Podcast appearances and mentions of dan schkade

Dan Schkade is a terrific artist/writer who is currently drawing the Flash Gordon daily strip for King Features. He's also written and drawn a lot of other cool stuff including The Spirit, Battlestar Galactica, Impossible Jones, and his creator-owned titles; Saint John and Lavender Jack. But what you need to know most it's pronounced "SHKah - dee." Like Scotty. Like the dog. Or the Chief Engineer.

The crew from Silver Sunday talk to comic creator Dan Schkade! Originally aired June 09, 2024. Included in this episode are Tom Mason, Thomas Florimonte, Roland Mann, Mike W. Belcher, and Roberta Conroy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/silverlinecomics/support

The cartoonist behind the Flash Gordon newspaper strip joins us for the show this week to talk about the differences between strips and comic books, what makes Flash so timeless, classic movie serials, and a whole lot more!

To follow up on our Flash Gordon episode, Precious D interviews Dan Schkade, the current writer and artist of the Flash Gordon comic strip. But first, Honey B finally tells us what she thought of Godzilla X Kong: The Final Empire. Read Flash Gordon here. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mmftg/message

Ninety years after his creation, Flash Gordon continues to soar in syndication. Helping us celebrate Alex Raymond's fearless champion this week is current Flash Gordon cartoonist Dan Schkade. Together, we explore why the confident space jock remains relevant and why the electric sexuality associated with the eighties cinematic adaptation is simply an extension of the raw heat present in Raymond's original strips. Since his birth, numerous stylists have had their way with Flash Gordon. He's been the subject of serials, movies, cartoons, and comic books. In his current strip, syndicated by King Features, Dan Schkade honors the eclectic creators who came before him, paying homage to their versions while filtering them through his unique perspective. This is your dad's Flash Gordon, but also yours and your brother's and your sister's. He belongs to every single one of us! What is the appeal of the square-jawed hero? In the wrong hands, such conviction could read as dull or false. Excitement ignites through the scenarios in which Dan Schkade erects around his can't-miss crusader. Each plot is a puzzle, not for the reader to crack, but for the character and the joy occurs in witnessing Flash Gordon solve it. Follow Dan Schkade on Twitter, Instagram, and his Website.

This week on Creannotators, I’m joined by creator Dan Schkade to talk about the return of Lavendar Jack, one of our favorite comics on Webtoon! We talk ending the series after 4+ years, working with Webtoon, noir influences, and what comes next! On Comic Book Herald's ‘Creannotators' I'll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in […] The post Creannotators #93: “Lavendar Jack” interview with creator Dan Schkade! appeared first on Comic Book Herald.

DAN SCHKADE talks about pursuing his passion to draw comics by moving to the creator-rich city of Portland from Austin, and how hard he tried out for his dream project to illustrate WILL EISNER'S, THE SPIRIT RETURNS. Now a resident of Indianapolis, clearly the next cool city, Dan continues to  write and draw LAVENDER JACK along with many other projects.@DanSchkadedanschkade.com

The creator of the Eisner nominated WEBTOON series Lavender Jack, Dan Schkade, returns to the show to talk about the final season of the series. Jace and Dan discuss the evolution of the characters & his creative work over the life of the series as well as reader reaction. Plus there is tons of talk about theme and relevance for this action packed series.

In this episode, we review and discuss two different indie comics that creators have sent us: Parallel, by Jason Douglas and Ferris, and Invasion from Planet Wrestletopia, by Ed Kuehnel, Matt Entin, Dan Schkade, and Kendall Goode. We love checking out comics from indie creators, and this was a long-overdue episode. Reading these comics expanded our horizons, and hopefully you'll be inspired to check out something new!

Jace chats with creator Dan Schkade about his Ringo and Eisner nominated digital comic Lavender Jack

Episode 53Greetings, Explorers! Dennis, Johnny, and Frankie are going head-to-head in this steel cage, winner-take-all match of Graphic Novel Explorers Club! The gang takes a look at Invasion from Planet Wrestletopia – A Date with Destiny in this episode. OH YEAH, BROTHER! Starburns Industries Press is the publisher, with the story by Matt Entin and Ed Kuehnel, and art by Dan Schkade. Invasion from Planet Wrestletopia concerns one “Rock ‘N' Roll” Rory Landell, a pro-wrestler in the AWF (this world's version of the WWF) with a major chip on his shoulder. Little does “Rock ‘N' Roll” Rory know that when he declares himself the Galactic Champion of the Universe that the citizens of Wrestletopia are listening to him. They don't take the challenge lightly either.Our Explorers discuss why you don't challenge the entire universe to a wrestling match; the trauma of discovering professional wrestling is fake; contemplating the influence of WWF (not the WWE) and G.L.O.W. on the creators of Invasion from Planet Wrestletopia; a childhood full of Figure 4 Leg Locks and Camel Clutches; the misrepresentation of Ewoks by Lucasfilm in Return of the Jedi; having enough belief in yourself to have a shirt made that identifies yourself as your own number one fan; how exactly does one deal with a coworker they dislike when you are a professional wrestler; the wonderful character names in the comic book; and last but not least, the storytelling and art of Invasion from Planet Wrestletopia.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/graphicnovelexplorersclub/message See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Time Codes: 00:01:22 - Introduction 00:04:08 - Oops, we're late 00:06:08 - Grass of Parnassus 00:36:42 - Lavender Jack 01:04:20 - Take the A Train 01:27:54 - Wrap up 01:29:01 - Contact us On the November webcomics episode -- albeit a little late -- Sean and Derek look at three very different webcomics...especially different when it comes their hosting platforms. They begin with Stuart and Kathryn Immonen's Grass of Parnassus. This is a unique science fiction narrative that is relatively new, starting in September this year, with an intriguing storyline (what there is so far) and incredible art. But what is additionally notable about this webcomic is that it's being hosted on Instagram. This is the first time the guys have discussed an Instagram-based webcomic, and Sean and Derek spend a bit of time discussing the pros and cons of this platform. After that they focus on Lavender Jack, a webcomic hosted on Webtoon and written and illustrated by Dan Schkade. It's an engaging crime/intrigue webcomic that reminds the guys of both The Scarlet Pimpernel and Batman. A unique combination! It's the story of a wealthy socialite who dons a costume to cover his identity, and then goes about exposing the hidden crimes of prominent, powerful, and corrupt citizens in the city. This is also a relatively new webcomic, starting in June, and although there are already 24 episodes (as of this recording), there are still a number of mysteries that are yet to be answered. Finally, the Two Guys wrap up with an already completed webcomic, M. Deanand Z. Akhmetova's Take the A Train. This is a relatively short narrative, but what makes it stand out -- in addition to the incredible art -- is that each half of the story is hosted on Dean's and Akhmetova's sites, respectively. This is the first time the guys have discussed a webcomic that was a collaborative endeavor in this manner. The webcomic is based on Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn's classic song, and both creators focus on young protagonists in the middle of the 20th century who are fascinated with Ellington and his historic relationship with The Savoy in Harlem.

Capturing the Spirit of The Spirit Every year for Will Eisner Week, always the first seven days in March, the Two Guys with PhDs like to do something special and Eisner-related for the podcast. This year is no different, and for the current episode Andy and Derek have decided to discuss the many uses of The Spirit since Will Eisner's passing on January 3, 2005. And there are a lot more manifestations of The Spirit than you might think. The guys compare and contrast the various uses of this seminal crimefighter, highlighting those examples that attempt to capture the original tone of The Spirit, that deviate from the original in curious ways, and that cross over into other narrative worlds. The many titles and creators they discuss include: the one-shot Batman/The Spirit, by Joef Loeb and Darwyn Cooke in 2007 (DC Comics) the 32-issue run of The Spirit between 2007 and 2009, by Darwyn Cooke, Sergio Aragones, Mark Evanier, and many others (DC Comics) Brian Azzarello and Rags Morales's 6-issue miniseries First Wave, published between 2010 and 2011 (DC Comics) the concurrent-running The Spirit: First Wave series by Mark Schultz, David Hine, and others, going for 17 issues from 2010-2011 (DC Comics) Mark Waid's 4-issue miniseries Rocketeer/Spirit: Pulp Friction, illustrated by various artists and released in 2013 (IDW Publishing) Will Eisner's The Spirit by Matt Wagner and Dan Schkade, running for 12 issues between 2015 and 2016 (Dynamite Entertainment) the recent first issue of Francesco Francavilla's Will Eisner's The Spirit: The Corpse-Makers (Dynamite Entertainment) and Joe Staton and Mike Curtis's current Dick Tracy strip and its team-up with The Spirit (Tribune Company). There is a lot packed into this episode -- you'll hear plenty about Ebony White, Commissioner and Ellen Dolan, Silk Satin, Mister Carrion, Sand Serif, The Octopus, and, of course, P'Gell -- but, thankfully, almost no mention of the disastrous 2008 film. It's all about the comics. Check out the various The Spirit titles discussed in this special episode:

Today we have the second of two episodes with Greg's interviews from the recent Baltimore Comic-Con. Lots of comics talk with creators representing both coasts in this one, but there's no East Coast/West Coast beefing here; just good comic booking. Things kick off with cartoonist Jeff Parker. We talk a little Flash Gordon, some editorial hijinx on his recent Shazam mini, why everyone thought Doc Shaner owed him an apology, how Sandy Jarrell draws such believable teenagers, and just what Parker's role at Periscope Studios really is. Apparently a lot of TV watching and goofing off is involved. Next comes the Portland-based artistic team of Dan Schkade and Brennan Wagner. Dan's name popped up in my last talk with Brennan, but now we get to hear from them both in stereo. We cover Dan's recent work on The Spirit, some of his influences and philosophies, and which 90's X-Man would be their choice for a career & character-defining run. Finally we jet on over to Brooklyn (aka the other side of the convention floor) and check in with Christa Cassano, Gregory Benton, Dean Haspiel, and Chris Miskiewicz of Hang Dai Studios. We talk new books, old work, Danish hospitality, the benefits of mixing influences, Seth Kushner, watercolors versus gouache, and more.

This week on the podcast, the Two Guys with PhDs take a close look at a few #1 issues and one minicomic series. However, before they get into the nitty gritty of their reviews, they share some of the listener mail and attention they've been receiving -- including a very cool call-out from the Kyle and Drew at Comics for Fun and Profit -- and then go into some news out of SDCC. In particular, they discuss this year's Eisner Award winners, most of which the guys are familiar with and/or had expected (or hoped) to win. However, there were some surprises as well as some disappointments in this year's Eisners, but such is the game of awards systems such as this. After highlighting a little more news out of San Diego -- e.g., the announcement of new Vertigo titles, the return of Lady Killer, Fantagraphics to publish the next Kramers Ergot -- Andy and Derek plunge into the titles that they're discussing this week. First, they look at Brian K. Vaughan and Steve Skroce's We Stand on Guard #1 (Image Comics). This is one of the most anticipated new series of the year, and the guys waste no time in underscoring not only BKV's storytelling abilities, but Skroce's meticulous art. Next, they look at the latest attempt to bring The Spirit back to reading audiences. With Will Eisner's The Spirit #1 (Dynamite Entertainment), Matt Wagner and Dan Schkade capture not only the spirit -- bad pun intended -- of the original, but also introduce Eisner's crime-fighting world in such a way that brand new readers can easily get on board, even without much knowledge of the original. The same can be said of Mark Waid and Fiona Staples's Archie #1 (Archie Comics). The creators' take on the comics icon appears both fresh and reverential, making this new series accessible, yet in a familiar way. Still, the guys wonder who exactly the audience might be -- or might end up being -- for these new spins on Archie Andrews and Denny Colt. Finally, Derek and Andy turn to a minicomic series from Tim Comrie, Leisure. This is an autobiographical, very personal, series with three issues so far. Comrie lays bare both his pleasures and his turmoils, and in a genuine manner that never comes across as calculated or discomforting. The guys also bring in a discussion of Comrie's other series (along with Mike Heneghan), Five Hour Comics, and compare its style and tone to Leisure. If you're not familiar with Tim Comrie's work, then now is the time to check it out!
