Mike Mignola: This goes back to the early days of the pandemic, where I just started banging out sketches just to keep myself from going crazy, and posting them to Facebook. Polygon: To start off with, can you tell me a bit about Radio Spaceman : how did you come up with the character and the design? This interview has been edited for clarity and length. I spoke with Mignola earlier this week about the comic and where it came from, as well as what his plans are for his long-running Hellboy universe. The comic will follow the adventures of a steampunk-like robot, and it’ll blend Mignola’s affinity for monsters and strange happenings. The two-issue comic event will hit stores next spring, and it’s based on a handful of pandemic sketches that went viral when Mignola posted them to the internet last year. The long-running gothic/supernatural comic has followed the adventures of the titular demon who works for the US Government to try and avert supernatural (and other) problems, and in the last couple of years, Mignola has been working to wind down the character.Īs he’s done so, he’s been working on a handful of other projects, including one new one: Radio Spaceman. For decades, Mike Mignola’s name has been attached to one comic character: Hellboy. An insular looking place, and one which might prefer to solve their own problems, look after their own, rather then let an ‘outsider’ take charge. Hunted every year, this is a strong tradition in a proud community which dates back centuries. Only the birds, the gannets are regular visitors to this place. The island is weather beaten, cold, remote, battered by the winds and ocean currents and lost in a mist of isolation. The sense of the blackhouse is dark and foreboding and a glimpse at the past and the history here. He also filmed the television series Machair there and although this novel is not in the Gaellic language, this is as authentic as if it were. Written by a man who loves the island and it shows. There are also descriptions of an ancient Lewis custom – where a group of men brave the sea to hunt birds on a remote island. The island of Lewis is described beautifully – the people, the weather, the customs and the black houses.

Yet if being a woman means always looking backward - to remind us of where we were, what we must avoid and how our predecessors managed in their own difficult circumstances - it means looking forward, too, as part of the ongoing exercise of hope that is also intrinsic to womanhood.Ĭlockwise from top left: Maria Grazia Chiuri (right) and Zadie Xa. I always say that history is not a line but a loop, and it’s been dismaying and frightening for many to watch as we tumble down the other side of the curve. I suspect many women, in America and around the world, feel they’re in a state of whiplash as they’ve witnessed hard-won freedoms and rights become imperiled in recent years. Poor women’s lives are circumscribed further women marginalized because of their race, sexuality or ability, further still. Make art, live alone, have children, don’t have children: A woman’s choices are often circumscribed by the era in which she is born, and then again by how tolerant, encouraging or generous the men in her life - beginning with her father - are. For most of civilization (and even now), the question was never what women could do - it was what we were allowed to do. “Conor’s Way” that was published in 1997 was the winner of the Best 1997 Best Historical Romance RITA Award.

This particularly well written historical novel brings two of the strongest points of Fitzgerald’s writing together. It looks into the years 1790 to 1797 when he was still a student, and especially into his infatuation with the 12-year old Sophie von Kühn who he meets at the home of the Rockenthien family and his immediate decision to marry her. The story is about a part of the life of the poet Novalis (1772-1801), real name Friedrich von Hardenberg, a Jena Romanticist. Penelope Fitzgerald is one of the greatest post-war English writers, with two remarkable talents: both shine very clear in this beautiful book. |
