November 8, 2026 · 1 h 16 min

Show notes

Today we're spending time with one of the great inkers in comic book history, Joe Rubinstein, whose incredible career spans more than five decades and includes collaborations with some of the biggest names in the business.

Joe's work helped define the look of some of Marvel and DC's most memorable stories, including Frank Miller's groundbreaking Wolverine miniseries, his work with Jim Starlin on The Infinity Gauntlet, and his contributions to The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, where he inked an astonishing gallery of characters drawn by many of the industry's finest artists.

But Joe is much more than an inker. He's a storyteller, an artist, a historian of the craft, and a guy who's never been shy about expressing his opinions on the comic book business.
