#144: The Kirby Koda (w/Mark Evanier)

Mark Evanier began his professional writing
career one week after his high school graduation, and it's still
going strong more than half a century later. 


He is widely regarded as one of the most knowledgeable and
prolific chroniclers of comics history, both on his own blog,
News From ME, and in the definitive Jack Kirby
biography, Kirby: King of Comics.
He also manages the legacy of Walt Kelly's
Pogo in Fantagraphics' The
Complete Syndicated Comics Strips collections.
