From Our Continental Correspondent – Waste Not, Want Not: Le Sketch
Le Sketch is the idea of the moment: why waste the paper trims that are cut off from normal print jobs (after the pages of a book are cut to size), when you can use them to promote good comic art? That’s what American cartoonist Matt Madden and Portuguese designer Paulo Patricio thought when they [...]

21. April 2009
The SF Crowsnest talks to the frankly brilliant author Sheri S Tepper about her latest work, The Margarets (a contender for this year’s Arthur C Clarke Award), and her long and distinguished career.

John Freeman tells us that Jeremy Briggs has posted up an interview with Keith Page, stalwart artist on a number of DC Thomson’s Commando Books (which have been enjoying a bit of a nostalgic renaissance recently with some massive and enjoyable compilation editions) as well as working on 2000 AD, Eagle and many others, over [...]

16. April 2009
At the end of March the Phoenix Convention took place in Dublin’s fair city with science fiction, fantasy and comics creators and fans enjoying a damned fine weekend.

15. April 2009
“So with this book, we were able think, okay, if the readers are perhaps going to have to wait for a little while between chapters, then it would perhaps make sense if we did this as three quite lavish 72-page books. You have an over-arching story [across three books] that would be complete in themselves [...]

19. March 2009
Over on Blockbuster Buzz Owen Vaughan talks to Mark Millar and John Romita Jr about their comic Kick-Ass and the forthcoming movie, being directed by Stardust’s Matthew Vaughn and independently financed as most studios, as Millar puts it, simply didn’t get it, at least until they saw some footage. “This makes Wanted look like the Prime [...]
