Todd Nauck -
Here’s something you didn’t know about Todd Nauck; he’s got a secret identity. True! No, I’m not gonna tell you what it is, then it wouldn’t be a secret! But I will tell you this; it involves a costume. No, not a superhero costume! It’s a costume from a play. No, I’m not gonna tell you what play, that would give it away! Okay, it’s from ‘Les Mis.”

If you haven’t seen the film yet, do not listen to this episode until you do.
A couple of quick production notes. The service we used to make t...
Brittany Holzherr grew up reading comics in a household where they were always around ‘cause her Dad had been into them. Her brother’s name is Kent ‘cause her Mom loved the Superman TV show. Just they dug comics. Like most of us in the business, Brittany still finds it a little surreal that’s she’s IN the business. We’re all just very glad she is.
So here's the part that I think is so impressive; of the seven original Image founders, Erik Larsen is the only one who wrote, drew, and published his breakout hit, The Savage Dragon, and got it out on a ...fairly...monthly basis, AND STILL DOES TO THIS DAY! He loves comics, loves making comics, and he'd love you to listen to us talk!

Dan Schkade is a terrific artist/writer who is currently drawing the Flash Gordon daily strip for King Features. He's also written and drawn a lot of other cool stuff including The Spirit, Battlestar Galactica, Impossible Jones, and his creator-owned titles; Saint John and Lavender Jack. But what you need to know most it's pronounced "SHKah - dee." Like Scotty. Like the dog. Or the Chief Engineer.
We've been doing this podcast thing for almost a year now and it amazes me how, after talking about their lives and careers for the majority of each episode, nearly every guest suddenly becomes a 12 year old kid again when asked about their favorite comics, their favorite characters. Jim Calafiore is no different and I was happy to be in the room when he started talking about his favorites! Good on you, Jim! And you...what's your ...
Todd's best friend and Perhapanauts partner, Craig, returns to the show to chat up what's going on with the various cool projects he's working on and talks about the visualization process when it comes to bringing a comic plot to life. I mean, it seems pretty cut and dried, right...? But it's not. It can be a bear. It's all very interesting stuff and you should listen.
Tom Reilly is a dynamic artist whose work has brought to life The Thing, Ant Man, and now the exciting new G.I. Joe series! We talk about all kindsa things, but especially about The Thing. We love The Thing. It's one of the Things we have in common. I'm not trying to do this, it just happens. Anyway, one of the long-running debates in comics is ... does The Thing have teeth? Some artists draw him with, some draw him without. Whadda...
Mike Marts should teach a class on being positive and productive. In his long career as an editor at Marvel and then DC Comics and then back to Marvel again and then at Acclaim and Aftershock, and now at MadCave Studios, he's the guy everyone wants to work with and everyone wants to work for. He knows how to not burn bridges or close any doors. Although, if there's a fire, you should close the doors to try to cut off the oxygen tha...
Eric Henson has worn many hats. He's been a soldier, a preacher, an artist, and a writer. In 2011 he was the subject of the Morgan Spurlock documentary , Comic-Con IV : A Fan's Hope. He is also Todd's friend. And for the past year or so, they have been working on a secret project that is slated to come out sometime in 2026. Well, secret until now, I guess. You should listen...
Roy Richardson is his own worst enemy. He KNOWS he shouldn't go on the Jack Kirby Discussion Boards and talk about the King. He KNOWS the internet was created just to give people a place to stir each other up. He KNOWS he'll come back frustrated and pissed at how ignorant some people can be. But he does it anyway. Oh, well -- I guess we all have our vices. For me, it's the ponies.
Megan Huang is new to the comics world. Fairly new. She is a funny, wonderfully charming person, an artist with a bright style and a bright future, and my new pal.
