| The
Questionnaire
So who are you then, and what do you do?
Bryan Talbot. I write and draw comics.
What have you done that I might recognise?
Er...dunno. Brainstorm Comics? Luther Arkwright?
Nemesis the Warlock? Judge Dredd? Batman? Sandman? Fables?
The Tale of One Bad Rat? Alice in Sunderland?
What have you done that I don't know about?
Met Marc Bolan? Lectured 500 Chinese students in Szechuan
Province? Served hot dogs at Wigan Central Park rugby ground?
Been whale-watching off the Australian coast? Grown aspidistras?
Tell me something you have not told anyone else.
Alan Moore is a god damn tea-drinker.
Chocolate or Chips?
Black olives.
What word do you think is underused?
Thrutch.
What book do you wish you had worked on?
Any Harry Potter – I’d be rich.
What book do you think would have been better if you had
worked on it?
Luther Arkwright (me now, rather than me then).
Are you underpaid or overrated?
Definitely underpaid. If I was overrated I’d be overpaid,
which I’m not.
JLA or Avengers?
Who cares?
Thanos or Darkseid?
Darkseid, just for Jack Kirby’s sake.
Judge Dredd or Hellboy?
Dredd. Mike Mignola won an Eisner Award I was nominated
for once. And we were sitting at the same table! Is that rude
or what?
The Darkness or Shadowman?
You mean the band or the movie? The movie.
Are your choices influenced by your current employer?
Absolutely. He’s a total bastard. I’m self-employed.
If you could be involved in telling a story featuring
any two characters, who would they be?
King Kong doing something disgusting with George Bush.
If you were a sandwich, what would your filling be?
Bacon, avocado, tomato and watercress.
Can you get me a job?
Yes. You could do all the boring work here – on a voluntary
basis, of course.
Save the world or rule the galaxy?
Rule the galaxy – as a benevolent dictator.
One thing that annoys you about comic fans? (Only one
please!!)
I wish they wouldn’t show me their artwork. Sometimes it’s
good. Usually it’s...indescribable.
CGC - blessing or curse?
Both.
Who sent this to you and do you like them or merely tolerate
them?
You did. (Thats Batmanuel!! Cap O)I’ve never
met you!
Who are you going to send this on to and do you think
they will reply?
Nobody. They probably will.
Any words of wisdom before you go?
What the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve.
The seeds of crime grow bitter fruit.
Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight.
Thank you and goodnight!
Ay thang yew! Bryan
