Pint O' Comics Episode 328 w/ Kristen Kiesling

Sun, 12 May 2024 18:30:00 GMT

THE HARROWING is author Kristen Kiesling's first published graphic novel, a YA story of a teen with a strange paranormal ability to see possible violent futures from those that she touches. It's dark, moody, and really stretches the "Young Adult" descriptive - in the best possible way. Kristen and your host discuss the book, her writing, the publishing world, and her creative partner for THE HARROWING, Rye Hickman. Join us for a trip into the weird, the wonderful, and the eventual tech mishap at the end of the show that might make you laugh out loud. Only on WESU!

THE HARROWING is available now from Abrams Fanfare. Ask your FLCS to order a copy!

Pint O' Comics Episode 315 w/ Dave Baker

Sun, 11 Feb 2024 18:30:00 GMT

MARY TYLER MOOREHAWK is the latest work from cartoonist Dave Baker, a wild adventure tale spanning decades, breaking boundaries of style, design, and genres. It's partly graphic novel, partly prose, partly fictionalized history, and it's all a worthy endeavour. Listen to Dave and I discuss the work, the process, and the inspirations behind it. Available on February 14th from Top Shelf, it's a 300 page monster of a book that is well worth the time spent to delve into. Highest recommendation.

Jim Ottaviani's gt-labs publications have been of interest to me since they first became known to me, as unusual graphic novels focusing on science and scientists. Since First Second Books started publishing his work, he's only become much more well received, complete with a best-seller. His newest graphic novel, with artist Jerel Dye, is due out this week. It's called EINSTEIN and this show focuses on it in a jammed full hour of science, comic books, and fun.
