It was great, in that it made me realise that I really have no interest in making any further efforts to get published by Vertigo, ever. There’s just nobody there I click with.

When Shelly [Bond] came out to get me from Reception I swear to God I thought she was the floor security guard. Black man-trousers, sensible shoes. skinny red stripy tie and white blouse. I was like NO I WASN’T TOUCHING THE KRYPTONITE, HONEST MA’AM oh you’re Shelly? HIIIIIII.

When we got to her office, Shelly dismissed all my ideas out of hand - the pitch-book that Federica and Bertozzi and I took like two weeks to make, without even looking at it - then asked me if I wanted to write a pitch based on a newspaper article she had read that morning.

I know people produce some great work there, but oh dear heavens, not my kind of place.

The Minx freebies were so bad, I left them at Haspiel’s place as I couldn’t be arsed to take them home.
