It’s another great doubleheader week here during Episode #566, and it features conversations with Austin Hough and I.N.J. Culbard!

Everything kicks off with Austin Hough, who has a Kickstarter underway for his The Masters mini-series that will conclude this Friday, December 16, at 12:01 AM EST. It’s described this way: “The comic book story inspired by some of the most famous artists of the 20th century continues with Issues 2 AND 3!” We discuss who the various characters are, how Austin has been coordinating working with an excellent team of creators, and what we can expect from all of them in the future!

Then everything wraps up with my interview with I.N.J. Culbard about his terrific story from Berger Books/Dark Horse Comics called Salamandre, and it’s available this month in bookstores around the world, just in time for holiday gift giving! It’s described like this: “A uniquely evocative graphic novel about family, loss, and the freedom of art.” It focuses on a bereaved young artist who is seeking to heal his grief in a world of art revolutionaries, espionage, and the Secret Police! We explore who the various people are, how they relate to Ian’s own experiences, and what we can expect from him in the future! Don’t miss it!
