Episode 562: Evan Quiring: Murder City Devil

This episode dives deep into the legend of the Murder City Devil by comic creator Evan Quiring. We explore the city’s eerie and supernatural backdrop for the comic, including some of our weird experiences: secret tunnels, ghost stories, hidden love letters in old walls, and the King’s Head in the Exchange District. We break down some of the inspirations within the comic, based on old lore and stories from yesteryear.

We also dive into comic culture itself — discussing timelines, character progression, and continuity wars: DC Comics vs Marvel Comics, the “Brand New Day” era, Captain Jean DeWolf, and remembering when Marvel “cinema” was “crap” in the ’70s and ’80s versus today. We talk Gregory Chomichuk, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby (as the Lennon & McCartney of comics), Bill Finger finally getting credit for Batman, and how creators are like bands. Plus: who would you cast in a Jack Kirby biopic?

Hi, I am Sean "SeanGeek" McGinity. And I am a geek. For me, the definition of the word geek comes from liking something so much, that I deep dive into it. Not just consuming it... but becoming it. I "geek out". Everything started with comics. I read them and studied them with a fine eye, and then started making my own. Since then, I have "geeked out" on movies (Star Wars The Evil WIthin, Hurt), music writing, recording, and performing (The Classic Embers and Dome), writing (the Symka comic and the upcoming Intuitives novel), and now... this Podcast.

Hey guys, SeanGeek here. Just to be clear, this is me geeking out on Todd "FastFretFingers" McGinity here. Todd is the GOAT. My brother is an established musician, mastering the Fretboard with a blistering discipline. If there was a guitar style, tone, pitch... Todd would find a way to replicate it. From his early days mastering Van Halen and Rush, his musical palate has expanded with forays into classical and flamenco, hard rock, blues and pop. From live performances to learning the recording process, when it comes to music, he has done it all.
