I'm joined by script droid James Peaty to discuss an overlooked DC book from 1989 by Peter Milligan, Brett Ewins, Steve Dillon and Tom Frame. Along the way we discuss writing and storytelling techniques as well as getting inspiration from the works of James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, and Machiavelli.

Oh wow - fantastic choice. I love this series. Can't wait to get to this one.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Looking forward to this.  I only ever read one issue, and I remember a lot of stuff about James Joyce.  I've since read some Joyce so should probably revisit it.

[Eamonn Clarke]

Thanks, guys.
Here is James' grail page by Ewins and Dillon, Words Peter Milligan.

Really enjoyed the James Peaty one. Some interesting insights from a creator's perspective.

And here is Carl's grail, I don't think we've had too many Bisley images in the gallery so far.

[Rogue Judge]

Another great episode, I'd heard of it but knew nothing of it. That grail page is a fantastic pick too.
