Artist extraordinaire Jamal Igle joined me for a solo discussion of his work and history, some of which flummoxed and impressed your host to new heights. Learn about Jamal's current and upcoming work at AHOY! Comics Magazines and Dark Horse Comics, all while being a teacher of comic book art. Hear Sir Jon geek out with Jamal's lengthy time at DC Comics, which probably is less cool than it sounds. Enjoy topics of multiverses, artist tools, teaching methods, and of course, comic books.

Pint O' Comics Episode 284 w/ Paul Cornell

Sun, 09 Jul 2023 18:30:00 GMT

CON & ON is the latest series from one of your humble host's favourite publishers, written by the illustrious Paul Cornell, author of a lengthy list of pop culture properties. CON & ON gets into the meat of the current comic book and convention ideal, satirizing while being thoroughly enriching with excellent central characters. It pulls no punches and pushes all the emotional buttons. Paul and I meander greatly through the show, as is wont in an episode of Pint O' Comics, but if nothing else, you'll learn a few things along the way. Check out my first live on-air guest from overseas in the 6 year history of the show! It's a technical nightmare, but always a fun time.

Alisa and Sir Jon discuss the new series, her time at Vertigo (the late, lamented publishing imprint of DC Comics), some of her books, and... disaster movies! It's the typical maze of pop culture topics on the latest episode of the Pint as Sir Jon repeatedly mispronounces Alisa's name.
