In this week's episode of Off Panel, colorist Rico Renzi (Spider-Gwen, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl) joins the show to talk his work. Renzi discusses his time in a ska band, how that world influenced his art, what led him to coloring comics, how his take on colors developed, his time as the creative director at Heroes Aren't Hard to Find and HeroesCon, the art of arranging people at cons, how his shop experience changed his understanding of comics, going full time as a colorist, his approach to colors, the importance of Spider-Gwen, working with Robbi Rodriguez, workload, his t-shirt design side hustle, and more.
Since the day we met Jim Rugg at Heroes Aren't Hard to Find as part of the Afrodesiac tour, he has been a favorite of the Dollar Bin. It is funny to realize that over the last 8 or so years, this is the first Dollar Bin vs Jim Rugg interview. Sure, he has made appearances and has been reviewed and talked about in detail, but this is our first in-depth interview with him. Let's see if we can figure out what makes Jim Rugg tick. (I'm disappointed that we didn't get into his "On a Run" diary comics).
Welcome to Marketing Monster Mashup, the official podcast of Leading Results! Join host Matt Starnes for episode twelve to hear Shelton Drum, owner and founder of the 2nd longest running comic book show in the country, Heroes Con 2017 and Heroes Aren't Hard to Find comics based in Charlotte, NC. Matt and Shelton have a conversation about list building before the internet, the value of non-digital marketing, and moving stores. You have to listen to Shelton's story of how he went from an art major to visiting Stan Lee in NYC without an appointment and how that trip lead to the creation of Heroes Con. Also, Shelton shares what he was thinking right after 9-11 and the decision he had to make about the future of his business. We hope you enjoy Shelton's insights into starting a business at a flea market and growing it into a store and a convention celebrating its 35th year! More information about Heroes Con here.

Here comes another installment of our Year 10 - Interview series. She first entered the scene as the "Lovely Shawn Reynolds" but before you could flip the page she became Mrs. Shawn Daughhetee. Adam interviews his favorite wife about her career in comics and the important role the Dollar Bin played in shaping her life. Shawn opens up and tells rarely heard personal stories about her inspiration in Rachelle Goguen, her relationship with her father, and her early days at Heroes Aren't Hard to Find.
These are the interviews from the Heroes Con 2016 floor. Over 1 full hour of great floor interviews, from the crew at Legends of the Panel Podcast. We interview the likes of: Robbi Rodriguez, Andy Smith, Todd Dezago, Naomi Romero, Ominous Press, AC Medina, and many more for future episodes. Please like, share, rate, and spread the word about the show and interviews. We absolutely had a blast this year at Heroes Con, run by Heroes Aren't Hard to Find.

Shelton Drum is a first-generation outlier in the world of comics retail and convention organizing with his Charlotte NC store, Heroes Aren't Hard To Find, celebrating 30+ years in existence and Heroes Con growing stronger over a similar span of time. The TMSIDK gang traveled to Heroes Con 2013 to record the show live and the conversation spans the history of comics from the mid-60s forward through the eyes of a store owner who's seen it all.
