Peter Bagge's Hate part 3 with Whit Taylor

 


The great Whit Taylor (Fizzle, Dead Air, The Nib) returns for part 3 of our read-through of Peter Bagge's Hate, one of the greatest works from the 90's alternative comics era.  As always, we discuss how certain elements have aged, while also appreciating the art and storytelling of this series that was so formative for both of us.  This is the season finale of The Runs Season 3!  Drop me a line if you'd like me to make season 4!

Sam Kieth's (with Bill Messner-Loebs) The Maxx with Sidney Davidson

 


Sidney Davidson was the colorist on a series I got to illustrate (with writer Mark Russell) called Vanishing Point.  I invited him to be a guest on the show and he suggested The Maxx, which is among the most formative comics of my experience as a reader. I couldn't wait to talk about it with him!  Does it hold up?  How does it read differently as an adult than as an adolescent?  Did any of the other Image books reference Camille Paglia?  Find out in this episode!
