What’s in a podcast name!
The name says it all! The guys do a great job of telling the history of everything comic books. From publishers, inkers to artists! Not just the big names either. All get an equal part of history as it all contributed to what we fell in love with. A great podcast show and each one is thoughtfully planned out. I learned a lot about artists that I had forgotten or never known. Great guests as well!
