The Felix Comic Art Podcast (Episode 60): David Mandel & Daniel Warren Johnson & The L.A. Fires
If a fire is threatening your collection, what pieces do you save? How do you make impossible choices in an instant? Hopefully you'll never have to face this collector's nightmare. But David Mandel did. Yes, we bring Dave back on the show one month after the LA fires. Hear what he did, what he saved first, and what he's learned from the experience. It's an edge-of-your-seat account with perhaps the world's greatest collection of original comic art and movie props at stake...thanks for enduring PTSD for our listeners, Dave! Plus, Daniel Warren Johnson joins us in a lighter discussion with Dave on comics, art, STAR WARS, and more! It's our third episode in two weeks...happy bingeing!

The Felix Comic Art Podcast (Episode 57): ABSOLUTE BATMAN #1
Our art drop for Nick Dragotta's ABSOLUTE BATMAN #1 last month set an absolute record for a modern comic...and shook the hobby to its core. Now, hear how it all went down, with two collectors who were there: Chris Killackey and Brant Boersma. Was it all folly, foolishness, FOMO? Or just another Felix drop? Listen and decide for yourselves! Thanks to Chris and Brant for risking ridicule and sharing their thoughts! Enjoy!

The Felix Comic Art Podcast (Episode 56): Jim Halperin / SDCC 2024 / DWJ
SDCC is the greatest spectacle in comics fandom. The Felix Comic Art Podcast is...a podcast about original comic art. But we're at SDCC! And we're bringing you a new episode! First up is Jim Halperin, co-founder and co-chairman of Heritage Auctions. It's his third time with us, and as before, he answers every question. He shies away from nothing. Pretty damn impressive for the most important man in the comic art market! Thanks, Jim! But there's more! We also bring back past favorite guests for an impromptu chat about oddball art we're all hoping to find. All tips on locating anything we talk about is welcome and appreciated! Finally, DWJ just won Eisner Awards for Best Writer/Artist and Best Series for TRANSFORMERS. Arguably the two biggest Eisners a series can win...for a toy comic. Only DWJ. We had a comprehensive panel last month, and you'll get to hear it here. Congrats, Dan! A three-parter! Enjoy!
