    From Rideshare to Impostor: Owen King & Jesse Kellerman Dive into ‘Self Help’

    This week on The Marvelists, Peter Melnick and Eddie Wilson are joined by special guests Owen King and Jesse Kellerman. The acclaimed novelists sit down to discuss their hit Image Comics miniseries Self Help, a California noir comedy full of mistaken identity, self-help gurus, rideshare drivers, shady opportunists, and plenty of dark humor. Owen and Jesse share how they teamed up to create the story, their experience working with artist Marianna Ignazzi, and why comics were the ideal medium for this sun-soaked tale of ambition, deception, and influencer culture gone wrong. They also talk about channeling classic Hollywood noir vibes and bringing their twisted, funny vision to life across the five-issue series.

    In Conversation with Frank Miller - Legends, Returns, and Pushing the Wall

    In this landmark episode of The Marvelists, hosts Peter and Eddie sit down with the legendary Frank Miller for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation that spans decades of comic book history, raw creative wisdom, and a few Hell’s Kitchen hot dogs. The discussion kicks off with Frank’s powerful new book Push the Wall — how it came together, the raw personal fire behind it, and the hard-earned advice he wishes someone had given him earlier in his career. From there, the trio celebrates the 40th anniversary of The Dark Knight Returns, reflecting on the seismic impact it still has today. Frank opens up about his early Marvel days, sharing warm and wild memories of working with Jim Shooter and the late great Neal Adams. The conversation naturally flows into his transformative run on Daredevil, the character that made him a household name, and whether a return to the Man Without Fear is even on the table. He also dives deep into his latest project, Ronin Rising, breaking down the collaborative process with artist Philip Tan and what it felt like revisiting that world. Things get delightfully goofy when Peter and Eddie hit Frank with the ultimate New York question: what are the best places to eat in Hell’s Kitchen? The answers do not disappoint. Later, Frank geeks out over tools of the trade, talking shop about his favorite Blackwing pencils. The episode builds toward the future as he previews the upcoming Push the Wall tour, leading into a heartfelt moment where Peter asks what it’s been like watching Scott Snyder explode as a major Batman voice — and what advice Frank has personally given him along the way. Finally, with DC’s Absolute line crushing it, the hosts ask the million-dollar question: if Frank were handed the keys to reinvent any character for the line, who would he choose and why? Funny, reflective, inspiring, and packed with stories only Frank Miller could tell — this is an episode every comic fan needs to hear. New episodes of The Marvelists drop weekly. Subscribe now and join the conversation. **Push the Wall. Never stop.**

    From Swamp Thing to Dinosaurs: A Deep Dive with Stephen R. Bissette

    In this special episode of The Marvelists, hosts Peter Melnick and Eddie Wilson sit down with acclaimed comic book artist, writer, publisher, and educator Stephen R. Bissette for a wide-ranging conversation that bridges the worlds of mainstream comics, independent publishing, and creative rebellion. Best known for his groundbreaking work on DC’s Saga of the Swamp Thing alongside Alan Moore and John Totleben, Bissette brought a revolutionary level of detail, horror, and ecological depth to the title in the 1980s. But his career extends far beyond the Bayou: from co-founding the influential horror anthology Taboo to self-publishing the ambitious Tyrant series—a meticulously researched, life-cycle epic starring a Tyrannosaurus rex that remains a high-water mark in creator-owned comics. Whether you’re a Marvel fan curious about the wider industry, a Swamp Thing aficionado, or simply love stories about dinosaur comics and artistic integrity, this episode delivers insights from one of the medium’s most thoughtful and uncompromising voices. Expect plenty of behind-the-pages stories, reflections on the evolution of the industry, and why dinosaurs (and swamp monsters) still rule.
