Scotto is a Seattle-based, multi-media raconteur who, for fourteen years, has been a cornerstone of the Seattle Fringe Theatre community. During his fourteen years as an active playwright, we saw major productions of his work nearly every year, including at least 45 short plays penned for events like 14/48: THE WORLD’S QUICKEST THEATRE FESTIVAL.

Frank Gogol
Today on the show, Cole and Ben welcome Frank Gogol. Frank is a San Francisco-based writer of Grief (Ringo Award nominee), Dead End Kids (Best New Series, The Independent Creator Awards), and No Heroine, all from Source Point Press.

The child of addicts, Frank’s a humble dude whose comics greatly reflect the world around him as he grew up. He spent much of his youth moving from place to place, with occasional stints in foster care and group homes as he dealt with his very complicated relationship with his mother. His first anthology collection, Grief contains short stories of addiction, betrayal and abandonment. Dead End Kids tells the tale of a group of Stephen King-esque outcasts as they try to solve the mysterious murder of one of their own, and No Heroine is about a woman trying desperately to stay clean – all the while doing her best to mend her relationship with her mother, find her place in this world, and kill as many vampires as she can. Volume 2 of Dead End Kids will be in stores in January, 2021.

Join us as we talk to Frank about:

• How he got involved with Source Point Press
• What inspired Dead End Kids
• Working with artists such as Ben Templesmith
• How he dealt with the success of Dead End Kids
• How he feels about conventions
• Volume 2 of Dead End Kids: The Suburban Job
• How 9/11 influenced him
• His influences for No Heroine
• What he’s learned through all of his artistic collaborations
• His ideas for licensed characters
• His newsletter

We understand that everybody is having a hard time these days, but if you have anything to give, the employees of the Dungeon and Corner would certainly appreciate it.

Today on the show, the gang welcome illustrator and graphic designer Jeff Carpenter. He currently works in-house at Wizards of the Coast, where he contributes to Magic: The Gathering, the Transformers TCG, and Dungeons & Dragons. He previously led a team of designers at The 5th Avenue Theatre and freelanced with non-profit clients across the country. He’s just released his first book, FIELD NOTES: An Ecological Journal of Nature’s Marvels which has our entire panel smitten.

FIELD NOTES: An Ecological Journal of Nature’s Marvels re-imagines comic-book characters in their natural settings in the style of a field guide or nature diary. Including over 100 oil, watercolor, and digital paintings along with pencil sketches, dozens of characters are spread out over 90+ full-color pages. The book is comprehensive and celebrates real aspects of nature while referencing the lore that inspired each entry. So, from the flora and fauna of Gotham City, or the spider species of New York, to the grasslands of Wakanda, this book will be a visual guide for all the creatures you might encounter. Each 9×12 hardcover book features a foil-stamped title on the cover and spine and is individually numbered and signed by the artist. This limited edition of 500 art books was printed and bound in the Pacific Northwest.

Listen in as Jeff tells us about:
• Getting his foot in the door at the 5th
• What he does at Wizards of the Coast
• His experience with Kickstarter
• Having a table at ECCC
• His inspiration for Field Notes
• What he has in store for the future

Jeff will be in store at Comics Dungeon on Wednesday, November 20th from 4-7pm signing copies of his book and selling prints of the artwork. Visit Comics Dungeon’s Facebook page for more information.

And be sure to check out more of Jeff’s work and buy his book at jeffcarpenter.net

Today on a special extended Threefer edition, the gang start off talking about Joker’s debut at the Venice Film Festival, where the director says it’s an Oscar contender. Audiences are polarized by the film, but so far the Venice Film Fest director might have a point.

And then the Stumble Bound gang stumble to the table once again and talk about toys, and the growing wealth gap of toy collectors. Want to add Unicron to your collection, well too bad unless you have almost $600 to throw down.

Then we return to our regularly scheduled program for Book Report and Quiz Time.

We start today’s show talking about the fact that tickets for The Panel Jumper **LIVE** Chapter VIII are now live, so go buy your tickets today so Ben and Cole can sleep at night.

Then we talk about House of X and Powers of X. Specifically:
• Why is Marvel rebooting X-Men?
• How well is it selling?
• Is it a true reboot?
• What is Krakoa’s role?
• Do you need to know everything about the X-Men to enjoy it?
…and much more, More, MORE!

Then we transition to a discussion about a weird speculator boom that’s happening right now. Both Comics Dungeon and Corner Comics (and, we’re sure, other stores in the area) are having to deal with early-morning speculators cleaning out the shelf copies of certain comics. This is an issue because Chris and Nicole can’t know which comics the speculators will target when ordering, and so regular customers who can’t visit their local comic shop at 11am on a Wednesday are out of luck if they want to buy that comic. What are the speculators up to? Is this leading to another 90s-era comic bubble? Are the big publishers just being jerks to retail stores? Is it all Bleeding Cool News’s fault? What’s going on here? If you have a theory, let us know at perfectboundpodcast@gmail.com.

Perfect Bound Podcast – Episode 185

The Panel Jumper & Comics Dungeon — Mon, 27 Aug 2018 15:00:06 -0400

After a brief discussion of the semantics of the word “suburb,” the gang find their focus and talk about DC canceling the deluxe reprint of Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil over content concerns. This 24-issue Golden Age collection contains racist caricatures and dialogue, which prompts our panel to discuss whether or not DC made the right call in pulling the plug on reprinting this unfortunate part of their history.

No conclusion is reached (spoiler!), but a healthy discussion is had. Afterward, the gang talk about Vulture’s 8 Best Comics to Read This August, and offer up titles that might have been missed.
