Comics Special
with guests Nat Metcalfe and Tom Oldham
This week’s episode is a comics special as Robin is joined in studio by our resident comics expert, comedian Nat Metcalfe and Tom Oldham of Breakdown Press. They chat about Douglas Dixon, Ken Reid, Lando and why too many comics these days are starting to read like storyboards for a future Netflix series.
As always there’s an extended version for Patreon pledgers and this week features and extra 15 minutes. Support us at patreon.com/bookshambles
