Comic-Con 2009: Exclusive Photos and Interview with Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer of The Venture Bros.
It's incredibly difficult to avoid being sucked into the cult of The Venture Bros. From its overt homage to Johnny Quest and comic book culture to its subtle references to post-punk music to JG Thirlwell's driving score, the Adult Swim show is a witty commentary on geek culture.

For those who haven't seen the show, The Venture Bros. centers around twins Hank and Dean Venture, their mad scientist father, Dr. Thaddeus Venture and bodyguard Brock Samson as they battle against various villains, most notably The Monarch and his companion Dr. Girlfriend, best known for looking like Jacqueline Kennedy and has the voice of an 80-year-old with a five pack a day cigarette habit.
Last weekend at Comic-Con, we had the chance to interview and photograph the masterminds behind the weird and wild Team Venture, Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer. The duo not only writes the series, but voices several of the major characters. Publick handles Hank Venture and The Monarch while Hammer is known for Dr. Girlfriend, Henchman #21 and Master Billy Quizboy.
