Episode 162: David Avallone

André has a fun chat with an imaginative creator who overlaps with many of our hosts interests!

David Avallone is a prolific writer and filmmaker known for his sharp wit and deep roots in pulp and comic history. He has gained widespread acclaim for his work on iconic licensed titles like Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, Bettie Page, and The Shadow.

In the indie scene, David is the co-creator of the acclaimed series Drawing Blood alongside Kevin Eastman. The project offers a meta-fictional look at the comic industry and famously features the internal creation Radically Rearranged Ronin Ragdolls. With a professional background in film production, David brings a unique, cinematic energy to every script, whether he is exploring supernatural noir or hard-boiled detective fiction.

David discusses when directors misinterpret the intention of the writer, shifting his film making skills into the world of comics, the beauty of intertwined universes and as a child having his famous pulp writer father tell him fairy tales with a world war 2 bend.
