Professional wrestling and comics are perhaps two of the purest art forms known to humanity, and much like the proverbial peanut butter and chocolate, when smashed together end up being quite tasty indeed. This episode of Serious Fun speaks with Lan Pitts, one such confectioner of this treat and writer for Boom! Studios' WWE comics series. Bryan and Lan talk about writing for comics, finding the story in professional wrestling, the mythic storytelling possibilities of The Million Dollar Man and Razor Ramon, Pitts' original work, and so much more in a wide-ranging interview. Everyone has a price, but luckily yours...is free! Listen now.
