Creannotators #67: “Strange Adventures” with artist Evan “Doc” Shaner!

November 16, 2021 by Dave Leave a Comment

This week on Creannotators, I talk Strange Adventures with artist Doc Shaner. We talk about his feelings towards DC’s Adam Strange, the unique approach of sharing pages with artist Mitch Gerads, and Doc’s love of Aquaman: King of Atlantis. Plus a bunch more!

Some spoilers for Strange Adventures follow!

On Comic Book Herald’s ‘Creannotators’ I’ll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic novels or series, looking for their insights on the inspirations behind the work and ideas or hidden material readers may have missed. Creannotators is an audio annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics!
