Welcome to Geektown Interviews: Evan Skolnick (Pt 1)

We’re re-running the interview episodes that have already aired in anticipation of the new interview format for the show. First up, Evan Skolnick: writer, editor, and professor of video games!

But first, an apology...

My first interview (well, for this podcast. My very first interview was with Megan Mullaly, but I don’t have those tapes)

A comparison of pre-computer coloring (left), and Marvel’s first computer colored book (right). Many more gradients, and that was just the start…

Episode 54: Interview with Evan Skolnick, Part 1

In the first part of this multi-episode interview, Kurt talks to comic book writer/game writer and producer/college professor Evan Skolnick about the earliest part of his career, up to his editorial stint at Marvel Comics.

Stay tuned next week for Part 2! While this interview is running, Welcome to Geektown will be on a weekly release schedule instead of every other week. Enjoy the extra content, and if you have an extra $1.00 or so, why not join the Patreon for even more material!
