It’s Double-Down December, so from now until the end of the year you can enjoy a new episode of Pop Culture Hound every Tuesday and Friday!

In this pre-Christmas show, we present Chris’ chat with manga-inspired creators Asia Alfasi (Native Narratives), Heba Rena Yassin (Kokoro) & Giulia Della Ciana (Butterfly Effect) at last year’s Malta Comic Con.

They discuss how Japanese-style comics inspired them to become creators who incorporate elements of their own culture and experience into their work. It’s a fascinating look at manga as another form of comics, rather than a genre unto itself.

Chris Thompson

Chris Thompson emerged from the womb suckling on the teat of popular culture. He loves comics and films in equal measure (though not always together) and genuinely enjoys subtitled features, particularly French ones. When not indulging his passions, he’s working with them as a brand manager for Titan Comics – clearly not the best work-life balance one could have. In the rare moments he’s not working, Chris enjoys travel and is often headed to a festival or event of some kind. You can follow him on Twitter @popculturehound and subscribe to Pop Culture Hound via iTunes.
