This is Comic Geek Speak episode 487, the best of Shane Kelly.

Welcome to Comic Geek Speak. I'm your host, Peter. Just like we did with Brian and Matt,

we're going to do the same little birthday celebration for Shane,

who celebrated a birthday over a month ago,

so Shane, sorry, this is so late.

We're presenting the best clips of Shane Kelly,

and also I've included what I know are some of his favorite moments as well.

So, happy birthday Shane, happy belated birthday, a friend of ours, who's been a long-time comic reader as well, Mr. Shane Mulholland.

Hello.

How you doing today, Shane?

Good. How are you?

I'm excellent.

My top five artists, Neil Adams, I feel like he really brought something to a Batman back in the 70s when he started it. Well, we should preface that with saying you might be the world's number one Batman fan if there is such a thing. That's kind of you. Well, he is wearing a Batman sweatshirt. Yeah, yeah, and a ring. And I got to watch.

You don't need to, you know, fool our audience.

I also went then with Jim Lee and Brian Hitch for more contemporary.

I've always enjoyed the detail that Brian Hitch puts into the setting scenes and cityscapes.

Jim Lee, the way he started with X-Men, and then I followed him through Gen 13 and Divine

Right, and now he's doing some stuff for D.C. that I just absolutely love when he did the

Batman run on D.C. That just melted my heart. That was great.

Then I went with George Perez and Kevin McGuire for more of an 80s style.

Kevin McGuire, ever since Justice League, follow him almost anywhere he goes.

The facial expressions he gives on those characters, just fantastic.
