| 4/11/26 |  INTERVIEW: Dave Baker Loves To Fight The Impossible | Justin here! I've been a fan of Artist/Writer/Filmmaker Dave Baker since I stumbled on his and Nicole Goux's booth at the Toronto Comics Arts Festival, so it was my pleasure to talk to Dave about his and Nicole's new book, PUNK'N HEADS, a comic about the struggle of creativity, the hell of living in LA, and the joy of wearing giant pumpkin heads while rocking out with someone you just might love. Even if you're not interested in comics... YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE! We talk about the official rules for writing Godzilla comics (which Dave has done!), what makes a comic "cinematic", and the quixotic journey of trying to write and draw the Finnegan's Wake of comics - which Dave did with MARY TYLER MOOREHAWK. Check out more info on PUNK'N HEADS here: https://www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog/punkn-heads/1146 MARY TYLER MOOREHAWK:https://www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog/mary-tyler-moorehawk/1105 HALLOWEEN BOY: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Halloween-Boy-Vol-1/Dave-Baker/9798894880747 FOLLOW DAVE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/xdavebakerx/ | — | ||||||
