Alice Cooper’s BBC Superhero History
Apparently, Alice Cooper is hosting a radio documentary on the superhero. From CR reader Matthew Craig:
The programme is called BIFF! ZAP! POW! (don't look at me: I didn't name it), and examines the enduring popularity of comic book superheroes, from their inception in Action Comics #1 to their current cultural renaissance (in the form of the Hollywood blockbuster). The documentary features contributions from genre legends such as John Romita and Roy Thomas, as well as people such as former Marvel UK editor Neil Tennant of The Pet Shop Boys, and dyed-in-the-wool fans such as comedian Stewart Lee, who interviewed Alan Moore for the round-robin radio series Chain Reaction, earlier this year.
The show is on BBC Radio 2 tonight 8:30-9:30 GMT. It may alsos be accessed on-line through the web site.
