San Diego Comic-Con is kind of like the Nerd Oscars: very glitzy with stars of top-grossing comics-based movies and awards galore.

The Eisner Awards are the highest honor in comics. This year's winner of the Eisner for Best Comic-related Book is Michigan-born writer and critic Douglas Wolk. Last year Wolk consumed some twenty-seven-thousand comic books — the entirety of Marvel Comics’ output spanning more than half a century. He wrote a book about it: All of the Marvels. This episode is a rerun.

GUEST:

Douglas Wolk, writer, critic, and journalist
