Veteran artist Bret Blevins joins the show today to talk about his 40+ year career in comics and animation. He first hit the scene in the early 80s, adapting films like The Dark Crystal, Krull, and The Last Starfighter for Marvel. Bret continued at Marvel throughout the 80s, illustrating The Bozz Chronicles with David Michelinie for Epic, working on Cloak and Dagger in Strange Tales, completing a major run on New Mutants, and introducing Sleepwalker. Then he was off to DC, where he worked on numerous Batman-related titles, before moving into animation. At Warner Bros., Bret lent his talents to Superman: The Animated Series, The New Batman/Superman Adventures, Batman Beyond, and the Justice League. He's even been an artist on the long-running The Phantom comic strip!
