In this episode of "Wealth, Actually", we get to dive into the comic-book industry with Gevian Dargan. Gevian is about to launch his comic imprint, Animated Concepts, which is focusing on getting some of the great comic stories from people of color that are out there, but not getting the attention they deserve. The industry itself is going through significant upheaval as the economics of developing IP come under considerable question and distribution systems face significant challenges with digital competitors and a new view of what makes a cool (and monetizable) story. Gevian and I tackle this subject as well as the magic of growing up with the excitement of going to your "local", discovering characters and forming tastes. It's this formative development that we wonder aloud that might be missing and may make it difficult to develop the next Marvel, DC, Harry Potter or other franchise. Here's Gevian on the "Thinking Critical" podcast talking about reaching new black comic readers. (This is a terrific interview BTW) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGQw9Z7qOO0 Here's the outline of our fun conversation (we recorded for over an hour, spoke for two and probably could have gone on all day): Quick introduction- what are you're doing now and dramatic foreshadowing of your Animated Concepts project-Where did the love of comics come from? Talk about the relationship with the Comic Book ShopWhere you used to buy comics and where you buy them now?

We end the show with a pullbox, where we recommend three books for our audience:   Tom: Doom W: Cantwell, A: Larocca Strange Academy W: Skottie Young, A: Humberto Ramos Marty: A Handmaid Tale W: Atwood, Adapted by: Nault, A: Nault Tim: Spider-verse W: McKay A:Sheldon Vella, Juan Frigeri, Arthur Adams, James Harren

Host Anthony Desiato concludes his trip to the Windy City with a stop at First Aid Comics in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. Anthony makes an appointment with owner James Nurss, the lab coat-wearing retailer who "prescribes" comics to his customers. They discuss vending at NYCC, how President Obama helped the store get off the ground in 2008, and why it's important to bag your trades. This episode is Part 2 of a two-episode visit to the Windy City.

What better day than New Comic Book Day than to talk to a comic shop manager? Sam was great, and First Aid Comics is a wonderful store.
