“The Book Is Better!”

We have all seen the films based on comic books. I mean hell, Marvel is more films than comics these days. What about the comics that are based, tied in with, continuing on, adapted from films and Television Shows. Well we grab every available one that we own and pass them round like there’s no tomorrow. There are some absolute crackers here and some tasty rarities to wrap your ears around. From cartoons and adventure heroes. To space age horror and life stories. You won’t want to miss the picks this time around.

This and all the usual comics chat on the only podcast to come on both Betamax AND laser disc...

“Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get”

It’s time for That Comic Smell to take a massive Slice of Life. Indeed, it is time for us to take a look at diary comics, a moment cut out of time, fiction that very much mimics life stories and so much more. We go from absolute belly laughs to comics that leave you heartbroken. All with an added deviation, where the folks here get into the real “Geek” of it all and talk shelf organisation. GET IN!

This and all the usual comics chat on the only comics podcast that can be stacked on a physical shelf…

“I’m BAAAAAa-aaaaack…”

Welcome to our 3rd instalment of taking a look at the JLI. You may get one of these every 6 months or every year, who knows? Either way, we will slowly but surely make our way through this entire series collection by collection.

We all stare wide-eyed and fascinated at David’s, ever brilliant, collection of single issues and he guides us through all the best pages, step by ever so beautiful and hilarious step.

We also take a look at what we have been reading recently and some of the comics that were picked up at the recent Little Shop of Heroes (https://www.littleshopofheroes.co.uk/) run, Dunfermline Comic Con.

This and all the usual comics chat on the only comics podcast to look better in single issues with all the ads and letters pages still in…

“WE TOLD YOU SO!”

We are diving into the truly sublime, the absolute cream of the crop, the comics greatness that is “Fantagraphics” David brings along only a fraction of his vast FG collection to show off. We discuss how some of their collected titles are published in the UK. We each take a turn appreciating the greatness of this legendary comics publisher and all whilst having an incredible special guest…

Yes, we are joined by the ever so talented ‘Charles H Raymond’ Creator of such titles as ‘Death Inc. , Chlorophyll, Dust and so much more that you can find here http://www.notsotiny.co.uk/index.html

We also explore our opinions on movies these days and a little rip down memory lane via our television nightmares growing up.

“JUMPING JILLIKERS BATMAN!!”

NANANANANANANA BATMAAAAAAAAAN!! The Caped Crusader turns 80 this year with his 1000th issue on it’s way, so we thought it only fitting to discuss our very favourite Dark/Bright Knight! We go in to some back issues, some slight history of the creation/true creation and creators. Take a look at some of our all time favourite stories of Bats. We also answer some Bat related questions such as “Best Bat Family Member?” “Best Batman Villain?” “Best Bat Gadget and or vehicle” and loads more!

“Wanna make something of it?!”

This time on That Comic Smell podcast we are digging into the archives. This one was recorded back in April 2018. It’s also in the old HQ so there is a little bit of kettle boiling (We have moved on since then).

This is the folks making their way through the absolutely tremendous Justice League International. The first volume was covered a while back, now for Volume 2. Also there may be a slight rant about comic book movies… ok, there IS a rant about comic book movies, but I’m sure you’ll understand.
