Dean is a part of Trip City, a site dedicated to showcasing amazing art of all forms, including original comics. Dean is the artist for Harvey Pekar's The Quitter; The Alcoholic, written by Jonathan Ames; Cuba: My Revolution, written by Inverna Lockpez; is the creator of Billy Dogma; a character in the HBO series "Bored To Death" is loosely based on Dean, and he won an Emmy for his design and involvement with the opening credits of the show. Dean writes articles on Trip City, as well as essays and short autobio pieces, and you should check them all out. Follow him on Twitter, and follow Trip City as well. Thanks to our sponsors DCBS, where I bought every one of the books mentioned above that Dean illustrated.

We discuss his tenure on the TV show Seinfeld, his time in Hollywood in general, and his first foray into the comic book world. We also discuss the fan/media reaction to his storyline Rise of Arsenal; it was a candid look into a creator's life, and we are immensely thankful to JT for stopping by and being willing to speak about something like that. JT has a ton of new projects coming out, including a novel called "The Lost Spark," so keep your eyes open for his work, and please let him/us know what you thought of the interview.
