He mentions turning up on the Millarworld forums. Would anyone be interested in inviting him here? I know that having more people actually involved in the creation of Grant's works, particularly The Invisibles, is always good.

After much discussion we discovered we had a shared ambition to produce the weirdest, most "out there" comic ever seen. We reminisced about Sixties British comic-strip characters like "The Steel Claw" & "The Spider" and how these characters were so creepy and morally ambiguous. You never quite knew if they heroes or villains. There was something seedy about the very execution of these strips... an atmosphere I wanted to capture in whatever strip Grant and I worked on next. Grant also had an ambition to do a modern-day version of Gerry Anderson's "Captain Scarlett" character, so that was thrown into the mix too.

anyone know a lot more about the strips he's talking about here?

Mystery Gypt, look here..

(By the way, elsewhere on that site, there’s lots there on all the British superheroes Grant slaughters in Zenith Phase 3. If you’re interested in such things, obscure Brit superheroes can be odd as fuck)

i found that page, and a bunch of others around that site that describe that characters, etc. i'm wondering if anyone around here has actually read any of that stuff, thinks it particularly interesting, sees the relationship between them and the filth, knows hwere there are noteworthy reprints, etc etc.

I suppose the nod to Nick Fury and the Gerry Anderson TV series [UFO, THUNDERBIRDS] pretty much cover that aspect.

in any case, here's Captain Scralet.
