Prisoners of Gravity: Families (Part 3/3)

From the episode guide:

The Commander will once again be spending the holidays alone this year, and has decided to look at the role of families in his favourite genres: Why do comic book characters band together to form surrogate families? And why does science fiction portray families as both the protector and as the greatest threat? British comic book artist Neil Gaiman talks about his book Violent Cases, and comic book artists Bill Sienkiewicz and Matt Wagner discuss the representation of families in their work. From the science fiction side of the fence, Rick talks with writers Garfield Reeves-Stevens, Lewis Shiner and husband-and-wife team Pamela Sargent and George Zebrowski.

Interesting the stories that weren't covered on this installment, especially "The Midwich Cookoos" which involves a group of children from different countries that were possibly seeded from one source. It's possible that either the author couldn't be contacted (he might have already been dead) or there was a time limit imposed that prevented the writers to include more material. Still, another excellent installment! Thanks for posting!
