Well now, here’s a thing. Fans of films and magazines, and magazines about films in specific, will no doubt already know about Electric Sheep, a journal of the more … deviant side of cinema, as they say themselves. It’s been a good place to find comics about film, thanks mainly to Alex Fitch’s tireless role as cartoonist wrangler, and the latest issue should prove no exception, with contributions from such luminaries as Sean Azzopardi and Mark Stafford.

And me, of course.

Now, I’ve not seen a copy, but I’m widely informed by the electronical internets that my comic review of Richard Stanley’s Hardware pops up in the magazine’s shiny pages. The strip is done in a modified version of the Unfriendly Romance format and allowed me to be very rude about Dylan McDermott in a public forum, so I have that to be thankful for.

The magazine costs the princely sum of £3.75 and can be bought at all of the sites listed if you pop through this handy link, or alternatively you can go direct to the same website and order away to your heart’s content. Remember, I’m trying to foster an elite cadre of completists, so you’ll be wanting to get in on the ground floor of that.

But don’t just take my word for it:

Electric Sheep exists as a quarterly magazine published by Wallflower Press, for sale at the price of £3.75. Each issue explores a different theme taken from the dark cinematic basement we have made our home. It contains exclusive content not available on the website. Electric Sheep online continues to review weird, wild and wonderful film and DVD releases every month.

SUMMER 09 – SUBSTITUTE: Black for white, stranger for lover, master for servant, robot for human, cross-dresser for femme fatale.

Substitute is the theme of the summer 09 issue of Electric Sheep, with articles on the fraught relationship between Takeshi Kitano and ‘Beat’ Takeshi, the various cinematic incarnations of Patricia Highsmith’s Ripley, interchanging identities in Joseph Losey’s films, the dangers of false impersonation in neo-noir Just Another Love Story, the paradoxes of black and white twins in offbeat lost classic Suture, not to mention cross-dressing criminals, androids and body snatchers.
