Joe Corallo and I have a great discussion with writer and comics editor Paul Kupperberg, who over his career has written well over a thousand comics for several companies, but most key DC and Archie. A fascinating discussion into the comics industry, how to break in, and what it's like writing many of the most recognizable characters in the world.
