Comics Britannia

[Ragnar]

Has anyone else been watching this series on the history of British comics from the BBC? I watched the last one last night & it dealt with the more modern, adult stuff, it had interviews with Pat Mills, Carlos Ezquerra, Alan Grant and an extensive interview with the mighty Alan Moore (oh.. and the guys from Viz ).

It'll be well worth keeping an eye out for a repeat later in the week. Highlights were Carlos Ezquerra sketching a picture of Dredd while being interviewed & Alan Moore reading some of Rorsach's lines from Watchmen. Excellent stuff

**edit - Ooh... there's an extended verion of the Alan Moore interview here;

I caught the last two episodes of this. Very interesting and the Alan Moore parts were brilliant, especially the Rorschach reading.

I saw the adult section. I found it so fascinating to hear the authors and artist's of my childhood hero's discussing their work. The section on 2000ad was very good.
