Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar hosted a live performance of ComicLab at the 79th annual National Cartoonists Society Conference and Reuben Awards. Joining them onstage to talk about the business of comics were three marvelous cartoonists:Jason Chatfield, a remarkably talented cartoonist who is as comfortable doing stand-up comedy as he is sitting down to create cartoons for The New Yorker. His new book, “You're Not a Real Dog Owner Until…”, is a danged delight, and belongs on your shelf.Sean Wang, the creator of Runners, a wonderful sci-fi comedy about alien smugglers. Its most recent Kickstarter launched a couple days before the recording of the show, and was funded shortly thereafter — which is 100% a coincidence, but we'll be claiming credit nonetheless.Cassidy Wasserman, whose debut graphic novel, On Guard, was published by Random House earlier this year to rave reviews. She has also illustrated no fewer than three delightful children's books.On the show...What's working — and what's not working — in your comics business?What should you do when subscriptions stagnate?What's the best way to use Patreon without burning out on complex rewards?What is the best use of Print On Demand?How can I use Substack to publish/monetize my comic?Is social media declining? — And if so, how are you compensating?

On today's show we visit the studio of an artist who paints with knives and she's creating pieces for the Valkyries. Then, a publisher celebrating 10 years of translating books by authors overseas, and a woman who expresses her experience as a mom by drawing comics.
In this Fanbase Feature, The Fanbase Weekly co-host Bryant Dillon and special guests Chris Thorne (sketch card artist - Star Wars, The Walking Dead, Alien 3) and Matthew Noe (Lead Collection & Knowledge Management Librarian for Harvard Medical School – Countway Library, board member of the Graphic Medicine International Collection and the American Library Association, Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table) participate in a thorough discussion regarding author Michael Crichton's The Lost World (1995) in light of the novel's 30th anniversary, with topics including the differences between the novel and Spielberg's film adaptation, what - if anything - the book has to say about extinction, Crichton's feelings on the evils of corporate science, and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for The Lost World abound in this panel discussion!)

Alan Robert has built a rare career that bridges two creative worlds. As bassist and songwriter for the long-running band Life of Agony, and as the artist behind acclaimed comics and coloring books, he's carved a path that shows how music and visual art can coexist in one life.Alan Robert's Early Path: From Comic Dreams to Life of AgonyRobert first set out to be a comic book artist. While studying at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, he imagined himself drawing for Marvel or DC. Music came later, almost by accident, when he picked up a guitar in college. By the time he graduated, he faced a choice: join his newly signed band Life of Agony full-time or pursue a career in comics. With Roadrunner Records offering the chance to tour, he chose music, assuming it would be temporary. More than three decades later, the band is still going strong.Returning to Art: Alan Robert's Graphic Novels and ComicsEven as Life of Agony gained momentum, Robert never let go of his love for drawing. On breaks from touring, he began writing and illustrating his own graphic novels, keeping one foot in each creative lane. His artistic side took on new life when he created a series of horror-themed coloring books. The Beauty of Horror series, in particular, struck a chord with fans around the world, blending intricate line work with playful, macabre themes.The Beauty of Horror and Alan Robert's Creative UniverseRobert has continued to expand that universe in unexpected ways. His spoofs of classic album covers, like “Goodbye Camp Crystal Lake,” show the humor and crossover appeal at the core of his work. His original character Ghouliana, has become a fan favorite, inspiring cosplay, collectibles, and even action figures. Meanwhile, his collaborations on officially licensed projects have allowed him to revisit the movie monsters and icons that first sparked his imagination.What's Next for Alan Robert: New Coloring Books and BeyondRobert credits much of his success to seizing opportunities and staying open to new outlets for creativity. From pitching stories to IDW Publishing to signing record deals that trusted his instincts, he's always leaned into what felt right in the moment. His latest project, Ghouliana's Sanctuary for Monsters, blends the format of a coloring book with a storybook narrative, further pushing the boundaries of what his art can be.Whether on stage with Life of Agony or at the drawing table, Alan Robert continues to find ways to keep both of his passions alive. His career is proof that you don't have to choose between music and art — with persistence, you can make room for both.

Welcome to the first edition of "The Hunt" by Collected Possibilities. One of my great passions is collecting discount Graphic Novels; traveling and searching stores all over the country to find the best deals, rare finds, and new places to collect at. The Hunt is a new feature, a hobby travelog reporting back on my collecting adventures. I'll tell you what I found, where I found them, what I chose to buy (and not to buy), and any stories from the road. Today we're in Annapolis, MD at Third Eye Comics and Games, specifically hunting for Omnibi & Marvel Epic Collections at the Third Eye Throwdown 2025 Happy Hunting! WHAT IS THE SLICE? "The Slice" is a new single serving storytelling format where each episode is a new anecdote, and life itself is the adventure. Hosted by Jason Howard Heat, new episodes drop every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Subscribe and stick around if you love a good story.
