RIP John Hicklenton

[Peter Wolf]

That does look like an interesting unique story.

Reading the excerpt, I didn't realise he actually took his own life in the end. I guess he knew he was going and decided to go out on his own terms. Sad.

It was the most empowering thing to do in those circumstances.

Oh, I didn't intend that as a statement of judgement.

I never thought or said that you did.

just ordered the book.

does anyone know if Here's Johnny can be found on-line ?
impossible to find in the states.

the more i find out about the man, the more i understand why his art moved me so.

We don't charge more for international postage! Plus there's lots of extras that have to be seen, plus the amazing artwork on the cover!

Don't think a full version is available online, but a clip is on our website,  www.animalmonday.co.uk
and click documentary tab.

Sorry to partially derail the thread, but im interested in what was said above.
Over here, in the uk, we habitually deregionalise our dvd players so they'll play anything. Do Americans not do this? I ask because when i mentioned this to some canadian friends and relatives, they stared at me like i was mad.

We do?

[SmallBlueThing]

Yes, we do. Or at least, we do if we're the type who like to watch movies released in foreign climes.

Wuuuh?

[das]

yep, here in the states all the media players are locked down to region1

[Wake]

The Here's Johnny DVD is region 0 anyway.

I still have one copy signed left at Termight Replicas.

[Mike Carroll]

Just watched my copy of Here's Johnny which arrived today... (Thanks, Wake! Did I buy the very last one?)

It's a fantastic documentary, and a great glimpse into John's life. I admit I wasn't a huge fan of his work when it first appeared in 2000 AD - it was just too bloody scary - but now I can spend hours just pouring over a single panel.

He comes across as one of those guys you just want to be mates with - I wish I'd had the chance to meet him.

If you haven't bought the DVD yet, I urge you to do so. Right now!
