Welcome to Episode 058 of Comics That Influence LIVE—where Kurt Brugel and Jake Jacobs sit down every week to flip through the comics, magazines, and pulp treasures that inspire them as creators.

In this episode, we’re diving into a new Power Pulp haul, pulling out some gems that continue to shape our approach to indie comic-making. From the raw imagination of Heavy Metal Magazine to the monster-sized spectacle of Mothra, we’ll talk about how these books spark ideas, influence storytelling, and fuel the creative energy behind Turbo Pit-fighter and beyond.

If you’re into comic book history, creative process talk, and seeing what inspires working creators in real time, you’re in the right place.
