In Episode 059 of Comics That Influence LIVE, Jake Jacobs and Kurt Brugel sit down to flip through more comics that shaped their love for the medium and continue to inspire their own creative work.

This week:

Jake brings two wild picks—The Adventures of Phoebe Zeit-Geist, a groundbreaking underground satire, and Marvel Bizarre Adventures #25, one of the oddest and most experimental runs Marvel ever published.

Kurt digs into three recent comic hauls he scored from eBay and MyComicShop.com, sharing his impressions, hidden gems, and what these books bring to the table as influences on Turbo Pit-fighter and beyond.

Join us as we celebrate the comics that fuel our storytelling—unearthing forgotten treasures, discussing their impact, and connecting the dots between past creativity and today’s indie comics scene.
