REDEYE PRESS RELEASE MAY 2007
(From Barry Renshaw, Editor, REDEYE MAGAZINE, for immediate release)

Over the last few years, the UK comic scene has seen an explosion in quality and quantity. Meeting the challenge of limited awareness and distribution head on, enterprising artists and writers have been turning more and more to self publishing with many astounding results, whether through traditional print media or the internet.

“With such a rapidly expanding industry, it can be difficult to know where to start, or how to get hold of the latest titles people are talking about,” says editor and publisher Barry Renshaw. “REDEYE MAGAZINE is specifically designed to not only help educate people and promote the comics industry by providing an equal platform for all creators, but also celebrates the rich history of the medium in this country. Its also important to compare and contrast with what’s happening internationally. It has grown in page count and scope to try and keep up with it all.”

The latest issue features interviews with popular Wildermere and Mixy creator Alex CF; autobiographical cartoonist Lee Kennedy; legendary Zenith and Invisibles artist Steve Yeowell; and critically acclaimed cartoonist for The Guardian and one half of Cabanon Press, Tom Gauld, who also provides the cover.

We also have feature articles including The 2000AD Art of Mike McMahon; a detailed retrospective of V For Vendetta from sketchbook to DVD release in The Road to Larkhill; a look ahead with the creators behind the latest Judge Dredd mega-epic Origins; plus an special guest column from the legendary creator Pat Mills on the nature of fandom in advance of the epic interview next issue.

Plus an exclusive preview of Top Shelf’s new graphic novel from Aleksandar Zograf, Regards from Serbia, with commentary from the artist.

Add to this preview art from upcoming titles, news, competitions and a massive expanded reviews section, and you have the magazine which Aintitcool.com called “a must have for those whose taste in comics lay outside of the mainstream.”

“Worth every penny.” Comics International
“Excellent… a vital read.” SFX Magazine
