The Felix Comic Art Podcast proudly welcomes the Prince of All Media to the show...it's David Choe! This was one of the most fun chats we've ever done. Thanks to Dave for inviting us to his studio and opening up about comic art like never before! Check out his companion Show-and-Tell video on YouTube: As you can see, Dave has GREAT taste! Enjoy!

What does a STAR WARS X-Wing model selling for $3.1M have do with comic art? Listen to the latest episode of The Felix Comic Art Podcast and find out!   We welcome back David Mandel, the winner of that record-setting X-Wing auction. Who also happens to own one of the most impressive collections of original comic art ever assembled. Thanks to that X-Wing, a treasure trove of comic art will soon be hitting the market. Get the scoop on the pieces that you’ll be seeing at Heritage’s January auction…and beyond! Plus all the unfiltered hobby talk you’ve come to expect from the show. Happy holidays, everyone!

We're back! Thank you all for your patience during our break. But I believe with my latest guest, Ken Viola, that the wait was worth it. What drives this podcast more than anything are the collector stories. Having been a collector since the 1950s, it's safe to say that Ken has witnessed and experienced more than most in this hobby. Not many can say they were friends with Steve Ditko, or got to hang Frank Frazetta's Egyptian Queen painting in their parents' home, or can lay claim to being the OG Alan Moore art collector. Or produce a documentary featuring Will Eisner, Frank Miller, Moebius, Neal Adams, Bernie Wrightson, and other comics legends. And that's just scratching the surface.  We're going to bring Ken back down the road for part two...for now, enjoy your intro to Ken Viola!

"If you buy one or two nice pieces a year, in 20 years you'll have a great collection." Words of wisdom from our esteemed guest, Richard Martines. A collector of over 40 years, listen in as Richard shares his experiences and insights from our crazy hobby. Listen and learn! Part two is my appearance on the Pixels and Panels Podcast. Not quite Richard-level, but hey, we needed to fill out this episode! Two hours of non-stop comic art talk, enjoy!

At San Diego Comic-Con 2017, we managed to secure a chat with the most influential figure in our hobby: Jim Halperin of Heritage Auctions. At San Diego Comic-Con 2022...he returns. And he saved a blockbuster scoop just for the occasion. We follow up our talk with Jim with a round table breaking it all down. Joining me are veteran panelists Andy Robbins and Yo Kuri. It's two straight hours of pure comic art conversations, like you'll get nowhere else. Enjoy!  

The original art cover for Frank Miller's THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS #1 has just sold at auction for 2.4 million dollars...and who better to talk to us about it than the King of DKR art collectors, David Mandel. Hear Dave's take on the art, the auction, and what it all means for the OA hobby at large. As usual, Dave doesn't hold back! To the point where we may be asked to take this down. It's happened before. So listen while you can! That's all in the first hour. As a bonus we've also included two recent podcasts from our friends Christian Monggaard and Casey Lau. Their guest? It's Dave again! So if you just can't get enough Dave, we've got FOUR more hours for you! Thanks to Christian and Casey for letting us share their shows! It's DKR. It's Dave Mandel. Enjoy!

Two weeks on, and the record sale at auction is still what everyone's talking about. So The Felix Comic Art Podcast returns with Chuck Costas, THE hobby expert on SECRET WARS and G.I. JOE. And also personal friend of artist Mike Zeck. Chuck shares his insights on what went down exclusively here. Thanks Chuck! Part two is an episode of The Hyper Room, hosted by tech guru Casey Lau. Casey grills me on the hobby, the market, collecting, and all things original comic art. Thanks to Casey for allowing us to share it with our audience here. An extra-long episode this time out, enjoy!

Our first episode of 2022 features show regular Gene Park and a discussion centered around that beloved '80s fan-favorite, G.I. JOE #21! The reason? Because Gene owns the complete interiors...and the cover has just now hit auction! We talk to Gene before and after the big event. And the auction is even bigger than we had anticipated...besides the huge sale of the G.I. JOE #21 cover, it also featured an absolute jaw-dropper: The record-setting $3.36 million sale of a single comic panel page. Of course, we had to talk about that, too! We close out this episode with a chat I had with Danish author/film critic, Christian Monggaard (ROBERT CRUMB: I CAN'T DO PRETTY), on his podcast. We talk about all things comic art. Thanks to Christian for allowing me to share this with our audience! Enjoy the show!

Our roundtable episodes are some of our most popular, so welcome back Gene Park and Andy Robbins along with new guest Yo Kuri!   We got together to talk about NYCC, the first major convention since the pandemic. But, as usual, it ends up being a deeper dive into the hobby. Hear about recent auctions, the MIRACLEMAN #1 cover recreation hubbub, the emergence of a new class of collectors, and more! Thanks as always for listening, enjoy!

Many years ago, I predicted Dinesh Shamdasani would make an impact in the comic art hobby. It took longer than I expected, but the impact has also been far greater. Hear his story now, how he became the "first appearance" guy...and what really went down with the ULTIMATE FALLOUT #4 cover. All that and more on the latest episode of The Felix Comic Art Podcast! Thanks, Dinesh!
