The Cabinet of Dr. ComicCast
Sick of spending your Halloween running from exploding bonfires after some little scumbag throws a petrol soaked tire into it? Us too! So why not spend your Halloween with the Comic Cast! On this weeks frightening show we dicuss Edward Gorey’s Dracula: A Toy Theatre, Ghost World: Special Edition, Joann Sfar’s Vampire Loves and Johns/Donner/Powell’s Superman: Escape from Bizarro World. Also thrown into the cauldron are home grown work including Luke F Comics issue 1, Knocked up Nikki issue 2, Redemptions fire! Preview Issue, The Linguistic Goat and Frankenstein – the new graphic novel from Classical Comics with art by Declan Shalvey (Interview in two weeks).

Thanks a million for the great review lads!
Do you mind if I rob one or two quotes to stick on the back of the book?namely the “It`s fucking awesome” bit.

Liam – it looks like your plugging has an effect. was wandering past Sub City today when I decided to call in and have a look for Gazebo, see what all your prattling is about. So I spotted it up beside Freak Show and The Last Bus, etc, and took it down for a look. I’m not sure what I was expecting it to be, but I really liked it! It’s really very good! I love how bleak and void the whole thing is – very good!
So anyway, I bought it, and Rob threw in your comic from free comic book day, and that’s fucking fantastic! I love it! Good job, and keep up the good work!
Good podcast, too!
