Editor's Note

Matt Waldram14th July 2006...that's the date And Cream Magazine was officially 'launched'.  Sure it had existed as a weird sort of blog-zine hybrid for about a year up until then (and boy was that original Uri Geller interview milked) but it wasn't until that date in '06 that we became real.

Which means that this issue celebrates our 2nd Birthday!!!

Hard to know how to celebrate the Birthday of a magazine, and after a little bit of brainstorming, our minds wandered onto other subjects which were more interesting.  I.e. how excited we are about the launch of Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated DC Comics sequel THE DARK KNIGHT. 

That led us onto other stuff...like how many Superhero films - some good and some....not so good - are being churned out of the Hollywood Sausage Factory at the moment.

Thus, a Superhero theme was held aloft like a shining Excalibur to the skies and it was agreed that Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull was a massive, festering turd (and that we should do the Superhero theme to celebrate our 2nd Birthday...because we had long since got bored of that particular conversation).

Thanks to everyone who has read the Magazine over the 2 years, thanks to the Cult Icons who have been such lovely interview candidates, and thanks to every single guest-writer we've had.

So there you have it - 2 years on and filled with all the goodies you see below...

In this issue...

Adam K really wanted to get a tie in between Asian cinema and Superheroes...and what better way to do that than to lazily hyperlink to an article he wrote months ago.

God Bless that Adam.

Adam's 12-Inch Piece As a special treat this month, Adam Krajczynski offers you length and quality; inviting you to feast on his 12-INCH PIECE which he neatly measures up against Steve Watson's ongoing UNIFIED THEORY OF EVERYTHING.
