Thanks to iFanboy patrons, it's Talksplode time.It's our second Texan in a row, as Josh finally welcomes cartoonist and creator, Terry Moore to the long form interview show. Terry's Strangers in Paradise holds a special place in the hearts of the iFanboy founders, and this year, we've seen the return of the beloved characters in a continuation of their story 25 years after it started. In talking about the series and its origins, Terry sheds a light on how to grow an independent comic series in various eras of the comic book industry, and how that's changed. We also talk about what came before comics, and how making that transition worked, and plenty more, like his other series, Echo and Rachel Rising. You can follow Terry on Twitter to keep up him, as well as visiting the Abstract Studios website.Total Running Time: 01:05:39Music:“Strangers"Portishead Learn more about your ad choices.
