Summary

It’s time for a good old fashioned comic book creator talk! Josh Flanagan talks to comic creators and collaborators Tom King, and Mitch Gerads, about their work on Vertigo’s The Sheriff of Babylon, as well as Tom’s work on The Vision, The Omega Men, and Batman. Plus Mitch spent a while on The Punisher and The Activity. We talk about their working together, Mitch’s stylistic past, Tom’s past with the CIA, as well as iFanboy’s secret part in the forming of this relationship. There’s a bit of talk about the industry, and a lot about the craft of comic book making. Plus we have a good time, and try to get to the bottom of how to pronounce “Gerads”. Total Running Time: 01:11:37 Music: “King of Rock” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
