Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
After publishing our review of Mike Zeck's Classic Marvel Stories Artist's Edition I was contacted by Kelvin Mao, the book's editor. He was kind enough to answer questions about the book, his process, working with IDW and how it all began.
As pointed out by a faithful reader Comic Book Daily has provided quite a bit of coverage for the Nelvana Of The Northern Lights Kickstarter reprint, but one issue seems to have been unaddressed.
We're aspiring creatures, all wishing and hoping to reach that next phase in our lives where we meet our potential; where our talents transcend the height of our self-perception.

After a few weeks of back and fourth, Sim and I finally sat down to discuss his adventure into Glamourpuss.
