On today’s show, Chris and Andy discuss Bill Sienkiewicz: Revolution Volume 1, The Neil Gaiman Library (Dark Horse), Papercutz Brings Asterix to America and lament on the New York Times graphic novel bestseller list. Plus they continue with Part 4 of the 100 Greatest Comic Books – Comic Book Runs – Single Issues & Graphic Novels of All Time from When It Was Cool, which was compiled from several different sources in late 2017.
