Mike's run on Punisher was the best take pre Garth. I'm sure he took inspiration from much of the elements Mike used. Also LOVED Badger - "Whadda yoo, a lawyer?"
Great interview! And what a great talent, Mike Baron is. His Nexus stories grabbed me as a lapsed comic reader and yanked me back in! And anyone who is a fan of Carl Barks is number one in my book
Great interview. Mike Baron & you - Mark Millar - are world class. I'm currently in the midst of pitching my outer space parody comic series/limited-series STARCREEP. I have 3-5 other comics being worked on right now by different artists - that I wrote. There's never a dull moment. 2025 may be an outstanding year. *B. L. Blankenship
Great show! Love hearing two writers talk about the craft. I had no idea Mike Baron was such an R. Crumb fan! Would love to see you do a deep dive interview with Chris Claremont some time.
Great interview Mark! I was wondering if you knew of a Marvel UK artist named Jeff Aclin? Jeff was the penciler for the cover of Marvel Spotlight #1 with Captain Mar-vell. Really good artist with a John Buscema feel.
Mike Baron's first five issues of FLASH (1-4 + Annual 1) are still some of the best Wally West stories ever. But you could tell at the time that he was running out of ideas because nearly every story after those (except for the introduction of Chunk, who was quite an original character) was "Flash vs. this or that new speedster". Still, he gave the new Flash quite a launch. One tip for Mike, though: Maybe don't explain your comic's plot in too fine detail before you actually have a chance to sell the book.
Great interview by two greats, and I have to admit the Sherlock trailer is a banger! Wasn't expecting that. ruclips.net/video/AglTgNPLnJ4/видео.htmlsi=KoWD3mutwlZAjptQ

I really enjoyed this interview. Mike is a genuine guy, and his work is always delivered earnestly and with a love and understanding of the medium.
Really fun and interesting interview. Thanks guys.
What a blast it was to illustrate "Leviathan"!
Another brilliant episode! Mike Baron original Punisher run at Marvel was classic !!
Two legends
Great interview. I see Mike on steams but it's nice to hear about life.
Thank you for the shout out Mike!!

Two absolute legends. Love the discussion.
Big Ups Mike Baron 😎👍
Great interview!
Nexus and Badger were absolutely formative experiences for me. For several years were the only comics I continued reading.
Great interview. Thanks to Mike, too.
Awesome interview!
Man! To see the entire collected Nexus in my store… that would be awesome!

CG LOVES MILLAR & MIKE BARON! Shout out!!

Can we get Jeff Lemiere on here? I just discovered Black Hammer and love it!
