Panel Borders: Underground Heroes
To be broadcast 19/06/08 as part of Strip! on Resonance 104.4 FM
Continuing our series of reports from this year’s Bristol International comics Expo; In this episode of ‘Panel Borders’, Alex Fitch is talking to a quartet of underground writers and artists who have created comics books and strips that bring a new angle to British superhero comics. In the podcast we have Adam Hamdy and David Golding, creators of the horror/ superhero comic The Hunter which is influenced by the West’s so called ‘war on terror’, and Alex Morgan who writes and draws Captain Bristol, a strip in the local listings magazine ’suityourself’. Alex also catches up with Oliver Lambden, creator of Tales from the flat, a superhero sitcom which casts himself and his friends as the characters in the story.
