Bobby Cronin and Crystal Skillman: King Kirby, Broadway Podcast Network, Marvel Comics, Captain America, The Avengers, X-Men, Composer, Playwright Baring It All with Call Me Adam

My spidey senses are tingling today because I am swinging into the world of Marvel Comics with my special guests Crystal Skillman & Bobby Cronin, whose fantastic podcast, King Kirby, is burning up the Broadway Podcast Network.
I talk with Crystal & Bobby about their love of comics, how they adapted King Kirby (originally a play by Crystal & her husband Fred Van Lente) into a podcast & much more!
King Kirby is about Jack Kirby, the most famous cartoonist you never heard of, who co-created such mega hit comics as Captain America, The Avengers & X-Men.
Part 2 of our interview will be released soon.
