This short interview with Grant Morrison took place when his collaboration with Frank Quitely for DC Comics, We3, had just been published, around 2005, and first saw light of day on a fondly remembered science fiction review site, The Alien Online, which some of you may recall reading. TAO grew out of the staff recommendations [...]

Recently we mentioned on the blog that Steve Moore, scribe of many an essay, book and comic, friend and mentor to Alan Moore, had a fascinating new novel, Somnium, coming out, and as it is a book that carries an endorsement not only by Alan but also from Michael Moorcock it is quite obviously a [...]

I like Peter Hogan. We met over the ‘net when I interviewed him for this very blog (see here), and we immediately got on.

Today we have a wonderful treat for you – that notorious masked interviewer Pádraig Ó Méalóid has a cracking new interview for us, this time with the brilliant Bryan Talbot (or I should say Doctor Bryan Talbot now!) and, like his previous Alan Moore interviews here, its a long and in-depth piece, so we’re going [...]
