Karen Rubins interview
March 1st, 2010
Cartoon County is a Sussex based organization run by David Lloyd and Corinne Pearlman where comic book types can show their work and share information. The monthly meetings at The Cricketers pub in Brighton are a great source of inspiration and alcohol for all involved. Last January’s meeting was graced by the presence of Karen Rubins. Karen is nice and special as she recently completed a residency at the prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum.
She was kind enough to talk about the experience and answer questions from CC’s more gobby members like myself, David Lloyd, Dez Skinn, Corinne Pearlman and Tim Pilcher. Why not listen as she talks secret tunnels, samurai swords, hidden comic collections, tarot cards and filling in forms!!!!!
Paul Collicutt - Robot Man
February 4th, 2010
When Tymbus forced me and Brown Lantern to interview Robot City Adventures creator Paul Collicutt, I was gripped with fear. As it turns out, he’s a lovely man. Look at him. Lovely cheeky face.
In our conversation we talked robots, creation, Kirby and other. LISTEN DAMN YOU!

Gary Lactus’ Vault of Tymbus#13
November 28th, 2009
Hi there. In this special SOS edition of the Vault, we look at:
Doom Patrol #2, Red Tornado #1, Strange Tales #1, Hookjaw and Jackie
If our choices of talking point seem a few months old it’s because I’ve was locked for a very long time in the Vault with Tymbus. It took a long time for me to get over the trauma, okay? I couldn’t even bring myself to edit this, the bleakest time of my life so far, so Brown Lantern had to do the duties. For this I am very grateful.

Gary Lactus’ Vault of Tymbus#10&11
August 25th, 2009
BRAKKA-DAKKA-THADOOOM!!!
Two amazing podcasts! One explosive post! All these comics and more!
In #10 we look at the Marvel Heroes Power Lucky Bag that we bought in the pub along with a host of publications found in the recent reordering of the vault. We select/reject gems/germs like Ultimate Fantastic Four, Mystery Men, Duplex Planet, A1, Hup, and more!
With #11 we review some recent comics including Wildstorm’s Red Herring#1, Marvel’s Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers, DC’s Red Circle: Inferno and Doom Patrol #1. Then, lucky listener we look at some old copies of Buster from 1980 which Tymbus goes on about at such tedious length I’ve had to put a musical bed underneath it to sweeten the shitty pill.

Gary Lactus’ Vault of Tymbus #9
August 16th, 2009
Watch out ’cause we’re back! Actually there’s no need to watch out. The whole disagreeable affair can be preemptively avoided by not choosing to listen to Tymbus and I talk for around 36 minutes about Wednesday Comics and the first volume of Prince Valiant from Fantagraphics.
Further pictures of Prince Valiant are available should you wish…
Gary Lactus’ Vault of Tymbus #8
July 2nd, 2009
Welcome, dear listener to another forty-odd minutes of intensely engaging, life-changing chit-chat. In this podcast I try and tie everything together with the idea that it’s dreams what keep comics alive whilst Tymbus tries to torpedo my motif and rants about the European Union. Fancy a listen? What say you?
Adventure into amazing!

Everyone loves Jack Kirby, right? Come listen now as I, Gary Lactus discuss with that corpulent comic critic, Tymbus, The Losers from DC Comics. Originally published in Our Fighting Forces, this podcast deals with the recently collected hardback. We also try an experiment in which I use the sound effects from the book to generate some Dadaist sound poetry.

May 28th, 2009
This time we look at and talk about some incredibly non-essential publications from comics history and answer some of your welcome letters and emails. We have romance with Teen Confessions, thrilling drama with Have You The Nerve To Face The Unexpected, and rubbish with Wrath.
We also ponder the question: Malibu Comics, did it flip or did it float?
