Legendary fantasy author Michael Moorcock returns to Forbidden Planet TV to chat with his old pal Andrew Sumner about his long-awaited all-new novel The Wounds of Albion and the just-published paperback edition of The Albino’s Secret (co-written with Mark Hodder). As usual, they also get into whatever else Mike feels like chatting about, including: Moorcock’s upcoming “Evening with Michael Moorcock” at the Chelsea Theatre; the great Tarzan artists (including Burne Hogarth, Hal Foster & Joe Kubert); Sexton Blake versus Victor Drago; MM’s just-completed manuscript Stalking Balzac; Sumner & Moorcock’s mutual distaste for horror movies; Mike’s relationships with Thomas M. Disch, William S. Burroughs & Mervyn Peake; MM’s view of Michael Dirda’s new book The Great Age of Storytelling and a departure into foot-based injuries and AI-driven medical diagnosis. Special appearances from the mighty Linda Moorcock and Lizzie the Cat. Watch here: https://youtu.be/6BBgMkKxrt0?si=MNAEoJmw1C0oUoW_
