CONTENTS
DANNY DEVITO Actor-director Danny DeVito’s latest film, The War of the Roses, stars Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner as a yucky yuppie couple in the throes of a divorce. Trevor Johnston, in unstilted conversation with the little big man, trips over an ego.
ONLY ANOTHER WORLD CUP Inspired by William McIlvanney’s Pathe’ News-style commentary of Only a Game?, a mickey-take radio cult was spawned. With the World Cup in Pizza-land only weeks away, Stuart Bathgate quizzes the programme’s producer on the game of two halves.
UK COMIC ART CONVENTION Are comics readers maladjusted train-spotters or clued-up, tuned in, trendy adults? As ‘graphic novelists’ prepare to exhibit at the 1990 UK Comic Art Convention in Glasgow, Alastair Mabbott talks to the bearded guru. Alan Moore. who will be conspicuous by his absence.
PUBLIC ENEMY Public Enemy have yet to be number one. but they’re first on Zionists’ hit list after opening their mouths and letting their prejudices rumble. James Haliburton charts 3 year (and a bit) of their notoriety.
