793: Milton Lawson on ORSON WELLES: WARRIOR OF THE WORLDS

Robots From Tomorrow!

Orson Welles wore many hats in his day: filmmaker, actor, writer, producer, pitch man, raconteur . . . the list goes on and on. But what can only be told now is that you can add ‘defender of the Earth’ to that list as well.

According to Milton Lawson’s Orson Welles: Warrior of the Worlds comics project, illustrated by Renton Hawley and finally debuting from Scout Comics on August 16th, the thespian led a secret life keeping this planet safe from invaders from not only Mars, but all around the galaxy. Greg checked in with Milton to find out more about the book's long journey from idea to publication, and Welles’ life in general, both in front of and behind the camera.
