An interview with Kirby!!!!! Is it still available anywhere? Would like to read or hear that. Was it published and if so, where?
Never having interviewed anyone, I'm full of admiration for those who have the knack. I've been interviewed a few times and it can be a bit nerve wracking, especially if it's going out on t.v.
Neri, I collect the ones I mentioned and also the British Picture Libraries. There are some war issues with Pratt art but I don't have them, nor do I enjoy war comics. I'd much rather read Corto. A friend recently found 2 Famepress titles, which are reprints of Italian stories (the whole series is and they were printed in English, in Italy, Milano, if memory serves) and although the art is mediocre, I've asked if I can buy them when he's read them.
Another format which intrigues me is landscape and my collection includes a nice selection of Spanish, French, Dutch, Belgian and (a couple) of Australian examples. This is where another Mister X comes in - the guy with the atomic belt. Finding Italian landscape comics is really difficult and would be expensive if I could locate them. I believe the French refer to landscape comics as format Italien, which is odd as Spain seems to have published a simply huge amount of format Italien comics. The landscape comics that seem to be easy to find are striscie (lilliputs, piccolos) and they seem to have been published in many European countries, and I've found them in Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Italy and even some British examples. Although the price for a set of Plutos is well outside my limited budget.
I'm curious about Romano il Legionario. Are there any sample pages or articles that you could point me to?
I love Jacobs and Vandersteen and have a small selection of De Rode Ridder and in Amsterdam recently, I found a reprint of Vandersteen's, Mars-Commando's op Aarde. Lovely.
Now I have more questions for, and reading to do, on VCF, and there is so much to take in. But that's half the fun.
