EP: 80 From Plastic to Narco: Doug Wagner & Daniel Hillyard on Building Something Strange

Send us Fan MailWriter Doug Wagner returns to Back to Pop  and this time, he brings his artistic partner in crime with him.Daniel Hillyard joins the conversation for a wide-ranging discussion on what it looks like when a creative partnership builds its own corner of the comics world, strange, violent, funny, and more emotionally honest than it has any right to be.Together, they’ve made Plastic, Vinyl, Plush, and I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer. Now there’s Narco. And the work keeps getting bolder.Marc, Doug, and Daniel dig into the DNA of their collaboration how they balance horror and humor, what makes a damaged character feel real inside an absurd premise, and why the strangest stories often carry the most human weight.If you’ve been reading these books, this one’s for you. If you haven’t, this is a great place to start.You can connect with Daniel here https://www.12gaugecomics.com/creator_danielhillyardYou can can connect with Doug here https://shocknoggin.com/about Theme music composed by Ron Wasserman Audio composed and edited by Lauren M.
