General / Podcast w/ Pat Mills on Third World War
13 November, 2019, 08:21:18 PM
I interviewed Pat Mills for my politics. We talk the upcoming release of his classic late 1980s series Third World War. We cover the importance of politics in pop culture, the launch of Crisis, multinationals and the exploration of food, why Finn could once again capture the zeitgest like he did in the 1990s, the decline of the Brithsh comics industry and much more!

Anyone notice anything strange about this list of the graphic novels that the Guardian recommends each month?

:( :-[ ::) :'(

Howdy Everyone,

Geeky Monkey - a pop culture newsstand magazine - has a major retrospective on 2000AD in Issue 12.

The article looks at the history of 2000AD - the influences behind the comic, how quickly it established an international and hardcore readership, the negative implications of the British Invasion of America, and how the comic returned to health in the noughties. It also previews Prog 2000 with spotlights on the return of Gibbons, Bolland and McMahon and featured legendary characters Rogue Trooper, Nemesis the Warlock and Judge Dredd. It features interviews with Matt Smith, Molch-R and Ben Smith from Rebellion, Pat Mills and Gordon Rennie. I'd also be remiss not to mention that it features so much lovely 2000AD art reproduced - including the variant covers of Prog 2000.

Geeky Monkey is available in most WH Smiths and other good newssagents. You can also buy it digitally at https://pocketmags.com/viewmagazine.aspx?catid=1039&category=Tech+%26+Gaming&subcatid=241&subcategory=Gaming&title=Geeky+Monkey&titleid=2874&issueid=135306. I think people here will find it a very interesting read, and the better this issue does the more I can argue for greater coverage of 2000AD in its pages.


I should also mention that there's one and a half typos towards the end - the worst one my fault, the other my editor's :P

Something weird is going on - I can post in this section but not in any others. The Reply/New Topic boxes just simply don't appear. Anyone know what's going on?
