Mike Baron has been a comic book writer, novelist, an Eisner winner, an Inkpot winner, and a previous guest here on the old podcast, and he and Cory sat down to chat about what he’s been up to. We talk about moving from comics to novels, self-publishing, writing classes, and his new kickstarter that will move his comic character The Badger to the world of novels. The Badger is the story of a man with multiple personality disorder, one of which is a costumed crime fighter, and his partner, Ham, a 6^th Century druid.

Action and hilarity ensue.

It’s a wide ranging conversation! Don’t ask, just download and listen!

Cory!! welcomes Tom Peyer and Stuart Moore from Ahoy comics! They talk about their new company, Ahoy, and their books The Wrong Earth and Captain Ginger.

The books they discuss are:

The Wrong Earth, a six-issue mini-series by Tom Peyer and artist Jamal Igle. The book’s lead story will tell the story of what happens when two alternate earth versions of a character named Dragonflyman (one a brutal anti-hero and another an adventurer) switch places.

Captain Ginger a space opera set on a starship that is staffed by cats who behave like cats. They’re human cats who really act like cats, written by Stuart Moore and drawn by June Brigman.

They discuss the idea of starting a new company, what Ahoy does differently, and what it’s like moving from the editorial chair to the creative chair. It’s a great discussion with two long-time comics pros!

Cory!! chats will Bill about his new version of the book, which was originally printed by TwoMorrows that ended with his leaving comics fandom. This version continues his story, has been rewritten and tells the whole story of his life from his own point of view.

They discuss the origins of the 60’s fanzines, why they didn’t have a lot of fan fiction back then, the different fanzines he created, printing processes for fans in the 60’s, his return to comics in the 80’s, and how he has become an author of comics history and biography.
