Ep. 105: The Art Nerds Catch Up with J.H. WILLIAMS III

I'm gonna refrain from referring to Jim "J.H." Williams III as J3reezy, although I did call him that once while talking to Dwight (oops). The man's artwork trancends such nonsense. Look at the design, look at the layout—look at the red! Lots of it!

But done for a reason, true believers. That's kind of Jim's thing—he's always trying to push the graphic nature in the art, while staying true to the story. Moving the narrative along, as he puts it.

We wanted to chat with him about more than just Detective Comics and Promethea, but alas, it didn't happen. Oh well, best laid plans of mice and men. Tons of process in there though and plenty on the new Absolute Promethea coming out this October.

Plus, Williams pulled back the curtain for us. Apparently, he's just as hard on himself as every other creator is (go figger). 

All in all, we got some sweet audio for you to check out. Jim gave us a bunch of his time and we 'preciate it totally. We're fans now more than ever.

Hope you dig it!

**On this episode, we clear up a rumor about Jim that's been going around for a while now. Always happy to embarrass ourselves in the name of truth (ha)!

We also played a snippet of Elvis Costello & The Attractions' Watching the Detective.
