Spinning from Vertigo with DC's BOB SCHRECK

DC Editor Bob Schreck has lived about five lifetimes and seems to have a few more to go. He's a lot like The Highlander in that he just might be immortal and there's definitely only one! We became acquainted with Bob earlier this year at the first Atlanta Comics Expo and found him to be a terrific guy, a great storyteller and someone with a true heart for the comics biz. Joining us from his desk at DC, Schreck caught us up on the All-Star line and some of his other projects including a new Madame Xanadu book through Vertigo. This one will feature the writing of the great Matt Wagner and art by talented newcomer Amy Hadley. Bob also reflects a bit on the year coming to a close, wading through the Vertigo waters and on his past with Creation Cons, Comico and of course Oni Press. Plus, a funny story about him "meeting" Frank Miller at a NY convention and why he fights the good fight for creators like Kevin Smith, Scott Morse and Paul Pope. Oh yeah, and Pellucidar!

**This episode features several snippets of music: Jethro Tull's Aqualung, Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale, Science Fiction/ Double Feature from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and U2's Vertigo. And we have to give props to Schreck's Assistant Editor Brandon Montclare for suggesting the Amy Hadley hotness for Madame X...turn it up loud, Captain!
