IDEAS DON'T BLEED episode ninety-one | Tom King, part one

WELCOME BACK TO IDEAS DON’T BLEED!

This week, we’re joined by Tom King (Mister Miracle / Love Everlasting) as we discuss his comics origins, finding your style, his new Dark Horse series Helen of Wyndhorn, and more!

IDB is an all-new weekly podcast presented by Ashcan Press and featuring Matthew Rosenberg, the Supple Boiz, and wonderful guests from the world of comic books!

Our theme song is “Where’s the Poison” by Summer People.

Enjoy!

Hello again.

Time for another one of these. This time we’re joined by superstar writer Tom King as we discuss all the stuff we always discuss. We’re sort of a one trick pony at Ideas Don’t Bleed. But you don’t show up for us, you show up for the… riders? I think I don’t quite understand the one trick pony metaphor and I don’t love where that led us. But here we are.

Tom is talking about his life, his process, his work at Marvel and DC, and his excellent new creator owned books like HELEN OF WYNDHORN, ANIMAL POUND, and LOVE EVERLASTING. So give it a listen as you go about your day.

The writer Deniz Camp posted the other day about the journalist Islam Ezzanoun and her attempts to get herself and her 3 small children out of Palestine. It is a very expensive and complicated process, so she needs to raise 30,000 Euro to safely do it.

They have raised a food amount of money on Gofundme but still have a long way to go. Because they are standup people Deniz and his wife are helping the effort by offering some signed comics as reward for donating. You can find the details here but basically if you donate $5 and send them a photo of your receipt you are entered into a raffle to win signed comics. You can email the receipt to 2024campOOB at gmail dot com.

Help a family in crisis. Get yourself some cool comics. It’s a win/win.

That’s it for me.

Stay safe. Take care of each other. I don’t think I should let people who listen to the show be guests anymore. They know all our tricks.
