With Casanova Frankenstein pt. 2

Tue, 16 Jun 2020 00:00:00 -0400

Artist Casanova Frankenstein's (Tears of the Leather Bound Saints, Tad Martin, Purgatory) work is at turns beautiful, grotesque, confessional, comical and confrontational. Best known for Tad Martin, he has been publishing since the mid-eighties - drawing in his free time while working a series of jobs out of the want ads. In this episode he and Fred Noland discuss comics, social commentary, broad and sometimes subtle racial aggression and haunted families.
