Awesome interview Dave keep you the amazing work he did some characters for the new marvel platinum set and I’m collecting Adam warlock for a little bit and he drew Adam in the new set great great work
Great chat!
"FF48 will always be there" 😂😂 i freaking love that! I'm definitely stealing that quote. Great talk guys!!
Great talk! Thanks for sharing the love for music, comics, and pop culture all around. Mike is the best.
This made a memory pop: my first visit to Forbidden Planet when I was 14. There was a huge “queue” in the street for an Adam West singing… didn’t have the time to make it but at least I was able to see him in person.
Ignorance is bliss.
The two cartoonists I could listen to all day are Stephen Bissette, for wisdom and pure horror knowledge. And Allred for pure unadulterated passion for comics and charisma.
Love hearing Mike talk about his family involvement in all this. Great interview great energy…we need a part 2!
Fantastic Episode Dave! Love your Channel !!
Awesome interview, Dave! I know you know that Mike is one of my favorite comic book creators so it was cool to see such a chill, wide-ranging conversation between you and him. I'm stoked to keep reading Batman Dark Ages and def looking forward to more DC work from him. I need more Frank Einstein in my life though! So much fun.
