American Update: Classic Vintage UK Zines on US Comics – Chain Reaction, Fantasy Advertiser, Panelhouse, Worlds Collide and more
*Magazines/Books About Vintage US Comics: From the 1970s through to the 1990s, a selection of the ‘zines which defined a generation of UK fandom, including Chain Reaction, Comics Forum, Comics Unlimited, Direct Currents, Fantasy Advertiser, the Panelhouse, and Worlds Collide! These are from the archive (well, disorganized storage boxes!) of 30th Century’s own Will Morgan, who under his ‘maiden name’ of Howard Stangroom, was a prominent contributor to all of these ‘zines and scores more. Subjects of the articles and interviews in these issues include Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons, Sergio Aragones, Moebius, Alex Toth, Hugo Pratt, the Brothers Hernandez, Alex Ross, Gil Kane, Colleeen Doran, and Bryan Talbot. With extremely limited print runs (seldom exceeding 500, and sometimes fewer than 100), these are increasingly rare items, featuring art and text by many people who went on to professional careers.
