This episode was originally broadcast on August 6, 2014.

It’s a good thing truth can be stranger than fiction, because cartoonists telling stories about real people already have to compete with all the universes of imaginary characters crowding the shelves. On today’s episode, the lads eschew the usual single-title spotlight to take a look at some OGNs that make real events just as entertaining as their fictional shelf-buddies:

SHACKLETON: ANTARCTIC ODYSSEY by Nick Bertozzi
THE HYPO by Noah Van Sciver
FEYNMAN by Ottaviani and Myrick
BOXERS & SAINTS by Gene Luen Yang
WOMAN REBEL: THE MARGARET SANGER STORY by Peter Bagge

All those works plus some other non-fiction favorites show up in this discussion-slash-rumination on the advantages, disadvantages, and challenges comics creators face when trying to bring real life to the printed page.

Greg Matiasevich has read enough author bios that he should be better at coming up with one for himself, yet surprisingly isn't. However, the years of comic reading his parents said would never pay off obviously have, so we'll cut him some slack on that. He lives in Baltimore, co-hosts (with Mike Romeo) the Robots From Tomorrow podcast, writes Multiversity's monthly Shelf Bound column dedicated to comics binding, and can be followed on Twitter at @GregMatiasevich.
