Talksplode #119 - Chris Eliopoulos
Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.
Known to many as the man behind Marvel's lettering for many many years, and known to even more as the illustrator of the Ordinary People Change the World children's book series, along with writer, Brad Meltzer (Talksplode #86), we know Chris Eliopoulos as a long time friend of the show. Way back when, we spent some time with him for our video show. But since it's been a while, and Chris came up with a whole new career, it was time for a check in. If you're going to break into comics and then stay in comics, it's probably going to take a herculean effort, and Chris can attest to that. Then a new opportunity came along, and he and Brad, again, made the most of it. We've got stories aplenty from back in the Marvel bullpen days, and yes, deep dive lettering talk. It's got everything!

The iFanboy.com Comic Book Podcast is a weekly talk show all about the best new current comic book releases. Lifelong friends, Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan talk about what they loved and (sometimes) hated in the current weekly books, from publishers like Marvel, DC, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, BOOM! Studios, IDW, Aftershock, Valiant, and more. The aim is to have a fun time, some laughs, but to also really understand what makes comic books work and what doesn’t, and trying to understand the craft of this great, often under appreciated art form. Sometimes they agree, and sometimes… they don’t. With decades of experience talking about comics, interacting with comic book professionals, this is all about the love of an art form. If the names Brian Michael Bendis, Amanda Conner, Geoff Johns, Gene Luen Yang, Donny Cates, Jason Aaron, Kelly Thompson, David Marquez, Kelly Sue de Connick, Kieron Gillen, Charles Soule, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Scott Snyder, Tom King, Mitch Gerads, Esad Ribic, Rick Remender, Nick Spencer, John Ridley, Skottie Young, Chip Zdarsky, Jöelle Jones, David F. Walker, Grant Morrison, and Darwyn Cooke get you excited, then this is the place for you. This podcast is so good, you don’t even need to read comic books or graphic novels to enjoy it, but it’s a lot better if you do.
