Panel Borders: Zine-age Kicks!
“Starting a month of shows about comic book publishing on Panel Borders: Dickon Harris conducts three interviews with small press creators at the Brighton ‘Zine fest and at the “Zine-age kicks” event at Trap 2 Gallery in London. Dickon talks to Jimi Gherkin about his new ‘zine “Electric baby,” which includes advice for ‘zine and comic book creators on how to screenprint and self publish their own comics and also about the upcoming anthology Jimi’s editing and how anyone in the small press can submit items to be included. Dickon’s also talking to Dutch artist Kala Newman about her zine – “Impulsive random platform” – which she creates with fellow students from the Slade school of art and to George Cullen about his self published title “Throw away” which mixes cryptography with typography to beguiling effect.”
Panel Borders is the podcast of Alex Fitch’s weekly radio show about comics. Over the months Alex and the team have built up a huge bank of excellent interviewees, amongst them luminaries such as Bryan Talbot and Alan Moore, Art Spiegelman, Walt Simonson and many more. But Panel Borders doesn’t just cover the stellar end of the comics world, it recently spent a series of interviews profiling various leading lights in the self publishing scene. This month of shows / podcasts on comic book publishing looks intriguing to say the least.
