Major new announcement in Ep 119!

Got an upcoming interview planned with Mr. Starkings...any questions you'd like to ask him?

I've dotted our 'i's and crossed our 't's. Not going the 'Kickstarter 'route for obvious reasons. I have all our ducks in a row and will be making an announcement as soon as I talk to the whole team.

Q: What will the running time be of this film?

A: It's very hard to Judge (Pun not intended) as it can change in the edit.

You should be able to tell or at least give a rough guess based on the script. If it 'can change in the edit'...it's not going to change by much...and by much I mean a minute or two.

...and it still reads better than IDWs regular Dredd series.

The problem is that its always the extreme left and extreme right that battle it out and the moderates are lost in the dust storm that blows up and you can thank the press and TV for that.

Amen.

I'm in Manchester at the moment and will probably pay a visit to 'travelling man' and 'forbidden planet' at some stage. Should be fun.

Richmond - if Marvel , DC or any other big American company offered you the chance to write for them but the character was a scantily clad superheroine , would you do it? It's a big money gig - relocation to the US , with a foot in the door of the big industry. Would you do it?

No I would not. I've got the courage of my convictions. I find the likes of Power Girl to be disgraceful and fit only or the wank fantasies of 13 year old boys. And I don't give a shit if you believe me or not.
And frankly - it's a bloody stupid and irrelevant question.

Have to disagree. It all depends on the writer and artist. To say the likes of PowerGirl is disgraceful and fit for wank fantasies does Jimmy Palmiotti and amazing female artist Amanda Conners's excellent run on that book a disservice. You obviously haven't read it...if you did, you'd change your mind.

10 out of 10! IDW get it right this time.

Been dying for this! Did you mention Mrs Brown's Boys to him Flint?

Yes. Because we both have an animation background. 

First part of the interview is posted on the ECBT2000ad site. Also, I talked to Mr. Smith today and he's more than happy to talk to his fans as long as it's between 3 and 5pm...that's when he's available! So, don't be afraid...drop him a line and tell him how much you appreciate his incredible body of work.

The first part of the Ron Smith interview is up!

I did call Mr. Smith and I did interview him for a couple of hours. The interview will be posted as soon as I get his daughter, Hannahs permission. Ron is a fantastic man and he's aware how much the fans love his work. The man a comic strip genius.

What kind of art tools does he use?
How long does it take him to pencil and ink a page?
Has he ever thought about writing his own comic strip?
Does he draw full-time or does he have a boring 'day' job?
