Troy’s Book Club: Special DG Chichester Edition

This Spring, I had a fantastic opportunity to chat with a writer whose comicbook scripts have been pretty significant to me over the past years. And this is kinda a big deal, as DG Chichester hasn’t written any comics in the past 20 years! Chichester was a very busy editor and writer in the mid-80s to late-90s…then he disappeared from comics until 2023!

Thanks to the power of social media, I came across DG on Bluesky, and had some comments back and forth about how much I enjoyed the comics he wrote in years past. I found out that he still had a passion for comics, and being rather accessible, I asked him if he’d consider participating in a group-Zoom chat with the comic book-reading group I am part – The ComicBook Panel – and he said YES!

(below, two panels from my favorite of his works, TERROR INC.)

So, to prepare for the Zoom, which would be done as an interview between me and DG, I read and re-read as many of his comics as I could track down! 🙂 It was a fantastic time, locating comics, and being transported back to the early 90s of Marvel Comics!

I managed to read his entire run of: ST. GEORGE, TERROR INC., CRITICAL MASS, a few issues of NICK FURY, AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D., a bunch of issues of DAREDEVIL and DAREDEVIL BLACK ARMOR, the HELLRAISER/NIGHTBREED: JIHAD crossover, and a pair of issues of WOLVERINE. It was great seeing how his unique style of writing traveled from one character to another…

The interview with DG was a real blast, and I and my comicbook friends had a darn good time talking with him about all sorts of topics! You can find the entire interview at my YouTube channel. Enjoy!

You can also find my interview with Emil Ferris at that channel, too!
