No consideration of matriarchy versus patriarchy would be complete without looking at misogyny today, which has been transformed into a potent and coherent force known as the Manosphere, possibly more powerful than any patriarchal institution before. I say ‘possibly’, because the Catholic Church has had its own highly successful Manosphere for two thousand years.

Torquemada, my all-time favourite villain, returns in this volume. But it was actually Olivier’s doing, rather than my own. I’d originally featured an ordinary Catholic priest of my acquaintance for the role. He was a typical pervert who appeared to be holy, while in reality he was a wolf, a perfect basis for a werewolf. But Olivier rightly felt that the priest wasn’t big deal enough and a more classic figure was needed for the role.

Matriarchy versus Patriarchy (13)In my book Pageturners, I wrote about the bizarre events that happened to me in the 1990s that I called ‘A Castle in Canada’. After some three decades I could be frank about some aspects, yet still remain discreet about others. I’ve also written briefly about them for a German comic, illustrated by John Hicklenton. And they inspired me to write the trilogy Sha, illustrated by Olivier Ledroit and originally published in France.

My original idea for Resurrection was that it would be called SEA, because it was an alternative Earth where land and sea were reversed. Progressively – and certainly by the time we had reached book – it became transformed into Hell. And so it was that Olivier’s partner pointed out to me that if it was Hell, Requiem must have done something really bad while he was alive to be sent to a world of damnation.

I featured the Archons in Sláine as stone robots, like aliens out of a classic Doctor Who, but their exact physical nature remains unclear, ephemeral and perhaps unknowable.

Thanks. Yes, I picked that up in my https://t.co/uNc1MdpbjC review of Adolescence 'Enter the Manosphere'. The matriarchal aspects are seriously missing from Adolescence which is why I felt compelled to write about it. Especially as the media largely approved it
@PatMillsComics I thought that it might be of interest that the production company formed by Stephen Graham star & co-writer of Adolescence, & his wife, is called Matriarch Productions.
