    Talksplode #119 - Chris Eliopoulos

    Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time. Known to many as the man behind Marvel's lettering for many many years, and known to even more as the illustrator of the Ordinary People Change the World children's book series, along with writer, Brad Meltzer (Talksplode #86), we know Chris Eliopoulos as a long time friend of the show. Way back when, we spent some time with him for our video show. But since it's been a while, and Chris came up with a whole new career, it was time for a check in. If you're going to break into comics and then stay in comics, it's probably going to take a herculean effort, and Chris can attest to that. Then a new opportunity came along, and he and Brad, again, made the most of it. We've got stories aplenty from back in the Marvel bullpen days, and yes, deep dive lettering talk. It's got everything!

Then after over a decade at the top of the DC heap, he went all in on creator owned work, joining Geoff Johns to introduce the new series, Rook: Exodus, from their Ghost Machine publisher, through Image Comics. Jason talks with Josh about his journey into comics, a crucial mentor, and his transition away from DC, among other things.
