Lineup and details for An Audience with Dez Skinn - British comics legend.... on Wednesday 8th July 2009

 Dez

For one night only, the Lass O'Gowrie gives you the chance to put the questions to Dez Skinn - arguably the most successful and outspoken editors and publishers of the post war comics scene.  He's worked with all the big names - Alan Moore, Steve Dillon, Dave Gibbons and has opinions on everthing and everyone.  The Jeremy Paxman tale is worth the admittance price alone!

We promise you THE career-spanning interview any comics fan of the 70's, 80s and 90's has been after for years! Helmed by Adrian Salmon, Gareth Kavanagh and Leon Hewitt you'll hear about how Dez was headhunted away from editing the UK MAD Magazine and House of Hammer for Warner Bros, became editorial director for the UK arm of Marvel Comics, where he reported directly to Stan Lee and launched Doctor Who Weekly and Hulk Comic, among other titles, founded his own company, Quality Communications, he founded and edited the comics anthology Warrior which went on to win 17 Eagle Awards, introduce V for Vendetta and revive Marvelman/Miracleman launch the comics trade magazine Comics International, which he published and edited for the following 16 years.

 "Dez, in my opinion, is the UK Comic Book market." ...Steve Geppi, owner: Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc.
