While it must have been around for some time I just found this old interview with Garth Ennis that was very interesting. http://www.thepunishercomics.com/artist ... _ennis.htm
My interest in British comics must be related to my lack of interest in US Superhero comics. Ennis puts this so well when talking about being asked to include a superhero in his Hitman series:
...I chose Green Lantern because he's the goofiest stupidest one. To me, he's the epitome of everything that's stupid, f--ked up, pointless and silly about superheroes.
