The Felix Comic Art Podcast presents the ultimate episode for THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS original art fans with our special guest, Scott Free! Who is Scott Free?

Convention season is in full swing and this month, we're at the show of the year: San Diego Comic-Con! It's a chance to see friends from all over the world, so i get to sit down with someone from the other side of the country, Gene Park. Gene is a well-known name in the comic art hobby, perhaps most for his opinionated posts on the CGC message boards. As a professional investor, Gene often writes about the state of the market, both present and future. So this episode is very much centered...
