317: Best Marvel Animated Shows

Some creators make great conversation! In Episode 440, I have a fun talk with writer/artist/musician Dave Chisholm from Canopus at Scout Comics, Instrumental, and Let’s Go to Utah!, his first graphic novel! We discuss Canopus, including the first three issues already released and what we might see in the conclusion coming soon! Here’s how the series is described: “Helen wakes up marooned on a lifeless alien planet 300 light years from Earth with no memories beyond a hazy sense of extinction-level urgency to return to Earth. Joined by her robot companion, Arther, she explores the planet to find materials necessary to repair her ship. In this mind-bending sci-fi adventure, Helen’s story unfolds into her past and future, revealing a poignant conclusion that will leave you speechless.” You can purchase this book here or ask your local comics shop to order them for you!

HOWARD’S FAMOUS SAVAGE UNCENSORED! Robert E. Howard’s Conan is brought to life uncensored! Discover the true Conan, unrestrained, violent, and sexual. Read the story as he intended! In Red Nails, Conan finds himself in the Darfar region, whose territory is almost entirely covered by a huge forest. Here he pledges himself a mercenary, promising his sword to the highest bidder, fighting alongside fellow mercenary and fierce female warrior Valeria. After a clash against a terrible dragon, the two go to a strange fortified city, apparently deserted…but the duo will quickly discover that a civilization lives hidden inside, and that the citadel hides a heavy secret. Red Nails is one of Conan’s most beloved and sophisticated stories. Howard affirms his style, persisting in his mistrust of modern civilizations, consumed by passivity, laxity and cruelty. Regis Hautiere, Olivier Vatine and Didier Cassegrain give substance to this tale in splendid colors. Bonus Material: The Original Robert E. Howard short story is included!
