Orbital In Conversation – Episode 146: The Fabled & Fairest Mark Buckingham [Podcast]

Hello and welcome to Orbital In Conversation – the podcast of Orbital Comics in central London! We’re very excited to join the team here at Multiversity Comics as not only are they an excellent group of people, but they share a similar level of taste and sensibility … It’s going to be a good fit.

On this episode, Chris sits down for a chat with writer/artist Mark Buckingham (Fables, Fairest, Miracleman). They discuss his early work as an animator with Aardman, working with Neil Gaiman on The Truth & Miracleman, his breakthrough as an inker in the ’90s, and what brought him back to pencilling again. They would’ve got further, but time was against them – so expect a follow-up soon.

Plus: as an extra bonus, the second-half of the episode features Mark walking guests through his recent exhibition at the Orbital Gallery, followed by a brief Q&A. There’s some really great stuff discussed throughout, so we hope you’ll stay with us through this slightly longer episode!
