Special SquadCast Interview with Writer Joel Meadows

Posted on by Bob Harrison

In our latest exclusive interview, we sat down and talked with Joel Meadows. He has been in the comic industry for over thirty years as the publisher of Tripwire Magazine, and he is now about to have his first graphic novel as a writer released.

We spent some time talking about his latest project Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders: Gene Genie, Vol. 1. that he has written with art from Andy Bennett. The book explores a new story in the world of the world’s most renowned detective. A black and white volume with covers by Mark Chiarello and Walter Simonson will be release later this year.

We also spent some time discussing Meadows’ career highlights as the publisher of Tripwire and his views on the state and future of comics.

You can watch the interview via our YouTube channel or listen to the audio on in our standard podcast platform.
