The fine folks over at Moorcock’s Miscellany have reprinted my 1998 article "Michael Moorcock and the Comics of the Mutliverse" from Michael Moorcock’s Multiverse #6.
| Quote: |
| Moorcock then began working on a succession of comic magazines for Fleetway including Sexton Blake Library, Kit Carson, Robin Hood, and Billy The Kid, first on the annuals and then on the actual weeklies. The annuals were hardbound Christmas versions of the weeklies and monthlies.
During this period, Moorcock also edited issues of Thriller Picture Library, Cowboy Picture Library, and others. By 1965 he had written or co-written issues of Karl the Viking, Kit Carson, Buck Jones, Dogfight Dixon RFC (which he helped to create), The Life Of Alexander, Skid Solo, Zip Nolan, Highway Patrol, and Bible Story Weekly. Contrary to popular belief, Moorcock never wrote issues of Wrath of Gods, Deathworld, or The Trigon Empire. By the end of 1965 he had all but stopped writing comics. |
(I really didn’t plan on two Moorcock entries in a row. It’s just the way it worked out.)
