 Jerry Robinson visits
        Sorry this episode was later then we liked it to be; but we had some website problems. This week we get a visit from comic book legend Jerry Robinson. Jerry Robinson was  one of the creative forces on Batman during the early years, best know for the creation of character like Robin ( Dick Grayson ) and the Joker. After his time in comics he created the Cartoonists & Writers Syndicate/CartoonArts International. He talks about this and other events in his career, including his efforts to help out artist in other parts of the world making a living.  This is a great interview for anyone that ever wanted to hear stories of the early days of comics and how things have changed since then.
         We would like to thank Jerry and don't forget to check out his biography Jerry Robinson: Ambassador of Comics, for more about the book check out the amazon link here; www.amazon.com/Jerry-Robinson-Ambassador-Christopher-Couch/dp/0810977648
