New WB Skottie Young

[Adrian B AWESOME]

Great interview John and Skottie. LOVED the first issue of WWoO. Can't wait for all of the characters to get together. The landscapes were breathtaking.

Enjoyed all the McFarlene digs as well. :cool:

yea, weird that John didn't start a thread. Ah well. As always, great interview, very much looking forward to more throughout the new year. I've even started listening to Skottie's podcast. Good stuff.

On this edition of the Word Balloon podcast, we talk with artist Skottie Young about his interpretation of L. Frank Baum's Wonderful Wizard of Oz for Marvel Comics.

We get into a discussion about the Oz mythos, and it's various representations in other media. From the play and novel versions of Wicked to Todd McFarland's "twisted land of Oz" statue. You'll hear about his collaborative process with writer and fellow Oz enthusiast Eric Shanower.

We also discuss Skottie's comedy/music podcast the devil and me co-hosted with Casey Mcauley.

Just listened to this podcast... great interview!

I wasn't too interested in the Marvel Illustrated until this one. I can't wait for the hardcover!
