Never Iron Anything The Comics Review Show‪.‬ Neverironanything

This week Tony is re-joined by Eamonn from the Mega City Book Club podcast to discuss the incredible work of British cartoonist Ronald Searle. 
A man described as 'Britain's finest cartoonist' was a man of many facets who survived being a P.O.W. in World War 2 and travelled the world and the page with the best line you'll witness.
We get somewhat carried away, and rightly so.
Plus there's news on the imminent release of DUI 3 which Eamonn has edited! Click on this link to grab an issue soon. All proceeds raise money for the mental health charity M.I.N.D. 
You can also find Eamonn on his podcast right here. 
You can also pop over to the Never Iron Anything site and make a comment or request an episode subject.
Many thanks for listening. 
 

This week Alan re-joins Tony to talk about the 1999 Paul Pope Vertigo series Heavy Liquid.
A dystopian future city story about a sci-fi drug that avoids the cliches we see these days.
They also discuss the merits of Pope's art compared to the issues they had with some of the plotting.
See if you agree.

This week Tony is joined by comics writer Dave Cranna to talk about the first trade of the Vertigo series 'Scalped'.
Written by Jason Aaron with art by R.M. Guerra and Lee Loughridge. This is a series that is both incredibly violent and gritty but also a masterclass in writing, plotting and art.

This week Tony and Alan are joined by cartoonist Jonny Cannon to discuss and pick apart his new project that is now live on Kickstarter 'The United: Going Underground'.
We talk about the creation of a long form comic book and how Jonny has grown as a creator. Some really interesting insights into the creative process from page to release.
You can find all you need to know by heading over to Kickstarter and searching for The United: Going Underground. You can also visit the Cannonhill shop here for all of Jonny's other work.

Warnings - This week features storylines with themes of Domestic Violence.
Tony and Alan discuss the two Superman family titles that precede the arrival of Doomsday and what becomes The Death of Superman.
To describe these two issues as 'filler' does them a disservice. They are powerfully told and definitely something you should read - and are also available on the DC App.

Many thanks for listening.  

This week Tony is re-joined by comics fan and comics editor Eamonn Clarke to talk about some Doctor Who comics from the eighties. The boys focus in on 'The Star Beast' by Pat Mills and Dave Gibbons.

Is this the greatest run of Who comics ever?
