Episode 46 - Walt Simonson

In a must-hear episode for comics fans and storytellers, Geoff Boucher welcomes WALT SIMONSON of Marvel to discuss his prolific career. Simonson gives us an insider's view on his works - including Thor, X-Factor, and graphic adaptations like Close Encounters and Raiders of the Lost Ark - and his recent contribution to The Winter Men by the late John Paul Leon. You'll learn all about Simonson's approaches to storytelling and how he adapts his drawing style to the projects at hand. And if you stick around for the outro, the Mindspace team discusses the comics industry in the 70s/80s, including that one time Marvel printed a comic with literal blood. ----- You can pre-order The Winter Men on ZOOP, the crowdfunded comics community. All proceeds from the project will benefit the late artist's wife and family.
