Over at the Bugpowder blog (essential reading for anyone interested in keeping up with the UK Small Press and self-published movement), Matthew Badham has been carrying out a series of interviews with various people involved in the UK comics scene. Initially intended to be out before Christmas, Matthew made the foolhardy decision to move house and trust that his internet would be working straight away. So the first few were published a while ago and the latest few have just come out. There’s a couple more to come out yet but we havev enough to be going on with right now.
So far we have:
Francesca Cassavetti – she of the long titled comics including The Most Natural Thing In The World (review here).
Karrie Fransman – Author of My Peculiar World in The Guardian G2 section every Friday and talented mini-comics maker.
(My Peculiar World by Karrie Fransman)
Marc Ellerby – maker of fine comics and webcomics. We’ve talked of Mark often and reviewed him here.
Lizz Lunney – another fine purveyor of wonders. Review is here.
Rob Jackson – maker of some lovely comics as reviewed here.
Adam Cadwell – autobiographical comics wonderkind and guiding light of the Manchester Comix Collective. (Joe caught this one earlier)
(Cover to The Everyday Volume 2 by Adam Cadwell.)
and then there’s me. Richard Bruton. Apparently Matthew wanted some sort of critical reviewer type viewpoint and it appears everyone else was busy.
