After a couple of years away from podcasting, comic archivists Phillip Vaughan and Doctor Chris Murray have launched a new, semi-regular show, Comics Pub Crawl.
The pair of them can be enjoyed talking all things comics, in the pub, along with guests who will be joining this august duo from time to time.
In the first episode, Chris Murray, Chair of Comics Studies at the University of Dundee, talks about a classic Vertigo strip, New Toys, by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely (reprinted in Graphic Ink: The DC Comics Art of Frank Quitely).
Phillip Vaughan, who’s Senior Lecturer at Abertay University, is joined by special guests Dave Gibbons and Tim Pilcher, to talk about Dave’s new book, Confabulation: An Anecdotal Autobiography from Dark Horse Comics.
