Bonus Undertow Discussion - Robert talks with comic book creator and illustrator Pete Taylor

In this episode of the podcast, Robert has a rare early morning conversation with small press comic creator and artist Pete Taylor on his history with the work of Brubaker and Phillips and the many real world comic industry references in the recently wrapped Criminal arc, Bad Weekend. Pete is a frequent contributor to the Lakes International Comic Art Festival Podcast and brings to light some absolutely fascinating details from what Brubaker calls the comic industry's long history of "sad tales and sordid gossip." This episode was recorded a few weeks ago before Criminal #4 was released, but adds a lot of context to the podcast's earlier conversation on Criminal #3.
