#109: January 1969 (w/Jordan Morris and Tony Cliff) - "Galactus Is Born!"

Jordan Morris is one-half of Jordan, Jesse, Go!, one of the longest-running and funniest podcasts on the interwaves. He's also a brilliant comedy writer whose work can be most recently seen in Disney+'s Earth to Ned, which you should treat yourself to if you haven't already.

Tony Cliff is the creator of the Delilah Dirk series of graphic novels and the Eisner-nominated short story, Old Oak Trees.

Tony and Jordan have combined their considerable talents, along with those of co-writer Sarah Morgan and color artist Natalie Riess to adapt Jordan's scripted comedy podcast Bubble to a graphic novel. It's being solicited in the May issue of Previews, so get your orders into your local comics shop TODAY!
