Season Two Episode 03 - Sandman 8 with Bess Pallares

SEASON TWO IS HERE!

Join host Zack Soto—cartoonist, editor and bin crawler—for In This Issue… a podcast about formative comics reading experiences, with a focus on the single issue format. Every episode finds Zack and a special guest doing a close reading of a comic book (not a graphic novel!) and havin' a lively chat about it.

THE ISSUE: The Sandman #8 by Neil Gaiman. Mike Dringenberg, Malcom Jones III, Robbie Busch, and Todd Klein. 

THE GUEST: Bess Pallares, Senior Editrix at oni press. We used to work together and now we don't! We talk about editorial vision, Karen Berger, early Vertigo, storytelling via color, and digital "restoration" of work that (spoiler alert) maybe misses the mark a bit. 

FYI SECTION:

Season Two has a Patreon…sorta—I mean, I have a patreon.

One of the benefits of subscribing at the $3 level is you'll get episodes of In This Issue… a week early!

📣There's a chunk of this episode about Bess' path to glory (editorially) that's only available to subscribers.

🎷Next episode is Sammy Harkham on Peepshow #4—so if you want to hear it a whole week before the main feed—head over to the Patreon!

NEW BOOK ALERT!! 

Power Button Vol 1: The First Invasion is OUT NOW!

I'm very very proud of this book I made with my buddy Jason Fischer-Kouhi, and it's out in the world now. I hope you like it!! 

PS: Check out this interview about Power Button on the Lerner Blog, and this AMAZING video review of PBV1 by cartoonist and animator Tim Sievert!
