Grant Morrison, Watchmen, and the Art of the Polemic

“Our ‘War-is-Fun’ Attitude”: Shameless? Part 37

“Where’s Canon Fodder?”: Shameless? Part 36
Continued from last week. Though pinpointing exactly when Millar stopped working for 2000AD is an difficult business, he’d most definitely moved onto the American market by the time Canon Fodder returned without him in 1996. With the… [more]

Continued from last week. It’s not that Big Dave is without its pleasures, although the vast majority of them are to be found in Steve Parkhouse’s boisterously dynamic artwork. Though even he couldn’t compensate for the… [more]
“A Few Sandwiches Short of a Picnic”: Shameless? Part 29
Continued from last week. Given the evidence, it would be hard to argue that much of Millar’s work for 2000AD wasn’t worryingly homophobic. The best that might be said of a number of his scripts is… [more]
“He’s Camp as Christmas, but He’s Good as Gold”: Shameless? Part 28
