WIZARD:
the guide to comics #31
(March 1994) (by Henry T. Colonna III) This is definitely one of the most interesting Bisley interviews, and one of the most "in-depth" too. 6 whole pages in probably the most important magazine about comics (note: Gareb Shamus, owner of Wizard, owns some cool Biz original art hanging in his office), that's a "must-have" for fans. There's another version of this issue, with a Lobo cover by... Glenn Fabry, as far as I remember. - Main topic: Melting Pot and Lobo. - Other topics: Kevin Eastman, work-for-hire jobs, violence in comics, editors, trading cards, his influences, him influencing artists, his technique, the Weapon Lord video game... |

COMICS
INTERVIEW #101 (1991) (by Peter Sanderson) Very interesting one also, with a long discussion about Judge Dredd, Batman, and Judge Death as characters, and good questions, maybe a little too focused on the Batman/Dredd book. - Main topic: Batman/Judge Dredd: Judgment On Gotham - Other topics: Death (in general...), New York, Lobo, what he likes to do, his work,... - Quote: "Ideally, what I'd like is just to do painted covers. Because I can make $1500 on a cover, to do the same I'd have to do an entire episode of Lobo" |

1990 annual special (by Xavier Hannart) Sorry English-speaking folks, this one is in French ! This is actually the first interview Biz did, as far as I know. He's not famous at all at the moment, and has only done two major works in England (ABC Warriors and Slaine). The interview is great anyway. - Main topic: Slaine, the horned God - Other topics: writers, his technique on Slaine, Heroic Fantasy, ... |
