#184: August 1972 (w/Katie Pryde & Douglas Wolk) - "The Making of a Nurse!"

Katie Pryde is the proprietrix of Books
with Pictures, the Will Eisner Comic Industry 2022
Spirit of Comics Retailer Award-winning comics shop, conveniently
located in Portland, Oregon's southeast. It's our home base and a
truly welcoming and inclusive environment, particularly for kids
and those who have traditionally not felt welcome in other comics
shops. She is also on the board for the Northwest Museum
of Cartoon Arts, which opens its doors later this year —
visit nwmoca.org to learn more and find out how you can help to
bring it to life!


Douglas Wolk is the author of All of
the Marvels, the Eisner Award-winning Best
Comics-Related Book of 2022, in which he graciously included us
in the acknowledgments. Douglas is also the founder of the
616 Society, a Patreon-supported message board
and daily Marvel Unlimited book club. If you like what we do, you
will love Douglas's much smarter and more coherent
versions of it.
