On this week's Comics Deserve Better, Brian, Darci, and Logan dig into These Savage Shores by Ram V, Sumit Kumar, Vittorio Astone, and Aditya Bidikar. It's historical fiction-meets-horror set in 18th century Southeast India and effectively decolonizes the vampire story while also riffing on epistolary novels and nine panel grids. They also chat about the 2020 Ringo Award winners, Copra's new publishing format, and Elsa Charretier's KickStarter.

Other comics mentioned on the show include Dracula Motherf**ker, Shuzo Oshimi's Happiness, Edgar Allan Poe's Snifter of Blood, Sympathy for No Devils, Papaya Salad, and Sophia Yanow's Contradiction
