Part-Time Fanboy Podcast: Ep 500 Cullen Bunn and Mad Cave Studios Bring Gatchaman Comics to the U.S. for the First Time!

Part-Time Fanboy Podcast

Episode 500 is here!!!! In 1972 an animated TV show known as Gatchaman debuted in Japan that would influence a generation of children for decades to come. Debuting in the United States in heavily edited form as Battle of the Planets, Gatchaman was a cartoon show that had many a young nerd scrambling home after school to sit in front of the electric glow of their television sets. In June Mad Cave Studios kicks off a major launch of the Gatchaman franchise with a new comic book series that is based off of and exists within the continuity of the original 105 episode run of the show. This week, Kristian sits down with the writer of the new ongoing Gatchaman comic book series, Cullen Bunn. Cullen talks about his love of all things Gatchaman, how he plans to tell new stories in the Gatchaman universe while respecting the original continuity of the show, and how Mad Cave Studios is planning a major campaign to bring the universe from the original, Japanese Gatchaman series back in a big way!
