Underground Comix on the CBC: More Please!

Arts Canada: Going Underground [posted 03-08-14]





I finally found a moment to sit down a look at the recent feature dedicated to the subject of underground cartoonists and comix put up by CBC Arts Canada. Going Underground features profiles on Seth, Ho Che Anderson, Julie Doucet, Chester Brown, & Jesica Abel. Audio Interviews with Chester and Jessica, some audio pieces on Underground Comics, Comics in the movies, and a Comic Convention Soundscape. A flash slide show reading by Seth, the opening monolog from ‘Clyde Fans’, a fairly decent interlocutory reading list, and a cute armature auto-bio comic set up by the gang at Arts Canada who put out the site.

A good website, defiantly the sort of thing we need to see more of on comics in general, and on the Underground. Possibly right here if I can rope some collaborators together for it…



Also if you’re in the mood for more of the same

check out this older site. A past feature by DNTO [who incidentally just interviewed Chester and Seth on the 20th of sept] from 2001.



Belgrade 2001:Back From the Brink. Going live just before 911 it was eclipsed by the news of the day shortly after being posted but it’s really worth a look if you missed it, and having just, also a revisit. An in-depth overview of the recovery of Belgrade, one section title ‘Ink on Paper’ covers the politically vital underground comics scene of Belgrade and tells of the roll they played during and after the war.



Not quite Underground, but akin in spirit, there's a great interview on NPR's Talk of the Nation this week with Neil Gaiman & P. Craig Russel [mostly talking about Neil, or working with Neil, Neil Neil Neil Nil Nih Nih Nih Nih !] I tease but this is a fun listen, Neil is as ever the adept public speaker and charmer.
