Thanks for the recommendation - that was really interesting.
Along with that, I watched "Future Shock! The Story of 2000AD".
The problem I have with documentaries is that, often, I'm not sure whether I'm enjoying them as films in their own right, or finding the subject matter fascinating, and not thinking of the appeal they might have to someone without an interest in that area. (I was an avid reader of the title until the mid 90's or so).
With that in mind, I can wholeheartedly recommend Future Shock to anyone with an interest in British comics, or 2000AD in particular. As to whether it works as a film, other people would have to decide - I do think that the personalities involved are really interesting; Pat Mills in particular is fiercely passionate about the title, and what it means for this peculiarly British iteration of a global art form. The story of its struggle with owners who didn't understand it, or value the talent of the creative people involved should also have a universal appeal.
Anyway, while I'd not recommend it as wholeheartedly as something like "Senna" (a film I love, despite a complete lack of interest in motorsport or Formula One) I do think that it works well enough as a film to be interesting to people without a huge investment in comics.
