“Art should be an adventure, and once it ceases to be that, you’re done.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>From A(ces Weekly) to V (for Vendetta): UK comics legend David Lloyd<\/a> joins the show to talk about his storied career, and how he made the shift from artist to publisher with the online comics anthology magazine Aces Weekly<\/a>! We get into his roots as a cartoonist and noir storyteller, the co-creation of V for Vendetta<\/a>\"\" with Alan Moore and what he thinks of the Guy Fawkes mask<\/a> he designed for V<\/em> being used by Occupy and Anonymous (and Trivia Revolution<\/a> bar posters), his stint in advertising and what it taught him about storytelling, the youthful experience of having his mind melted by Ron Embleton’s Wrath of the Gods<\/em><\/a> comic, the processes he invented to draw his 2006 graphic novel, Kickback<\/a>\"\", how he’s kept an ideas notebook most of his life and finds gold in decades-old entries, dealing with Moore’s tendency to overwrite and enforcing the boundaries between artist and writer, and what he’s learned about marketing in the internet era with Aces Weekly<\/em>. It’s a career-spanning conversation, so\u00a0give it a listen!<\/a> And go subscribe to Aces Weekly<\/a>!<\/p>\n

“I’m really pleased the V mask has become an icon of protest and resistance to tyranny.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
