Dan Brereton is, simply put, a terrific artist. Inspired by some of the early painters drawn to comic book work in the early 90s, Dan brought an entirely new look to Superman and Batman, Robin, and Batgirl, to name a few. He wrote and painted his own creator-owned team called The Nocturnals and continues to stun with his unique, inimitable style.

Jamar Nicholas is one of those people who simply radiates good will and good vibes. His varied career in comics has taken many shapes over the years; writer, artist, creator, teacher, administrator, he’s worn many hats. But also, that one hat. Here’s my chat with my dear friend, Jamar. And also listen for Doug’s impassioned plea for more of the artist’s Detective Boogaloo: Hip Hop Cop! Not even a little cringey, Doug.
