Content warning: Sexual assault It's finally happened! After 10 years and more than 250 episodes, we finally get around to discussing the elephant (or, rather, the aardvark) in the room: Dave Sim's 300-issue magnum opus, Cerebus! And to help us grapple with the weight of one of the longest-running, most creative and most controversial comics in the history of the medium, we're joined by longtime friend of the show Bryan Stratton of Marvel by the Month! Self-published by Sim's Aardvark-Vanaheim, Cerebus paved the way for many other independent comics creators to self-publish their work. And its ambitious, experimental approach to comics storytelling expanded the artistic possibilities of the medium, as it grew from a parody of swords-and-sorcery comics into a complex, sprawling saga that would take on politics, religion, and other weighty issues.  But while there's a lot to recommend Cerebus, there's also a lot to give potential new readers pause—namely, Sim's contentious, divisive views on women, which ultimately begin to exert greater and greater influence over the series itself. As the Will Eisner Comic Awards prepare to induct Sim (among other creators, including Gerry Conway and Rick Veitch) into its Hall of Fame at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, we take the opportunity to dive into this massive work, touching on topics including: What exactly IS Cerebus? Our personal histories with Cerebus The detailed background artwork of Gerhard The "Walking on the Moon" arc and the Cerebus creation myth Would we recommend that you read Cerebus? We also share suggestions for other long-running, impactful series (in comics and otherwise) you might enjoy. For further reading on the subject of Cerebus, we recommend: Tom Ewing's great and insightful blog Aard Labour Curt's 2004 Slate article on the endings of Cerebus and Bone The Onion A.V. Club's notorious 2004 interview with Dave Sim  Join us in two weeks as we return to our regular format with a look at Sex Criminals Vol. 1: One Weird Trick, by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky!

"Gotta watch that driving ambition, Alden. It can lead to burn out." Driving ambition also applies to Rick Veitch in the latest episode where his experiments in layout and storytelling reaches a new level. Matt Gamble joins Robert Reineke in discussing the amazing issue #72 of Swamp Thing, written and drawn by Rick Veitch and entitled "Gargles in the Rat Race Choir." You might never look at a comic page the same way again.

"I remember learning in college how meaningful events might be linked in some mysterious way. They called the phenomenon synchronicity." Swamp Thing and Constantine are still trying to create the next earth elemental, but find themselves in a minefield of coincidences. Rob Veatch joins Robert Reineke in getting to the bottom of issue #71 of Swamp Thing, written and drawn by Rick Veitch and entitled "Fear of Flying."

This week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we interview cartoonist Stephanie Stalvey, diving deep into her graphic memoir Everything in Color. In the conversation, Stalvey opens up about growing up in an evangelical household, unpacking purity culture, and how motherhood reshaped her understanding of faith and identity. It's an honest, vulnerable discussion about turning lived experience into art, and why telling these stories can resonate far beyond one person's life.

Dave: Feral #22 (Tony Fleecs & Trish Forstner Weapons Homage Cover) Alex: Wiccan: Witches' Road #5 (Karen S. Darboe variant) Interview: Stephanie Stalvey, EVERYTHING IN COLOR out 04/28/2026 Your book explores growing up in an evangelical community where love and obedience were deeply intertwined. When you look back now, how do you understand that relationship differently? One of the most striking ideas in the book is the notion that “our bodies belong to the authority figure.” How did unpacking that belief shape the emotional core of this memoir? Everything in Color is deeply personal, especially in how it portrays your relationship with your husband and your child. What was it like sharing drafts with your husband as you were creating the book? Your journey raises big questions about faith, doubt, and identity. Did you find yourself arriving at answers while making the book, or is it more about learning to live with the questions? The book touches on major shared moments like 9/11 and the COVID lockdown. How did anchoring your personal story to these larger events help shape the narrative? There's a powerful shift in the book where love, especially through motherhood, reframes everything as sacred. When did that realization first begin to take hold for you? This is a massive and ambitious work. Was it always envisioned at this scale, and how long did it take you to bring it to life? The title Everything in Color feels like a mission statement for the book. At what point did you know that was the right way to describe this journey? The artwork blends intimacy with emotional weight throughout. How did you approach pairing your visual storytelling with such vulnerable subject matter?

"Don't worry, mate. Johnny's on the job." After escaping a trap set by the Parliament of Trees Swamp Thing reunites with Abby in an issue that can only be described as metaphorically graphic. But, John Constantine is on the job to get things moving in the right direction as he trades favors for information. Rob Veatch joins Robert Reineke in trying to untangle issue #70 of Swamp Thing, written by Rick Veitch, drawn by Rick Veitch and Bret Ewins, and entitled "The Secret Life of Plants." And our lead plant based elemental has at least one secret he's keeping from Constantine himself.

"The renegade felt the name for his own essential truth slip out on the tides of his aura. 'Duality' he said. But he did not understand." A new wild Swamp Thing is born and a trap is sprung by the Parliament of Trees ensnaring Swamp Thing's mind. Rob Veatch joins Robert Reineke in trying to untangle issue #69 of Swamp Thing, written and drawn by Rick Veitch and entitled "Wild Thing." And things are getting wild indeed in Rick Veitch's run.

"It's like my old mentor, the General, used to say: 'Business can be crueler than love or war.  To that I might add 'All's fair."" Rob Veatch returns to discuss Swamp Thing #68 entitled "Reflections in a Golden Eye" in which Rick Veitch attempts and pulls off a complicated formal exercise consisting of four different threads, each of which are presented in different styles. It's a grand experiment in what can be done with the form.

"Sounds great, Piggy! But you're wrong about one thing. These paparazzi photos? I happen to know they were faked. See, Wonder Girl has this delicate little beauty mark... It's almost in the same spot as Diane's was..." Swamp Thing #66 by Rick Veitch entitled "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" has a little bit of everything. Including heaven, hell, John Constantine, Hellblazer, Arkham Asylum and its inmates, a brand new director of Arkham, and of course Abby and Alec. Both of them. This is Rick Veitch's run really taking off and showing both his metaphysical side and his satirical side. Rob Veatch guests on this episode to help break it down.

A HQ chega pelo selo Black Label como Swamp Thing 1989, completando o arco original com visual e clima da época.Além disso, tivemos anúncio da nova HQ do Cavaleiro da Lua, o retorno de Thundarr, o Bárbaro pela Dynamite, mais um crossover insano de Godzilla vs Marvel, o cancelamento da mensal do Carnificina e a promessa de novas séries da Vertigo.Foi uma Comic Con cheia de nostalgia, encerramentos e resgates — do fim de um universo ao renascimento de outro.Nos apoie no Catarse:https://www.catarse.me/FalaAnimalFaça suas compras na Amazon através do nosso link: https://amzn.to/3FmLUCYQuer saber de todas as promoções ?

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, we're rounding home-plate and reading the second half of my friend and colleague Eric Millar's work, The Four Color Grimoire! And this has everything to do with the legendary and still somewhat-unsung legacy of Jack Kirby - the King of Comics! But overall, it has the most to do with the art of nerd-fandom world-building itself, and the catharsis that can come from both creating and enjoying these things.(For those unfamiliar, Stan Lee hardly created any of the heroes he is known for, and rode off the coat-tails of Kirby in the creation of superheroes like the Avengers, the X-Men, and most of their respective casts. And when Lee wasn't riding on Kirby's coat-tails, he hitched onto people like Steve Ditko in the creation of Spider-Man.)If you haven't listened to the last episode, I encourage you to do so, although it's not entirely necessary. In the first half of the work, we discussed the archetypal, allegorical value in modern nerd fandoms by looking at OG comic book culture and art.In this episode, we talk all that context and dive into the legacies of some of the most inventive and esoteric creators in comic books! While a solid two-thirds or so focuses on the great Jack Kirby, we also take the time to look into the titanic art and careers of both Steve Ditko and Rick Veitch. Don't sleep on these fascinating artists, or on Eric's Four Color Grimoire!RELATED CONTENT:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DIVE MANUAL AUDIOBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (narrated by Joe Rupe)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HUNT MANUAL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BHA LINKTREE w books, shorts, and much more⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠purchase Four Color Grimoire⁠⁠WE THE HALLOWED⁠ MEDIABHA episodes with Eric Millar:Four Color Grimoire pt 1⁠Existential Fury⁠⁠Garbage Wizardry⁠⁠OG Comics and mysticism pt 1⁠⁠OG Comics and mysticism pt 2 (with Martin Ferretti)⁠This week's featured music, as always, is brought to you by some of the most titanic beatmakers and wordsmiths of the underground!

Pues aquí está ya nuestro Moore de la temporada en este monográfico que va a tratar de abarcar una obra que desgraciadamente tal vez es más conocida por su accidentadísima andadura editorial y legal, que por su contenido. En 1982 y rescatando al viejo Marvelman británico, aparecía en las páginas de la revista Warrior, de la mano de un joven Alan Moore y Garry Leach el primer capítulo de esta historia que, tal vez por su errática publicación es menos conocida que otras obras como Watchmen o V de Vendetta, pero que para nada les va a la zaga y con las que tiene muchas cosas en común. Llegarían después otros dibujantes como Alan Davis, John Ridgway, Chuck Austen, Rick Veitch o John Totleben y la serie pasaría del Reino Unido a los USA en un caótico maremagnum de derechos que ha tardado décadas en solucionarse. Repasaremos punto por punto todo este asunto, pero tan solo como preliminar de contexto para una obra que por sí sola tiene muchísimo más que contar y de la que tal vez se ha hablado menos de lo que merece. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad. El aparato de aire acondicionado es un pedazo de chatarra que no podría enfriar ni una bebida aunque la metieras dentro. Parece el sitio perfecto para escuchar el podcast 378 de ELHDLT Selección musical: 🎶 Miracle Man, de Ozzy Osbourne 🎶 Zarathustra, de Bomber 🎶 Marvel Man, de Jibri McLean

Em 1984, um então promissor autor britânico assumiu os roteiros de uma revista de segundo escalão da DC Comics e mudou os rumos do mercado norte-americano de quadrinhos. Alan Moore provocou uma reformulação com o Monstro do Pântano, ao lado de desenhistas como Steve Bissette, John Totleben e Rick Veitch.

Diabolu Frank, Illegal Machine, and Mr. Fixit go back to the Dark Age of deconstructionist super-heroics under the pen of Roarin' Rick Veitch, specifically his incendiary work Bratpack from 1990, with a side of 1992's The Maximortal, both published by Tundra (& Kitchen Sink Press.) Then Frank has a solo rant at the end where he summarizes 1985's Epic series The One (which almost certainly influenced Watchmen), before tearing into Don Simpson's 1990 Bizarre Heroes one shot & 2023's X-Amount of Comics: 1963 (WhenElse?!)

Your heroes return to the world of Miracleman to discuss the second collection Miracleman: The Red King Syndrome!  This spoiler-fille convo dives deeper into the iconic Miracleman run and goes through Alan Moore's creator bibliography.  "Michael Moran has rediscovered the power of Miracleman, but unbeknownst to him, Dr. Emil Gargunza, the man behind Project Zarathustra, has set in motion plans decades in the making. In The Red King Syndrome, Gargunza's intentions for Miracleman's wife and unborn child set the stage for a confrontati on between creator and creation. The origins of Gargunza and Zarathustra will be revealed, and life and death will be decided deep in the jungles of Paraguay."Miracleman: A Dream of Flying is written by Alan Moore and drawn by Alan Davis, Chuck Austen, John Ridgway, and Rick Veitch.

For mature readers. Michael Moran speaks the magic works Kimota! and turns into the most powerful superhero the world has ever known, Miracleman. Where did he come from and what are his intentions? After a 18 year hiatus from a world altering a event Miracleman returns to save the day once again, but the world isn't same as it used to be. We review the Miracleman Omnibus that collects A Dream of Flying, The Red King Syndrome and Olympus as well as other various related stories and extras. In 1982 this 3 party story was written by the uncredited writer of Alan Moore along with art by Gary Leach, Alan Davis, John Totlebean, Rick Veitch, Chucky Austen, and John Ridgeway. Miracleman would truly pioneer the way for super hero reconstruction as well as the impactful behind the scenes history of this underrated comic book story that continues to show the brilliance of Alan Moore.

The latest episode of The Queens Comic Podcast is now live! In this latest episode, Billy and Ian remember the late, great Al Jaffee before diving into Heather Benjamin's bizarre and beautifully obscene Exorcise art book. From there, it's a look at issue #3 of Last Gasp's notorious Cocaine Comix (featuring work from Leonardo DiCaprio's pops!), Will Eisner's The Spirit, EC Comics that we can't afford and then have a spirited discussion about Ditko's Mr. A & The Maker. The second half of the show discusses DC's Waller Versus Wildstorm book, Avatar's not very good Friday The 13th comics, Jack Kirby's wonderfully wacky Days Of The Mob, a neat vintage Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars Sticker Book, Rick Veitch's excellent Brat Pack #1, the Heavy Metal release of Alien The Illustrated Story by Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson and, last but not least, Billy's favorite Superman series, All Star Superman. It's almost a whole hour of erratic comic talk that took a really long time to edit and it won't cost you a dime!

Miracleman by Alan Moore and his artistic collaborators (Garry Leach, Alan Davis, Chuck Austen, John Ridgway, Rick Veitch, and John Totleben) is one of the all-time greatest superhero comics ever. For a long time, it wasn't an easy book to find at reasonable prices, but now that it's widely available again, we are truly living in a blessed age. It's another extremely influential classic by one of the absolute greatest writers of our medium, so we had to discuss it. Thanks again to Corey J. Beats for producing our theme music.
