CBR: Talking with G. Willow Wilson on “Air.”

I talked with G. Willow Wilson, author of the fantastic Cairo graphic novel.  It was especially fascinating to talk with someone with a somewhat similar background to me.  She went to college not for journalism, but ended up becoming a journalist.   She converted to Islam and lived in Cairo, Egypt for five years writing [...]

CBR: I talk with Tom Peyer about Stephen Colbert’s Tek Jansen

Debuted on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report,” Tek Jansen is the star of a self-published science fiction novel authored by host Stephen Colbert and titled “Alpha Squad 7: Lady Nocturne: A Tek Jansen Adventure.” Created in humorous response to rival commentator Bill O’Reilly’s dubious novel “Those Who Trespass,” Colbert claimed his “Tek Jansen” book was [...]

Yet another connection that comes through that drink-up from just after Thanksgiving.
With Comics Experience winding down until after the New York Comic-Con, Schmidt has plenty of time to write, read comics and spend time with his son, Cale. “I’ve found that he [Cale] likes to eat [comics],” Schmidt laughed. “He took a nice bite out [...]

Most recently, un-announced to me, while I was walking the streets of Manhattan a Nicaraguan cigar between my teeth, a great beam of light pulled me off my feet and into the stratosphere.
I was presented in front of the Power Pack, and forced to interview them. Below is a brief transcript of my ordeal.
