Episode 163: Dave Baker
from The Graphic Histories Podcast · host André Myette
André finds a yet another kindred spirit and fellow pod-caster who has created a fantastic new graphic novel that revels in the punk scene of artistic collaboration.Dave Baker is an Eisner-nominated writer and artist whose work frequently blends genre exploration with postmodern mystery, notably in the critically acclaimed Mary Tyler Moorehawk, a mind-bending graphic novel that functions as both a "gee-whiz" adventure and a document-based detective story. His recent output continues this versatile streak with Punk’n Heads, a punk romance coming of age tale co-created with Nicole Goux, and Halloween Boy, which follows the surreal voyages of a super-scientist explorer and "archaeologist-for-hire." Across these projects and earlier works like Night Hunters and Everyone is Tulip, Baker has established himself as a distinct voice in the independent circuit, known for his dense world-building and commitment to creator-owned storytelling.Dave talks about loving scrappy wannabe artists, what informed his new book, how much he loves fictional surrealism, how all writers are liars and a hilarious chance witnessing of Werner Herzog in public!Send us Fan MailSupport the show
