Pierrot Alterations and William Softkey & The Purple Spider

After the break, check out the latest episode of Comic Books Are Burning In Hell, with your road dogs Chris Mautner, Joe McCulloch, Tucker Stone & Matt Seneca.

This week, the boys are taking a look at CF's latest works with Anthology Editions...but talking new CF means talking old CF, and talking old CF means talking legacy, impact, the whole deal. Then things take a turn...for the randy!

For more information about Pierrot Alterations, head to Anthology's site--it might be unavailable right now. You can take a look at William Softkey & The Purple Spider along with a lot of the books we talk about on this show on our Bookshop page. If you purchase any of the books, the podcast will receive an affiliate fee, which will go towards paying the monthly hosting fee for the podcast, and, because it is Bookshop, will also go to support indie booksellers. On Twitter, you can keep up with the boys at @factualopinion, @snubpollard, @mattseneca and @cmautner.

PLEASE NOTE: At one point in this episode, I refer to Grant Morrison using he/him pronouns. This episode was recorded before Morrison noted that their preference is “they/them” - no statement or message was intended by my usage, which was merely in line with typical descriptors of Morrison at that time.

Great episode fellas. If you can fit it in between your reviews of Astro City and the Kingdom Come special issues, how about an episode looking at Anke Feuchtenberger's 'W the Whore' books? I see there's a few copies available on the Domino Books website :D.

Wow that was great to hear, sorry it was my first time. Finally someone questioning writing in comics about psychedelia. It's what I've been doing for years. So true listening to academia talk about it is beyond not worth it. Trouble is for too long the likes of the popular comic folks have been drinking the cool aid of Leary and Huxley. Thus built whole careers on social engineering. I'm sure at some point many worked it out but I doubt all did, as it just doesn't show in the work.
