Episode 1539 - Celebrating John Cassaday Part 1

Comic News Insider

Our dear friend John Cassaday passed away on September 9th. As many know, Jimmy was one of his best pals. As you can imagine, he is devastated. We are doing a couple of special episodes to honor his memory. John was a big supporter of our podcast from the very beginning. He came on only a handful of times or so in the early days and let us find our feet after that. He was always one to let his work speak for itself and we respected that. We put together a compilation of some of the episodes he was on including Episodes 18, 50, 100 and 200. As said, early days. We think you'll love hearing John talk about his work back then as these date from 2005-2009. Such an incredibly talented and kind man. One of the best comic book artists ever and a true friend. His work will live on.

Next episode, Jimmy asked some of John's friends/colleagues to send in their memories of him. How they met, his work, a favorite story and more. Jimmy talks of their friendship and shares a few stories as well. It will be an emotional one for sure. Come back later this week to listen.
