Dan Greenfield (13th Dimension)

In this episode, we sit down with Dan Greenfield, editor-in-chief of 13th Dimension and veteran comic book journalist, to explore his journey from a 5-year-old Batman fan to becoming one of the most respected voices in comics journalism today. Dan shares the origin story behind 13th Dimension and its mission covering comics, creators, and culture. We also discuss how comic journalism has evolved in the digital age, and what insights he's gleaned from interviews with legendary creators like Neal Adams and Chip Kidd. We dive into his particular obsession with Batman comics, tracing his love through the classic work of Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams up to modern runs by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, while also exploring how he balances nostalgia with contemporary coverage. Dan opens up about the challenges and rewards of running an independent comics website, his experiences covering conventions, and the current state of comic book criticism.
