  • The founder, president, and CEO of Mile High Comics is in the hot seat today, and Chuck Rozanski does not pull punches! The extremely forthright collector and retailer talks about how they got into selling comics, turning it into a career, and founding an institution that's still dominating the retail market today.

    You can follow Chuck himself on Instagram @chuckrozanski or buy something from Mile High's massive back-issue inventory at milehighcomics.com.

    * This interview was recorded before Chuck's car accident. We wish them a speedy recovery!

  • Much like Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man, Chuck Austen can just about do it all. He's been a writer, artist, creator, animator, and producer over his roughly 40 years in entertainment. But Chuck started as a comics artist, starting at Eclipse and had a short stint on Alan Moore's formative Miracleman series. He subsequently did more mostly indie work before taking a comics hiatus to work on King of the Hill. Roaring back with Marvel Knights, he illustrated the initial run on the new Elektra series and then wrote and illustrated U.S. War Machine, which was controversial for its violence and politics. He transitioned to mostly a writer from there, taking on Uncanny X-Men, Captain America, The Avengers and more at Marvel, and then Superman: Metropolis and Action Comics for DC.

    After creating comics of his own (like Edgeworld and Flywires), Chuck is mostly back in animation now, producing shows like Dragons: The Nine Realms and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. You can follow him at his website: chuckleausten.com.

  • An artist of the highest caliber, Zander Cannon broke into comics on The Tick spinoff, The Chainsaw Vigilante, and never looked back! He struck out on his own with The Replacement God series, then teamed up with Alan Moore and Gene Ha for Top 10, under Moore's America's Best Comics imprint. After the Top 10 spinoff Smax, Zander started a long-time partnership with Kevin Cannon (no relation) on creative and commercial endeavors. Then there was his own graphic novel Heck, followed by his hugely successful series Kaijumax! Sounds like he has a bright future in this industry.

    * Apologies for technical issues with Mike's mic during the episode. Zander is clear as a bell!

  • Another editorial powerhouse, Bob Schreck has been all over the comics industry for the better part of five decades! He started out organizing and running conventions for Creation Entertainment in the mid 70s, then worked in marketing for Marvel before taking the reins at Comico (with then-wife and past guest Diana Schutz as EIC). From there, it was on to Dark Horse, where Bob expanded from his marketing role into editorial, overseeing such titles as Frank Miller's Sin City, Art Adam's Monkeyman and O'Brien, and the influential anthology Dark Horse Presents. Soon after his Dark Horse stint, he co-founded Oni Press, where among other projects, brought filmmaker Kevin Smith into the comics world. Then it was on to DC, where Bob oversaw huge Batman storylines like Hush, The Dark Knight Strikes Again, and Batman: Year 100, as well as Green Lantern, Green Arrow, All-Star Superman, and Sweet Tooth (Vertigo). And he still wasn't done, working for IDW and Legendary Comics after that. But jeez, we've got to end this intro!

    You can follow Bob on Facebook.

  • A fount of superlative editorial skill and knowledge, you may know Diana Schutz from her 25 years at Dark Horse Comics, where she oversaw such game-changing series as Frank Miller's Sin City, Mike Mignola's Hellboy, Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo, Paul Chadwick's Concrete, and Matt Wagner's Grendel, to name but a few. Of course, we rewind all the way back to the beginning, where Diana started her comics career at a Canadian shop earnestly titled The ComicShop. Diana then created a comicsw newsletter called the Telegraph Wire and contributed to various fanzines and conventions, before she was hired at Marvel for a short stint. Then, it was on to Comico, during that imprint's heyday, and ultimately Dark Horse. What a career, and we barely scratch the surface!

    You can find and follow Diana on Facebook.

  • They came out of nowhere, like a jolt of lightning in 1990. Packs of trading cards, but instead of featuring sports heroes, they were the heroes of the Marvel universe. That's right, we're talking Marvel trading cards with the two guys who did the heavy lifting for those early 90s sets: Bob Budiansky and Tom Brevoort! Celebrating the 34th anniversary of the first set (why wait for a round number?), we get into everything cards: how the project came about, how (and by whom) they were designed, making character decisions, soliciting the art, and where exactly they got those back-of-the-card stats.

    It's a crazy tale, and one we're excited to share with you! Thank you to David Harper and his 2014 article "The Secret Origin and Lasting Impact of the Marvel Universe Cards" (on SKTCHD) for inspiring this episode.
