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.

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
