WonderCon 2024
I had such a blast leading the Q&A with the mighty Bruce Dickinson at WonderCon over the weekend. The Air Raid Siren was on hand to talk about his wonderful new The Mandrake Project album tie-in series with Z2 Comics. It was positively killer to chat with my favorite airline pilot and fencing champion about everything from Doctor Strange to William Blake.
We were joined by another living legend, Bill Sienkiewicz, whose gorgeous cover illustrations and interior art in Moon Knight, New Mutants, and Rom Spaceknight blew my young mind. As a teenager, I took some elements of his New Mutants artwork and punk-rock cut-and-pasted them (Misfits style) for the demo cover for my first real band. Speaking of the Misfits, I actually reminded him that he did some cover art for Danzig. You may also recognize his non-comics work with the RZA, Corrosion of Conformity, and/or Soilent Green.
Many thanks to the great Josh Bernstein and Rantz Hoseley for inviting me to hang with two of my favorite artists from two of my favorite mediums.
