Another Thursday and another update from Alex, who, against the advice of doctors, has let Oli Smith loose with a microphone. Its actually quite appropriate since Oli, who has been a large component of the driving force behind the success of the London Underground Comics stall is talking to the one and only Eddie Campbell who used to enjoy some success with a London comics stall of his own once upon a time. As ever, check the Panel Borders blog for more details and links to previous shows still available via the magic of podcast:
Strip!: Eddie Campbell and Fast Fiction, tonight at 5pm on Resonance 104.4 FM
it’s the start of Eddie Campbell month on Strip!: Oli Smith (London Underground Comics) talks to the acclaimed comic book artist and writer about Fast Fiction, the seminal British small press comics stall which promoted European and underground comics at the Westminster Comic Marts in the early 80s. Later in the show Alex Fitch and Oli talk to Paul Gravett about running the stall and its influence on the next generation of small press creators.
(No Strip! on 16/10/08 due to live Frieze art fair coverage on Resonance, the show will be back on 23/10/08 with Alex Fitch talking to Eddie about his work on Alec and Bacchus)
