    This week, we have DJ Ben Ha Meen joining us in the lair to discuss his 2025 Eisner-nominated Afrofuturistic comic Jimi Hendrix: Purple Haze, published through Titan Comics. We talk about his blerd origins, his podcast @forallnerds, and how music inspired this dope comic. In all seriousness, you MUST have Hendrix playing in the background while you read the comic.

We discuss the inspiration behind Dark Pink and the intention behind Ford's storytelling and business acumen. Ford also gives us a tour of his figurines, which Bri threatens somebody's grandma over lol.
