The man with the golden cock tells us about his first foray into writing a comic

Former LeftLion editor Al Needham has been fascinated with bare-knuckle boxer Bendigo ever since a relative mentioned that there may be a family link. Al was given the opportunity to learn more about the former Champion of England in the latest issue of Dawn of the Unread. Here the two discuss their love of comics, their approach to collaboration, and, of course, Al's golden cock with wings...  

Bendigo Against Nottingham is part of the Dawn of the Unread series.
