Eating the Fantastic

Scott Edelman

I’ve been going to science fiction, fantasy, horror, and comic book conventions since I was 15, and I’ve found that while the con which takes place within the walls of a hotel or convention center is always fun, the con away from the con—which takes place when I wander off-site with friends for a meal—can often be more fun. In fact, my love of tracking down good food while traveling the world atte... more

  • Al Milgrom!

    Excellent interview with the always fantastic Al Milgrom! He’s done it all! And he even wrestled me into submission! One of my favorite creators to work with!

  • Great fun

    I love Scott’s interviews with old-timey comics creators. He was very much a part of that scene, beginning when he was a teenager in the 1970’s. He went to comic cons before they became overly commercialized. He worked in the Marvel Bullpen when all the legends were there… Stan, Roy, etc. And he has a lot of stories. more

It is a very informal way to conduct an interview. This is a great idea and I can't beleive that someone had not thought of this before! I have an hour commute to work and this ... more

  • “Fantastic” Food for Thought

    As a comic book aficionado, I relish this booster seat at the table that elevates me to the level of trusted confidante as Edelman dishes w/industry titans such as Marv Wolfman, Larry Lieber, Gerry Conway, Don McGregor, and (personal hero) Paul Levitz, former DC head honcho and longtime scribe of The Legion of Super-Heroes. These long-form reminiscences are the podcast equivalent of Vanity Fair profiles, exhaustively detailed and served w/steaming sides of priceless anecdotes, yet somehow still ... more
