MANIFESTATION
Yes, it's another podcast interview. This time it's a wide-ranging talk with the COMICS MANIFEST podcast. We talk about Dickens and Dostoyevsky, Eisner and Kirby, Abadazad, Moonshadow and lots more. Enjoy!
It must be great to watch cartoons and read comic books for research. I just finished watching all of the commentary and behind the scenes interviews from the Justice League Unlimited series, and that got me wondering: have you ever participated in commentary interviews for the DVD/Blu-Ray releases of any of your animated works?
I have, George, but the timing has never worked out. Most of the material is filmed in L.A. and if they come to New York, the schedule's usually tight. One of these days...!
Well, phooey! I am batting a thousand it seems. Oh well, I still have Blue Beetle and Scooby Apocalypse. The Secret Squirrel back up feature is just one of my favorite things. It made me smile.
IMPOSSIBLE, INC! Awesome!!! I remember you posting some teaser concept art a while back. It looked great, glad to know it's coming soon. Well, not SOON soon, really an agonizing wait, but you know what I mean! :)
Your IDW stuff has all been really special. I'd easily rank AUGUSTA WIND in my JMD Top Three.
Today is Jon J Muth's birthday!

DeleteI remember you mentioning a new deluxe version of Moonshadow coming out. Any idea of a release date?
ReplyDeleteI suspect early 2018, Douglas. We're just getting contracts together. Once it's all official, I'll have more info!
DeleteThen I will not put it on my Christmas list for this year. Didn't you have a new independent comic book coming out sometime this year?
DeleteIMPOSSIBLE, INC. from IDW...but it won't be out till early next year!

Thanks, David. We're working on the second issue now and we're having so much fun. Hope you enjoy it when it finally arrives!
DeleteAnd thanks for the kind words re: AUGUSTA. It's a series that I'm very proud of.
Secret Squirrel makes ME smile, too, Douglas!
