Talking Marvel's Top Slott

Dan Slott get's interviewed on the World Talk Radio, one of my favorite Marvel writers, Dan Slott, gets to discuss projects of the past, and those upcoming. While most likely categorized as a light-hearted and funny storyteller. I find him to be a versatile writer, and his work resonates with me, on several levels.

Dan Slott got his start working with Fabian Nicienza at Marvel Comics. From there, the scribe landed gigs on Ren and Stimpy and a few other projects. He was previously one of the writers on the animated Batman comic series, Batman Adventures. Slott has also worked on a limited series with Ryan Sook featuring the criminally insane element of Gotham City in Arkham Asylum Living Hell. Besides working in the Bat Universe, Slott's had his share of other cartoon characters with gigs on Powerpuff Girls, Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes, and Ren and Stimpy. The jump to Marvel would come only a little while later when he came to tackle Marvel Comics' Gamma girl, She-Hulk. It was quite obvious to those reading that Slott could handle the Marvel Universe with a humble mastery. Since then he has tackled the titans of team-up, the powerhouses of pranks and puns, Spider-Man and the Human Torch. Now hot on Slott's heels are his upcoming return to She-Hulk, an ongoing Thing series. And a number of other projects no doubt.

The show should begin somewhere close to 4 o'clock (CST). In honor of this show, I have compiled a list of internet interviews that have been conducted.

My only regret (you are still here right?). Is that I will not be able to call during the show, not that I know quite what I would say or ask. But I have found a site with his e-mail, so I might e-mail him after just to say what a great job he did. There might be a follow up to this later.
