Omen To That

On today's show I talk to Steve Tanner the man behind the prolific TIME BOMB COMICS publishing line.

Since 2007 TIME BOMB have been producing some of the most accomplished one-shots and graphic novels on the independent scene, with a range of genres from historical thrillers to horror and sci-fi anthologies.

With titles such as Flintlock, Harker and Brawler there really is something for everyone. 

So settle back as we take you through The Art of Self-Publishing: TIME BOMB COMICS.

On today’s show we continue our look at the art of self-publishing and I’m pleased to be joined two veritable bandits of the comics scene. Having already been banned once by Kickstarter it’s safe to say they have already planted their flag firmly atop the Bad Taste Mountain.

But that isn’t going to stop them and as you’ll hear they have now unleashed their particular brand of bad taste on Patreon!

So settle back and enjoy the story of one of today most outlandish publishers Adam Falp and Tony Esmod A.K.A. TRIBUTE PRESS!

On today’s show I’m pleased to be talking to one of my favourite small press creators. An artist and writer who in my humble opinion produces one of the most accomplished and professional small press titles going. Steve Sims black and white art is a joy to behold and his most famous creation The Beast Hunting Battle Badgers not only mixes fantasy and anthropomorphic creatures but also has more than its share of easter eggs for old wrestling fans like myself.

In this episode we talk Comics, Fantasy films, Wrestling and of course, Badgers!

Settle back and get ready to enjoy the delightful Art of Steve Sims.

On today’s show I’m pleased to be joined one of the greatest illustrators and caricaturists of our generation.

In his 20 plus year career Jason Seiler's work has graced publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, The New York Times to name but a few. Most recently his painting of President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris was a worldwide sensation when it appeared on the Time Magazine Person of the Year cover.

In this fun chat we discuss the ups and downs of a career in art, what it takes to succeed and his theory on the origin of cave painting. We also talk about his budding stand-up career and his brilliant arts podcast Face the Truth.

It's a fascinating chat and as you might expect from Jason, we have a few laughs along the way.

On today's festive special I'm delighted to be joined by the Daddy Christmas of small press comics, Tony Esmond the man and the myth behind such classic titles as the Whore Chronicles and Atomic Hercules.
