WCPE Episode 074 – For December 2, 2015 – Ande Parks and Seduction of the Innocent #1

By jerrymcmullen on December 4, 2015 • ( 4 )

The Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! is back with our good friend, Ande Parks. We convinced him to pause his great 2015 Star Trek re-watch long enough to join us on the call to discuss his new comic book, Seduction of the Innocent, with artist Esteve Polls from Dynamite Entertainment. It’s 1953, and San Francisco’s crime lords are being murdered. The young FBI agent assigned to the case must deal with his own nightmares while trying to keep the city from slipping into anarchy.

In early 2016, Ande and his family will be traveling to England for a study-abroad opportunity. Ande will make the most of this adventure by teaching an “Art of the Graphic Novel” course at Harlaxton College. We discussed the reading list for the class, which includes:

Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud
Adventures in Cartooning: How to Turn Your Doodles Into Comics by James Sturm, Andrew Arnold, and Alexis Frederick-Frost
A Contract with God by Will Eisner
The Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman
Capote in Kansas by Ande Parks and Chris Samnee
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, and Lynn Varley
You Are Here by Kyle Baker

And in between all of that, we fill in the conversation with talk of apple cider, fedoras, inking comics, Metcalf South, and much more. As always, we are the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, and we hope you enjoy the show.
