This is the first two-parter of 2019 and it's packed with a whole bunch of info for you.

I should part two posted next week.

In today's conversation with Greg Tumbarello, we talk about his approach to editing covers, his origin story, his mentors Ralph Macchio and Bob Schreck, and the persistence he maintained to create a career in the comics industry.

Also, once again, you get to hear my take on the ending of John Carpenter's The Thing.

Bob Schreck is no longer at Legendary Comics

  What ever happened to Legendary Comics?

Despite the parking hassles, we managed to have a good time and you can too if you take time to consider a few things. Hopefully these glitches will be fixed for this show,…
