Hugo Tate interviewed by Chloe Maveal at NeoText! (Well, sort of...)

Where’s Hugo Tate?

Hugo Tate is a comic strip I wrote and drew for Deadline, the legendary ‘90s UK music and comics magazine. (Both series were collected in 2012 by Blank Slate as a graphic novel.*) I’m often asked if there’ll be new Hugo Tate and why I don’t revisit the character. I often think about that, and why I don’t ever get around to it (probably because I’m overworked and underpaid, like most writers and cartoonists). I’m not saying it couldn’t happen… It absolutely could.

But don’t just take it from me… Chloe Maveal conducted a rather excellent interview with yours truly over at NeoText about my early days making comics. It features very special guest star. Click here to read it!

*Now out of print. I really should think about doing a complete collection.
