Episode 126: Dan McDaid

André always enjoys his conversations but this episode may be one of the funnest our host has had yet!

Dan McDaid debuted in Doctor Who Magazine with The First, a story featuring the Doctor and Ernest Shackleton. He reached the final three in Comic Book Idol (2007) and later co-created Jersey Gods for Image Comics. While Doctor Who was off-air, he wrote the 10th Doctor’s adventures, later collected in The Crimson Hand, introducing companion Majenta Pryce. He has worked with IDW, DC Comics, Dark Horse, Boom! Studios, Oni Press, and Panini Comics. For DC Comics, he recently illustrated Shazam! He also collaborated with cult writer Irvine Welsh on IDP:2043 and Dead Men's Trousers. 

Dan talks about finding American comics in the U.K. Why Scotland is the mecca for comics in Europe and how reading an early Superman story where The Man of Steel encountered God chilled him to his catholic bones.
