Andy "Wolfmen" Bloor
So who are you then and what do you do?
I'm Andy Bloor and I earn my living doing graphic design.
In whateverfree time I can find I attempt to draw comics.
What have you done that we might recognize?
Most probably The Wolfmen from Accent UK
as well as numourous strips for the AUK anthologies too.
What have you done that we might not know about?
I've done a logo for a new Image comic 'M Theory' due out in September.
What are you working on now that we should look out for?At the moment,
chipping away at the Wolfmen sequel' Fall of theWolfmen'
as well as my strip for the latest AUK anthology 'Western'.
Also helping Dave and Colin with other top secret Accent UK goodness...
What piece of work are you most proud of and why?
Even though there are bits I gringe at and would love to change, it'sgotta be The Wolfmen book. It's not often you have a free reign to do whatever you want, get it published and see it shops and have folksdrop their hard earned cash for a copy. I'm working hard to make thenext one as good as I can.
if I could buy only one thing you have worked on that you feel sums upwhere your coming from what should it be?
As I'm a little known small press guy, it has to be The Wolfmen again...
I've always been a fan of werewolf stories and I think this book offers a new slant on the genre.
What book would you have been proud to have worked on and why?
Gosh, let me think... out of everything I think the book that most made me think 'I wished I thought of that!' was The Nightly News byJonathan Hickman, a near perfect melding of comic art and graphicdesign... plus a damn good story told in a innovative way. His follow up Pax Romana might even top that.
If you could work on any book / character in comics what would it be and why?
Batman, no question - without a doubt one of the most iconic characters and for a guy with no powers... surely one of the most interesting.
Who would you most like to collaborate with on an original story with and why?
I'd most like to collaborate with Alan Moore...
for the simple reasonthat he's the best writer comics has ever seen.
Will never happen of course, but a guy can dream :-)
If you were allowed only five comics (does not have to be single issues a run counts as one) on a desert island (like Lost) what would they be?
Akira, Watchmen, Animal Man (Grant Morrison), Y The Last Man and Preacher.
Do you have a website / blog where we can find out more?
My blog is still a work in progress, but you can check it out here:
If you were a sandwich what would your filling be?
Ham.
Chocolate or Chips?
Chips.... from a chip shop :-)
Judge Dredd or Batman?
Batman.
What word do you think is underused?
Gobbledygook
If you could be granted one superpower which would you chose?
Super speed, so I could get Wolfmen 2 done quicker!
Save the world or rule the galaxy?
Save the world... ruling the galaxy seems like too much hard work.
What is your ultimate "who'd win" in comics?
Green Hulk vs Grey Hulk... they'd probably kill each other!
If you could be involved in telling a story featuring any twocharacters who would they be?
Probably Batman (yes him again) and Daredevil.
What is the best and worst thing about working in comics?
Best thing is seeing you work out there - in print and people enjoyingit.
Worst? bad reviews I guess.
Will you forward this to someone you know who works in comics. Please
JI'll see what I can do.
Any words of wisdom before you go?
I wish I'd be at bit more spontaneous. Sometimes I feel like goingout, stealing a traffic cone, putting it on my head and saying, "Lookat me, I'm a giant witch."
Cheers,Andy
