Sun, 04 Aug 2024 18:30:00 GMT

Terrificon approaches and Mitch Hallock gives you the skinny on the whole show - or as much as we could pack in an hour with Mitch's internet down and two guys with faulty memory. But hey - lots of Larry Wilcox and John Byner! Terrificon will be held at Mohegan Sun Casino on August 16th through the 18th. Be there with hundreds of comic book movers and shakers, as well as actors, voice talent, cosplayers, and at least two different Matt Ryans. You'll think it's TERRIFIC.

Pint O' Comics Episode 317 w/ Paul Kupperberg (and Mitch Hallock)

Sun, 25 Feb 2024 18:30:00 GMT

Paul Kupperberg has had numerous assignments at DC Comics, Archie Comics, the Weekly World News, and doing Mad Libs that you kind of think he's done it all. Yet for the last few years he's branched out into a published interview series of books that are true pieces of history. From DIRECT COMMENTS where previously published interviews with working greats of the time was edited and collected, to DIRECT CONVERSATIONS in which Paul talked to his contemporaries, to the currently crowdfunding DIRECT CREATIVITY with discussions amongst currently active creators. These books are filled to the brim with information of a sort that would normally be lost to history, making them important to all comic book writers, artists and historians. Paul and I talk around the books and their import, wind our way through some bizarre and fun commentary, and just laugh a little as we do. Along for the ride is Mitch "King of the Nerds" Hallock bringing the chaos. You haven't heard anything until you hear someone singing the theme to My Mother the Car... ONLY one live radio and Pint O' Comics!

Pint O' Comics Episode 224 - Memorializing with Mitch Hallock

Sun, 08 May 2022 18:30:00 GMT

Mitch Hallock, "King of the Nerds" and organizer of Terrificon, joined Sir Jon for this show to remember two giants of comic book history that passed beyond the mortal coil within 7 days of each other. Neal Adams revolutionized the comic art form in the late 60's and early 70's, breaking open set layout standards and bringing a fresh look to comic books, becoming a force of nature hard to match. George Perez did things with comic book crowds few other artists have ever been able to duplicate, and his work was in demand right up to the day he retired. It was a rough week for fans, and we didn't even get a moment to bring up James Bama. An hour of retrospective fun here on Pint O' Comics.
