Back in the early 1980s I produced several fanzines and stripzines (or "small press comics" as they're called today). One of them was Fantasy Express, and the fifth issue contained a lengthy interview by Eddie Stachelski with Alan Moore.
I understand this was the first in-depth interview with Alan Moore that appeared anywhere, although there have been hundreds since of course! In the 11 page interview Alan talks about his then-current work on Captain Britain, V for Vendetta, and Marvelman amongst many other things.
The print runs on fanzines were very small. Fantasy Express had a print run of 150 to 200 so it's very rare! I sold copies through the post or at comic marts / conventions. Even a local newsagent took a few.
Most of them were sold back in the 1980s but this week I'm putting an unread, unsold edition from my personal collection up for auction. Condition is excellent, as it's been carefully stored away for 35 years. Interested? If so, head over to my eBay page to find out more and see a few photos. Bidding ends on Sunday 17th March. This Sunday! Good luck!
