OK, it's the first time I've been interviewed over the phone, and i seem to have developed a charming girlish giggle :-P Anyway, here i am talking about Hotwire to a couple of genuinely nice guys who loves their comics:
">Here's the cover to Hotwireissue #2. Buy my book- I'm trying really hard:-) I'm going to be doing some promotion for Hotwiresoon, including some podcast stuff... so you can hear my weird English voice! links will be posted as i get them, and you can find an interview and artwork at the link below:
"Radical Publishing executive Barry Levine, co-founder and Senior VP Jesse Berger and Co-Publisher and Editor in Chief David Elliott, will be debuting their new company to the world at booth #2701, July 25th-29th at the 2007 San Diego Comic Con tradeshow"
...and Alice is all set to join in. There's some art in the Hotwire gallery to get the feel of what she's about, but for fun, here's a toon drawing of Alice H. I originally wanted to draw a manga style Alice, hence the "Engrish" captions, (I love Engrish, it's like accidental poetry!) but she ended up a looking a bit Ronald Searle around the eyes, so i went with it . And here's a link to the Comic Book Resources story on Radical Publishing.
Hotwire, a character I co-created with Warren Ellis, finally gets a life beyond pin-ups in her first published short story. It's named "Filthy", and will be printed in Atomeka Publishing's "Bojeffries Terror Tomes #1"
Alice Hotwire is a detective-exorcist for the London Metropolitan Police, and although she works in the ghost capital of the world, she's treated little better than the city rat-catcher. Written and drawn by me, details on publication dates as i get 'em....
