Pete Taylor and Mike Williams are joined by comic writer, artist and all round great guy Mark Hughes (aka Son Of Ken) on the latest Lakes International Comic Art Festival Podcast (Episode 85) to battle it out in the first of the semi finals of their Genre World Cup.
This time they discuss the genres of zombies and superheroes. Surely there’s an obvious winner here – but listen and find out who!
Mark describes himself as a “scribbler based in South Wales”, which hardly does his work justice, on Catfood Comics Silverbeard comic. He’s the co-founder of the Swansea Comics Collective and part of the Catfood Comics team, a Skrawl Lord, Graffiti Artist – and Upper Deck Sketcher!
