Morgan Talks Comics
Welcome to Morgan Talks Comics, a podcast that is a deep dive into comics from the past and the present. I really started collecting comics and also really started making them in the 80s, and still collect and make them now! Each week, I’ll be picking out some of the unknown gems and cult favourites the world of comics have to offer, and taking an in-depth look at what makes them worthy of being a cult comic in my eyes.
Let me introduce myself… I’m Morgan Gleave, a professional cartoonist and comic junkie! I’ve been drawing cartoons and comics for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been reading them for as long as I can remember too - I was lucky to have had some really cool comics and graphic novels bought for me when I was young, which grew into a real love of comics and cartoons of all shapes and sizes.
I really love comics and cartoons, so I hope you enjoy listening to the show, and have as much fun hearing it as I have making it!
