Comics writer Matt Garvey is the guest on the latest Lakes International Comic Art Festival podcast. He's written a whole host of comics including The Either, Chunks, White Noir and The Devil in Disguise.  Hosts Ian Loxam and Nikki Bates talk to him about how he got into writing comics and how he goes about promoting them. Ensure you check him out on Twitter, as he's well worth the follow.

The team also talk about the new Kickstarter from Little Comic Heroes and their new anthology charity comic. They’re a great cause and give comic kids to kids stuck in hospitals.

The Mind of James Svengal by Lyndon White and Jordan Sam Adams is also reviewed -  a dark look into the twisted mind of a troubled man!

Pete Taylor finishes his look at the life and times of Jack Kirby, which the Podcast team will look at stitching together as a whole piece soon. Pete’s put so much work into this! (Make sure you check out his Monster Kids comic too. 

Mike Williams reviews some comics he’s been reading whilst on a work road trip and the team look at the latest news from the Festival and update you on Nikki's comic, Anxiety Me (reviewed here by Tony Esmond), too. (It's now available to buy from her Big Cartel shop).
