Hi - just to let you know, the latest 2000AD Review interview is up, with Mr Ed Berridge interviewing Mr Nigel Kitching. Lots to read and some nice AHAB character art among others.
You'll also find a preview of the new Tyranny Rex strip on the site...

Hey, editorial droids - *this* is the kind of stuff I want to see as in the Megazine/2000AD. How about running a proper interview with Pat Mills about Charley's War to go with the reprints? What about a "Coming Soon" centre-page spread with preview art from future thrills?
2000AD Review does a great job with this kind of thing - why can't the official publications do the same?

I wouldn't want to see such a long interview in the comic, as I'd rather see more art.
However, some variety in the questions asked of droids in those Meg features would be welcome.

That was a very interesting interview, Gavin. I now feel I know a whole lot more about a current 2000ad creator for having read it.
I loved Nigel's description of his typical working day, and I appreciated the detailed discussion of his previous work.
I wouldn't want to read an interview as long as that in the Megazine or 2000ad, though. Your website is the ideal place for it. I wouldn't mind reading a two-page interview in something like Zarjaz, but a little text goes a very long way in a Rebellion comic.

Of course you could do like that John Wagner interview that Logan did. An abreviated version appeared in the Megazine, and the full length one went up on Logan's site. That way, everyone's catered for.

Well if the Megazine or comic ever wants to feature an abbreviated version of an interview, they're more than welcome...

Yeah, yeah... no doubt you'll say the same next week when it turns out that A.H.A.B. has commandeered the ship to steal the mysterious "Chaos Diamonds" for his maker, R.O.B.O.T.N.I.K... ;-)

I'm sure I'll unjustly accuse him of stealing ideas from Jack Kirby before then...

bah - i reckon you've read the The "BAH! Can't go!" thread knowing full well i won't be there (although it's not like a hard-up write to forgo a beer)
it's my turn coming up on 2000adreview for prog 1393... A.H.A.B had better not have run out of steam by then :)

Until I read that interview I had no idea that Nigel did Decap Attack....
I owe you many pints in exchange for the laughs you gave me when I was younger. One of my fave strips, and I could never figure out why I couldn't find the game.... Turned out it was quite old, and it wasn't that great when I finally played it. Guess the strip raised my expectations.

Thanks for that. I loved working on those Decap Attack stories and I still believe that they actually may have been genuinely funny.
Some of them I wrote with my old mate Richard Rayner who was at the same time working on the grapic novel Road To Perdition. I heard they made it into a film or something...
Also I got the great Mick McMahon in to draw a few - I had to step down as artist but I was determined to work with my hero.

I'll have to dig out some of my remaining STCs now. I do remember that they still made me smile a lot when I last did that.
