March comes in like a lion with the return of Solitaire Rose Radio. It all starts with the first part of a Greg Theakston interview. Greg has worked in inking comics, painting paperback covers, publishing comics, and many, many other things. Cory calls him up for a conversation about his life in comics starting with the first comic he remembers reading up to the work he has done preparing classic comic art for reproduction and printing incredible volumes himself of the comic book masters like Kirby, Toth and Ditko among others.
Along the way he talks about the comics he read as a child, his work putting together early comic book conventions, working for Jim Steranko, his friendship and work with Jack Kirby, and much, more more.
