b'I wish I was replaying this for a happy reason. Stunned by the news we lost Brian last weekend. 2022 has been pretty cruel. Listen to this great conversation with the man who co-created DC Elseworlds. From December of 2018...

Brian is here to talk about his Archie 1941 story. It\'s a poignant realistic look at The Riverdale gang dealing with the uncertain onset of WW2. Written by Augustyn and Mark Waid and drawn by Peter Krause, its a great story.

We also discuss the creation Gotham By Gaslight which became the first DC Elseworlds title, featuring a 19th century Batman taking on Jack The Ripper. Brian takes us through the whole creative process including encticing a pre-Hellboy Mike Mignola to the project. Great stories about DC Comics in the late 80s.
