Today’s episode is a deep-dive interview with one of Canada’s longtime pop culture tastemakers Mark Askwith, a producer, writer, reader and at one point, a critical seller and recommender of comic books. As a small town kid visiting Toronto for the first time in the early 80s, Randall’s client – storekeeper discussions with Mark, who was managing The Silver Snail, were critical introductions to any number of artists, writers, characters and titles. Mark went on to signal boost his influence at Prisoners of Gravity and SPACE, setting a high bar for Canadian pop culture journalism and documentary… Special thanks to our good friends at Covrprice: the Ultimate Tool for comic collectors and speculators.

261. Prisoners of Gravity (with Rick Green, Mark Askwith, Gregg Thurlbeck)

As one of the founders of the Space Channel and a producer on the homegrown genre fiction culture show Innerspace,  Mark Askwith has more than made his mark in the long history of comic book fandom in Canada. (Although, he” far too humble to agree on that fact.) He has personal ties to the likes of Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore and Frank Miller. He is also a staple in the history of Canadian comic book television with the seminal “Prisoners of Gravity,” and was a pioneering manager of The Silver Snail comic store in the 1980s. Aaron delves into Mark’s personal and professional history, and learns Mark’s simple but effective philosophy of creating, sharing and promoting content based on nothing but his genuine passion for genre fiction
