Eliot Rahal (Knock’em Dead, Midnight Vista) - Knock 'Em Dead

Dan’s at SiouxperCon and gets to have a great chat with comic book author (Knock’em Dead, Midnight Vista) and former standup Eliot Rahal! From his time starting at the legendary Lincoln Lodge in Chicago to his chance at a pilot to writing comic books, they discuss the need for a point of view, the reasons we do comedy, and the need to get out of your “safe rooms” so you can push yourself. The episode also delves into bombing when it counts, the addictive nature of the social aspect of comedy, and the differences between writing for the stage and for the page. Eliot RahalEliot Rahal is a best-selling writer and creator, most known for MADAM SATAN (Archie Comics), BLEED THEM DRY (Vault Comics), PREDATOR: BLACK, WHITE, AND BLOOD (Marvel Comics), and his original titles HOT LUNCH SPECIAL with Jorge Fornes and KNOCK 'EM DEAD.
