FW Presents: Panel by Panel, this one discussing a panel from Batman: Shadow of the Bat #13 by Alan Grant and Norm Freakin' Breyfogle! Join Siskoid and podcast newbie Brian Linton as the over-analyze this small piece of art!
Marvel is publishing Fantastic Four #1: Panel by Panel, so the Fire and Water Podcast Network is taking all the credit. But is such a book viable? Siskoid seeks out the FantastiCast's Andrew Leyland to see if it is, letting the randomizer pick one panel from FF#1 at random. You'll need to take your radiation meds for this one.
Panel by Panel goes back in time further than it ever has before - to 1910 and a panel from Winsor McCay's seminal Little Nemo in Slumberland strip! - and though it's a random affair, who better than the learned Martin Gray to help us discover this image from the pre-Golden Age? Dreams, surrealism, and the dawn of new art forms... check it out.
Based on a randomly selected panel from comic book history, in this case a moody piece from David Lapham's Stray Bullets #23, oHOTmu or NOT's Amelie Montour talks crime stories, phobias, and haunted houses. Siskoid throws a flashlight beam at his friend's psyche in this special episode of Panel by Panel!
Rob Kelly becomes the first man to do the show twice, and the revolving finger of comicdom falls on a Jack Kirby Losers story from Our Fighting Forces #153 (1975). It's intense Kirby Action... Reading, the only way the King knew how to draw it. Join us, won't you?
