So... earlier this year, Peter and Daniel of the Young Indy Chroniclers podcast dug up an old relic, dusted him off and put him in front of a microphone to talk about the Young Indiana Jones strip he wrote back in the late 20th century and it's now available via the podcast purveyor of your choice.

Had a great time at Develop Brighton, meeting and talking to so many people taking creative approaches to the ongoing pressures within the industry.
And, as a non-Brighton resident, I appreciated IO Interactive's approach to ensuring guests knew where their post-conference mixer was taking place.

Felt like an ancient artefact being unearthed to talk to the Young Indy Chroniclers about my second professional job: a weekly Young Indy newspaper strip written by me, drawn by the much-missed Phil Gascoine for the Daily Telegraph back in distant pre-history (1990, actually).

Delighted, excited... but most of all grateful to be part of the small but perfectly formed writing team on this.

Enormously sad news. Comics have lost an immense and singular talent. Ian's family, of course, has lost much more.
