Such Sights To Show: Episode 28 - Tapping The Vein (1989)

Season 3, Ep. 57

Bryan and Joe discuss the Eisner-nominated comic anthology Tapping The Vein (1989) which adapts the most memorable stories from Books of Blood.

Since we've already discussed the narrative, we're focusing primarily on the art...and it's a mixed bag! Which ones do we like and which ones feel defanged?

Wanna read along? Tapping the Vein is available for free on The Internet Archive (it's hard to find otherwise).
