Study Group Comics<\/strong> has a podcast<\/a>! Join hosts Zack Soto<\/a> (Secret Voice, Power Button) & Mike Dawson<\/a> (Rules For Dating My Daughter, Troop 142) as they discuss their own creative processes, comic art, family life, and a ton of other stuff.
\nEach episode finds a new guest from the world of comics joining Mike & Zack for an in depth conversation, and occasional guest segments from their pals around the world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This week\u2019s guest: Derf!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Derf <\/a>\u00a0joins us to talk about his career – from his syndicated strip The City<\/a>, which started in the heyday of the alternative weekly newspaper and ran for an incredible 24 years, to finding a new creative lease on life as a graphic novelist.<\/p>\n

Derf gives an impromptu con report about\u00a0his experience at the new convention\u00a0CXC<\/a> in Columbus, OH just a week earlier. We of course talk about his books\u00a0Punk Rock & Trailer Parks<\/a>, \u00a0the best-selling My Friend Dahmer<\/a>, his most recent release\u00a0Trashed<\/a>, and the\u00a0currently running webcomic The Baron of Prospect Avenue<\/a>. Have no fear, we also asked him some questions about the Dahmer movie<\/a>, just to be basic and annoy everyone.<\/p>\n

At the top of the show, Mike & Zack discuss literary agents in the world of comics publishing. Are they necessary? Do they help? Should we get some? The discussion is just beginning, and we’ll likely come back to the topic in a future episode.<\/p>\n

Then, Shanna Matuzak<\/a> joins Zack to talk about recent comics releases Love & Rockets #1<\/a> by Gilbert & Jaime Hernandez ; Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye<\/a> by Jonathan Rivera, Gerard Way, Michael Avon Oeming & Tom Scioli; and Ancestor<\/a> by Matt Sheean & Malachi Ward.<\/p>\n
