Comics writer John Lees ("Sink," "Hotell," "Mountainhead") joins our two comics aficionados to discuss one of his favourite graphic novels of all time: the truly unique "Daytripper" by Brazilian twin cartoonists Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá.

"Daytripper," published by Vertigo comics in 2010, bounces around the life Brás de Oliva Domingos, an obituary writer. Each issue/chapter jumps forwards and backwards in time, examining different key moments in Brás' life. It's a celebration of love, family, friendship, life and death.

Our guest, John Lees, is a Glasgow-based writer mostly known for his terrifying horror comics. He has created "Mountainhead" for IDW, "Sink" for Comixtribe and "Hotell" for AWA Comics. He also teamed up with artist Nick Pitarra to produce a story for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe" (Issue 6).
