Nat’s new video series

I’ve just launched a new video series, Comics Show and Tell with Nat Gertler. This will look at interesting and obscure aspects of comics (broadly considered), from my quirky point of view. The first two episodes (only one of which is released so far) deal with forgotten early African American superheroes, but there will be episodes coming up focusing on Peanuts-y items… really, I’ll have to fight to make sure they don’t take over the series altogether, since I already have plenty of things I’ve done for the blog or the podcast. If it sounds interesting, give it a try, and hey, hit the subscribe button!
