Strip!: Widening genres
5pm 03/07/08 Resonance 104.4 FM (London)

In our penultimate collection of interviews (before we get to broadcasting panels) from this year’s Bristol International Comics Expo we have a smorgasbord of interviews with creators and curators of a variety of genres. Our new roving reporter Dickon Harris talks to legendary humour cartoonist Hunt Emerson and to Top Shelf publisher Chris Staros, while Alex Fitch investigates a love of retro horror comics with the editor of the EC Comics magazine ‘From the Tomb’. Also, in a sneak preview of the forthcoming Comics and Zines celebration in Museum Street on the 19th of July, Alex talks to organiser Jimi Gherkin about the event.

To quote one of the stars, Oliver Lambden: “Alex Thomson, Jack Tomkins and Jon Hull recently completed their final piece for their film degrees at Manchester Uni and they decided to make a short documentay all about Modern Monstrosity and The Camden Comics Stall. Give it a watch, it’s bloody awesome, the soundtrack’s amazing, it’s only ten minutes long and it’s viewable here…”

(For the sake of accuracy, I’d like to point out that my car is grey and not red; little did I know that I was driving Indiana Jones to the Temple Meads of Doom…)
