Comic Corps
A weekly post-con-style roundtable romp with some of the most outspoken (yet still employed) creators in comics. Show biz war stories. State of the comic union. Furious debates over ‘80s televisions shows. Great lobster bisque recipes. Something for everybody.
Episode 106 - Rylend and David talk with comic book attorney and business consultant Gamal Hennessy about incorporation and the ins and outs of creator contracts.

DAVID AVALLONE
David has kicked around Hollywood for over thirty-five years and still has some of his sanity left. In addition to a long career spent mostly in indie films, he writes comics. He's mostly known for writing pulp heroes like VAMPIRELLA, THE SHADOW, DOC SAVAGE, ZORRO, JOHN CARTER and creating kick-ass comic adventures for real world icons BETTIE PAGE and ELVIRA, MISTRESS OF THE DARK. Currently he’s also writing for the animated series BATWHEELS on MAX/Cartoon Network. He's particularly proud of his original comics, DRAWING BLOOD and RADICALLY REARRANGED RONIN RAGDOLLS, co-created with some nobody named Kevin (coughTMNTcough) Eastman. He is the second best-dresssed man in comics, which might be a pretty low bar.
