For some time now I've wanted to do a Women In Comics Feature on the podcast and it has finally arrived to celebrate Women's History Month. What better guest could I have on to hang out with me to kick things off than comics and television writer Josie Campbell. Josie has penned some of the most iconic cartoon characters ever: My Adventures With Superman, She-Ra Princesses Of Power, New Looney Toons, and now she's taking over the comics medium with the comics adaptation of My Adventures With Superman and Shazam with DC Comics and the GLAAD nominated series I Heart Skullcrusher from Boom Studios. This is a wide ranging chat touching on all three of those projects as well as taking the temperature of where the medium is at in terms of representing women, our shared crush on Lori Terry playing Tank Girl, her love of Superman, why duality and hope are so intrinsic to her writing style, and sharing a laugh or two at some of our childhood influences.
You can find her online on most social media platform @cozyjamble or visit her website at https://cozyjamble.com.
My Adventures With Superman
From the publisher
Flying from the screen to the page, it’s Superman! The hit Adult Swim animated series gets an all-new comic book adventure—bridging the gap between seasons one and two, and told by the head writer of the show!
In 2023, My Adventures with Superman debuted on Adult Swim, dazzling viewers with a fresh, anime-inspired take on the Superman mythos—while retaining the enduring qualities of the Man of Steel, and his friends and enemies!
Picking up from the explosive end of season one, Clark’s about to spend Christmas alone in Metropolis. Though he’s feeling a bit down and out, a tip about a monster in the sewers sends Superman, Lois, and Jimmy into action! But what is this monster that can absorb anything it touches, and why is it here in Metropolis? And when a mysterious android is captured by a covert military group, Superman realizes he can’t just bust through a government facility and take what he wants—this is a job for mild-mannered journalist Clark Kent!
Written by the head writer of My Adventures with Superman, Josie Campbell, and drawn by Pablo M. Collar, this collection brings the hit show to comics for the first time!
This volume collects My Adventures with Superman #1-6.
I Heart Skullcrusher
From the publisher
Teenage Trini will do anything to compete in her favorite sport, Screaming Pain Ball, alongside her longtime hero Skull-Crusher, and a gaggle of misfits is just what she needs to cross the American wastes and battle in Queen Mob’s deadly tournament. With Trini’s dreams of being just like Skull-Crusher on the line, what will it take to win a coveted spot on their team? With hope in her heart and an icepick in her hand, Trini will never stop chasing her dreams… and taking us along for the funniest, queerest, craziest, bloodiest underdog tale of all time. Breakout writer of DC’s Amazons Attack event and screenwriter Josie Campbell (Wonder Woman, She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power) along with rising star artist Alessio Zonno (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) bring sports action to post-apocalyptic America with enough comic relief at its brutal heart to keep anyone along for the ride!
