  • Episode 308: STAR RIDER! Dan and Fraser’s Starlight Adventures book 1
    For some time, as a treat for members of C-Unit, Dan and Fraser have been playing through the Starlight Adventures series of adventure game books for girls, published by Puffin in 1985. We have adventured our way all the way through Riddle of the runaway and are now on the third book, Island Of Secrets. Presented here in this special podcast, is the first five episodes which comprise book one in the series, Star Rider. If you like what you hear and would like to join C-Unit yourself, thereby gaining access to the SILENCE! archive, free comics and a wealth of other exclusive podcasts, then go to Patreon.com/silence and pledge a single unit of currency (or more if you want). Whether you do or not, get ready to go on a Starlight Adventure, enter the drama gymkhana and…learn about horses in… STAR RIDER

    His Dark Materials, The Apprentice, Traitors, Batman Year Two, DC on screen, At Home With Rick Geary, 200AD Prog 503, Chatabix, 60 Songs To Explain The 90s.

  • Episode 306: The Mighty Crusaders Number 4 #01

    Here’s a fantastic new project from Channel SILENCE! It’s a deep, deeper, deepest dive into a comic that blew my mind – The Mighty Crusaders Number Four from Mighty Comics, 1966. I hope you enjoy listening to it more than I enjoyed making it. Future episodes in this series will be released on our Patreon page with possible public release at a future date. If you’d like to support this stupid fucking project then feel free to go to https://www.patreon.com/SILENCE and do what you think is right.

    OH IT’S SO GOOD BABY WHAEN YOU’RE AT THE WHEEL

    Writing these blurbs can be worse than pulling teeth. Lucky for you, I ran out of teeth ten minutes ago so here we are

    Shall we welcome Tom Oldham and Douglas Noble back? Okay then. Do you want to hear a blow-by-pulse-pounding-blow account of Tom’s trip to Angouleme? Fine. That’s what this is. Along the way we talk about:

    Julie Doucet, Sammy Harkham, Coffee, Druillet, Aien Worlds, Richard Corbyn, Jonathan Ross, Midnight Tales, Junji Ito, Bill Brandt, Sarah-Louise Barbett and Kit-Kats.

    How close do you feel to death?

  • Episode 304: SILENCE! #307
    A  book is a dream you can hold in your hands
    Music is a dream that can be played by bands
    Dinner is a dream that goes in your tummy
    Drugs are a dream that makes you feel funny
    Chickens are a dream that likes to lay eggs
    Trousers are a dream that covers your legs
    Drawers are a dream you can put things in
    Norwich is a dream quite close to Kings Lynn

    Here's a bit of fun.  The Beast Must Die has run off the the edge of the planet and is falling through space for all eternity (for charity) so Gary Lactus is joined by Douglas Noble and Tom Oldham, the two halves of Dark And Golden.  It is not established which one of them is Dark and which is Golden.  What ensues is fun and interesting until Tom's audio stops recording for some reason so towards the end, dear listener, the podcast decays into judiciously edited scraps before rotting away entirely.

    During the 1 hr 33 mins of this podcast we speak of Breakdown Press, Baby, Angouleme, Croix-Noire, 2000AD Extreme Editions, Peter Milligan's The Dead, Meltdown Man, Rainbow Swelling, Billionaire Island: Cult Of Dogs, Catwoman: Lonely City, Power Comics, The Butterfly House, Clair Napier's The Magic Necklace,  Cowboy Picture Library 410 – Buck Jones The Hunter and more.

  • Episode 301: SILENCE! #Mark Stafford

    You wanna know about Mark Stafford, almost from birth until now? He's the sort of guy that people say things like ''Mark Stafford is the greatest artist you've never heard of'' about.

    Press play to hear Mark Stafford talk to a completely naked Gary Lactus about Ronald Searle, Empusa, The Comic Creators Guild, Brian Talbot, Cherubs, The Man Who Laughs, David Hine, Liphook, the strange tale of Magdalena Solis, The Bad Bad Place, Mark's Emerald Helicopter of Success, the upcoming Salmonella Smorgasbord and why oh why can't we all just call comic books and graphic novels Irresponsible Pictures instead.

    OVER MY SHOULDER, OLDER AND OLDER, THAT'S WHAT I TOLD YA, OVER AND OVER

    Well, well, well if it isn't Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die crawling back on their knees, begging forgiveness for missing a week of the world's otherwise most reliable podcast.  Angry hoards of ex listeners have verbally and physically assaulted the punctual pair, blaming them for all manner of important, missed appointments because they set their watches to SILENCE!'s famous regularity.

    Thankfully, that's all over now and the two men are back to perform that most incredible feat, talking about stuff.  Stuff like Small Press Day at Gosh, and people like Sean Azzopardi, Molly Stocks, Mark Stafford, Douglas Noble and Fraser Geesin and Dan Cox's comic, Jeff.

    Gareth Hopkins' kickstarter, Explosive Sweet Freezer Razors gets a shout too.

    Then it's off to The Reviewniverse, with Counterfeit Girl, Geezer, John's Worth and Marvel's adaptation of Dune

    Wrapping up, The Beast has watched The Boys and She Hulk and Gary has been listening to The Blindboy Podcast

    There's probably more that I've forgotten but you can find out what that is by listening... NOW!
