Representing, from February 8th 2010, our first interview with Paul Levitz.
Even though it was only a couple of years ago, in terms of the comics industry, and DC Comics in particular, it was a lifetime ago. Listen back to an interview, just as an executive was leaving corporate life for a freelance gig, and four podcasters were embarking on their third creator interview, with someone whom they’d all admired for a very long time! We talk about Paul’s past runs on the Legion and the JSA, his post corporate runs on Legion of Super Heroes and Adventure Comics, and how to really put together a great comic room.
What do you think lived up to the promise, what do you think ended up differently? Let us know on our Facebook page, http://facebook.legionofsubstitutepodcasters.com/
