art. But no one told him to quit. So he stuck with it. We now have a large, beautiful book to look at with plenty of fancy images. Check it out. Give us a listen!
