Press release from Panel Borders:

“Continuing our month of shows about genre in comics, Alex Fitch talks to creators of small press and mainstream cowboy comics. Alex talks to veteran comics writer John Ostrander about his classic serialised graphic novel The Kents featuring the history of Superman’s great grandparents in 19th century Kansas and their encounters with the Luthers of the time, which is being re-released in three ‘100 page giants’ this winter. Alex and John also talk about Blaze of Glory: The Last Ride of the Western Heroes, Grimjack and his unrealized Doctor Who audio western.

“Also in an interview recorded at this year’s Bristol Small Press Expo, Tim Keable and Andrew Cheverton talk about their ongoing comic West, which has recently included horror tropes and guest artists, plus their future plans for the title and its graphic novel collections. (This is the 300th radio show that Alex Fitch has made for Resonance FM!)

“8pm, Sunday 13th November, Resonance 104.4 FM (London) / streamed at www.resonancefm.com  / extended podcast after broadcast at www.panelborders.wordpress.com”

West creators Andrew Cheverton & Tim Keable have been interviewed by Matthew Badham on his blog, which you can read here (also republished on Down The Tubes and the Forbidden Planet Blog). It covers the genesis and creative process of West up to the latest issue -  Stray Bullets, on sale here - and into the future, as well as announcing a couple of other projects for later in 2011.

The Comics Bureau interviews Blank Slate publisher Kenny Penman here:

“7 / What are the aims of Blank Slate?
Basically to publish work I like, in the best formats we can. Our focus is split between new UK cartoonists and some of the quality work from around the world not making it to English translations. I’d like to see our books get some ‘traction’ in the US and I want to have us selling foreign language rights to help improve the way people outside our shores look at UK comics.”
