Tom Mandrake and I talk about learning from Joe Kubert, his stint at Marvel in 1984 which began with no less than the first spin-off of the company-hot Mutant line, what goes into focusing on one good series at a time, and his Civil War horror graphic novel with John Ostrander, Kros: Hallowed Ground. A longtime mainstream comics freelancer, Tom is now teaching and researching to realize his dream to be a writer. (Part 1) So, Presenting, artist Tom (Spectre, The Kents, Firestorm) Mandrake! His work includes a 2003-4 stint with Marvel and independent work like Grimjack for First Comics. Podcast can be heard here https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-yg7w5-8de7bd or downloaded! HOld up!
