12th Place: Giant Days #1 with Claire Napier

Shelfdust Presents: The Fifty Best #1 Issues

This week it's time to pack up our bags and head off for Freshers Week as we look at the comic which ended up in 12th place: Giant Days #1 by John Allison, Lissa Treiman, Whitney Cogar and Jim Campbell!

John Allison’s self-published Giant Days books may have seemed an unlikely candidate for a shiny series from BOOM! Studios, but the first issue of the ongoing series proved to be a perfect fit for the publisher. Bringing in cartoonist Lissa Treiman to handle the artwork brought fabulous life to each of the three girls at the heart of the series, living together at Sheffield University. And this week Matt is rejoined by our Giant Days Annotator - Claire Napier is on the show this week to talk all about it!
