   Episode 186: Jamie S. Rich: Romancing the Canine

   In this episode, I talk with Jamie S. Rich, Editor-in-Chief of Ignition Press. We cover this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Ignition Press’s first anniversary, and the series Jamie is writing, The Dogsitter. I’ve been doing this podcast since 2017, and it's great to know that even after almost ten years, there are still so many editors with stories I can tell. Jamie’s is one of them.

   For this new episode of CROPPED, Will Dennis and I have a fun conversation about 1972’s THE GETAWAY. Directed by Sam Peckinpah, starring Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw, and written by Jim Thompson and Walter Hill, we discussed what comic book creators could learn from Peckinpah’s work in crafting something more than just a crime genre programmer.
