Igor Goldkind
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Igor Goldkind worked first for Titan Books in the 1980's and then for Egmont Fleetway in the 1990's as a marketing consultant and PR spokesperson. During this period, he was credited with popularising the term "graphic novel" in British bookselling circles, and creating the intense media focus that surrounded the UK launch of the Batman story The Dark Knight Returns as well as Alan Moore's Watchmen.
In the period 1991-1993 he was a regular writer for 2000AD, working on the ongoing Judge Hershey character, as well as creating The Clown, a satire on the works of Neil Gaiman. However, following several disputes within the industry, after a year Goldkind left mainstram comics industry to set up multimedia media company Artemis Communications developing comics-based interactive CD-ROMs.
