January | 2019 | Comic Art Festival Podcast

We go all graphic medicine in this episode as we have Ian Williams on the show. Ian created the Graphic Medicine website and following on from that has created two graphic novels The Bad Doctor and the upcoming The Lady Doctor. Ian came on to the show for a chat abut his career as a doctor and how this led to the creation of the website and his books. We also give a full review of The Lady Doctor in the show as well. We review Needleman by Martin ‘Simo’ Simpson, Plan A/ Plan B by John Tucker and 24 Panels by numerous artists. Please also check out the website for 24 Panels as its an important book created to help raise funds to support the survivors of the Grenfell fire disaster.

Pete has a chat with the creator of Needleman, Martin ‘Simo’ Simpson about comics, Kickstarter and his comic creation process and Mike talks all about The Boys comic series by Garth Ennis & Darick Robertson which is due to come out as a TV series in 2019.

Mike & Pete have got together for another episode of Mutter Downs. Now when these two get together we know we have a marathon of comic talk coming our way and this is the same today with two hours of their favourite comics and movies from 2018.
