I hope you’re ready for another great doubleheader this week in Episode 482, because it features Frank Martin and Sean McArdle! First up is the return of Frank Martin, who has a Kickstarter for the first part of The Last Homicide, which is already going here at this link! It’s described this way: “On the eve of retirement, a cop must stop a mob war by solving the murder of a crime boss' son in this homage to classic pulp mystery.” This crime noir mystery deserves your support, so be sure to pledge as soon as this episode is cover! Then everything wraps up with my latest great conversation with Sean McArdle from the excellent comic The Furher and the Tramp from Source Point Press. The collected edition is coming soon! Here’s the book’s description: “Charlie Chaplin - comic, filmmaker, and raconteur didn't become the world's biggest star by courting controversy, but when he comes face-to-face with the horrors of Hitler, he feels compelled to get off the sidelines and get involved. And then Charlie is approached by FDR himself with a special assignment. His mission, if he chooses to accept it: create a propaganda film to drum up public support for joining the war in Europe!” We talk about the series, which I truly enjoy, and that includes the characters, the surprises, and that Sean might have even more in store for us in the months ahead! Be sure to let your LCS know you want this title!
