#109: January 1969 (w/Jordan Morris and Tony Cliff) - "Galactus Is Born!"

Jordan Morris is one-half of Jordan,
Jesse, Go!, one of the
longest-running and funniest podcasts on the interwaves. He's
also a brilliant comedy writer whose work can be most recently
seen in Disney+'s Earth to Ned, which you
should treat yourself to if you haven't already.


Tony Cliff is the creator of the
Delilah Dirk series of graphic novels and
the Eisner-nominated short story, Old Oak
Trees.


Tony and Jordan have combined their considerable talents, along
with those of co-writer Sarah Morgan and color artist Natalie
Riess to adapt Jordan's scripted comedy podcast
Bubble to a graphic novel. It's being
solicited in the May issue of Previews, so get your orders
into your local comics shop TODAY!
