258. Ed Brubaker on writing, comics, and tv shows

Ed Brubaker needs no introduction to comic book fans. Ed is one of the most acclaimed writers in comics, having won the Eisner and Harvey Awards for Best Writer five times, among others. Ed shares his inspiration writing Pulp, Reckless, Friday, and Gotham Central. It was fascinating to hear his origin story on how he discovered comics and when his love for writing began.
