Norm is probably best known for his groundbreaking and influential run on Detective Comics and Batman (from the late 80's to early 90's), and helped create such iconic characters as The Ventriloquist / Scarface, Anarky, and Victor Zsasz. But Norm has had a long and interesting career, and we at The Basement were very excited to hear about what he has been up to lately. From a fallout with DC Comics, to technical manuals, work with Malibu comics, his new work with Archie Comics, and becoming a writer, Norm was gracious and open enough to discuss everything we threw at him. You can keep up with Mr. Breyfogle at: http://www.normbreyfogle.com/ And check out his impressive comic resume here: http://www.comicbookdb.com/creator.php?ID=739 It was a true pleasure to talk to one of our favorite creators!

Reviews for this week: Creepy #1 and Blackest Night #1 Musical Selection: Fire At Midnight, by Jethro Tull (the album Songs From The Wood) In this very special episode, we all left our parents basements to go somewhere we've never been.......... OUTDOORS! We all joined together (except the sadly absent Jim) and decided to go camping. To make it even more scary, we decided to sit around the campfire and review scary comics! Join us - and many awesome special guests - as we wax nostalgic about horror comics, talk about the dark side of Geoff Johns, and roast marshmallows! Cally steps up his quest to be offensive to everyone with his most racist joke ever (which may or may not be in this podcast)! Please note: Cally's opinions and jokes in no way represent Tales From The Parents Basement, the other contributors of the show, or that of any of Tales From The Parents Basement's subsidiary companies. We also profess our undying love for Wednesday's Comics, Accent UK, and Dan Fraga.

Dan is the best sport in the world and was kind enough to email us after our bashing (but mostly Spence's bashing- haha) of his book in a past episode. We were truly delighted to chat with him, as he shared awesome stories of his start in the comics business, the old days with Image Comics, and he also made us feel more than justified in our constantly making fun of Rob Liefeld. Dan's career has taken him into many exciting areas, including music, music videos, and movies. Dan also informs us that he is returning to comics soon, and gives us some details about his upcoming projects! But there's more! Dan himself does the Cold Storage review!

Boo-yah! Reviews for this week: Battle For The Cowl #1 and Ghost Rider #33 Cold Storage Review: Howard the Duck #1 In Issue 15 we are joined by Mark again, as well as Nate (who gives another live review, this time of BKVâs Pride of Baghdad) for a whole bunch of Watchmen discussions and assorted tomfoolery. Join us as we all really hate on one comic review and are split about the lameness/awesomeness of another. Plus, Ryan is shocked and touched deeply as Mark and Spence make a startling and astounding admission (which also threatens his very existence on the podcast). Also, please enjoy new calls from the Comic Book Virgin (HOORAY!) as well as a threatening phone call to Cally from one of the thugs on Spenceâs other inferior podcast (BOOO!), and of course reviews, Top 3 Lists, some boob talk, and etcâ Programming note: This podcast will also go down in history as the greatest podcast recording session ever because Spenceâs awesome wife Heidi baked some excellent cookies for us during the recording.
