On this Flashback edition of Word Balloon from 2005 host John Siuntres chats with artist writer Walter Simonson, and looks back at his classic works. From Thor The Frog, and the creation of Beta Ray Bill, to Orion and New Gods; from his collaborations with Martin Pasko to put the bronze age spin on Dr. Fate, to reviving Manhunter with Archie Goowdwin.

The two also talk about his work on the Fantastic Four, his take on X-Factor (co-plotted with his wife Louise) and working on the Marvel Star Wars comic with David Michelene at that awkward time between The Empire Strikes Back, and Return Of The Jedi.

There's so much Simonson material just begging to be collected. And I'd love to see him back on this title:

One of his greatest creations

This is one of my favorite Bronze Age runs - a great take on Fate, and it also features some art by Keith Giffen.
