• 5:12 PM. An Interview with Edward Snowden

  After three months Peter Taylor managed to secure an interview with Edward Snowden, the US national security whistle blower. He was eventually told to send an SMS with the number of his Moscow hotel room and wait for a knock on the door. The knock, to his relief, came on time. Snowden was offered asylum in Russia two years ago. He says he has been in negotiation with the American authorities and is prepared to go to jail, but expresses no regret for revealing to journalists details of extensive internet and phone surveillance by American intelligence and their British counterparts. He denies that he is a traitor and asks who has caused more damage – himself or those conducting what he says were unlawful programs. The US Justice Department has filed criminal charges against Snowden, accusing him of espionage and theft of government property.

  In recent decades comics, artists and writers have stretched the boundaries of what we typically thought of as 'Comics'. Familiar scripts about super-heroes were joined on bookshelves by full-length autobiographical works that came to be called graphic novels. Often rejected by the mainstream comics industry, comics creators wanting to do new things started their own companies or went underground and by the 1990's the alternatives comics industry was in full swing and in the digital age they have flourished (RNZ)
