![]() ![]() The novel series is called Read Em And Weep. You could say, it’s my own vision of how Misty could have been. ![]() And right this very week I’m writing the fictional account of how Misty was created. So here we are in 2016, and 2000 AD have done a fantastic job of reprinting two popular Misty stories: Moonchild (written by me, art by John Armstrong), and Four Faces of Eve (by Malcolm Shaw and Brian Delaney).Ĭoincidentally, I’m in the middle of writing the first text novel in a series with Kevin O’Neill that could be described as a darkly humorous alternative history of UK comics publishing in the 1970s. In terms of reader comments, the Misty post is probably one of my most popular blog posts. And The Herald has a great in-depth Q&A with me on the subject ( Graphic Content: Pat Mills tells the behind-the-scenes story of 1970s girl horror comic Misty).īut of course, that interest in Misty (and girls’ comics in general) has always been there. I first wrote the below post in October 2012 as a digression on a series of posts I wrote on J udge Dredd, back when the idea that Misty would actually get a decent reprint seemed like an impossible dream. I’ve just done an interview with Samira Ahmed for BBC Radio 4’s art and culture show Front Row for broadcast tonight at 7.15pm (6 Sept 2016). ![]() ![]() So delighted with the imminent reprint of Misty by 2000 AD, and the huge interest it’s generated. ![]()
