Concluding Sci-Fi comics month on the podcast Panel Borders, Alex Fitch talks to artist Kevin O’Neill about his work with writer Pat Mills, from his early days working on Nemesis the Warlock and A.B.C. Warriors for 2000AD to the hero hunting cop Marshal Law the paid have created for various publishers.
Recorded live in front of an audience at Sci-Fi London, Alex and Kevin also talk about the film adaptations of his work, from the infamous Hardware (based on the short story, Shok!) to The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, loosely based on the comic he co-created with Alan Moore.
The Art of Kevin O’Neill was originally broadcast as an episode of Strip! on Resonance 104.4 FM.
