This week, we're joined by acclaimed comic book writer Todd Dezago! Known for his character-driven storytelling and gift for collaboration, Todd takes us behind the scenes of his influential run on Sensational Spider-Man with Mike Wieringo that redefined Peter Parker for a generation of readers. We explore the creation of their creator-owned fantasy epic Tellos, a vibrant world of swashbuckling adventure that showcased both creators at the height of their powers while tragically serving as one of Wieringo's final major works before his untimely passing. Todd shares candid insights about his unique collaborative process, from his work on Young Justice with Todd Nauck to partnering with Craig Rousseau on the all-ages gem The Perhapanauts—a supernatural investigation team that blends humor with heart.
