A great episode with a phenomenal guest! It was interesting to hear his thoughts about the current state of the convention scene and how it has transitioned from comics to largely entertainment media in general (movies and such).
I love the idea of starting a tradition of having him as the yearly Halloween guest. Do that please!
We will definitely work on doing that. Thanks for the great feedback Mr. Yakutis.
I just realized that there are now two Mr. Y’s on the staff list at MakingComics.com. I never thought that would happen.
Sincerely, the other MisterY
Fellow VT’er here- Steve has been a great inspiration to me and others in my generation to make comics and make OUR OWN comics. He’s always a great interview- glad you got him for a long conversation.
Alan Moore’s Saga of Swamp Thing is the book that made me want to write comics.
