Since this episode Kris Simon worked with me on another Cthulhu is Hard to Spell anthology, and became a group editor at IDW. Shelly has kept growing her company, and is doing tons of amazing work.
When I first set out to make this show, I made a dream list of people to get on my show and she was on the list! Then, friend of the pod Kris Simon edited an anthology with her called Insider Art.
So, this episode is a twofer, not only did one of my favorite humans, Kris Simon, co-editor of the Cthulhu is Hard to Spell: The Terrible Twos anthology, come on the show, but Shelly FRIGGING Bond came on the show, too.
If you don't know Shelly Bond's work, then just pick up any Vertigo title and there's a good chance her editing fingerprint is all over it. She helped mold and grow the Vertigo line and has worked on over 1,100 comics titles according to ComicsVine, along with rising up to become executive editor at Vertigo from 2013-2016 and having her own imprint at IDW called Black Crown.
She's a comics legend, basically.
If you don't remember Kris, she's edited just about everybody in comics as well, including me, which makes her Wannabe Press royalty.
