P. Craig Russell on STORMBRINGER & A Life with Elric

Talking to comics creators for this show is something both the lads enjoy, but it's safe to say that Greg's chat on today's show is one he's has been looking forward to for a long time. P. Craig Russell is a multi-Eisner Award-winning cartoonist whose career spans decades and whose list of notable works would take almost as long to discuss. He is a comix storyteller of the first order, speaking its language on the page fluidly enough to adapt other mediums like prose, drama, and even opera with seeming ease (though we doubt he would call it 'easy'). Though joking in a 1991 Comics Journal interview that he preferred working with dead writers, it is his in-direct collaboration with SF living legend Michael Moorcock that brings him on the show today because Titan Comics is reprinting his miniseries Stormbringer as the latest in its Elric volumes of The Michael Moorcock Library, in stores on July 21st.
