Kirk Campbell, one of the minds behind the brilliant anthology Dirty Rotten Comics joins the Awesome Comics Podcast gang to talk about the series, how it came to be, the amazing creators that have contributed and so much more.
It’s a great chat about a series you must check out. Of course, the conversation goes in all directions and Kirk lowers himself to the hosts level (bless him) as they talk about creating comics purely for digital reading, free comic book day shenanigans, hipsters, hoovers and so much more.
Plus – Dan Butcher makes his triumphant return, Vince Hunt puts on his sensual voice and Tony Esmond accuses one of the hosts of cosplaying as a crusty seaman.
Plus – another round of the Awesome Games dramatic results readings takes place as ACP fave Emily Owen tells us all who got horribly murdered this week. Good fun for all the family!
