On this week’s show, among other things, we discuss:
– The influence of animation upon a generation of artists!
– Our favorite comic of all time, “Batman Odyssey!”
– Northerners vs. Southerners!
Let’s meet our guest, shall we?
Sanford Greene is an artist who has worked for some of the biggest comic companies in the world – Archie (“Sonic the Hedgehog,” “Mega Man”), DC (“Wonder Girl,” “Legion of Super-Heroes”), Marvel (“Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man,” “Deadpool Team Up”), Dark Horse (“Dark Horse Presents”) and Image (“Wildguard: Fool’s Gold”). He recently funded a successful Kickstarter for an art book, “Deadlines Vol. 4.” He is also a major part of Cola Con, a comics/music/culture convention, happening this weekend in Columbia, South Carolina. He can be found on Twitter, on Facebook, on deviantArt, and at his website.
As always, your hosts are:
Brian Salvatore – New Jerseyan, New York Mets enthusiast, host of “Input/Output,” a music podcast, and occasional blogger/freelance writer. He has never met a dog he didn’t like (even that one that bit his leg when he was 10), and has baked better bread than he ever thought possible.
Chad Bowers – South Carolinian, GI Joe enthusiast, co-writer of “Subatomic Party Girls” “Down Set Fight,” and “Awesome Hospital” with Chris Sims, and writer of “Monster Plus.” He teaches us cool expressions like “Oh, snakes!” and has a lot of opinions about barbeque.
Matthew Meylikhov – Bostonian, cat and beard enthusiast, co-writer of “Detective Space Cat” with Colin Bell, writer of “Morning Glories Babies,” “Morning Glories Academy Study Hall” (both backmatter for the Image Comics series “Morning Glories“) and “Control,” and letterer extraordinaire. He reads more comics than anyone on the planet, and has sworn off White Castle for life.
