I suffer from an occasionally recurring fear of comics, and was recently interviewed for a magazine article about phobias (by an alektorophobic journalist).ġ7. It’s not that I don’t like them, exactly, it’s just that I find them very hard to read – at least for the last ten years or so.ġ6. I read vast piles of non-fiction, but am allergic to most novels. I recently had a cartoon on the front page of The Pirate Bay, much to my surprise.ġ5. I’m using True20 for that game, in case you’re wondering (well, to the extent that I use a system at all).ġ4. I’ve been playing role-playing games since 1980, and am currently running a vaguely steampunk game entitled ‘The Golden Rose’ for a group of friends, one of whom was also at that very first game nearly 30 years ago.ġ3. My first published comic strip appeared in a New Zealand children’s magazine called Jabberwocky when I was 13 or 14.ġ2. I was conceived in Berkeley, California and was nearly born at sea.ġ0. I was born in 1966 and was thrilled to find many grey hairs in a recent (shortlived experimental) beard.ĩ. A fact of which I am inordinately proud.Ĩ. Another of my cartoons so enraged a former minister of finance that she cancelled a feature interview with the Listener. One of those strips was subsequently reprinted in at least two economics books.ħ. And in 1995-1997 I drew a weekly political comic strip for the NZ Listener, called Milo’s Week.Ħ. I’ve also written essays and articles about comics (among other things), some of which can be read here.ĥ. I’ve written scripts for DC Comics, including Hunter: the Age of Magicand Batgirl.Ĥ.
I am the author of the graphic novels Hicksville, Sam Zabel and the Magic Pen, the collection Incomplete Works, and the comics series Pickleand Atlas.ģ. I live in Auckland Wellington (we moved!), New Zealand.Ģ. (by Dylan Horrocks, proprietor of Hicksville Comics).ġ.
