GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY I SHOULDN’T WIN
Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die crawl back into your skull and deposit a number of topics. The big news is dropped in a very special edition of Inside The Wanker’s Studio in which Gary Lactus conducts a hard hitting, no punches pulled interview with a name that’s about to be shouted so loud by so many that it will echo down the ages, Dan White. Dan’s big book of Cindy and Biscuit is to be published on August 15th 2023 so get ready to buy copies for everyone you know.
The Beast rejoins Gary as the pair enter The Reviewniverse with Unstoppable Doom Patrol, Garth Marenghi Live, Zero and Michael Kupperman’s Patreon.
Then it’s off to SILENCE! (Because The Film’s started) where The Beast has seen Guardians of the Galaxy III
After that it’s massive revelation, moths and away…

Hello there. In this episode we mostly pay tribute to the longtime manager of Dave’s Comics, Stephen Bamford in the wake of his passing.
We also talk about Comics and Beer, The Sheild G-Man Club Fanzine, The Watchmen RPG and Bob Burden’s Robot Comics.
Oh, and both your hosts will be exhibiting at All About The Ink this month.

DADDY’S HOME
He’s back! The good one is back!
The Beast Must Die is back and we all get to hear what he’s been up to. He’s been watching Grange Hill and almost nothing else. Let’s not beat around the blurb, let’s read a list of some of the things talked about on this episode that aren’t Grange Hill:
His Dark Materials, The Apprentice, Traitors, Batman Year Two, DC on screen, At Home With Rick Geary, 200AD Prog 503, Chatabix, 60 Songs To Explain The 90s.
GO!

THE MIGHTY CRUSADERS NUMBER FOUR #01
February 15th, 2023
Here’s a fantastic new project from Channel SILENCE! It’s a deep, deeper, deepest dive into a comic that blew my mind – The Mighty Crusaders Number Four from Mighty Comics, 1966. I hope you enjoy listening to it more than I enjoyed making it. Future episodes in this series will be released on our Patreon page with possible public release at a future date. If you’d like to support this stupid fucking project then feel free to go to https://www.patreon.com/SILENCE and do what you think is right.

OH IT’S SO GOOD BABY WHEN YOU’RE AT THE WHEEL
Writing these blurbs can be worse than pulling teeth. Lucky for you, I ran out of teeth ten minutes ago so here we are
Shall we welcome Tom Oldham and Douglas Noble back? Okay then. Do you want to hear a blow-by-pulse-pounding-blow account of Tom’s trip to Angouleme? Fine. That’s what this is. Along the way we talk about:
Julie Doucet, Sammy Harkham, Coffee, Druillet, Aien Worlds, Richard Corbyn, Jonathan Ross, Midnight Tales, Junji Ito, Bill Brandt, Sarah-Louise Barbett and Kit-Kats.
How close do you feel to death?

A book is a dream you can hold in your hands
Music is a dream that can be played by bands
Dinner is a dream that goes in your tummy
Drugs are a dream that makes you feel funny
Chickens are a dream that likes to lay eggs
Trousers are a dream that covers your legs
Drawers are a dream you can put things in
Norwich is a dream quite close to Kings Lynn
Here’s a bit of fun. The Beast Must Die has run off the the edge of the planet and is falling through space for all eternity (for charity) so Gary Lactus is joined by Douglas Noble and Tom Oldham, the two halves of Dark And Golden. It is not established which one of them is Dark and which is Golden. What ensues is fun and interesting until Tom’s audio stops recording for some reason so towards the end, dear listener, the podcast decays into judiciously edited scraps before rotting away entirely.
During the 1 hr 33 mins of this podcast we speak of Breakdown Press, Baby, It May Never Happen, Angouleme, Croix-Noire, 2000AD Extreme Editions, Peter Milligan’s The Dead, Meltdown Man, Rainbow Swelling, Billionaire Island: Cult Of Dogs, Catwoman: Lonely City, Power Comics, The Butterfly House, Clair Napier’s The Magic Necklace, Cowboy Picture Library 410 – Buck Jones The Hunter and more.
