The sole creators who are making art they want to put out into the world all on their own.

Its a fun, fascinating chat about the creative process, and on top of that there's more great comic recommendations and lots of laughs! Great stuff to check out this week - Richard McCrae, Silverback, Tilly Walden, Spinning, Avery Hill, Bridlington Comic Con, Falling Awake, Blizzard, Ghost Machine, Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Afterlight Comics, Junkyard Joe, Every Last One, My Neighbor Necromancer, Dillon Gilbertson, Jason Piperberg, Consume Comics, Dlon Denty

Ever wondered why the never-endingTrump show seems simultaneously like a reality show remake and sequel? According to Chris Gavaler, the self styled Patron Saint of Superheroes, it's because our view of reality itself has been shaped by all those “sequels, remakes, retcons and rejects” endlessly spewing out of Hollywood. Our addiction to the Stars Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Marvel franchises has “revised" our reality,” Gavaler, the co-author of the new REVISING OUR REALITY, suggests. So how we can seize back reality from these entertainment titans? Here, Gavaler is less instructive. Perhaps the Patron Saint of Superheroes has, himself, been watching too many inane Star Wars or Lord of the Rings remakes. Chris Gavaler is Associate Professor of English at Washington and Lee University, USA. He is also the author of On the Origin of Superheroes: From the Big Bang to Action Comics No. 1 (2015) and Superhero Comics (2017) and Creating Comics (2021), both published by Bloomsbury. Since 2021, he has been series editor of Bloomsbury Comics Studies.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children. This is a public episode.

This week I get to sit back and chat with comic creator Lucy Sullivan Lucy's work i discovered during Hackney Zine fest and her book "Barking" and quickly fell for it. She has a powerful style and creates fantastic art work about subjects which really cut to the core of humanity. We caught up to talk not only her work in comic but animation and the challenges within creating something like a graphic novel. Whilst all touching on what she terms this idea of being "A difficult women". That brings its own challenges in an industry which has been dominated by men and is still struggling at times to find a balance of representation. We also get into the toxicity of online and the need to step back look at the world and think "Am I really having the argument I'd have in person?"She created amazing work so check her out below:https://lucysullivanuk.com/https://www.instagram.com/lucysullivanuk/https://twitter.com/lucysullivanukhttps://www.facebook.com/lucysullivanuk/Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteYou can support the show and Graham by visitingwww.instagram.com/yellingatconcretewww.yellingatconcrete.bigcartel.comwww.ko-fi.com/yellingatconcrete See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this episode of And I "Quote": Ryan talks with co-owner of Free Fall Comics L.A. Keim, a comic book writer based in Australia.Bio: Free Fall Comics is an Australian based independent comic company. Our sole purpose, listening to our audience, finding what the industry is lacking in & fill those gaps with ground breaking stories and characters! We strive to create new, original and compelling stories & characters with real depth. We don't shy from controversy or pushing the envelope, going where others have feared to go. In our first series "Roundhouse Hooligans", we have a very strong female protagonists. Neither of these stories had been created with a conscious decision to create a female lead, it simply came about as part of the creative process. The characters were born into the stories we created around them. We aren't just dissatisfied by the generic, cliché “superheroes” who currently flood the market, we are downright bored with it. Though this doesn't mean we write controversy for the sake of it. All our topics serve a purpose for pushing the story forward, to develop character and story. Don't worry, (it isn't all serious business) we still like to have a lot of fun with our characters and the situations we place them in. This is, after all, fiction, fantasy, escapism for ourselves and our readers...you guys. As always, In print & in color Lucas “LA” Keim & Brian “Brizeycon” Kerr.Follow L.A.

Experiencing Comics: An Introduction to Reading, Discussing, and Creating Comics shows students how to critically examine the craft and storytelling elements found inside a graphic novel or comic and spotlights groundbreaking work by comics creators and scholars from underrepresented and diverse backgrounds. This accessible, introductory guide to comics discusses how a comic is made and introduces students to the unique form and structure of comics, demonstrating how panels, splash pages, and word balloons are used to tell a story. It encourages students to apply literary theory and social politics to the world of comics to encourage discussions of comics within a larger cultural context. Rachelle Cruz introduces students to significant movements and moments in comics history in the United States. Users are provided with comic-making activities so they can practice the craft and storytelling elements discussed throughout the book. Students will gain first-hand insight from comics professionals and practitioners through interviews with creators, artists, writers, anthology editors, scholars, and comics enthusiasts. Cruz is in conversation with comic artsits Nilah Magruder and Yumi Sakugawa.

Andy Schmidt is a former comic book editor and now the founder of Comics Experience, an online school for comic book creators that provides the support & instruction necessary for aspiring professionals in the comic book industry.

Today our expert guest is Paul Jenkins, a veteran of 25 years in the graphic novel, film and video game industries. Over the last two decades Paul has been instrumental in the creation and implementation of literally hundreds of world-renowned, recognizable entertainment icons. From his employment with the creators of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to his preeminent status as an IP creator, Paul has provided entertainment to the world through hundreds of print publications, films, video games, and new media.   Raised by a single mother in the West Country of the United Kingdom, Paul grew up in two worlds: going to school with the children of rich families and living on a farm in poverty. He was “a gypsy kid hidden in an affluent society,” and this paradigm has influenced a lot of his work, from the novel Curioddity to the first issue of Wolverine: Origin.   And while Paul enjoys writing all of the characters he's been able to give life to, the one he identifies most with is your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man; a successful brand with a secret identity, but an identity that made him who he is.   When Paul was 22, he only had about 50 quid left to his name and he heard about an opportunity to come work in America for the summer – but he never did go back to the U.K. He started working with the creators of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and he helped negotiate many of their early licensing deals.   Paul worked in production for a few years before he had a chat with comics luminary Alan Moore, which inspired him to start writing. Starting with a five year stint in Hellblazer, Paul went on to write comics like Inhumans (for which he earned an Eisner Award), The Incredible Hulk, The Sentry, Wolverine, and of course Spider-Man.   Then Paul set his eyes on the video game industry. Video games were seen as “dumb entertainment for dumb children,” and even the video game industry seemed to think that at times – but Paul very much disagreed. If we treat video games as an artform, they will be.   Today, Paul does a little bit of everything. He still works on comics and games, but he also works across multiple media and new media, presenting stories in both new and familiar ways.   Sometimes people will look at Paul and say he's a guru, a storyteller, a writer... I could never be such a thing. And those people are wrong. “We are all storytellers. All of us are, and we all have the ability to do it. We think it's the kind of thing that we cannot do sometimes. How could I possibly be a storyteller? But the truth is that storytelling is ingrained. It's something that we do with our children. To a certain extent, telling a little white lie is storytelling... When you go to the end of your day and you fall asleep, you fall asleep to the story of the day.”   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway   “There's often a maxim that people talk about: that writers write. The concept being that if you're a writer, just go out and do it. Go get writing and that will make you a writer, and I cry foul on that. I don't believe it. I think writers finish things.   “If I could say anything to anyone, it would be that talent does not exist. It is simply potential. And if you add hard work to it, and a form of social maturity, that's when you have talent.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.
