This week on Let's Talk Comics, Tim Seeley joins the show to talk about how he got his parents to drive him from Wisconsin to Chicago to meet the Image Comics founders and how coming home with a Spawn shirt signed by Todd McFarlane made him know exactly where he wanted to make comics. 

We go through Tim's early days drawing G.I. Joe at Devil's Due and how a sick day spent watching slasher movies gave him the idea for Hack/Slash. He shares the one-sentence pitch he and Mike Norton used to sell Revival and explains how a box of sketches his mom saved put a superhero he'd invented as a kid into the pages of Local Man.

Tim also gets into The Princess Murders, his new series with Local Man collaborator Tony Fleecs. Tim pitched Tony a fairy tale where the wicked stepsister and a fairy godmother have to solve a princess's murder. And yes, there are musical numbers.

Tim is a creator full of stories, and you get some of them right here in this episode. Check it out, tell a friend and enjoy the ride.
