Miller’s Crossing by scott campbell

“ I’m praying to you! Look in your heart! I’m praying to you! Look in your heart! I’m praying to you! Look in your heart! I’m praying to you! Look in your heart…”

Those fine folk over at Factor Fiction have collected a second edition of strips from their trailblazing The Girly Comic into a handy paperback volume. From the press release:

The Girly Comic Book 2 edited by Selina Lock

Another collection of stories culled from the pages of The Girly Comic, featuring the talents of industry professionals such as Kate Brown, Justine Shaw, Asia Alfasi, mpMann, Alec Worley and Laura Howell, veteran indy creators such as Lee “Inner City Pagan” Kennedy, Terry “Sleaze Castle” Wiley and Jeremy Dennis, alongside exciting new talents from the British Small Press and beyond.

I haven’t seen a copy yet, but my story, Remembrance - illustrated by the Eisner-nominated Justine Shaw - is included. The Girly Comic Book 2 is available from Lulu for £10, as is Book 1.

I think I’m also in this, with a two page story I wrote, drawn by the wonderfully talented and sadly departed Charley Spencer. There’s always loads of good stuff in The Girly Comic, so you should definitely check it out.

OH BY THE WAY MOMBcast #142 came out last Thursday. It’s awesome! Well, it’s okay. But we talk about comics, and James nearly dies WHILE WE’RE DOING THE SHOW. Which HAS to be a selling point.

Also, James struggles through one of his delightful Asterix spotlights. This time, Asterix And The Banquet!

Go! Listen! Give us feedback! Share!

Over on his blog, Stephenson has responded to the unreasonably general fandom bleating:

“A lot of these creator owned indy books are little more than story boards for a movie pitch IMO.”

Nick found the post a little problematic, and has written about it over at MOMBcomics.

This was me! I wrote this.

More from the great magazine sort-out…

In 1996, Neil Gaiman gave an interview to a magazine - that I think was only a one-off CBLDF publication - called Warped Reality. I thought it might be interesting for fans of the man to see it.

(I’ll probably try and sell this magazine later on - the Gaiman interview is the only standout thing in it - although I no longer have the free gift flexi disc!)

Available to download in .pdf here, or .cbr here, although the .cbr is better quality.

mombcast:

There’s a preview of the Beasts Of Burden one-shot, Neighborhood Watch over at Dark Horse’s website. It is by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson.

You should go and read it, because it is swell. Even if you don’t usually read comics, but you like beautiful art, or cute things, or dogs or cats, or stupid chickens, you should take a look at this book.

It is lovely, and it will make you smile.

This is a thing that I said. I can vouch for it.

Behold! Alan Moore! Cliff Richard! Shakin’ Stevens! Alvin Stardust! A Black Dog! TOGETHER AT LAST!

This is a photo of Alan Moore’s appearance on Get Fresh in 1987. It was recently published in Gary Spencer Millidge’s book Alan Moore: Storyteller.

Gary very kindly gave me permission to post a scan of it - and says that the photo originally came from Alan himself.

The eighties were so very, very odd.
