From Classic Books to Comic Books (Ep. 021)

In this week’s episode, host Jay Douglas prepares you for the holiday season by revisiting the joy of reading, and sharing that joy with your kids and grandkids.

Listen as Dave Kellett and Fred Schroeder, co-producers of the documentary Stripped talk about the past, present and future of the comics.
