Today we sit down with legendary cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez, who was inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame in 2017, to discuss his newest Love and Rockets book, Lovers and Haters. First, we explore the early years of L&R, and how Gilbert and his brothers, Jaime and Mario, created a world unlike any other in comics. We talk about Gilbert's Palomar saga as well as his standalone graphic novels that adapt fictional B-movies in this world. Gilbert then shares why and how he put together Lovers and Haters, a "sleazy" collection of Palomar stories, focusing on 50-year-old cult movie actress Fritz as she battles alcoholism, a controlling lover, a jealous rival, Fritz imitators, a sex cult, and mad scientists. You can find Lovers and Haters, as well as many other Love and Rockets collections and more, at Fantagraphics: fantagraphics.com.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.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITThe morning starts heavy and honest. We confront reports of Hamas carrying out public executions in Gaza mere hours after a high-profile peace plan was signed—an unsettling collision of ceremony and reality. I don't linger on gore, but I refuse to downplay what public violence is designed to do: project control, breed fear, and turn crowds into witnesses. It's a stark reminder that documents can be signed in one room while power is performed in another.From there, the tone shifts to something strangely revealing: New York City's love affair with waiting in line. Hours for bagels, noodles, pancakes—queues that double as status symbols, social rituals, and proof-of-experience on your feed. I gripe about “online” versus “in line,” then admit the upside: people outside together, trading stories and finding meaning in a slow moment in a fast city. The line becomes a stage where scarcity signals quality and patience becomes pride.Finally, we examine a $160 Louis Vuitton lipstick and a $250 eyeshadow palette developed with Pat McGrath. Refillable packaging adds an eco-friendly note, but the price tag raises the real question: what are we buying—formula, craftsmanship, or the story a logo tells? I respect the creativity and still say no to the markup. Your values, your wallet, your call.To wrap, I ask for something joyful and communal: what's your favorite Diane Keaton movie? Annie Hall, Something's Gotta Give, The First Wives Club, a Godfather deep cut—tell me what sticks and why. If this mix of tough news, city culture, and thoughtful consumer talk resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more curious listeners can find us.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

That's right, we're talking about the origins of his and Steve Rude's landmark Nexus series to celebrate the Kickstarter campaign for the Nexus Deluxe Hardcover Omnibus Volume One. Mike opens up about the deluxe reprint collection of the Eisner Award-winning series, which Newsarama has hailed as "the greatest superhero comic of all time." We explore the cosmic avenger Horatio Hellpop's complex moral struggles, the series' unique blend of superhero and science fiction elements set 500 years in the future, and what it means to see this groundbreaking independent comic finally getting the deluxe treatment it deserves! Mike also discusses the challenges and rewards of crowdfunding classic comics, the collaboration with BIG Studios, and why Nexus continues to resonate with readers who appreciate sophisticated storytelling that wrestles with questions of justice, morality, and the weight of cosmic responsibility.You can back the book here: http://kck.st/3HClJMM!

Mark Waid is back with the Bandits for his fourth solo appearance, as we dive into his latest projects and thoughts on the current state of Superman. First we jump into James Gunn's recently released Superman film and get Mark's takes, specifically on the approach to Jor-El and Lara's portrayal and whether the movie successfully captures the optimism that defines the character. The core of the conversation centers around Mark's "dream project," New History of the DC Universe, and the challenges of weaving 90 years of DC continuity into one cohesive timeline. Mark also talks about his current work on Action Comics, where he's diving into Clark Kent's teenage years with artist Skylar Patridge. Finally, we delve into his ongoing Batman/Superman: World's Finest series, revealing his approach to keeping the iconic partnership fresh and what makes this collaboration stand out from previous team-ups. New History of the DC Universe #2 hits stores this Wednesday, July 23. And the Mark Waid adventures continue in Action Comics, World's Finest, Batman & Robin: Year One, Justice League Unlimited, and the upcoming crossover event DC K.O.! (Damn, Mark... it's tiring just typing the names!)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.
