It's Halloween, listeners! We're celebrating the spooky season this week by looking at some spooky-themed comics with Melbourne-based comics artist, Chris Gooch. We chat about what we've been checking out recently (spook-related or otherwise) before diving into the massive scope of the Horror genre. We then get into the comics, the concept of "jobbers", reading manga as a hardcore fan vs. reading it for the first time, pulp horror, Edgar Allen Poe, and a whole lot more.

The comics we will be looking at today include:

• Mob Psycho 100 vol. 1 (2012 JPN/2018 ENG) (Dark Horse Manga) - Written and Illustrated by ONE, translated by Kumar Sivasubramanian

• Hellboy: The Corpse (1995-1996) (Dark Horse) - Written and Illustrated by Mike Mignola, Colored by Matt Hollingsworth, Lettered by Pat Brosseau

You can find Chris on Instagram at @chrisgooch44, and you can buy all of his comics, including Bottled, Deep Breaths, and Under-Earth from most good comic retailers online or otherwise! Make sure to follow Chris to keep up with all his upcoming projects.

You can buy these comics at most good comic stores or ask your local bookstore to try and order them. Alternatively, you can read these comics digitally on the Comixology app via Amazon.
