#261: October 1975 (w/Mark Evanier) - "Screamer In the Brain!"

Mark Evanier's  list of professional
credits runs from Garfield and Friends to
Groo the Wanderer. But he got his start
as Jack Kirby’s assistant, and he’s the author of the definitive
Jack Kirby biography, Kirby: King of

collaboration with Sergio Aragonés, has recently
come back into print from Dark Horse.
