Tom Oldham & Nathaniel Metcalfe

Book Shambles Comics Special

Our comics experts, Nathaniel Metcalfe and Tom Oldham joined Robin for an update on what’d good in comics and offer some excellent Christmas gift ideas. They chat about new work from Lala Albert, Vic Pratt, Daniel Clowes, Martin Scorese’s take on Marvel movies and also try to work out why people didn’t like mother! when it’s clearly an excellent film.
