Listen to this episode from Portrait of an Editor on Spotify. I reconnect with Chuck Austen to discuss his new Comixilogy series EDGEWORLD, full scripts, working with editor Bis Stringer Horne, how Patrick Olliffe approaches acting in his art, and the upside of limitations.

Will Dennis and I discuss various political comics. Also, Will talks about his work on Vertigo's DMZ and Image Comics' UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY and how he navigates editing a series that directly reflects our modern political environment.

We discuss the best way to approach acquisitions, the old rules that govern publishing, burnout, how people can or cannot advance their careers, and her use of Twitter.

Will Dennis and I recorded this episode on Friday, 3/27/20. In the week since then, my pie-in-the-sky attitude has taken a severe beating. However, as we talked, Will does present some compelling ideas for how comics could regroup and help out retailers after we get through this pandemic.
