Sez Dez Book 1 

Dez Skinn's career in putting together fantasy film, TV and comic magazines has spanned over 50 years. 

He has worked on:

• IPC/Fleetway humour weeklies (Whizzer & Chips, Buster, Cor!!)
• Warner Bros poster mags and monthlies (Monster Mag, House of Hammer, Tarzan)
• Launched the world's longest running sci-fi magazine Starburst
• Headed up Marvel UK and launched Hulk Comic, Doctor Who Weekly and a host more
• Created Warrior, birthplace of V for Vendetta and the revived Marvelman
• Produced 200 issues across 16 years of leading industry trade mag, Comics International.

...and that's without mentioning the number of writers and artists whose careers he has launched and his convention organising and London comics shops.

Stan Lee, when head-hunting him to revive the ailing British Marvel, suggested he wrote a weekly bullpen page in all the titles, and came up with the name Sez Dez. So who was he to argue?

This first volume covers the early days in his career amd the heady times of London during the Oz trials, the three-day week and the IRA bombings.
