Alan Moore and Alan Davis' D.R. and Quinch with Douglas Wolk

 

One of comics greatest historians, Douglas Wolk, comes by to discuss an Alan Moore deep-cut. This run is a buried treasure from 2000 AD, featuring a creative powerhouse pair in their early days.  I for one was very interested to hear what Douglas Wolk had to say about it, and to read it for the first time myself.
