PEPlans!
I know the paper copy of PEP! 1 has not yet come out (due to EBKAC problems at my end – it will be out within a couple of weeks), but plans are well underway for PEP! issue two.
A short list of what’s been proposed for the issue – bear in mind that *NONE* of this is confirmed yet, life gets in the way, people’s plans change etc…
Alix Mortimer on ‘the neutering of political personalities’
David ‘Vibrational Match’ Allison, with what promises to be another standout piece, on “80s Transformers comics, Morrison’s Zoids, various Transformers and Pixar movies, All Star Superman, Joe the Barbarian, maybe Oh Fuck I’m 40 [the Richard Herring show]” and *possibly* a second piece, on ” The Prisoner, Jack Kirby’s Mister Miracle and Prisoner comics, Morrison ‘s Mister Miracle, and Seven Soldiers #1.” if he has time to write both (unlikely, but here’s hoping…)
Debi ‘Innerbrat’ Linton on prehistoric animals that sound like band names
Holly on The Clangers and rugby.
Gavin Robinson on ” how gender ideology is a lie that makes itself true.”
Richard “Millennium’s Daddy Richard” Flowers on Babylon 5 and/or Zoids
A comic by Wesley Osam on band names that sound like prehistoric monsters.
Along with possible contributions by Gavin Burrows, Alex Wilcock and Bill ‘Pillock’ Ritchie.
I’ll be contributing at least three, possibly four bits – an article on Cerebus, one on the Beach Boys’ Smile, and possibly one on Seven Soldiers. I’ll also be doing introductions to everything, in the form of a surrealist play entitled “Rassilon And Omega Are Dead (Or, Waiting For The Other)”.
PEP! 2 – the magazine for people interested in interesting stuff – will be out in May…


I’m pretty sure I said “neutering of politicians”. If not, I meant to.
(The unkindest cut of all…)
Will edit accordingly…
Just double checked – you said personalities, which I read correctly but then mistyped. It’s that EBKAC problem again…
Do you have any idea why your LJ feed isn’t working, Andrew?
Appears fine to me – just had a look and the last four posts were up. But looking at your profile, you appear not to be subscribed to it…
Uh.
I don’t know how that happened.
Normal LJ cockuppery, I suspect. I remember many, many times when it would suddenly unilaterally decide I didn’t want to be someone’s friend any more…
