Never Iron Anything The Comics Review Show.

On the new episode I welcome the guys from TBH Comics to dig into the makings of their new Horror Comics Kickstarter - Grim Scary Tales: New Nightmares.

This is a great one to learn about what goes into both a horror comics anthology and how to work that pesky Kickstarter algorithm. 

Have a listen to Kieron Squires, Damian Edwardson and Dan Butcher on their comics insights and a few blue jokes along the way.

And a BIG thanks to Dave Sim for the intro this week.

Many thanks for listening. 

This week myself and Eamonn talk about the cartooning genius that was Giles. We also take a trip to The University of Kent and meet with Christine who took us through their extensive collection from the man, the cartoonist, the farmer, the sailor, the humourist that is a British Institution.

You can discover the brilliance of this archive for yourself by visiting them online here.

You can also see a website post on the visit with Eamonn here.

And don't forget to head over to the Mega City Book Club podcast for more of the same!

Many thanks for listening. 

This month Tony is joined by two comics artists to discuss Charles Burns and his recent comic Final Cut.

The excellent double-act of Cliff (Tony Osmond is a Movie Star) Cumber and Ian (Hellbreaker) Ashcroft sit down and do a deep dive on what works and what doesn't in this new release. We are humbled to have two great artists discuss this landmark work. 

You can find Cliff over at his Substack here and Ian over at his Patreon right here. Both more than worth subscribing to!

Many thanks for listening.

This week Tony sits down with his podcasting buddy Tom Stewart to review four recent comics releases. Some good, some bad and Tony makes the air go just a little blue.

You have been warned. 

Have a listen and let us know what your thoughts are about these books.

You can find Tom at the That Comic Smell here. Have a listen to him and the guys talk about some great series!

This week Tony is joined by comics podcaster and editor Eamonn Clarke to discuss the first Bacchus omnibus by Eddie Campbell.

With assists from Ilya and a number of other creators this is a fascinating story/exercise/artistic experiment that plays out over 1000 pages of comics.

The two hosts try their best to explain and discuss this brilliant brick of a comic. Have a listen and let them know what you think.

You can also find more comics discussion over at the Mega City Book Club where Eamonn chats with different guests about British comics.

Many thanks for listening. 

This week Tony is re-joined by co-host Alan Henderson. The pair discuss the forgotten stylings of Rupert Bear and his land of Nuttwood.

They also examine the art of Alfred E. Bestell and the characters creator Mary Tourtel.

And listen out for the scandal that rocked the British Court system and a certain ear-worm of a song by a Beatle!

Not to be missed.

This week is the fourth in the series of collaborator interviews. Tony sits down and has an in depth conversation with the brilliant FORPE.

The pair discuss influences and training before getting on to how an artist evolves and changes. What plays into each era of their work. Really insightful stuff to say the least from FORPE!

You can buy comics and artwork from FORPE at his website right here. YOU REALLY NEED A COPY OF PUSSY MANFISTS!

Many thanks for listening. 

This week Tony is joined by a couple of collaborators for a chat. Both brilliant artists, Ian 'Hellbreaker' Ashcroft and Cliff 'Tony Osmond is a Movie Star' Cumber. 

The three really get into the guts of what motivates them to create. We talk influences and driving forces.

Genuinely not to be missed!

This week as part of the 'Collaborator Mini Series' Tony sat down with ART92's own Helena Edwardson to talk about comics, art and life in general.

The pair discuss her past collaborations as well as the second issue of Clear Run that has just been released.

This week is the start of a short run where Tony interviews his comics collaborators. We start with The Don of the UK Underground Mr Adam Falp.

We get into the creative process and how these two work so well together. We also get an in depth examination of their current book Flesh & Ink. 

The subjects and language get fruity but there is plenty to think on in this raucous episode. Have fun and listen out for the foul-mouthed outtakes. 

You can find more of Adam's work over at his site - Right Here.

Many thanks for listening.
