Writer/artist Dave Baker (Mary Tyler MooreHawk, Halloween Boy) joins us to talk about Tom Strong, Alan Moore and Chris Sprouse’s homage to the pulp heroes of old from America’s Best Comics.
Dave knows a thing or two about pulp adventurers thanks to his work on Halloween Boy, leading to a lively discussion over a comic that’s gotten a lot of recent attention thanks to James Gunn listing Tom Strong as an influence on Superman. We dissect pulp hero iconography, marvel at artist Chris Sprouse’s work, and ask the question: Is Tom Strong a top-tier Alan Moore comic, or just merely okay?
