Today's guest on the CMassPolitics Podcast is Scott Harris, author and illustrator of the new comic book The Crimebusters. We discuss his revival of Chuck Chandler, character from the 1940s and '50s era Boy Comics, the challenges of writing a series based in the mid-50s with 21st century sensibilities, the world of self-publishing, and the effect the internet and digital distribution has had on consumers and collectors of comic books. More information on The Crimebusters can be found at crimebustercomics.com, and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/crimebustercomics. This episode of the CMassPolitics podcast was recorded to work out the kinks. As such, some of the transitions are a little rough and it's pretty obvious where I re-recorded a couple of questions. Despite that, I figured, "What the hell, might as well publish it anyway." Hopefully this gets off the ground and turns into a regular conversation about politics in the commonwealth; in the mean time, here's an episode about comic books.
