This episode: Eric Haven!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please welcome the creator of the comic series Tales to Demolish, Angryman, & the Aviatrix<\/a>, as well as the books UR<\/a> and the brand new Vague Tales<\/a>: Eric Haven<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We delve deep into Eric’s creative process, from writing to drawing, to final product. Vague Tales is a fairly surreal bit of near-automatic writing and Eric details the way it all came together. We also talk about his general career path, from Angryman at Caliber\/Iconografix, to Sparkplug Comic Books, to Buenaventura Press, Adhouse Books and his current home at Fantagraphics Books. Eric was also a producer on the tv show Mythbusters for many years, and we get into that a bit, and the ways that’s affected his career as a cartoonist.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There’s also a decent bit of political chit chat, as we get into his recent short piece The Resister<\/a>. The past is the future and the future is the past in this great talk with a visionary creator!<\/p>\n

But First: <\/strong>Mike & Zack get a bunch of business taken care of, talk current events (Spills! Thrills!) and Zack has a new\/old webcomic up on Study Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n
