Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future.

With us today is artist June Brigman, co-creator of Power Pack and artist on some of the most iconic X-Men issues of all time. We get into what the Marvel office was like in the 80s and about how Power Pack gets real dark anytime they talk to the X-Men.

Also in this episode:

 

• A peek behind the scenes of Secret Wars
• Professor X thinks of Storm as a woman and it is not great
• The Doug/Kitty/Piotr love triangle in full effect
• In the Marvel universe, it’s very common to be mugged in botanical gardens
• Having heart to hearts in the sky

What does any of this mean for the future of June's already illustrious career? Tune in to find out!

June Brigman is a celebrated comic book artist and illustrator, known for co-creating Marvel's "Power Pack" and illustrating the syndicated newspaper strip "Brenda Starr, Reporter." Her dynamic storytelling and expressive artwork have graced the pages of major publishers like Marvel and DC, featuring characters such as Supergirl, Spider-Man and of course she is well-known as the penciller for some of the most iconic Uncanny X-Men stories of all time.

 

Her contributions to the comic book industry have earned her numerous awards and a dedicated fan base, making her a beloved figure in visual storytelling. She and her husband Roy Richardson serve as the artists for the comic strip Mary Worth and just last year she collaborated with Louise Simonson again for "Power Pack: Into the Storm."
