*MUSIC: White Bear TRACK: The Tide in My Lungs* https://twitter.com/whitebearband https://soundcloud.com/whitebaer Merry Christmas Countdown folks! Hello and welcome to another episode of “That Comic Smell” podcast. Be prepared folks, this is a two parter. The kind people over at Avery Hill Publishing got in touch with us a while ago and asked if we would like to review some of their books. How could we turn an offer like that down? More comics to read?! You’re on. So here we are, reviewing some of their incredible titles. We had a bit of a bump in the road as we lost our original recording of them so we had to record them again, separately. So the editing master Tom! (Beginner at best) cut them together for y’all to wrap your ears around. So sit back and relax and enjoy the first part of the Avery Hill dedicated podcast. Enjoy. Some of the Titles covered in Part 1: Ghosts Etc. – George Wylesol Goatherded – Charlo Frade Something City – Ellice weaver The Beginners Guide to Being Outside

We continue our appreciation for Jack one more time. We discuss what the publishers have done for his birthday celebrations. Also what some of our particular "Best" moments of Kirby are. We run as a 3 man team for about the first 20 minutes waiting for everyone else to arrive, in the time we talk about the great "Ann Nocenti" , the general layout and folks that were at the Glasgow comic con. We also speak about the elusive Previews catalogue and Giuseppe has a run in with a mystery shop online. All this and more on the only podcast to bring you Kirby crackle in the ears... think about how that works for a second.

Happy 100th Birthday Jack! From all of us here at "That Comic Smell" I'm sure I speak for the world of comics when saying that, without you the comic world would not be what it is today and possibly wouldn't even exist. You were a creation genius and an inspiration to everyone and anyone within comics, whether they know it or not. In this episode we talk all things Kirby. There is not much more to say except to sit back and absorb all the Kirby chat. We are also joined by an extremely special guest: Comic Artist, creator and all round good guy Mr. Dan McDaid. Enjoy Folks. *Music: Chart Smasher - Play* https://chartsmasher.bandcamp.com/releases

We weren't long back from the Glasgow comic-con in July, so we talk about the various books and goodies we acquired whilst there. Plus! There is an added bonus review from our very own Tom at the end. So plug in those headphones. Get ready to ride the podcast roller-coaster to the wonderful world of comics.
