Fandom Planet #48 – The Brill Yoe Parodox

by SaxCarr

Ian Brill, formerly of BOOM! Comics, stops by to discuss his new self-published labor of love, “Dracula World Order.”  The independent comic features Ian’s story of Dracula creating a Vampire-Tocracy (our words, not his; he’s a better writer) and the struggle of the common people to survive in an oppressive time.  The book also features the additional talents of Tonci Zonjic, Rahsan Ekedal, Declan Shalvey and Gabriel Hardman, so you KNOW it’s good.  Ask for it by name at your local brick & mortar comic shop or order your copy today at http://www.tfaw.com/Profile/Dracula-World-Order-1___409125

Also, our friend Craig Yoe visits with Tim & Sax via SKYPE to talk about his new book “Frazetta Funnies” featuring the work of master artist Frank Frazetta, but not as you may expect.  In stead of barbarians and Molly Hatchet album covers, the book contains funny animal stories which, while light and fun, show Frazetta’s amazing skill at creating a page layout unparallelled.  Also, the boys discuss Yoe’s monthly POPEYE book from IDW (for which he is co-editor), a collection of underground S&M comics created by Superman’s Joe Shuster, zombies, Krazy Kat and what it’s like to have the coolest job in the comics industry.

Fandom Planet 46: The Popeye Nexus

by SaxCarr

This episode features two very special interviews! First, Tim and Sax visit with Roger Langridge, writer for IDW’s new monthly Popeye comic. The book is not only an homage to the classic EC Segar strip of the 20’s and 30’s, but is so visually appealing that
it could be a lost relic of the era, time traveled to the 21st Century for our enjoyment. Ask for POPEYE from IDW at your LCS! In addition, the great Mike Baron joins us from him home thanks to the miracle of SKYPE to discuss the return of NEXUS, which he co-created
with the magnificent Steve Rude in 1981. NEXUS makes his return to comics THIS WEEK thanks to DARK HORSE. We talk with Mike about creator owned properties, the maturity of a storyteller and his story, and the evolution of NEXUS.
