Continuing the Panel Borders radio show's month of shows about iconoclastic American comic book artists, Alex Fitch talks to German-American artist Klaus Janson about his work from inking and eventually providing most of the art for Frank Miller's run on Daredevil and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns in the early 1980s to his recent acclaimed tenures on Wolverine and World War Hulk. Klaus also talks about his love of teaching new artists and his experiences at comic book conventions over the years. (Recorded at Comics Launchpad, Birmingham 2011)

Airing tonight (8th March) is Clear Spot: The problem of autobiography. In a panel discussion recorded at the First Fiction festival (Sussex University, January 2012) author Sue Eckstein discusses the problems inherent in creating autobiographies with graphic novelists Nicola Streeten and Anuerin Wright and how creators can subvert and overcome these.
Nicola's book Billy, me and you and Aneurin's Things to Do in a Retirement Home Trailer Park couldn't be more different in their approaches, with the former combining cartoons, diary drawings and scrapbook montage and the latter depicting the author's friends and family as anthropomorphic creatures in domestic settings.
