Queens Comic Podcast: Recent Episodes
Ian Jane
In each and every episode of the Queens Comic Podcast, guys from Queens and regular hosts Billy, Ian and sometimes Mike engage in a free-flowing, unscripted conversation about the comics they like. Sometimes it'll be Marvel and DC, other times obscure indies. The goal is to spread positivity and share our collective love of comic books from all eras.
Also, we have the best theme song ever.
Hey Kids, it's the Queens Comic Podcast!
In this latest episode, Billy and Ian cover the epic Queens Comic Party Third Anniversary bash, complete with a wacky cake! On top of that, Ian gets his ultimate grail book after wanting one for almost forty years (he's old), and talks about his pick ups from the show and from Streetside Anthony in addition to showing off some super cool programs from The Society Of Illustrators, while Billy goes deep into silver age DC territory in addition to highlighting some rad old school horror comics and underground oddities. Oh, and he got to visit the legendary Mike Carbonaro's basement to help our friend Pop Comics dig for treasure!
