The Walking Dead's Charlie Adlard joins us this week to talk comic books, kaiju and the iconic art of Saul Bass. Together we check out Bass' sole feature as a director, Phase IV (1974), followed by Destroy All Monsters (1968), directed by Ishiro Honda.
It's not really possible to spoil Destroy All Monsters but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Phase IV. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:14:28 mark to avoid spoilers.
