Bobby Campbell on Wayne's Comic Podcast


Bobby Campbell has begun a podcasting tour to promote Tales of Illuminatus and the Kickstarter project to support it. He has just appeared on episode 653 of Wayne's Comic Podcast., explaining the Illuminatus! trilogy and how he is adapting it into a comic book. He also talks about the RAW community which has tried to keep Robert Anton Wilson's work alive. Bobby's interpretation of the characters and and the scheme of  the work is interesting. 

The host, Wayne Hall, is an active and engaged interviewer, and he talks about spotting the statue of Tlaloc the Rain God mentioned in the book during a visit to Mexico and getting a copy of the statue. "It's a perfect example of how people get into this stuff," says Bobby, who said a picture of the statue reminded him of Jack Kirby. 

Lots of other podcasts available from  Wayne. "Wayne Hall creates the Wayne's Comics Podcast. He’s interviewed Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, John Layman, Kyle Higgins, Phil Hester, Jimmy Palmiotti & Justin Gray, David Petersen, Christos Gage, Mike Grell, and Matt Kindt. On this site each week, he writes his 'Comics Portal' column (general comics comments and previews) and reviews comics."
