QBP #030 - Malibu, Rune & Writing Comics in the 90s

relativelygeeky@gmail.com (Professor Alan & Em) — Mon, 16 Sep 2019 19:00:00 -0700

Quarter-Bin Podcast #30

Original release date: July 5, 2014.

For the first time ever in the long and illustrious history of the Quarter-Bin Podcast, we actually talk with the scripter of one of our comics ... two of our comics, actually. Our last two comics, as a matter of fact. I had a great chat with Paul O'Connor, who wrote Rune 4 & Rune 5, the books we covered in episodes 28 & 29.

We talk about those comics, of course, but we also talk about being in the comic book industry in the wacky 1990s, and about his excellent comic book blog, The Longbox Graveyard.
