Another excellent doubleheader this week in Episode 483 with Simon Birks and Marielle Bouleau as well as Glenn Head! First up is Simon Birks and Marielle Bouleau from Blue Fox Comics! They have a Kickstarter happening right now for Busy Little Bees #1, and it’s described this way: “Sebastian visits his sister, Myna, in an attempt to help her rehabilitation, but the evening takes a dramatic, and terrifying, twist.” We discuss both the comic and the company, so be sure to check both out after you listen to this episode! Then everything wraps up with my riveting discussion with Glenn Head, the creator of Chartwell Manor from Fantagraphics! It’s described like this: “Cartoonist Glenn Head’s Memoir CHARTWELL MANOR is Both a Harrowing Portrayal of Adolescent Abuse and a Testimony to the Transcendent Power of Art!” We discuss the years he spent at a boarding school and how he was introduced to underground comics, among other things!
