Episode 38: June Brigman & Louise ”Weezie” Simonson Interview

Unpacking the Power of Power Pack

In celebration of the newest addition to Power Pack cannon, Grow Up #1, we are proud to present our interview with June Brigman and Louise Simonson. These two wonderful ladies were gracious enough to join us for an extended talk.

We had the opportunity to talk about a number of topics including Weezie's inspiration for the crack story-line in Power Pack, June's awesome work on Captain Ginger and the changing world of the comics marketplace. We also found out a few surprises......and if you want to know what they are, you are going to have to listen to the episode. Trust me, listen to the episode, you will want to know the surprises.

Of course the majority of conversation was on Power Pack: Grow Up #1.

If you have not read the comic yet, beware:

THERE BE SPOILERS AHEAD!!

You have been warned. Also, we should warn you that this episode contains heaps of praise, a ton of respect, and an Infinity Stone's amount of love.

These two friends and co-workers have worked on many projects together and have nothing but respect for each other. And it was our pleasure to talk to them about this great book.

And in this book....Power Pack is back! The feel and the look of this comic is like falling back in time. So sit back and enjoy a trip down memory lane!
