Superhero Comics with Judd Winick

So all 3 of us were fan-personing over today's guest. It's Judd Winick, cartoonist, author of the kid graphic novel series "Hilo", and also an alum of The Real World: San Francisco. He is a wonderful artist and heck of a nice person, and he talked to us about superhero comics (among other stuff). Fun doesn't describe enough the time we had recording this. OOH! Judd's latest "Hilo Book 10: Rise of the Cat" comes out TODAY, 2/27/2024 and you should get it. Enjoy.

JUDD WINICK is a cartoonist and creator of the award-winning, New York Times bestselling Hilo series. Judd grew up on Long Island with a healthy diet of doodling, X-Men comics, the newspaper strip Bloom County, and Looney Tunes. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, and today lives in San Francisco with his wife, Pam Ling; their two kids; their cats, Troy and Abed; and far too many action figures and vinyl toys for a normal adult. Judd has written and produced animation for television and film, created the Cartoon Network series Juniper Lee; has written superhero comics, including Batman, Green Lantern, and Green Arrow; and, along with his wife Pam, was a cast member of MTV’s The Real World: San Francisco. Judd is also the author of the highly acclaimed graphic novel Pedro and Me, about his Real World roommate and friend, AIDS activist Pedro Zamora.
