Re: Slaine movie
PMillsLIVE: Hur, hur (sarcastic laugh).
I was commissioned to do a Slaine TV bible which included an opening
movie length episode. Currently nothing further's happened although
there have been discussions with an American studio about it. More I
should not say. I refer you to my laugh at the beginning !$
Re: Nemesis
PMillsLIVE: I wish! I wish! Here#s the score... It should really
return drawn by Kevin O'Neill. An opportunity for that to happen fell
through. I think there may be a guest spot maybe in the 2000AD issue.
But that's it. The reason is, new stories are pushing through and new
readers have never heard of Nemesis. I wish we had the same attitdue in
this country as Americans have - e.g. the Marvel Universe , which has an
extended , an ongoing shelf life. But the weekly format is such that a
story can easily get pushed out if the artist or writer isn't awalys
available or if another story is demancing that space. It's a shame -
but there you go. If you feel strongly about Nemesis, do write in and
say you#d like to see it back. Maybe they can ber persuaded.
Re: Slaine's first episode
PMillsLIVE: With enormous pain! My wife at the time Angie drew the
first episode. It cost us both a lot. She'd never drawn a comic strip
before and it was vooted the most popular strip the first time any strip
has beaten Dredd. I believe this is largely down rto Angie's
achievement on the art. Because her face didn't fit, all this was
quietly forgotten about She found the atmosphere in male comics so
horrendous she left comics for quite a while. #Whenever I get a chance I
always give her a plug for her work... which was not really overtaken
until Glenn Fabry and Simon Bisley came along . McMahon did a great but
v different Slaine. Shit! I've gone on a bit here! You've obviously
struck a nerve!
