We were so eager to record this episode that we forgot to do a cold open and the introduction! What we did record is an entertaining discussion of Edgar Allan Poe’s masterpiece, The Raven. 

While we break down the poem in style and structure, we also discuss how it came to be, its influences, the life of Poe after writing The Raven, and some writers he influenced. We also talk about some of his other notable works. 

DBS #141: Discussing The Best Non-Superhero Comics Of The 2020s Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

We begin today's cold open by complaining about awful book influencers who charge a lot of money for terrible book reviews. Then we read an excerpt from Lonesome Dove! After all that, we settle in and talk about the best non-superhero comic books of the 2020s, or at least according to a list we found. You can follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @dpwpodcast. You can check out Caleb's work at http://www.calebjamesk.com.
