Vertigo Visions: Doctor Occult with Matthew Dow Smith

On this episode Matt and special guest co-Doctor Occult superfan Matthew Dow Smith (writer/artist of AMELIA SHADOWS, THE OCTOBER GIRL) try to determine if "pleasure can really be such amusing gallows" (WTF?) by discussing 1994's VERTIGO VISIONS: DOCTOR OCCULT. If you like extremely deep dives on characters most people haven't even heard of it (and face it, if you're listening to this show - you do) then this episode is truly for you! Both Matt and Matthew are outspoken Doctor Occult fans, but interestingly, their love is each rooted in a different aspect of the character.  Although, a bit of a spoiler alert here: the Doctor Occult they love is NOT present in this Vertigo Visions one-shot. BUT the fact that this is a wildly different take on the character does make for a great conversation. Along the way Matt gives Matthew a great idea for a story, but when he asks to have a character named after him he gets turned down for the most Matt reason of all time (and it's not because he talks about Night Man all of the time). Matthew's newest graphic novel AMELIA SHADOWS AND THE MONSTER IN THE BOX is AVAILABLE NOW! https://papercutz.com/product/amelia-shadows-and-the-monster-in-the-box-vol-2/?srsltid=AfmBOooiVtXJ1Og_V9plOQh2Jr_iHU712-PsSO53y-ELHfq8tDRe2IK-&v=0b3b97fa6688 Follow Matthew on BlueSky: @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social Contact the show: [email protected] Follow Matt on BlueSky: @mattbegins.bsky.social  Intro music from the song "Doin' What We Do" by the always amazing Mustard Plug (https://mustardplug.com/)
