Chatting Comics and Graphic Novels

For this episode I'm joined by my dear friend Holly Cruise (@hollyzonebooks & @hollyzonehistory) of the Queer Girl Film Club podcast (@queergirlfilmclub) to discuss comics and graphic novels! We discuss what we love and dislike about the artform and industry, if 'graphic novel' is just a snobby term to make comics more appealing to literary types, and our favourites!Shout-outs for this episode go to:Zoe (@jenniferqueenie)Robert (@rocinante.lit)Comics mentioned in the episode by Holly and I:I Want to Eat Your Pancreas by Yoru Sumino and Izumi KiriharaDragman by Steven ApplebyFlaming Carrot by Bob BurdenMaus by Art SpiegelmanThe Wicked and the Divine by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvieSaga by Brian K.
