Norton and Roberts book The Rock Gods Of Jackson Tennesee from Dark Horse combines am autobiographical look at high school garage bands and those hilarious cheesy horror action films that we all grew upon.
Mike is back to talk about bring his web comic Battle Pug to Image Comics as a monthly in September. Plus Grumble with Rafer Roberts, his thoughts on the creator owned Market and why he stopped his political comic strip Lil Donnie
This week, we’re chatting with Rafer Roberts, who’s writing “Grumble,” which follows a double-crossing wiseass warlock who transforms himself into a pug, and his half-demon daughter, as they hit the road to escape all sorts of mobsters, interdimensional enforcers and the Jersey-est Jersey Devil that ever was. We also check in with Roberts' "Modern Fantasy" partner, artist Kristen Gudsnuk, at Camden Comic Con.
In this episode I talk to writer/artist, Rafer Roberts, the creator of Plastic Farm and Nightmare the Rat, and writer of the comic books Modern Fantasy and Grumble. We discussed his process, and approach to working while holding down a day job, and his early work at High School and College.

Almost 10 years ago, guitarist Josh Schwartz and drummer Chris Haren formed the Washington D.C. area based metal band A Sound Of Thunder. Nina Osegueda soon followed as the bands powerful vocalist. After few change in the bass position, Jesse Keen completed the current line up, bringing his talent on the keyboards as well. The recording and pressing of their albums were funded through successful Kickstarter campaigns, each more financially successful than the last. The band has a strong connection with comics, having produced soundtracks for two Valiant comic books, Tales From the Deadside featuring Shadowman and Doctor Mirage: Second Lives. This year A Sound of Thunder released It Was Metal, a comic anthology with stories based on the tracks on the album of the same name. The book contains the songs lyrics and 10 stories to accompany each track. In addition to band members Josh Schwartz and Nina Osegueda receiving story credits, other contributors include Shadowman artists Bob Hall and Roberto de la Torre, Rafer Roberts, Ben Templesmith, Barry Kitson and Mostafa Moussa. Josh and Chris join me to talk about the formation of the band and touring in Catalonia, Spain and their cover version of the regions national anthem, Els Segadors that they performed at the Barcelona Olympics opening ceremony. How do Josh and Chris define heavy metal music? What sub-genera of hard rock and heavy metal influence their sound? What is in the works for their 10th anniversary as a band, and will we see another comic from them? Josh and Chris also take a crack at the fun questions I ask all my guests. To close out the show, I take a few moments to remember one of the greatest writers and personalities in comicdom, Stan Lee.

A video of this interview is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hytHqrOENvw&t=0s&list=PL_pXBtCqjKy9DJ7UWxUI0GI_JGcX1exh5. Rafer Roberts has been working since 1999 on Plastic Farm (http://plasticfarm.com), which peaks into the mind of a man on the road to complete insanity.??Rafer has had comic pages in a few galleries, which is a triumph for all comic artists as it rightfully elevates the medium to level of other types of artwork such as paintings and illustrations. He is the organizer of the DC Conspiracy (http://dcconspiracy.com), which is a community open to all comic enthusiasts and creators in the Washington DC area.??This independent comics interview was conducted by Joseph Coco on behalf of Becca Hillburn's art process blog Keep on Truckin', Nattosoup (http://nattosoup.blogspot.com).
