Alex Fitch and the Panel Borders show returns to the airwaves today on Resonance FM and then the podcast shortly after transmission. From the description for this week’s show, which mostly looks at the British invasion of US comics:
“Alex Fitch talks to Chris Claremont, a veteran comics writer born in London who became one of the most prolific and popular American comic book writers of the 20th century, most famous for a 16 year sojourn writing the Uncanny X-Men from 1975 – 1991, with his last few issues selling in the region of 8 million copies each.
In the interview, we’re focusing on a superhero Chris created for the UK market – Captain Britain – in 1976 and his more experimental X-Men spin off – New Mutants – which he created in 1982 and returned to writing last month.
Also, in a 60 second (!) interview recorded at the premiere of Scott Pilgrim vs. the world in London, Alex talks to British director Edgar Wright about bringing a different kind of superhero to the screen .”
Panel Borders returns to its weekly slot on Resonance FM at 5pm this evening; check the Panel Borders site for more details and to catch podcasts of the show. Welcome back, Alex!
