Alex Fitch kindly supplies us with details of tonight’s weekly aural fix of comics goodness:
Strip! – mythologising Superheroes, 5pm on Resonance FM, podcast via Panel Borders.
“Alex Fitch interviews Doug Braithwaite, a Scottish comics artist who is best known for his collaborations with painter Alex Ross & writer Jim Krueger on such titles as Universe X & Paradise X which depict a mythological future for the characters of the Marvel Universe and Justice, a graphic novel celebrating the DC ‘Silver age’. Alex and Doug also talk the latter drawing ultra-violent escapades of the Punisher that hark back to 1980s action films and whether being a black comic book artist has influenced his work and projects.
Delayed from last week (sorry): In this week’s ComICA slot, we have the second of three extracts from ComICA Collaboratories; a talk about modern comics practices such as Daniel Merlin Goodbrey’s webcomics and collaborations between comics artists from different countries.”
Outside the realm of comics over on his Reality Check podcast for SciFi London Alex turns from the Ninth Art to Modern Art, talking to Lydia Yee, curator of the Martian Museum of Terrestrial Art at London’s Barbican, which “presents esoteric examples of fine art from the last 50 years in an anthropological style with a sci-fi twist.”
