GAR! Podcast Episode 21- Special Guests Jeremy Whitley and Emily Martin of Princeless

One of these days, I’m going to figure out how we’ve gotten so lucky here at GAR! This week, Glenn and I had the privilege of interviewing the current creative team of the Eisner-nominated and Glyph-winning comic book, Princeless (a big GAR favorite). Jeremy Whitley (the book’s writer) and Emily Martin (the book’s current artist) were kind enough to stop by and talk about their book, teaching comics, publisher Action Lab Comics, and other topics.

As always, you can always get the latest shows and leave comments for us at www.garpodcast.com. You can also listen on iTunes and Stitcher. Tweet Ray at @raycornwall, and tweet Glenn at @monsura. Thanks for listening!

introduction / Jeremy’s inspiration / accessible comics / Emily comes on board / Mark Waid and the Eisner Awards / Gail Simone / teaching art / college / self-publishing / plushes / Princeless / Breaking Bad / it always comes back to Prince / Emily’s influences and art styles / coloring and lions / cosplay / Endless inspirations / Jeremy’s Batman story / cat intermission / APE / where to stalk / robot apocalypse / holding the line / Space-Time Condominium / Molly Danger by Jamal Igle / Skyward and Vamplets / closing words / Batman vs Grumpy Cat /
