Episode description

Jace is joined by award winning artist, painter and frequent cover artist for the New Yorker magazine Eric Drooker. Eric talks about Naked City,  the third volume in his City graphic novel trilogy. Filled with relatable moments, it is the poignant story of three bohemians on the edge of the city struggling to answer the question: Is it possible to survive as an in the 21st century? Jace and Eric get into the character, motivations and perspective of the three main characters and also discuss how their struggles can relate to anyone trying to just survive in the modern world when so much wealth is in the hand of so few. The guys also talk about Eric's visual choices when it comes to the sequential art and letting the images carry the story with minimal dialogue. It's a fantastic discussion and an OGN you shouldn't miss.
