In this episode, Don and Rob sit down again with UK comics historian Richard Sheaf to talk about how American comics were received across the pond in the UK. The trio discuss the experience of being a fan of American comics in the UK, how US comics were changed to suit UK publication, and UK comic book convention culture. All this, and Abslom Daak: Dalek Killer, is waiting for you in this episode of The Department of Nerdly Affairs.
