The Under Guides Graphic Novel Podcast Vol XI: The Warped Saga of Starslayer & GrimJack

Diabolu Frank, Illegal Machine, and (a little bit of) Fry-Hole take you on a winding journey through the early history of the direct sales market, specific to the initial competitive independent publishers Pacific, Capitol, and First Comics. All this is specifically with regard to how that relates to the Organic Theater Company stage play Warp by Stuart Gordon and Lenny Kleinfeld (as "Bury St. Edmund,") and its comics adaptation by Peter B. Gillis, Frank Brunner, Jerry Bingham, Mike Gustovich, Howard Chaykin, George Freeman, Marc Silvestri, and others; Mike Grell's Starslayer: The Log of the Jolly Roger, as continued by Lenin Delsol and others; and the early Grimjack back-up strips by John Ostrander & Timothy Truman.
