On the last episode, episode 56, we learned a bit about Arlen Schumer, comic book historian, author, illustrator and graphic designer from my interview with him that was recorded at Palm Springs Comic-Con 2017.
On this episode, recorded at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, we learn more about his three pop culture "children,"
Bruce Springsteen, The Twilight Zone and the Silver Age of Comic Books.
We also talk about his argument of the racism concerning Black Panther's mask, auter theory of comics as it pertains to Jack Kirby and other artists like Steve Ditko who should have their rightful creative credit attributed to them, self sacrifice and what it is to be a man.
This is one powerful and moving podcast as Arlen got real and vulnerable with me just like his idol, Bruce Springsteen was with him...and I love him for it. Enjoy! ~Aaron
