Around Comics Ep 230 - Is that you pig?

Chris and Sal welcome artist and international man of mystery Tony Akins to the panel. Fables and Jack of Fables fans get an inside look into the wonderful world of Vertigo's two runaway hit series. Tony talks about the differences between comics work and the commercial advertising world, and how comics keep bringing him back for more. There's a big crossover event starting in Fables this month, and we lay it out for you between stories about contested elections, Brian Bolland's moat, moon pies and Michael Bay's Moby Dick starring Sam Jackson.
