I hope you’re ready for another great doubleheader episode, this time beginning with Ahoy Comics’ new Toxic Avenger mini-series creators Matt Bors and Fred Harper, then concluding with Danny Hellman from Jacked Tracts, which is crowdfunding on Zoop.gg!
The episode starts with my fun interview with writer Matt Bors, returning to the podcast, and first-timer artist Fred Harper. They’re bringing a new take on Toxic Avenger, which is being described this way: “It’s an all-new 5-issue comic book series starring THE TOXIC AVENGER, the satirical hero of the Troma Films cult classic films. Having already spawned five films, a cartoon, action figures, a musical, and a Marvel comic book series, the Toxic Avenger is a pop culture icon.” We talk about how this new mini-series came to be, who the characters are, and what we can expect from these two creators in the months ahead! The first issue has just been released, so be sure to check with your local comics shop, who can order the books for you if they don’t already have a copy in stock!
Then everything wraps up with my excellent conversation with Jacked Tracts creator Danny Hellman, who has this current crowdfunding project underway with Zoop.gg. Here’s the description: “Jacked Tracts is a spirited satire of those notorious Christian comic tracts that thrilled and traumatized American kids throughout the late 20th Century. Its rollicking re-examination of these comics from a contemporary perspective is sure to delight believers and heathens alike!” Danny discusses how this book came to be, who the characters and creators are, and what else he has coming soon!
