THE ISSUE: DRAGON CHIANG by Tim Truman & Tim Bradstreet, Eclipse Comics (1991)
THE GUEST: François Vigneault stops by to launch the new season, this time with a comic that Zack has picked! We talk about The Tims Truman & Bradstreet, collaborating here, as well as their subtle but surprisingly outsized impact on popular culture, attempts to break into new markets abroad, and musical taste. We have a lot of fun with this hard-rockin "commie truck driving comic".
Bonus: François made a spotify playlist of all the (many, many) musical references Tim Truman peppered throughout the issue and accompanying editorial text.
ALSO: Season Two has a Patreon...sorta—I mean, I have a patreon. One of the benefits of subscribing at the $3 level is you'll get episodes of In This Issue... a week early! Plus I'm posting lots of art and #wip shots of the next Power Button volume, AND starting next week: new updates of THE SECRET VOICE!
PS: if you're at Short Run Seattle this weekend stop by table K64 and grab a copy of Power Button Volume 1, which I'll be debuting at the show.
