This page contains links to all of the articles about Bryan that I have
been able to gather.
I have used the phrase "articles" to cover anything text based
about Bryan, as it seemed a nice catch-all concept, and I couldn't think
of a better one! I have also created a stand-alone page for interviews
and conventions news.

Caroline
Callaghan reflects on Bryan's work over at the Pantechnicon site. |

Bryan is just about to publish a book of
anecdotes and stories about comic writers and artists, and the things
they get up to when they are "tired and emotional" at conventions...
Now - I've been to a couple of cons and heard Bryan's stories, and
they have had me literally crying with laughter! - I cannot wait until
this book comes out! See
press release on the Naked Artist and also see
the front cover. |

There are specific areas on
the site dedicated to Bryan's comics: check out the One
Bad Rat homepage, the Heart
of Empire homepage, the Luther
Arkwright homepage. |

Popimage
recently did a special feature on Bryan, and they have now removed
it from their site: however, I have preserved some of it for posterity
and reprint it here with their kind permission for your enjoyment:
first of all there is a review of Heart
of Empire by Arni Gunnarrsson; then there is the interview entitled
Bryan Talbot: the best kept secret in comics - a sentiment I heartily
agree with, of course! There is also an interview
with Bryan that they conducted, a review
of Luther Arkwright, and an example of the scripts
for Heart of Empire. |
 |
Alan Moore wrote an introduction
to the Adventures of Luther Arkwright book two many years ago and
I have now added it to the site. |

excellent answers to some meaty questions! - and thanks to Lorenzo
for permission to reprint it. |

One of the most original interviews
with Bryan that has ever been conducted is the Slipping
through the parallels with Bryan Talbot one, done by Brad Cook,
which has Hiram Kowolsky coming to our parallel to interview Bryan.... |
 |
Bryan has written a new introduction
to the reprint of the Brainstorm comics - and I think it gives greater
insight into his life than the regular biography! |
 |
Have a look at the Indy
Magazine's review of Heart
of Empire: it says so much, so well about Bryan's work..... |
 |
I have just added the Rat's
Whiskers, the foreword to the Tale of One Bad Rat by Stephen Gallagher,
and it's a very moving article. |
 |
After numerous people have
emailed me asking for advice on how to start up in the comics world
- advice that I felt utterly unsuited to give, as I am merely a fan
myself, and not an artist or writer - I asked Bryan if he could pen
some advice that we could update periodically: the result is in Bryan's
advice to new Comic Creators. |
|
Tasha Lowe from TheComicStore.com
kindly forwarded me the reviews that she had written about the Adventures
of Luther Arkwright and also Heart
of Empire. |

Added the first Shadowdeath
script today: I will add one of these a week until all six are

thumbnail Gallery is also worth a look) |

Kowolsky interviews Bryan Talbot.... (for readers who have not
