Kinvig creator dies, aged 84
Or as the Beeb put it Quatermass creator dies, aged 84. Overlooking Kinvig.
This was brought to my attention yesterday on videowatchdog.blogspot via ILX and I was just trying to come up with something appropriate to focus on for an FT article but I’ve so far failed. Anyway important news you should know about. If I can write something about it later, you’ll know. I was thinking of his impact on horror/”adult” comix, but all i could think of is the debt/homage in early Hellblazers. All the telly stuff you should know about already. Right?
Laters.
I had no idea he was married to the author of the Meg & Mog books!
aw :(
i am glad he spoke at that ica showing of QM-on-TV
Not Meg and Mog, just Mog – different books! mog died a year or so ago. judith kerr’s better half.
ISTR seeing Q&TehPit at the ICA with you Mark and there was an old buffer who worked on the sets and effects – lovely fella but not NK himself. did he show for another screening (perhaps the QExp?).
oh! yes i think he must have — i forget now
but perhaps he didn’t speak — unlike the sets man — except to nod and smile at us

IDIOT ALAN. real actually related guardian arts article by Gatiss on the man. Gatiss appeared in the recent remake of the QExp. obv
Doh. I = fule. It would have been much better if it had been Meg and Mog. *sulks*
