Episode Synopsis
We talk to Tim Quinn - Comic Book Writer, Illustrator and Editor. Growing up in 1950s Liverpool and being enchanted by the music of The Beatles, Tim would start his career as a clown at Blackpool Tower Circus before beginning to work on BBC TV’s Good Old Days music hall series where he got the chance to write scripts for top comedians including Ronnie Corbett. From here he would enter the world of comic books and spent many happy years as scriptwriter, illustrator and editor on The Beano, The Dandy, Dr Who Magazine and Whizzer & Chips before heading Stateside to work for Stan Lee and the mighty Marvel Comics Group. Tim has lived in Indiana, been editor for America’s oldest publication The Saturday Evening Post and producer for LWT’s The South Bank Show. It's quite the ride and an incredible story.
