BRISTOL: CITY OF FEAR
BRISTOL: CITY OF FEAR
The good news - apparently People In High Places are taking an interest in my work and my minicomics have taken the festival by storm.
The bad news - fifteen minutes ago I had a ringside seat for a riot. It’s not the violence, it’s the speed - glass breaks, then another, then the shouts, then raising the head to see a chair sailing across the room into the face of J Wellington Wimpy in a Bristol City shirt not two metres away from your face. Bristol City lost today, and lost big. That’s the news breaking.
A new experience for a middle-class introvert living in seclusion in sleepy old Fishergate. If not for Jamie Boardman, who instinctively and instantly went into command mode and got us out the back, things would have been a lot worse. Jamie is 2000AD’s graphic novel supremo and his second latest bit of good work has been the alliance between 2000AD and DC Comics to reproduce the comic’s greatest hits in TPB form, backed up not by dodgy old Titan but by a corporate machine of extreme power. These will include the complete painted DREDD/BATMAN, SAM SLADE: VERDUS and various 2000AD/DC team-ups and dream-ups that I’m too adrenalined up to go into.
I just bought Jamie a pint of Carling. Feel free to follow my lead and buy a 2000AD trade paperback.
