76. James Romberger (Post York, For Real, 7 Miles a Second)

New York based writer, artist and cartoonist James Romberger makes his first appearance on Wits’ End.

Romberger’s comics work has appeared in Marvel, DC/Vertigo, Fantagraphics, Uncivilized Books, Dark Horse Comics & others. Outside of comics, Romberger’s pastel drawings of the Lower East Side have appeared in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Brooklyn Museum in New York City, among other exhibitions.

Wits' End host Shah Emami and Romberger talk about Jack Kirby's upbringing and influence, his Jack Kirby biographical comic FOR REAL, rights of artists, the Hernandez Bros., Romberger’s upcoming graphic novel POST YORK from Dark Horse Comics, his time working at Marvel, the now defunct Slave Labor Graphics publisher & more.

Here is the POST YORK description from Dark Horse Comics:

The polar ice caps have melted, and New York City is flooded beyond recognition. An independent loner, along with his cat and only friend, struggles to live another day in this makeshift community, populated mostly by outsiders like himself while the depraved elite thrive ruthlessly on the outskirts. But his world is disrupted when he encounters both a mysterious woman and a trapped blue whale. Will they be each other's salvation. . . or destruction? 

Experimentally told and unequivocally told, Post York contains bonus materials including an environmental fact sheet, afterword, full-color art section, and more.

POST YORK will be released March 10, 2021.
