Richard Foreman
Author · 1 book
Having completed a BA in literature at Essex University in 1973, Richard Foreman took on a variety of occupations including community arts and theatre work. In the late 1980s, writing as ‘Dick Foreman’, he became a full time scriptwriter of comic strips, progressing from one-off stories to a monthly series for US publishers DC comics. The series, ‘Black Orchid’ ran for two years. Following this, his working life switched to other interests, but he continued writing quarterly scripts for photo-stories/comic strips in ‘Who Cares?’, a national magazine for children in care for 20 years. Since 2009 he has returned full time to writing. Following a series of well-received articles for Alan Moore’s ‘Dodgem Logic’ magazine, he began work on ‘Wilful Misunderstandings’, a collection of short stories each based on the reinterpretation of a word, phrase or saying. This will be published by Lepus Books in April 2016. He has recently contributed to the magazines ‘Roundyhouse’ and ‘Tears in the Fence’ and is currently writing a novel.
