I love comic books. Even more than that, I love the history behind the comic books. I soak up magazines like "Alter Ego" and "Back Issue" like sponges. I can never get enough of the stories behind the comics. And as independent filmmaker from Cleveland Ohio, I decided to put my two loves together. Why not film a interview of one these comic book legends for a DVD? I mean, just imagine if we had this kind of interview with people like Jack Kirby, Bob Kane, Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster? People like that and those story's are now gone forever. So I decided something needed to be done!

A few months ago I was lucky enough to sit down with comic book legend Gerry Conway, he had just been a guest at the Akron Comic con, After the Convention, we set up my camera at his hotel room and and we talked for almost four hours. We covered his entire career. Topics include:

How he got started writing comics
Killing Gwen Stacy and Green Goblin
Creating the Punisher
Becoming editor in chief of Marvel comics
DC/Marvel crossovers
Creating new characters
Justice League Detroit
Some incredible Stan Lee story's
And so much more!!!!!

You can pre-order the DVD on our Kickstarter page. We have unsigned copies $20.00, and signed copies by Gerry Conway for only $30.00. Here's a small preview of the interview
