Tripwire Magazine, the UK-based popular culture outlet based by photographer Joel Meadows, is popping 30 this 12 months. To have fun the event, Tripwire is teaming with Heavy Metal Entertainment to release the Tripwire thirtieth Anniversary guide, a 224-page softcover spotlighting the outlet’s work over the previous thirty years by means of a mixture of previously-published and brand-new materials.
Heavy Metal gives a breakdown of what readers can count on from the book:
The Tripwire thirtieth anniversary guide is graced by a canopy by designer Kit Caoagas and features a foreword by Image Comics’ Dirk Wood, an introduction by Previews editor Marty Grosser, traditional interviews with the likes of Alan Moore, Frank Miller and Mike Mignola, characteristic tales and different reprinted materials, a photograph gallery, Scott Braden’s Lost Tales comedian collection, a brand new Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders comedian by Meadows and co-creator/artist Andy Bennett, and a brand new Fred The Clown sketch by Roger Langridge.
The guide will even embrace pinups and artwork from the likes of Jock (Batman), Drew Struzan (Indiana Jones), Frank Miller (Sin City, Dark Knight), Walter Simonson (Thor, Ragnarok), Bill Sienkiewicz (Moon Knight, Batman), Laurence Campbell (Hellboy), and plenty of others. Meadows can also be contributing new thirtieth anniversary themed characteristic tales, together with a narrative about Heavy Metal’s historical past, an examination of Marvel motion pictures over 30 years, an inventory of 30 unbiased creators who’ve impacted the trade, and rather more.
In an announcement asserting the collaboration, Meadows and Heavy Metal Executive Editor Joseph Illidge each expressed their enthusiasm for the team-up and for celebrating Tripwire’s pearl anniversary:
“Tripwire hit a real milestone this year and we felt we had to commemorate it with something special. We had been talking with Heavy Metal for the last year or so and it all came together over the past few months. We had been looking at different ways of working with Kris Longo and Joseph Illidge at Heavy Metal and it has been great that this has come to fruition,” mentioned Joel Meadows, Tripwire Editor-in-chief. “The Tripwire 30th Anniversary book is the ultimate celebration of three decades of Tripwire and thirty years of comics and pop culture seen through our unique journalistic prism.”
Added Heavy Metal Executive Editor Joseph Illidge: “Just as the seminal British Invasion of comics changed the medium, industry, and world-at-large forever through the talents of luminaries such as Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean, and Alan Moore, it was Tripwire magazine that charted the evolution of artistic and literary perspectives in comics and graphic novels through a unique lens. Through the ups and downs of comics journalism, Tripwire endures, and we are a better community for it.”
