Greg Driver — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 18:00:00 +0000

Welcome to Ace Comicals this is the first show of 2017, Episode 001!

We decided, to kick off the Ace Comicals 2017 Reboot, we would do a show where we talk about how comics work and how we got into it!

We wanted to present a gentle introduction for people curious about comics, and to address some of the things we wish we had been told when WE started reading comics.

Alongside this episode, we have created a supplementary guide on the various methods for purchasing comics both physically and digitally

We are your hosts, Greg, Leon and Rahul and we invite you to join us on our journey into the rabbithole of sequential art!
