Michael Eisner didn't start the trend of the Disney Company acquiring intellectual properties, but he did speed up the process that was then taken to Ludicrous Speed by Bob Iger.  The Muppets characters were among those that Eisner spent years trying to bring into the Disney umbrella.  

Eisner-winning author and comics historian Nat Gertler is here to talk about his long association with Peanuts, preserving obscure Schulz art and comics, and why these characters still resonate within culture. Nat is the author of Charles M. Schulz: The Art and Life of the Peanuts Creator in 100 Objects as well as The Complete Idiot's Guide to Creating a Graphic Novel.

This week on Toon'd In!, Jim Cummings welcomes the legendary animator, writer, director, and Darkwing Dad himself—Tad Stones! The creative force behind Darkwing Duck, Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, and the Aladdin sequels and series sits down for a no-holds-barred chat packed with passion, nostalgia, and a few myth-busting surprises (yes, we're talking about Darkwing and Batman... again).From his early days at Disney during the Eisner boom to crafting some of the most beloved Saturday morning staples of all time, Tad shares what it really took to bring these shows to life—story pitches, character development, late-night rewrites, and the moments that made it all worthwhile. He and Jim reflect on their collaborations, the evolution of TV animation, and why the heart behind the art still matters most.

In our latest episode, we sit down with veteran comic book artist Mark Pennington to explore his remarkable career spanning four decades in the industry. Mark shares his journey from graduating the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art in 1985 to starting his career doing designs for iconic toy lines like G.I. Joe  at Hasbro before transitioning to comic book inking in 1988. We dive into his extensive work across major publishers including Marvel, DC, Image, CrossGen, and others, inking legendary titles like X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Eclipso, Violator and more, with particular focus on his acclaimed work on Shade, the Changing Man, which earned him an Eisner nomination for Best Inker in 1993. Mark discusses the often-underappreciated art of inking, his collaboration process with pencilers, working on high-profile titles like Hellblazer and JLA, and how the industry has evolved since he started. We also explore his move into self-publishing and his continued passion for both commercial comic work and fine art.You can follow Mark on Instagram @markpenningtonart.Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.

Steve discusses his breakthrough work launching the 2015 Midnighter series and its sequel Midnighter and Apollo, both of which earned GLAAD Media Award nominations, and how he approached writing those characters with authenticity and respect.

Jace joins Mad Cave Studios CEO/CCO  Mark London live from their booth on the floor of SDCC 2025 to chat about how the con went, winning an Eisner and continuing to build a community around Mad Cave titles and creators. The guys also give a little peek behind the scenes on how important SDCC is in terms of meeting with creators and building out future projects and plans. Mad Cave is an up and coming studio that has really grown in the past few years, but continues to push and it's clear they won't rest on past success. In short, it's a publisher you should be paying attention to.

On today's episode, I talk to Eisner and GLAAD Award-winning comics writer Mark Russell. Born in Springfield, OR, Mark broke into professional writing with his book God Is Disappointed in You, a modern retelling of the Bible. This led to comics work writing Prez for DC in 2015 and a number of other comics in the last decade including The Flintstones, Exit, Stage Left!: The Snagglepuss Chronicles, Fantastic Four: Life Story, Superman: Space Age, Batman: Dark Age and many others. Most recently, Mark finished a run writing X-Factor for the first wave of post-Krakoa X-Men books and has a number of books on the horizon for publishers like Ahoy and Mad Cave!

As reported by The Beat, the Eisner-winning comics journalism website (hell yeah), Comic Book Couples Counselingkinda kicked off San Diego Comic-Con International this year with our Live Podcast Recording at Now or Never Comics in Downtown San Diego. On Tuesday, July 22nd, we invited superstar cartoonist Daniel Warren Johnson to chat with us after a signing at the shop. With The Moon Is Following Us recently concluded, his final issues of Transformerson their way, and the Kickstarter launch of his behemoth art book, we had a lot to discuss with DWJ. Today's episode presents the audio from our discussion in full, complete with questions from the audience, and a serious discussion of where The Moon Is Following Us took its readers, without spoiling the narrative for those who have not finished the comic. We also explore Daniel Warren Johnson's relationship with comic book shops and comic conventions. What is his ideal store? Is San Diego different from the many other comic conventions across this country?

Should Chip Zdarsky's promotional magazine, Zdarsky Comic News, win an Eisner at this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con International ceremony? We brought the question to him directly, and as you'll hear, he rejected the whole notion of a nomination extremely quickly. Zdarsky is having a ball working on his free periodical every month. He puts tremendous time, energy, and thought into each issue. Still, as far as the category of Best Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism is concerned, he wants someone else to take home the statue, and “knows” that someone else will take home the statue. We shall see the results very soon. Zdarsky Comic News began as a lark, as most things with Chip Zdarsky do. He turned his back on social media, adamantly believing it served no positive purpose, especially when it came to promoting his comics. Zdarksy Comic News' primary mission was to inform folks in comic shops about what he was working on and give them a little chuckle in the process. Since the first issue, however, Zdarsky Comic News has become its own unique monster. The cartoonist is slowly building a staff around himself, and it's time to decide whether or not to kill the beast or let it grow into something larger and more significant. Through advertising, Zdarsky Comic News pays for itself, but it might need a little more to become the next Comics Journal, or its evil stepbrother. Shortly before the 2025 Eisner Awards, we spoke with Chip Zdarsky about his free pamphlet, and that's all we talked about, which seemed to surprise him. If you want more Captain America talk or Public Domain conversation, you'll have to go somewhere else. We were only interested in Chip Zdarsky's mad side-hustle and what he thinks about the current state of comic book journalism. You can find Zdarsky Comic News at your local comic book shop, and you should also consider subscribing to Chip Zdarsky's Substack.

They're constantly snagging rockstar creators like James Stokoe, Tom Scioli, Andrew MacLean, Louie Joyce, Jake Smith, Eric Powell, Rosie Knight, and Oliver Ono to unleash their talents on cinema's most significant kaiju universe. And this July, IDW is taking their Godzilla books to the next level by introducing the Kei-Sei era. This new shared universe line begins with Godzilla #1 by Tim Seeley and Nikola Čižmešija. There's a new Godzilla design, a mess load of Kaiju antagonists…and protagonists - plus, superpowered human characters. Thanks to IDW Publishing, it's a good time to be a fan of the Big G and quality comics. In stores this June, Oni Press proudly presents a science fiction icon's unlikely return to existence in Benjamin #1 - a new, prestige format limited series from Philip K. Dick Award winner Ben H. Winters and artist Leomacs. Do you remember the work of acclaimed novelist Benjamin J. Carp? Across more than 44 novels and hundreds of short stories, Carp established himself as a counterculture revolutionary. He died in 1982, after years of Southern Californian excess finally claimed his life...until 2025...when Benjamin Carp awakens, alive, in a burned-out motel room on the fringes of Los Angeles. Explore the metatextual nexus between existence and oblivion, past and future, genius and madness, this June in Benjamin #1 – only from Oni Press.

You don't need to be told this: San Diego Comic-Con International is a comic convention unlike any other in the world. As yearly attendees, it's our favorite time of the year at our favorite place on the planet, but what does such a colossal gathering of geekdoms truly mean for a publisher, and how can a company raise its voice above a million other competing screams? We presented these questions to Oni Press Publisher and President Hunter Gorinson, as well as Editor-in-Chief Sierra Hahn. Somehow, they're madly in love with SDCC, and we're eager to share with you the Oni Press 2025 Comic-Con battle plan. From their words, you can form your path to conquering Comic-Con. This year marks the third anniversary of Hunter Gorinson and Sierra Hahn's time at Oni Press. You've undoubtedly noticed, they've been extremely productive. Beyond recent partnerships with EC and the NacelleVerse, they've recently announced dealings with Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, and Josh C. Waller's SpectreVision. High Strangeness is a five-part experiment in sequential storytelling, featuring firsthand accounts of real paranormal encounters, guided by creators such as Chris Condon, Christopher Cantwell, Christian Ward, Dave Chisholm, Zac Thompson, and Cecil Castellucci. Say no more, we're in. We also discuss the recently announced Crownsville from Rodney Barnes and Elia Bonetti. This supernatural twist on true-life horror is precisely what you want from the co-creator of Killadelphia, and it's guaranteed to stir profound emotions in any contemporary reader. Hunter Gorinson and Sierra Hahn are very excited for folks to discover what Barnes and Bonetti are brewing with this one. Most importantly, our conversation puts you on the showfloor at San Diego Comic-Con as a publisher. The stakes are as high as the excitement that runs down every aisle. Whether you want to attend SDCC as a guest or a creator, our chat with Gorinson and Hahn will get you strategizing your own Comic-Con mission statement.

Today, we begin our mission to bring San Diego Comic-Con International to you. That means four episodes in your podcast feed this week! First up is writer Alex Segura. He's been handed the keys to the Star Wars kingdom, working on the new Marvel Comics ongoing series alongside artist Phil Noto and letterer Clayton Cowles. The new series fills the gaps between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. The New Republic just slayed the Empire. Now what? We chat with Alex Segura about his Star Wars origin, the responsibility of steering the ship during such a critical moment within the canon, and how he'll test Luke Skywalker when he's seemingly at his Jedi Knight peak. Some writers would throw all their childhood toys into the sandbox with a project like this one, but Segura is cautious not to stuff the story with wish-fulfillment. His Star Wars is a carefully considered narrative, beautifully realized by two top-tier collaborators. As you'll also hear, a franchise like Star Wars can be overwhelming for the audience as well. How do you push the envelope for diehard readers while not alienating potential new fans of the series? What's that line in Hamilton? War is the easy part; governing is the hard part. Star Wars is rolling out monthly from Marvel Comics. Make sure you keep up to date with everything Alex Segura has going on by following his Blue Sky, Instagram, and Substack.

The brilliant Eisner winning writer RYAN NORTH is not only writing Shawn's favorite comic run of the past few years, FANTASTIC FOUR, he's also writing the new limited series KRYPTO: THE LAST DOG OF KRYPTON. In this episode, he and Shawn celebrate Superman, Krypto the Super Dog, Fantastic Four, Kurt Vonnegut, Star Trek, computer science, and so much more. Is there anything they DON'T discuss? You'll have to tune in to find out!

Not too long ago, the United States Government confirmed the existence of UFOs, but we had too much going on to care at the time. Maybe we needed more concrete evidence. What if ET arrived on our doorstep? But he was already dead? That's the premise of Alienated, the new Comixology Original written, colored, and lettered by Taki Soma, with art by John Broglia and covers by Michael Avon Oeming. Alienated begins with one of our great mysteries solved, but done so in a horrifying, unsatisfying way. Alien arrival on Earth shakes society's core, spreading panic and existential dread...until people get distracted and move on to the next day's news cycle. There's only one problem: a single Alien survives, and it's on one disconnected family to keep them breathing. We're ecstatic to have creative couple Taki Soma and Michael Avon Oeming on the podcast this week. We discuss how storytelling impacts every element of their relationship, their fascination with UFO mythology, and how Taki Soma's graphic novel memoir Sleeping While Standing impacted her method of creating fiction. The first four Alienated issues are out now, and the fifth issue will arrive on August 5th. Please follow Taki Soma on Blue Sky and Instagram, and follow Michael Avon Oeming on Blue Sky, Instagram, and his Website.

"Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see"For today's episode, we are conducting a conversational watch-along of Paul W.S. Anderson's 1997 chilling cosmic horror EVENT HORIZON."In the year 2047, a group of astronauts are sent to investigate and salvage the long-lost starship Event Horizon. The ship mysteriously disappeared seven years ago on its maiden voyage, and with its return comes even more mystery as the crew of the Lewis and Clark discover the real truth behind its disappearance and something even more terrifying."Joining us in the third chair for this audio commentary is the 3x Eisner-winning comic book creator behind titles like ODY-C, Invisible Kingdom, Black Bolt, Blood-Stained Teeth, Batman: City of Madness, Spectregraph, and the recent Two-Face miniseries and upcoming Event Horizon: Dark Descent: our good buddy Christian Ward!---Thank you Oni Press & Endless Comics, Cards & Games for sponsoring The Oblivion Bar PodcastFollow us on InstagramFollow us on ThreadsFollow us on BlueSkyLike us on FacebookConsider supporting us over on PatreonThank you DreamKid for our Oblivion Bar musicThank you KXD Studios for our Oblivion Bar art

I have been looking forward to getting Patrick Horvath on the show for some time now and no better way to do it than to chat about his new IDW Dark project that builds on his break out success Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees. It's back with the next installment called Rite Of Spring which is a significant departure from the original but fear not, or maybe you should, our beloved murder bear Samantha is back. I think Patrick and I are long lost relatives because it's rare that I get to make a connection with someone on the relative merits of using Diet Coke to remove flesh from bone. We get into that, how he's avoiding the sophmore comics slump, how a decade's passing effects the people of the world, Sam's new nemesis Monica, and much more. This was one of the funnest and funniest, if dark, episodes I've recorded in some time. Patrick's website Patrick's newsletter Byron's shout out: Bakelite by Julie Gautier Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite Of Spring from IDW Dark From the publisher The six-issue return of the Eisner-nominated cozy horror smash hit! It's been eight long years since a bloodlusting brown bear drove into the city, kidnapped a kind young duck, dissected his body, and buried the pieces in the woods. The duck's family painstakingly sought justice... but this brown bear was smart... she covered her tracks... and in the '80s, there simply wasn't a way for the duck's family to find answers. But it's not the '80s anymore. Almost a decade after cuddly brown bear Samantha Strong solidified herself as the sole serial killer in Woodbrook, the world is entering a new era. As Samantha will soon find out, there are no secrets in the age of the internet. And those who lost loved ones to her massacre haven't given up the flame of justice. A reckoning is coming to Woodbrook. Join visionary writer and artist Patrick Horvath for one of the most anticipated comics of 2025. Free For All from Oni Press From the publisher From Eisner Award-nominated writer/artist Patrick Horvath (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees) comes a 56-page, self-contained one-shot that delivers a brutal new vision of capitalism by combat . . . In the future, the World Finance League exists to benefit all, randomly choosing those from among the billionaires and trillionaires of the world and presenting them with a choice: either donate half of their assets to the common good-or defend them in ritual combat. Reigning champion and real estate magnate Ted Brooks has 22 victories under his belt-defending the wealth he schemed and stabbed to get-when he is forced to face his ex-wife, Luella Dominguez, in a fight to the death. Luella has been training, waiting for this moment. But will she have what it takes to defeat the man who would do anything-absolutely anything-to keep his fortune? It's every shareholder for themselves when death and bankruptcy collide in Free for All #1, a giant-sized, one-shot spectacle of commerce and carnage coming this March from Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Patrick Horvath!

We are not slowing down as my Pride Month Feature rolls along with returning show guest Eisner, GLAAD, and Ringo nominated comics writer Steve Orlando hanging out with me to talk about two of his projects dropping with the big two. Last time he was on we were talking about the ongoing Scarlet Witch series which is being continued in a new five issue mini-series The Vision and The Scarlet Witch, recognizing their 50th wedding anniversary which will see the return of White Vision. It's hard to believe their wedding was 50 years ago in Giant Sized Avengers #4. Steve is promising a Lovecraftian slat to the series which I'm personally rather excited about. Recently it was announced that he will also be working on the Magical Mysteries of Shazam on DC Go!, Venom: Original Sin jumps from Marvel Unlimited Online to print, the exciting conclusion of Ripperland who he's co-writing with John Harris Dunning just wrapped up and will be dropping as a trade soon with Dark Horse Comics, and the trade of Avengers Assemble: The Serpent Scenario just hit too. So, Steve is quite the busy guy at the moment. If you want to catch up with him, you can find him on BlueSky or on Instagram.

THE VISION & THE SCARLET WITCH serves as the latest evolution of Orlando's ongoing SCARLET WITCH run, which has successfully redefined the adventures of Wanda Maximoff. Carving out her own path in the Marvel Universe as a solo hero, Scarlet Witch's magic has never been more powerful. But when it comes to helping Vision, she'll need more than strength alone! Befitting their decades-spanning romance, Scarlet Witch and Vision team up for a dramatic saga that will test their souls and break their hearts! The Magical Mysteries of Shazam! From the publisher In The Magical Mysteries of Shazam!  by writer Steve Orlando (Supergirl, Martian Manhunter) and artist Giopota, Billy Batson has had to grow up fast. Life with Tawny, a talking tiger and also Billy's adoptive uncle, is humble. It's not always easy! Billy lives with Tawny's other foster children, Darla, Pedro, and Freddy. Despite all he's been through, Billy is willfully hopeful. In addition to all the struggles a blended foster family faces, Fawcett City isn't exactly the safest place to live. It might be a fantastic, whimsical city full of both humans and talking animals, but it's also got a monster problem—in fact, a Monster Society! Soon Billy is granted the ability to say a magic word and transform into a mighty hero! Fawcett City cheers its new champion—and little do they know, he's one of their own. Or do they? Because Billy's siblings are pretty sure they saw him turn into a full-grown superhero. PATREON We have a new Patreon, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CryptidCreatorCornerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

As anyone knows who's been around the comics industry for a while, sometimes the journey isn't always linear getting a creator owned project off the ground even when it's attached to one of the biggest names in the industry, and I'm personally excited to get to see this one come to full fruition as it's a good one so I've got New York Times Bestselling and Eisner-nominated comic book creator, David Marquez (Uncanny X-Men, Miles Morales) on with me today to talk about his four issue mini-series The UnChosen dropping onto shelves soon from Image Comics. I got a chance to get a sneak peek of The UnChosen and it's a stunning book, and this is one of those opportunities I relish to talk to one of the best artists in the comics game to pick their brain's artistically. We get into the nitty gritty of the artistic process, how the golden child trope plays a key role in the project, the transition from vertical scroll to standard comics formatting, sexy stuff like page economy, and so much more.
