Hace solo 6 años de 2016, el año de los tebeos que se premiaban en esta ocasión, pero de algunas cosas ya parece hacer toda una vida. Continuaba la hegemonía de Saga, un tal Tom King comenzaba a dejarse ver, comenzaba otra cosa llamada Black Hammer, Raina Telgemeier ya lo petaba entre la chavalada y aquella deliciosa marcianada de El Arte de Charlie Chan Hock Chye se ponía como el vencedor absoluto de la edición. Sabed, oh-yentes, que entre los años del hundimiento de Atlantis y sus brillantes ciudades, tragadas por los océanos, y los años del nacimiento de los hijos de Aryas, hubo una edad no soñada donde podía escucharse el podcast 264 de ELHDT.

We’re in the full swing of summer, and Chevon and Hiba are diving into a conversation about representation in the superhero universe and the comic book world!  DC Comics authors Gene Luen Yang and Minh Le join our hosts to talk about their projects “Superman Smashes The Klan” and “Green Lantern Legacy” and how their art and stories fit into the broader context around diversity and inclusion in superhero narratives. The conversation explores the origins of some of our modern superheroes, the influence of the events of WWII and the Civil Rights movement, and why comics are as important as ever to young readers of color.  Next time on our season finale, we’ll be shouting out some of our fans that have left us reviews –– stay tuned, same Momentum time, same Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast! Resources (by order of mention)  Wes Moore Talks Fighting Poverty, Budget Priority, Systemic Change + His New Book (via The Breakfast Club Power 105.1) https://bit.ly/38BdomY  Gene Luen Yang Official Websitehttps://geneyang.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/geneluenyang Gene Luen Yang: Comics Belong in the Classroom (via Ted Talks) https://www.ted.com/talks/gene_luen_yang_comics_belong_in_the_classroom Superman Smashes The Klan (via DC Comics) https://www.dccomics.com/graphic-novels/superman-smashes-the-klan-periodical-2019/superman-smashes-the-klan  Minh Le Official Website http://minhlebooks.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/bottomshelfbks Green Lantern Legacy (via DC Comics) https://www.dccomics.com/graphic-novels/green-lantern-legacy  March (series) by US Congressman John Lewishttps://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/1MA/march Thich Nhat Hanh: The Monk Who Taught The World Mindfulness Awaits the End of This Life (via Time Magazine)https://time.com/5511729/monk-mindfulness-art-of-dying/ The Shadow Hero https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18465601-the-shadow-hero The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye by Sonny Liewhttp://artofcharliechan.com/ Captain America Truth: Red, White & Blackhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/670341.Truth  About Race Forward: Race Forward catalyzes movement building for racial justice.

A Arte de Charlie Chan Hock Chye é genial. No quadrinho mergulhamos na história e na obra do Charlie Chan, passeamos por diversos estilos artísticos, e ainda temos todo o contexto político da época. A história é escrita de uma forma tão brilhante que as vezes eu não conseguia acreditar no tanto de tempo que eu tinha passado pesquisando sobre Singapura. Sonny Liew fez algo incrível aqui, serio gente, leiam. Charlie Chan na Amazon: https://amzn.to/2JjbbRG

Time Codes: 00:26 - Introduction 02:57 - Setup of interview 05:11 - Interview with Magdalene Visaggio 29:37 - Interview with Sonny Liew 58:43 - Wrap up 59:20 - Contact us A couple of weeks ago the first issue of Eternity Girl, the latest title in DC's Young Animal line, was released. Written by Magdalene Visaggio and with art by Sonny Liew, this is a title that combines parts of Element Girl with a dash of Kid Eternity, and mixes things up in an offbeat way that fits perfectly in the Young Animal world. On this interview episode, Derek talks with both Mags and Sonny about this new series, and both kindly agreed to be on the podcast. Listeners of The Comics Alternative will know that both creators have been on the show before. Derek spoke with Mags briefly at HeroesCon a couple of years ago, and then he along with Gwen interviewed Sonny around the publication of his landmark book, The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, a work that went on to win three Eisner Awards last year: Best Writer/Artist, Best U.S. Edition of International Material - Asia, and Best Publication Design. Since Sonny lives halfway around the world, in Singapore, there was a challenge in trying to find a common occasion when everyone could be online and all talk together. So they decided to break up the interview where Derek would talk with both creators separately, asking both similar questions, while at the same time focusing on each one's unique contribution to the series. This show begins with Mags Visaggio, with Derek asking her about the genesis of Eternity Girl as well as the differences between creating for Black Mask Comics and now working at DC. After that, you'll hear a conversation with Sonny Liew. He talks about his visual approach to this unstable, composite character and how his art style is particularly suited to the title. Derek also asks Sonny what it's like to be a multiple Eisner Award-winning artist and how his professional life has changed since last year's accolades.

The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye (2016) by Sonny Liew Despite really liking this, I don’t think it should have won the Eisner for “Best U.S. Edition of International Material - Asia” The Private Eye (2015) by Brian K.

We interview Sonny Liew, a graphic novelist, author of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, and a three-time Eisner Award Winner.

Should the government fund the arts? With Sonny Liew winning several Eisner awards, the national conversation once again veered towards the pulling of funding for his book (which ironically can be argued made the book a raging success) and whether or not the government should fund the arts locally. This week the Kitties gushes about Sonny's award-winning book, The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye and how awesome it is, but also take some time to level some criticism at Calvin Cheng, the main proponent that government should stop funding of the arts. But does Calvin have a point?

Today, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are back after a two week absence to talk about what happened at San Diego Comic Con this year, The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye by Sonny Liew, X-Men: Grand Design, the latest piece on Marvel by friend of the podcast Brian Hibbs, plus discussions of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Manga Poverty by Sato Shuho, and much, much more. Show notes are available at waitwhatpodcast.com, we welcome your comments and questions at WaitWhatPodcast@gmail.com, and we invite you to look out for us on Twitter, Tumblr, and Patreon!

Images and links to go with our conversation are at http://wp.me/p42KN3-F2L On this week’s Comics Syllabus podcast, I caught up with creator Sonny Liew about “The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye” (Pantheon) just a few days after he and the book won Eisner Awards for Best Writer/Artist, Publication Design, and International Material from Asia. After setting the scene and giving context to our conversation, I present my discussion with Sonny about the Eisners and San Diego Comic Con; the artistry, themes, and politics of “Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye;” and which of the book’s homages to comics masters he found most challenging to create. Let’s dig deep! (Apologies for the sound quality of the interview– explanation is in the episode introduction.) Then afterwards, in the “General Ed” segment, we feature “The Wait List” for August, joined by the podcast brother to look at upcoming collections and trade paperbacks this month. I’m Paul, and I’m inviting you to join us for another episode of The Comics Syllabus, a comics analysis podcast. Our mantra is, we read widely and we dig deep. Each week, we choose one work from a wide breadth of current and classic comics, including superhero fare, comics from independent publishers and small presses, global comics, newspaper strip archives, and various collected editions. We spend time digging deep into the work from various perspectives, sometimes in actual live conversation with others, sometimes with just me on a mic surrounded by a pile of comics studies and academic books. It’s like a comics seminar, where the only prerequisite is that you love comics. You can find the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, or Soundcloud, or copy this RSS feed to your podcatcher: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:235183739/sounds.rss or find archives for this podcast (previously named “Study Comics with Paul”) here: http://studycomics.club/ A rating, review, or star on whatever podcast source would help make the world a slightly better place.

Earlier this month the nominees for the 2017 Eisner Awards were announced at the Comic-Con International website, and as Andy and Derek like to do every year, they're devoting a full episode of The Comics Alternative to a discussion of the nominations. On this week's show, the Two Guys give their impressions of the various nominees, both as a whole and on a category-by-category basis, making observations and trying to understand any trends underlying this year's selections. However, Derek and Andy resist the urge to play armchair quarterbacks, so they don't second-guess the six-member panel of judges or focus on what they would have chosen if they had been on the selection committee. As diligent comics scholars, they judicial and discerning in their commentary. At the same time, they don't shy away from pointing out a few inconsistencies and a few head-scratchers when trying to make sense of this year's nominations. You can find a complete list of the 2017 Eisner Award nominees below.

Alex and Joshua are joined by Josh O'Neill and Robert Berry to discuss The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye by Sonny Liew.

We missed Wednesday, but for the World Comics episode, @TwoPlai looks at the Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye by Sonny Liew, culminating our four-episode focus on Liew's work. Pantheon published AoCCHC this March and TwoPlai argues it's one of the most significant comics works of recent memory, synthesizing dreamed-up comics history with the cultural and political milieu of Liew's Singaporean context, but significant to all of us as participants in a global comics culture. Also, TwoPlai highlights New Comic Book Day and stuff around the internet picks, starting around 42 minutes. Let's dig deep!

The current artist on DC's Dr. Fate, he's worked for both Marvel and Vertigo, and been nominated for an Eisner for his work on Disney's Wonderland. His latest personal opus, The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, is a meta-fiction masterpiece that tells the secret history of his Southeast Asia.

On this special on-location episode, Derek poses a series of questions to Sonny Liew during his recent visit to the University of Texas at Dallas. Sonny was a guest speaker for the School of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication, and he talked with the audience about his new book, The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, as well as his experiences within the comics industry. During the exchange, Sonny presented selections from his portfolio and fielded a variety of questions from students and other members of the audience about his art training, his work with DC and Marvel, the Singapore comics scene, and any suggestions he might have for aspiring artists and storytellers. He also discussed his work on other books, including Malinky Robot, Wonderland, The Shadow Hero, and his current run as the artist on Doctor Fate.

Recorded on March 31, 2016. Episode 323: The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye Meet Charlie Chan Hock Chye. Now in his early 70s, Chan has been making comics in his native Singapore since 1954, when he was a boy of 16. As he looks back on his career over five decades, we see his … Continue reading

On this interview episode, Gwen and Derek are pleased to have as their guest Sonny Liew, whose latest work, The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, was just released from Pantheon Books. They talk with the author about his mock biography and how it engages with comic-book history, the tumultuous politics of Singapore, and his own creative influences. Sonny also discusses the genesis of the project and his strategic use of distinctive art styles reminiscent of Osama Tezuka, Walt Kelly, Harvey Kurtzman, Frank Miller, and Jack Kirby, among others. This mixture of styles and genre influences makes The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye a unique work that's difficult to pin down. It's different from anything else out there. Gwen and Derek also ask Sonny about his current work with Paul Levitz on Doctor Fate as well as the possibility of future Shadow Heroor Malinky Robot stories.

Another Previews catalog showed up on their doorsteps, so it's time to gaze into the tomorrow of February 2016 and see what catches Mike and Greg's eyes. Alternative Comics (yet again, the publisher)! A Sammy Harkham double-shot of Kramers Ergot & Crickets! The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye! Kennel Block Blues! Jonesy! Wet Moon! Bakuman! School Judgment! From Now On! Shaft! As You Were! Powr Mastrs! All that, plus effective logo design and when words become images themselves, the nostalgia for living in shitty group houses with live bands playing all the time, how awesome “Titan” by François Vigneault turned out to be, and more! But wait, where's all the Marvel/DC talk? Well, friends, we got so into the spirit of talking comics that we had to split this episode in twain to fit it into the schedule. So look for the ensuing discussion about the front-half of the catalog next week! Robots From Tomorrow is a weekly comics podcast recorded deep beneath the Earth's surface. You can subscribe to it via iTunes or through the RSS feed at RobotsFromTomorrow.com. You can also follow Mike and Greg on Twitter. This episode is brought to you by Third Eye Comics.
