Welcome to Geektown Interviews: Judd Winick (Part 3; Finale)

in

We wrap up my interview with Judd Winick by starting on his decision to bring back Jason Todd (the 2nd Robin) from the dead as The Red Hood, then move on to his work during the New 52 at DC, the animated shows he worked on, and finally get to his decade-plus work writing and drawing the Hilo series of books. But first, a remembrance for another comics book professional who left us too soon.

Graphic novel and original movie: Judd wrote both.

The Jeff Smith quote is particularly apropos, considering how he helped inspire the series.

The show that Judd created, mixing mythology and modern adventure. (Yes, he calls out Buffy as an influence…)

In this 2nd of three parts of my interview with Judd Winick, we talk about his time on The Real World, the doors that opened and how he grew as a storyteller from writing about his experiences, leading to his comic book work for DC (and a little Marvel).

I can spend that extra three cents. Give me the lowdown, Frump.

I can’t recommend reading this enough. One of the great autobiographical works, especially in graphic novel form.

Yeah, he’s basically a superhero. But no tights.

Well, there’s that song stuck in my head for a while…

Starting at the very beginning of Judd Winick’s life, part one of this interview continues through to his college days, the value of an art education, and his early comic strip, “Nuts & Bolts.”

The Unflappable Judd Winick. (Seriously, there’s no flapping this guy)
