HEROES CON part 1.

We shot a ton of footage and had to split this show over two episodes. This first part features all three nights of drinking, interviews with David Gallaher (HIGH MOON) and Nathan Fox (PIGEONS FROM HELL), the S.C.A.D. panel on how to draw children and animals with June Brigman, and the “In Conversation” panel with Jill Thompson and Evan Dorkin discussing their book BEASTS OF BURDEN.

Plus a whole lot more!

HEROES CON - part 2

The second part of our HeroesCon trip. It’s Sunday and Rafer is way too hungover to sell any books, so he walks around and talks to a bunch of comics creators. Interviews with Chris Sims (INVINCIBLE SUPER-BLOG, a ton of other stuff), Chad Bowers (MONSTER PLUS, another ton of additional things), Brad Guigar (EVIL, INC.), Jim Rugg (AFRODISIAC, STREET ANGEL, PLAIN JANES), Steve Lieber (WHITEOUT, UNDERGROUND), Joel Watson (HIJINKS ENSUE), and KIRBY KRACKLE’s Jim Demonakos and Kyle Stevens.

And then we drive home.
