Nathan and Dave return for the latest episode of The Illustrated Fan with a special guest, "Vicious" Victor H. Rodriguez, author of 'The Sound of Fear', to talk arguably the greatest of all comic heroes, Batman.  The gang looks specifically at the animated films 'Batman: Mask of the Phantasm', 'Gotham by Gaslight' and 'Soul of the Dragon'.  We also consider the ways in which the Caped Crusader may be more uniquely suited to animation.  And we kick the show off by looking at two classic WB shorts, 'Duck Amok!' and 'One Froggy Evening!' We also announce our first giveaway!  To win DVD copies of both 'Waltz with Bashir' and 'Batman Ninja', just share this latest episode on FB or Twitter, or go over to Apple Podcasts and leave us a review! We will draw and announce the winner on the next episode of Illustrated Fan!  Enjoy the episode and leave your comments here or on the Facebook page, or reach out to us on Twitter!  Links for Victor Rodriguez: https://vhrodriguez.wordpress.com/ The Sound of Fear: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1694373576 On Time from Transmundane Press: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KBT7YY3 Inside the Sound of Fear: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-the-sound-of-fear/id1537169966 A reading of 'The Outsider' by H.P.
