Comments on: Shades of Peter Milligan http://jasonaaron.org/blog/2009/02/10/shades-of-peter-milligan/ A group blog and message boards for Vertigo creators Fri, 05 Mar 2010 04:43:52 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Cairo « Shazam.se http://jasonaaron.org/blog/2009/02/10/shades-of-peter-milligan/comment-page-1/#comment-1391 Cairo « Shazam.se Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:04:35 +0000 http://jasonaaron.org/blog/?p=302#comment-1391 [...] Cairo har några år på nacken nu (den kom ut 2007), men eftersom jag tror att många inte fått upp ögonen för G Willow Wilsons debutverk är den ändå värd en senkommen recension. Boken bygger delvis på Wilsons egna erfarenheter som amerikansk frilansjournalist i Kairo, men har också (som sig bör i en Vertigo-serie) ett starkt mytologiskt anslag i bästa Sandman-anda (fast förmodligen är egentligen Shade the Changing Man av Peter Milligan en bättre referenspunkt, åtminstone enligt Wilson själv).

And please? That would be great. So mysterious. A random blog post when we least expected it would be welcomed! I met Mr. Milligan recently for like a second or so at New York Comic Con.. Didn't have the time to mention that I love how he always seems to be so surprising with his works. I can never quite guess where the story will end up. Unexpected endings, and nary a let down. The unpredictable is never to be underestimated! At least I had the time to mention he is my favorite comics writer(probably favorite writer period even). And so many varied works... Keep it up, keep us entertained and happy. Flattery will get one everywhere! So please blog away in some form, somewhere, MR. M. We're awaiting. YaY. And please?

Willow Wilson and Peter Milligan discuss Milligan’s newly announced Vertigo title Greek Street, the draw of comics, and a serious lack of “juicy gossip” from the time of his X-Statix run: “Apart from Axel Alonso’s predilection for split-crotch panties, I’m not sure I have anything for you. There was never what you might call head-butting with the editors, but I was disappointed with the people higher in the food chain when the uproar about the Princess Diana story broke, and we had to fuck around with it. I thought, you Americans had a revolution so you didn’t have to worry about what our insane and largely inbred bunch of Royals thought. And here you are genuflecting like crazy because they and some of their subjects are pissed off  about a comic book.” (The above Greek Street promotional art is from Davide Gianfelice’s blog.)

Mr. Milligan is a longtime inspiration (ok, idol) to me as well. The admiration has led to me doing some strange "I don't do that sort of thing" sorts of things, such as getting into a bidding war for the 7 issues of Egypt on eBay (right down to repeatedly refreshing the page right down to the last second - and yes, I won... score). I got a chance to talk to Mr. Milligan for a while at a dinner in Barcelona (read: I was forced by the ex-boyfriend who wouldn't let me chicken out). The conversation remains one of my most treasured moments. He is such a doggone smarty-pants. Thank you for this. Mr. Milligan is a longtime inspiration (ok, idol) to me as well.

I've been wanting to ask him things for ages. The big one I've been curious about is how he was clearly at the head of a trend at Vertigo that explored queer and transgender identity and, sometimes, race consciousness in America and all that seems to have died down significantly. Is that just the change in fortune for postmodern literature or is it something different? Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll see this. I wish I’d had the chance to suggest a question.
