Queens Comic Podcast – Episode 12
In this latest episode, Billy and Ian remember the late, great Al Jaffee before diving into Heather Benjamin’s bizarre and beautifully obscene Exorcise art book. From there, it’s a look at issue #3 of Last Gasp’s notorious Cocaine Comix (featuring work from Leonardo DiCaprio’s pops!), Will Eisner’s The Spirit, EC Comics that we can’t afford and then have a spirited discussion about Ditko’s Mr. A & The Maker. The second half of the show discusses DC’s Waller Versus Wildstorm book, Avatar’s not very good Friday The 13th comics, Jack Kirby’s wonderfully wacky Days Of The Mob, a neat vintage Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars Sticker Book, Rick Veitch’s excellent Brat Pack #1, the Heavy Metal release of Alien The Illustrated Story by Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson and, last but not least, Billy’s favorite Superman series, All Star Superman. It’s almost a whole hour of erratic comic talk that took a really long time to edit and it won’t cost you a dime! We ain’t trying to sell you anything – so give it a listen, you’ve got nothing to lose!

Queens Comic Podcast – Episode Ten – The Jack Kirby Episode!
Ian and Billy are reunited in the latest episode where we run down how much fun the last Brooklyn Invasion Queens Comic Party show was before then doing a deep dive on the Twomorrows hardcover collection of Jack Kirby’s Dingbat Love before then going over Kirby’s career and what makes his work on titles like Captain America, The Fantastic Four, The New Gods and others so important. Plus, we argue about if OMAC sucks or not and if Billy should become a ‘ska guy,’ while Ian gives an old man rant about movie theaters. But before it’s all over, we bring it back to the importance of Kirby’s work and of the legacy he has left us all. Follow us on Instagram @queenscomicpodcast
Queens Comic Podcast – Episode Nine – An Interview With Scott Ruhl
The latest episode of The Queens Comic Podcast is now live! With Billy indisposed, Ian takes the opportunity to conduct our first ever interview with indie comics creator Scott Ruhl about his new self published book, Futurelux! It’s a strangely philosophical talk about art, process, creativity, influences, the need to do something different and life! There is, unfortunate, a quick audio glitch just past the 13 minute mark thanks to Zoom but luckily it only lasts about three seconds.
