Comic Book Talk Radio

Paige sits down for an in-depth chat about how illustrating for newspapers helped in the developmment of her later works, the origin of her online strip Jane's World and how her characters relate to one another. We then talk about Paige's work as Creative Director for Charles M Schulz Creative Associates...how she got the job, what it's like to shepherd the legacy of the Peanuts characters and a sneak peek at an upcoming digital project! Still not enough? How about a look into The Martian Confederacy book and how a creator multitasks between working on an ongoing online strip, a day job with some of the most recognized characters in the world and a collaborative project set in the year 3535.

Maggie, senior editor of Comics Buyer's Guide, stops by to share some of the history of horror comics, what distinguished EC Comics in that field and what made EC a target of congressional hearings about comics. Maggie also recommends Halloween comics for trick or treaters and one of the scariest comics she ever read featuring...Donald Duck!
