About this episode

The episode discusses the relevance of secret identities in modern comics through a conversation with Thomas Philipson and James Patricks about their work 'The Stranger'.

Has the narrative power of a secret identity been lost in modern comics? What happens when you use it in a whodunnit mystery? We ask these questions and more to Thomas Philipson and James Patricks about their fantastic superhero mystery 'The Stranger'. From the concept of a secret identity, to how that figures into their own book and also an alter-ego quiz, this week is jam packed with great comic chat that somehow contains no spoilers but a whole lot of mystery!
