As many of you know, I love comic books. One of my favorites is Lazarus by Greg Rucka and Michael Lark. I met Greg at San Diego Comic Con, You can imagine my excitement when Greg invited me to interview him in Portland at his home. I met his lovely wife Jen, and his dog Marlowe, who makes a few cameos in this interview on my youtube channel.
Beyond his incredible ability to tell stories with fascinating characters, Greg is extraordinarily kind. I was so moved that he took time out of his very busy schedule to sit down and talk with me for 2 hours!
We talk about politics, character development, the impacts of social media on society, and about Greg’s background. He is a writer who portrays women as empowered and human.
Greg is known for Wonder Woman, Lazarus, The Old Guard, Gotham Central, Lois Lane, and Stumptown – which has recently been made into a TV series starring Cobie Smulders on ABC. (Wednesdays at 10:00pm.)
I urge listeners to pick up one of Greg’s comics and let me know what you think. He is one of my favorite writers and I am grateful that I got the chance to conduct this interview.
This was recorded on the weekend of Rose City Comic Con in September. We cover a wide variety of topics and as it is 2 hours long, tried our best to give you show notes. Feel free to skip to a topic that you find interesting.
