Tony and returning guest Tom Stewart decided not to review 'Boffy The Vampire Layer issue 51' and instead read the marvellous one-and-done Batman and the Outsiders issue 3 from 1983.
Written by Mike W. Barr with art by Jim Aparo this was a joy to read and talk about.

Tony and returning guest and comics creator Alan Henderson sit down to talk about the first Queen and Country story arc 'Broken Ground' by Greg Rucka and Steve Rolston (with a short story drawn by Stan Sakai).
The conversation takes in the story, the art, the characters as well as the Yorkshire TV inspiration for the comic. It's a cracking book with only a couple of scenes that Tony doesn't believe are 'genuine London' enough - he soon forgives and forgets.
Tony and Alan also talk about his new Penned Guin Kickstarter that you should all back here!
You can also follow Alan on Twitter here and find more feathered fun.
Many thanks for listening.

On this episode Tony chats to comics artist Dave Kennedy about his love for 'Alien: The Illustrated Story'. A book that many consider to be one of the best examples of adapting a movie into comic form.
The history and artistic merits are discussed in detail and how Dave came to buy and then rebuy this graphic novel.
Dave Kennedy is also an excellent science fiction comics artist himself and is currently working on a series for filmmaker John Carpenter. You can find them here and also follow Dave's daily art (and other saucy antics) here. Highly recommended.
