  • I love these interviews!

    I have been reading comics for over 45 years now. Growing up in the Bronze Age was such a thrill! So many amazing creators were working on such fantastic books and I truly feel that I was blessed to be there for runs like Moore on "Watchmen", Byrne on "FF", O'Neil on "The Question", and Giffen on "Justice League."

    I get the feeling that the hosts of this wonderful podcast are younger than I am, but their knowledge is vast and they do such a fantastic job with their interviews. Often when I... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chris Irving Returns | Joe Unknown #1
Q: How did you first discover comics and what kept you engaged over the years?
I was drawn in by specific creators and pivotal titles, then pursued the historical context behind them, which deepened my appreciation for storytelling craft and pushed me to interview and study creators deeply.
Campbell Whyte
Q: How does Whyte balance autobiographical elements with sensitivity to family when working on How to Survive a World on Fire?
He explains the tightrope of honesty and respect, noting the need to navigate real family histories with care, sometimes through fictionalized or speculative elements, to protect loved ones while telling meaningful stories.
Campbell Whyte
Q: How did you decide when to stop evolving the story, especially with Luna Express?
He describes capping the project to eight chapters due to production size and the desire to keep the work contained, while acknowledging ongoing potential for future projects and the value of experimentation.
Campbell Whyte
Q: What was step one in Luna Express and how did you know you were on the right track?
Whyte explains that the seed was a central question—what if Sailor Moon were set in Australia—and the project formed gradually, with a non-linear exploration that allowed the core dramatic question to emerge as the world coalesced.
Ande Parks
Q: Moving from genre to genre—does that change your process or require more research?
He explains that the core process remains similar: identify a character and world, and aim to say something meaningful through them; research can vary in depth depending on the project, with some works demanding intense historical detail and others more flexible if the story centers on character and theme.
