They start with the speculator boom (and bust) of the 1990s. but also talk about the current state of comics, including price points, digital comics, and getting kids to read comics.

Also, Professor Alan talks one-on-one with The Irredeemable Shag about the topic. Shag was working in the comic book retail space during this era, and he brings his knowledge and insights to the conversation.

QBP #030 - Malibu, Rune & Writing Comics in the 90s

Quarter-Bin Podcast #30

Original release date: July 5, 2014.

For the first time ever in the long and illustrious history of the Quarter-Bin Podcast, we actually talk with the scripter of one of our comics ... two of our comics, actually. Our last two comics, as a matter of fact. I had a great chat with Paul O'Connor, who wrote Rune 4 & Rune 5, the books we covered in episodes 28 & 29.


We talk about those comics, of course, but we also talk about being in the comic book industry in the wacky 1990s, and about his excellent comic book blog, The Longbox Graveyard.
