That's right, the January episode. As Derek explains during the opening of this show, he and Edward had planned on covering IDW Publishing works in translation that had been released in the last half of 2017, and doing so for their January episode. However, life got in the way again, and they had to delay the recording. Derek then sought out Dean Mullaney (editor of IDW's EuroComics series) and Justin Eisinger (senior editor at IDW) to assist him with this show, but neither were available. So Derek decided to do the episode solo, something that he's never done on the podcast before. And he hopes the results aren't unlistenable. And here you have it, the "January" episode of the Euro Comics series...albeit released in February. In it, you'll hear Derek discuss six different titles from IDW released since July 2017, including Carlos Sampayo and Jose Munoz's Alack Sinner: The Age of Innocence; Christian Perrissin and Matthieu Blanchin's Calamity Jane: The Calamitous Life of Martha Jane Cannary, 1852-1903; Alain Dodier, Pierre Makyo, and Serge Le Tendre's Jerome K. Jerome Bloche Vol. 1: The Shadow Killer; Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese: Fable of Venice; Zep's A Story of Men; and Pratt's The Man from the Great North.
