Besides Green Lantern, some of the highlights include Blue Beetle, where he designed the costume and look of the Jaime Reyes incarnation; Black Lightning: Year One; a run on Detective Comics that spotlighted The Question; RED, which was adapted into a movie starring Bruce Willis (among others); and Batman and The Signal.

    Bob Schreck

    Bob Schreck

    Another editorial powerhouse, Bob Schreck has been all over the comics industry for the better part of five decades! He started out organizing and running conventions for Creation Entertainment in the mid 70s, then worked in marketing for Marvel before taking the reins at Comico (with then-wife and past guest Diana Schutz as EIC). From there, it was on to Dark Horse, where Bob expanded from his marketing role into editorial, overseeing such titles as Frank Miller's Sin City, Art Adam's Monkeyman and O'Brien, and the influential anthology Dark Horse Presents. Soon after his Dark Horse stint, he co-founded Oni Press, where among other projects, brought filmmaker Kevin Smith into the comics world. Then it was on to DC, where Bob oversaw huge Batman storylines like Hush, The Dark Knight Strikes Again, and Batman: Year 100, as well as Green Lantern, Green Arrow, All-Star Superman, and Sweet Tooth (Vertigo). And he still wasn't done, working for IDW and Legendary Comics after that. But jeez, we've got to end this intro!
    You can follow Bob on Facebook.

Brian B Sheehan Is Dead ,

Like finding a gem in the $1 bin!!

Cannot overstate how great this show is! If you are a longtime fan of comics or someone just discovering how awesome this hobby is, do yourself a genuine favor & follow these gents! They not only interview some of the legends of past & present, but they ask GREAT questions & establish the sort of chemistry that makes it like listening to your best buds at a con! Huge fan fellas, keep coming with the goods!!

Comics McBookface ,

Great guests, fun hosts

It’s always a good time on DBB! They get the comic book legends and go in-depth on the interviews. Don’t sleep on this one.

Klaus' cousin ,

Now this is a podcast I can get behind!

Very happy to have discovered this great podcast. Much like Word Balloon, these are great one on one interviews w/ industry professionsal's. So much more entertaining & interesting than a mojority of podcast's where it's just basically some fans sitting around giving their trivial two cent opinion's. This is great stuff. Please keep it going! Highly recommended for any true comic book fan.
