Magazine watch


Issue 2 of Filmstar Magazine has just gone on sale - of interest to western fans is a feature/interview with cult film director, Alex Cox who talks about his new book, 1o,000 ways to die which looks at the Italian westerns from a film directors perspective. Add to that all the current movie news and some nice retro cinema features makes this my current favourite among the many movie magazines. It reminds me in content of the short lived Uncut DVD. Let's hope this mag has a long future ahead of it.

The latest issue of Wild West Magazine (vol 22, no 2) is now on sale. Sporting a Bat Masterson cover the magazine is filled with the usual interesting historical features centered on the Wild West. I found the article on Jessie Evans (one time compadre of Billy the Kid) to be of special interest.

The current issue of 2000AD sees the end of Savage Book four with the American invasion of fortress Britain. I don't buy 2000AD regularly these days but always follow the Savage stories. The character was my favourite back in the day and I'm pleased with the way the writers have taken the character in the new updated series.
