Wow, awesome big episode. I particularly enjoyed the JM Dematties interview — he seems like a guy with a great attitude and perspective on things. I’m not sure I’ve read any of his work (from the sound of things, I probably have and just didn’t know it), but I’ll be on the lookout!
thanks guys!
I was listening to an old Around Comics episode with John where he talks about having Elliot S! Maggin on Word Balloon, I’m dying to hear that episode but can’t find it. Does anyone happen to know what number it its? John interviewing Maggin sounds like a great podcast.
we haven’t made that happen yet close a couple of times.
