Any readers of the DFC may remember Philip Pullman's popular DFC adventure series, John Blake (illustrated by John Aggs). In a recent interview with Philip Pullman on the Phoenix Comic's blog, Philip has told us the news that John Blake is going to be made into a film! A very exciting piece of news!

"Of the things I’ve enjoyed most as a writer was creating the story of JOHN BLAKE for the much mourned DFC. I hope John Blake is going to be a film in the not too distant future."

Quote by Philip Pullman from: http://www.thephoenixcomic.co.uk/blog/2 ... comic-fan/

I loved John Blake and was upset to see its first series come to an end although I heard it returned a few issues later (after Robot Girl's first series ended I presume?), I wouldn't know this as I only have Issues 1-8 after Will Flicking kindly sent them to me for free to get inspirations from. :)

I hope the film goes to plan and I can't wait to see it in cinemas!

That's good news, harry. Oh, any new recruits for The Wizzo? Peter Gray, or anyone? What strip is Wayne Thompson drawing?

It doesnt really explicitly state they are making it into a film just that they want to.

Wayne'll be drawing a few Blong and Zappy stories for us.
Also I've hired 3 more artists, I'd love to get a few interested on this forum though.

Oh yeah, I must've misread it, thanks Tin-Can. :)
