EP 06 - Interview w/Canadian Comics Pioneer Mark Askwith (Marvel, DC, SPACE, Stan Lee, Power Stone + More)!

from Up North And Personal: A Spotlight for Canadian Talent · host Malik "TheCartoonGamer" McLeod

In this edition of Up North and Personal, I chat with Mark Askwith, a pioneer in the Canadian comic book industry and a legendary interviewer (among many, many other things). We talk about his work in comics at Toronto's Silver Snail in the 80s, the show Prisoners of Gravity and the interviews conducted for it, how he stumbled onto working on the Power Stone anime, and his various run-ins with comic legends like Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Alan Moore... this guy's been around, and I'm flattered he got to share some of his many tales with me.
