The Art of Comics Episode 8 - The Walking Man
Jaws Stone & Paul Duffield

In the this episode of the biweekly podcast, The Art of Comics, creators Paul Duffield and Jaws discuss Jiro Taniguchi's meditative manga, The Walking Man.

It's a deep discussion, and there'll be spoilers for the story and themes of the comic, so you might want to pause now, read the book and listen once you've had your own reaction. The episode is designed to work regardless of whether you've read it or not, so if you don't mind spoilers, dive right in!

Next episode we'll be taking a deep dive into the world of Yaoi to prep you for our upcoming episodes!
