  I really dig this idea of giving a casual history of stuff in the comics industry. I'd love to see more videos like this on different subjects.

  Oh my God. This an entire hour of Sal ranting about Image, McFarlane, and Spawn and it just might be the greatest episode of Back Issues ever.

  I want to say this was back in 1995 but my friend and I went to a convention that was going on pretty close to us and McFarlane was going to be there, so of course I took my Spawn issues and ASM #300 to get signed.  We got there and they had messed up our room reservation so they gave us another room, little did we know it was right next door to Todd's room, so I got all my stuff signed before the con started.  I'm glad I did because while everyone else was waiting in line that stretched almost completely around the room, I spent pretty much the entire portion of the con talking to and helping run the booth for a wonderful couple I met, Golden Age artist and Alan Scott Green Lantern creator Mart Nodell and his wife.  I'll never forget the hug his wife gave me as we were leaving that Sunday when she told me I had made the entire weekend for Mart because for that weekend he felt like what he had done mattered and made a difference.

  The HBO Show was so awesome. Keith David is a legend.

  Sal's ability to do spot on impersonations of comic creators is fucking awesome and hilarious.

  I swear, the entire inception of Image Comics has to be one of the most fascinating aspects of comic book history to this very day

  <b>Morrison:</b> &quot;And Heaven is this realm that&apos;s full of machines and circuitry and computers!&quot;<br>&quot;That&apos;s an interesting concept, Grant.&quot;<br><b>Morrison:</b> &quot;It&apos;s not a concept. I was there.&quot;<br>&quot;...&quot;<br><i>Elsewhere:</i><br><b>Officer:</b> &quot;And you say this rambling Scottish man came into your university&apos;s computer room and, uh...&apos;started molesting all of our computers&apos;?&quot;<br>&quot;Yes, that&apos;s right.&quot;<br><b>Officer:</b> &quot;And on a scale of 1 to 10, how naked was he?&quot;<br>&quot;Uhhhhh...Too. He was too naked.&quot;
