THAT COMIC SMELL 45: Slice of Life



The new episode of the podcast is online now here.

From the web:

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get”
It’s time for That Comic Smell to take a massive Slice of Life. Indeed, it is time for us to take a look at diary comics, a moment cut out of time, fiction that very much mimics life stories and so much more. We go from absolute belly laughs to comics that leave you heartbroken. All with an added deviation, where the folks here get into the real “Geek” of it all and talk shelf organisation. GET IN!
This and all the usual comics chat on the only comics podcast that can be stacked on a physical shelf…

MARVEL STAR WARS EXPLORERS #69



I've been enjoying this weekly podcast which covers each issue of the comics published between 1977 and 1986. I suppose it should technically be 1977-2019 after the recent one off edition. 

They were already at an issue numbered in the 50s when I started listening, so I've been playing catch up. 

I've been leaving comments on their Facebook page as I go along, and decided to send them an e-mail which they read out on their latest episode.

Have a listen to their show here. It's a lot of fun.
