The Return of Tony Akins!
Download this episode (52 min)
THIS WEEK:
Tony Akins, artist for the Eisner-nominated "Jack of Fables," returns to the studio for another lengthy go-round on "STUN!"
Joining me in the studio to co-host this week is Executive Producer Patrick Brower, industry-respected General Manager of the downtown Chicago location of Graham Crackers Comics.
Akins talks about Jack of Fables, the Zeus-like Bill Willingham, science fiction, inspiration, and his past as a military man. In addition, Patrick brought in a stack of books for me the night we recorded the show because I'd been a couple weeks behind in my reading (weeks 49 & 50, to you "52" enthusiasts). He and I went book by book, making unreasonable and sweeping criticisms of each, while Tony politely bit his lip (and chimed in on occasion to praise the likes of Frank Quitely and Mike Allred).
Akins is a favorite guest of "STUN!" Listen or download now...

Well, "STUN" went on an unfortunate permanent hiatus, despite my best intentions (and the fun I had doing it). My plan is to start collecting the full transcripts into a bound edition at some point down the road. It seems like an insane idea, but it's one I'm really excited about right now.
