Michael Moorcock praises Titan's editions of MOORCOCK'S MULTIVERSE and REPORTS FROM THE DEEP END!

Michael Moorcock returns to Forbidden Planet TV to chat with Andrew Sumner and heap praise on Titan Comics' recent archive editions of his epic Moorcock’s Multiversegraphic novel series (mainly illustrated by the mighty Walter Simonson) and Titan Books' J.G.Ballard-inspired anthology collection REPORTS FROM THE DEEP END (featuring Mike's Jerry Cornelius short story, THE MISSISSIPPI VARIANT). As usual, Moorcock & Sumner get into a load of other topics along the way including:
Iain Sinclair’s Pariah Genius; Titan Publishing's expert production team; Mike’s upcoming Forbidden Planet TV episode with Walter Simonson; the brilliance of Howard Chaykin; DC Comics’ Bob Wayne; the glorious UK 2024 election result and Mike's view of Keir Starmer; Mike’s long friendship and experiences with J.G. Ballard; sculptor & screen-printer Eduardo Paolozzi; publisher Michael Dempsey; Christopher Priest, John Brunner & fantasy author pseudonyms; the life and career of anthology editor extraordinaire Maxim Jakubowski; Moorcock’s Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle and his detestation of Malcolm McLaren; Irene Handl playing Jerry Cornelius’s mother; Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer and the noir beauty of Robert Aldrich's Kiss Me Deadly; the woefully-underrated John Carter movie; the wildly-underrated Phantom movie starring Billy Zane; Phantom 2040 designed by Peter Chung; the recent-and-superb two-part French movie adaptation of The Three Musketeers; the boundless energy of Douglas Fairbanks and Mike's meeting with Douglas Fairbanks Jr; the problem with Roy Plomley and Mike never being invited onto Desert Island Discs - and (drum roll, please) Moorcock completing the triumphant conclusion to his Eternal Champion series: THE WOUNDS OF ALBION (publishing in 2025)!

Puts a smile on my face, makes me laugh, captivates with tales, these conversations are a treat, thank you again. Simonson / Chaykin / Moorcock .. those would be entertaining.

Would love to hear Mikes selection for desert island discs..

[@greatestytcommentator]

That should totally happen!

[@waltera13]

Love that Outlaw Bookseller shout out!

[@waltera13]

Outlaw Bookseller was supposed to be in that "Reports from Deep End" collection - long story, but ironic, no?

[@themojocorpse1290]

Enjoyed the Ballard and Keith Roberts anecdotes , and Ballard not liking music and being on desert island discs l made me chuckle great interview all round . Loved Michael’s work since I was a Cold War kid .

[@jmatos316]

Is there a guide now that helps us understand how the series stands now? Like what book goes where and when? I want to read the series again, but I'm not sure what the order should be now ... :)

[@ForbiddenPlanetTV]

We'd like one of those too! This is the clearest version we've seen so far at Forbidden Planet but it needs updating: www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/ldgk6w/one_possible_reading_order_for_michael_moorcocks/
