Welcome to another installment of The Hour Cosmic, your favorite comics game show! This week, our guest is artist of Oni's new "The Life After," Gabo!

On this week’s show, among other things, we discuss:

- The practicality of 103 creators sharing one Eisner!

- How many "Simpsons" comic titles sound like Cure songs!

- The unchanging majesty of Kilowog!

Let's meet our guest, shall we?





Gabo is a Chicago-based artist (real name: Gabriel Bautista), about to launch "The Life After" with writer Joshua Hale Fialkov for Oni and the artist for "Albert the Alien" with writer Trevor Mueller for Thrillbent. He is also an accomplished colorist, having worked on both "The Spirit" and "All-Star Western" for DC, the Eisner-winning anthology "Comic Book Tattoo" for Image, and has penciled pieces in both "Elephantmen" and "Popgun" for Image. He is also the creator of the comics battling site EnterVoid.com. You can find him on Twitter (@galvosaur), on Facebook, or on his website, and he is a part of the BroFu artist collective.
