Northern Irish illustrator Bridgeen Gillespie talks about curious rabbits, hissy fits and being open to interpretation;

And as part of his 100 Days, 100 Cartoonists series, Citizen Badham talks to creators Adam Cadwell and Jim Medway about unconventional narratives, the value of the everyday and deflated balloons.

I HAVE BEEN, AND ALWAYS SHALL BE...

CURRENT SOUNDTRACK: Still nowt...

And continuing the TREK heavy theme, from last weekends Collectormania Milton Keynes show...





I've been mulling over my reaction to the Trek reboot film. I stil intend to see it again, at some point soon hopefully. But I think my reaction was summed up by someone else who said, they enjoyed it, but it didn't feel like a Trek film. And I think that was the point.

THESE ARE THE VOYAGES...

CURRENT SOUNDTRACK: Nowt.

Been sitting on these really until the issue was at the printers. The CI: STAR TREK COMICS SPECIAL covers all the Trek incarnations from the 60's to the present day, interviewing creators past, present and future, including Dan Abnett, David Messina, Gordon Purcell, Diane Duane, and many more, even Walter Koenig. I really enjoyed the challenge of redesigning each section around the aesthetic of each show, whether Starfleet, Cardassian or Borg, though I regret not doing a Klingon one. That'd be fun.
