Three very different comics - a stark and subversive western, a near-silent near-romance, and a mockumentary-style satire of comics collectors and human behaviour - have one thing in common: my adoration.

Join me as I try and find out exactly what makes Bloody Chester, A Taste of Chlorine, and Wimbledon Green three favourite comics of mine.

Videos I mention here:
