With Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman & more - even the Joker - after three decades I'm back in Metropolis and Gotham City in November with KINGDOM COME by Mark Waid and Alex Ross, a fully cast, cinematic audio drama from DC and Penguin Random House Audio, with music by my SANDMAN pal James Hannigan.

An illustration from the graphic novel KINGDOM COME showing Superman, Wonder Woman, Green lantern and members of the Justice League Of America preparing to do battle against the forces of irresponsibility and hatred.

He’s a creator, not a paper pusher, thank goodness.

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

I’m just grateful to be in such exhausted company (as Stan Laurel might put it)

She was 15 — Anastasiia Hrytsiv. Killed by a Russian missile in Lviv overnight, along with her entire family.

They died together, in their own home — torn apart in seconds.

Just another Ukrainian family wiped out by Putin’s war.

Very likely!

Wonderful.

RIP John Woodvine. He, Jenny Agutter & Brian Glover reprised their movie roles in our BBC Radio ‘An American Werewolf In London’. In rehearsal I took him through an extra scene I had written (with John Landis’s permission). “Don’t worry Dirk”, said John W, “I’ll do my best to improve your writing…”
