Today we discuss the dominance of comic books in pop culture.

While comic book films have dominated the space for the past 22 years,

we look back at a time when comics had their biggest

sales ever. Marvel had 40% of the market. Image comics had 20% of the comic market. Two of the

bright, shining stars of that time of 1992, Todd McFarlane and Chris Claremont weigh in on the

topics of the time and their status in comic book lore.

An interview with the Comics Journal finds each man representing decidedly different points of view

at key junctures in their career.

Two architects of pop culture.

Pop culture, it seems like everyone is looking for another comic book to adapt and to expand.

And trust me, I have comic books.

I have a catalog of my own comic books, so I know what that's like.
