This week, we’re traveling to Ancient Greece with Eric Shanower’s epic Age of Bronze series. Shanower first began his story way back in the Dark Ages of 1998. And yes, he’s still working on the series 20 years later. It’s that big. After a break from the series – during which time he worked on projects such as the Oz series for Marvel and Little Nemo: Return to Slumberland for IDW – he’s going back to Age of Bronze. To the beginning and to the future.

There’s a new edition of Volume 1 – A Thousand Ships – that features vibrant colors by Harvey Award-nominated creator John Dallaire. After 20 years of black-and-white storytelling, the politics and passion of Age of Bronze is getting the colorized treatment. At the same time, Shanower is continuing with issue 34 (issue 33 came out in July 2013) and pushing the story out further.

On this episode, Shiri and I talk to Eric about working on Age of Bronze for 20 years – where it’s come from, where it’s going, and how it’s changed – simultaneously going back to the beginning of the story and moving forward, and working in the classic sandboxes of Oz and Dreamland with Little Nemo.
