Better Than Fiction Episode #418! IDW Artisan Editions!

Episode #418! This week Scott Sackett and DLNelson focus their attention on IDW's Artisan Editions. While the Artisan Editions contain the same content as the Artist Editions, their smaller size make them easier to enjoy (and shelve). We look at Mazzucchelli's Daredevil Born Again, Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Simonson's The Mighty Thor, Kirby's Fantastic Four and Romita's The Amazing Spider-Man. We also talk a little about the Netflix Marvel shows! Give it a listen!

Better Than Fiction Episode #417! Polar, Lead Poisoning and Cartoon County!

Episode #417! An all-new "Cool Stuff" episode! The Black Kaiser is the world's most dangerous spy. In Polar vols. 0-4, The Black Kaiser is dragged out of retirement with a failed assassination attempt. Then he gets busy with a whole lot of killing. At one point many top comic-strip cartoonists lived close to each other in Connecticut. Cullen Murphy's book Cartoon County tells of Murphy's father and his famous cartooning colleagues. Dan Brereton's The Nocturnals omnibus vol.1 is brought to the table. We also examine the art book, Lead Poisoning: The Pencil Art of Geof Darrow. Check it out!
