*There you are, confident that you have this aspect of life worked out or that aspect pinned down, when whamm, it changes. It dies or grows or becomes something entirely new. That's what happens with my life anyway, and that's the sense of mutability that I try to bring to Shade. For all its weirdness and bizarre takes on life, Shade is a simple story about real people (albeit sometimes really strange real people who are attempting to navigate their way through an unpredictable changeable and often crazy universe. It's also about madness, which is ironic, because if I didn't write about the things I do in Shade they'd probably manifest themselves in some other way, and I'd be carried off in a straitjacket. - Peter Milligan *Source: Back of card
