Garth Ennis
  • Garth Ennis is the writer behind The Boys and Preacher (both now hit Amazon Prime TV series)
  • Begins 7pm, Saturday 9 March 2024, with a recording to be made available following the live stream
  • Interview and audience Q&A free to view and take part in, with donations made during the stream supporting the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Trust.
  • Ennis will discuss the war comics he read growing up, his own work, and the influence on him

Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum will stream an interview with the renowned comics writer Garth Ennis on Saturday 9 March 2024 from 7pm GMT, followed by a live Q&A session where the audience will be invited to put forward their own questions. Watchable via the museum’s website, the event is the latest in a series of popular online events the museum has been running over the past three years.

The interview ties into one of the museum’s most recent exhibitions, Into Battle! The Art of British War Comics, which runs until the end of April 2024. The exhibition and this accompanying event are a collaboration with Oxford-based publisher Rebellion, best known for 2000AD and Judge Dredd, alongside their recent revival of a number of classic British war comics.

In the interview, Garth Ennis – the acclaimed writer of The Boys, Preacher and Battle Action – discusses how his childhood enthusiasm for comics led to a career writing for 2000 AD, Marvel and DC Comics.  He will also discuss the landscape of British War comics in the seventies and their decline in the eighties, and describe how writers re-invigorate classic characters for contemporary audiences.

This event will offer a chance to hear from one of the leading comic book writers, whose literary achievements have recently been translated into successful television series.

The interview will be followed by a live Q&A.

Garth Ennis began his career on Crisis, 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine, for which he wrote Judge Dredd, Strontium Dogs, True Faith and others. Outside of the ‘Galaxy’s Greatest Comic’ he is known for Preacher, The Boys, Hitman, Marvel’s The Punisher and a great many war comics – including War Stories, Battlefields, Out Of The Blue, The Stringbags and Sara.

The interview and Q&A will be free to view and participate in, with donations encouraged throughout the stream in support of the museum. Soldiers of Oxfordshire Trust aims to preserve the county’s military heritage for future generations in its archives and museum, and a diverse range of stories through its exhibitions and events like these. Shortly after the live event ends, a recording will be made available to watch on-demand, from the same page, for those that wish to catch-up later.
