Ep. 23: Don't Call It A Comeback! - It's JASON PEARSON

Jason Pearson really has been here for years and for good reasons. He's got a dynamic style that jumps off the page, a sharp eye for street level details and he draws hot, curvy chicks with big guns (umm…weapons). His big break in comics came in 1992 with Legion of Super Heroes just before he joined Gaijin Studios. In '96, his creator-owned series Body Bags hit the stands from Dark Horse and was a sleeper hit. However, during the book's climb to success, Pearson had some personal set backs that threw off his follow up to Bags. And even though he's worked consistently in comics since then, many thought he'd left the biz 'cause Body Bags was on such a long hiatus. Well now, after almost 10 years, Mack and Panda have returned wreaking havoc on all who deserve it (and a few who don't!). We caught up with Jason in between his many deadlines and talked about Alabama and 12 Gauge, changes within the industry, being 'Page-A-Day J' and how life is what happens to you when you're busy making comic books.
