Comic Cuts - 6 September

If you're wondering why there hasn't been a mention of the two books I did for Carlton, the explanation is that there has been a slight delay at the printers for both Unleash Hell and Death or Glory. As far as I'm aware, the books are shipping to Carlton within the next few days and should be distributed immediately. I believe part of the problem was the time it took to get the artwork cleaned up.

No such problems with The Bumper Book of Look and Learn. It's out and copies are selling well at Amazon. Tonight we're at 894 but we almost hit the top 100 at one point.

And now, the news...

* The Forbidden Planet International Blog has some excellent coverage of the upcoming Comics Britannia season on BBC4, starting with a review of the show and an interview with producer Alastair Laurence (4 September) and following up with some comments on his experiences with the production by Leo Baxendale (5 September). Steve Flanagan at Gad, Sir! Comics! also has some comments about the series.

* Nick Abadzis is interviewed by Tom Spurgeon at The Comics Reporter (2 September).

* Steve Bell is interviewed by Steven Vass in 'Marching to his own toon' (Sunday Herald, 2 September).

* Douglas Wolk offers a reading of Grant Morrison in the latest chapter of 'Reading Comics'. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5. (Link via Journalista)
