This week Vince, Dan and Tony take time to focus on the art of the comic book cover! There are some classics that are lovingly remembered and plenty of great examples brought up by the listeners that are discussed. There's fascinating insight into creating a cover thumbnail for digital stores, things to think about when designing covers that are going into stores and discussions about everyone's favourite cover artists. There's also more fantastic book recommendations for everyone and there's also plenty of time for some all-important soup talk!
