A year ago, Scott Morse found himself adrift, severed from a stable income and a defined creative path. Panic was an option. So was fear. Instead, he chose collaboration and creation. This Ink Runs Cold: Short Stories from the Space-Crime Continuum smashes two of his favorite genres between its pages. It's an anthology of one-page pulp stories written by 89 different writers, all drawn by Scott Morse and colored by José Villarrubia. Many of these writers are seasoned comic veterans, animators, and filmmakers. The table of contents includes Mike Allred, Brian Michael Bendis, Jorge Gutierrez, Derek Kirk Kim, Dave McKean, Fábio Moon, Scott Mosier, Eric Powell, Stan Sakai, and on and on and on. Even better, for our purposes anyway, This Ink Runs Cold includes numerous comic book newcomers, including us - Brad and Lisa Gullickson! As of this writing, This Ink Runs Cold has one week left on Kickstarter. Scott Morse and Allen Spiegel Fine Arts offer two editions: the Full-Color version featuring José Villarrubia's wizardry and the limited Black and White Noir version, showcasing Scott Morse's beautiful brushwork. Having knocked out some stretch goals, those backing the Bookplate and Noir/1-2 Punch tiers will get an extra book, The Brush-Offs. This is a 24-page bonus book featuring unused art, abandoned pages, scripts, an alternate prologue/epilogue, and an analysis of this unique writer/artist collaboration. We're beyond honored to contribute one page to This Ink Runs Cold; we're practically in disbelief. Today's podcast is the first time we have featured a story we helped create, and it's an incredibly emotional experience. We're grateful to Scott Morse for coming on the show, explaining how This Ink Runs Cold grew from a mini-devastation, and why this intense injection of collaboration reinvigorated him. We also had the opportunity to explain what our short story "The ADHD P.I." means to us and how it helped us process some anxiety and self-loathing. Working with one page was ridiculously challenging, and what's most exciting is seeing how 88 other writers tackled that challenge and used that finite space in infinite ways. We also start this week's episode with our recent trip to WonderCon and an LAX nightmare we will never forget. If you're here only for the Scott Morse chatter, we won't begrudge you for skipping ahead, but you'll miss out on another outlandish story. This Week's Sponsors: You wake in a hospital bed. Your hand feels heavy, there's a ringing pain in your head. Machine parts have replaced what could not be repaired with flesh. Did the doctors save you, or strip you of your humanity? This is the question facing Adam in Futility Shapes, a one-shot comic live on Kickstarter now! Created by Edward Kane and Dave Fowler. Futility Shapes is a weird blend of The Terminator, The Machinist, and Mass Effect. What shapes you? Visit EdwardKane.net (spell out the name for ease) We're also sponsored by the sponsored by 2000 AD, the greatest comic you're not reading! Within its pages is a whole universe of characters, from Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog to Rogue Trooper, Shakara, Halo Jones, and the poor sods slogging across the Cursed Earth in The Helltrekkers.

La verdad es que tiene su cosa que en casi 12 años de podcast no hubiéramos hecho aún un versus de estos dos cómics. Hablamos de dos obras prácticamente contemporáneas, autoconclusivas y centradas en las figuras de Batman y el Joker y, sin embargo, no pueden ser más distintas. Para repasar con este juego del versus las diferencias, semejanzas, highlights, curiosidades y tontadas nuestras, ponemos hay frente a frente Batman: Asilo Arkham, de Grant Morrison y Dave McKean, y Batman: La broma asesina, de Alan Moore y Brian Bolland. Y todo a un play de distancia. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad. El aparato de aire acondicionado es un pedazo de chatarra que no podría enfriar ni una bebida aunque la metieras dentro. Parece el sitio perfecto para escuchar el podcast 352 de ELHDLT Selección musical: 🎶 Asylum, de Disturbed 🎶 Bow Down To The Clowns, Onslaught

Esta semana reunimos a los agentes más experimentados en el Morrisonismo para comentar uno de los primeros trabajos de Morrison con Kid Eternity. Una obra nacida a principios de los años 90 que rescataba un antiguo y olvidado personaje y en donde el guionista recurre a sus clásicos tropos de metafísica experimental para reflexionar sobre la vida, la muerte y más importante aún sobre la eternidad. Un comic que a su vez viene acompañado por uno de los artistas más camaleónicos, como lo es Duncan Fegredo, que nos propone un ejercicio visual situado en la escuela de grandes nombres como Dave McKean o Bill Sienkiewicz.

CAPÍTULO #376… Volvemos a los micros más fuertes que nunca para arrancar la nueva temporada y como suele ser tradición empezamos con una buena morrisonada como lo es Kid Eternity. Analizaremos este trabajazo de la extinta Vertigo con Morrison y Fegredo rescatando a un personaje clásico de Quality Comics, donde veremos los habituales conceptos rompedores del escocés. Por otro lado, nos pondremos al día comentado las noticias más destacadas que hemos tenido durante el veranito, con avances de películas y series, el nuevo y prometedor relanzamiento de DC, junto a tanda de galardones del noveno arte. Y no nos iremos sin repasaros también algunas de las últimas novedades más destacadas como lo son el Doctor Extraño de Cates, Caballeros Oscuros de Acero, lo nuevo de Bablet con The Midnight Order, doble ración del Universo de Hellboy y muchísimo más.

Producer Tom Negovan discusses his restoration of the infamous 1980 film, starring Malcom McDowell Pand ter O'Toole and Helen Mirren. We also talk about comic artists Dave McKean and Bill Siencewicz's involvement in the project, plus Tom's forays as a comic book publisher through his company Century Guild 

Never before have comics seemed so popular or diversified, proliferating across a broad spectrum of genres, experimenting with a variety of techniques, and gaining recognition as a legitimate, rich form of art. Openness of Comics: Generating Meaning within Flexible Structures (UP of Mississippi, 2016) examines this trend by taking up philosopher Umberto Eco's notion of the open work of art, whereby the reader--or listener or viewer, as the case may be--is offered several possibilities of interpretation in a cohesive narrative and aesthetic structure. Ahmed delineates the visual, literary, and other medium-specific features used by comics to form open rather than closed works, methods by which comics generate or limit meaning as well as increase and structure the scope of reading into a work. Ahmed analyzes a diverse group of British, American, and European (Franco-Belgian, German, Finnish) comics.  She treats examples from the key genre categories of fictionalized memoirs and biographies, adventure and superhero, noir, black comedy and crime, science fiction and fantasy. Her analyses demonstrate the ways in which comics generate openness by concentrating on the gaps essential to the very medium of comics, the range of meaning ensconced within words and images as well as their interaction with each other. The analyzed comics, extending from famous to lesser known works, include Will Eisner's The Contract with God Trilogy, Jacques Tardi's It Was the War of the Trenches, Hugo Pratt's The Ballad of the Salty Sea, Edmond Baudoin's The Voyage, Grant Morrison and Dave McKean's Arkham Asylum, Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's From Hell, Moebius's Arzach, Yslaire's Cloud 99 series, and Jarmo Mäkilä's Taxi Ride to Van Gogh's Ear. Dr. Maaheen Ahmed is associate professor of comparative literature at Ghent University, Belgium. Dr. Ahmed is the primary investigator of the COMICS Project, which is focused on the intercultural history of children and comics. Dr. Ahmed is author of Monstrous Imaginaries: The Legacy of Romanticism in Comics and Openness of Comics: Generating Meaning within Flexible Structures, both published by University Press of Mississippi.

Présent en France au début de l'année au FIBD et repassé nous voir au début du mois de mars, le dessinateur serbe Stevan Subic nous a proprement émerveillé avec ses planches réalisées pour The Riddler : Année Un, écrit par Paul Dano. Un titre Black Label, sorti en VF chez Urban Comics, qui s'inscrit dans la continuité du film The Batman de Matt Reeves et qui, au-delà d'approfondir le personnage incarné par Dano à l'écran, est une formidable démonstration graphique d'un artiste qui rappelle Sienkiewicz ou Dave McKean tout en ayant sa propre patte artistique.Aussi sommes-nous ravis de vous proposer cette interview enregistrée au FIBD, que vous pouvez également retrouver au format écrit et en français (pour les non anglophones) sur Comicsblog.fr à ce lien.

Join renowned artist, Dave McKean, and Italian pianist, Stefano Bollani for an enlightening conversation on Podsongs covering their shared interests in art, jazz, and literature. The two creatives explore the intricacies of music creation and appreciation. Insights include their artistic journeys, perspectives on music education, experiences with film scores, the impact of regional dialects on music, and their love for various music styles such as jazz and Brazil's Bossa Nova. Personal stories of inspirations, challenges, and the magic of matching music to films make it a must-watch for arts and music enthusiasts. A perfect blend of shared passion, engaging creativity, and intellectual conversation on the convergence of art and music, which results in the creation of a new song by Dave McKean called 'Coincidentals'. Stream the song: https://ffm.to/coincidentals LYRICS to 'Coincidentals' by Dave McKean: His assistants busy themselves Fetching scissors and coloured papers Mixing hues of different flavours Painting blues and greens and purples Cutting stars and squares and circles Beginning the journey Through a thicket of collage and texture and bread and circuses From his bed he considers the surfaces He remembers his voyages And he watches Henri watches Henri's body is bed bound But his mind isn't even earthbound He cuts into the form of a figure He places it next to another Improvisation, No turning back, no hesitation Letting go to muscle sense and iteration Creativity in the present tense No more sitting on the fence Commit to the composition And he watches… Enrico watches… The kids coming up through the quavers and crotchets Little birds with their scales and rhythms and pitches Finding their voices and hoping to sing He'll pass on the history, of princes and kings Of Bix and Miles and the truth and the sophistry Of Chet and Louis and the proof and the mystery And he takes an occasional player under his wing And flies through fundamentals Improvisations and incidentals And he watches… Stefano watches… The silence of the film and the stillness of the man Deadpan Buster Keaton The girl leaves His heart heaves His blank expression Falls to his knees and then the horizon He sits. He thinks. Pushing his hat Back on his head. Lost in this moment of loss, the signs he misread, He fails to notice The coupling rod on the train that is rising and falling and that is where his seat is He bobs up and down as his dignity decreases His stone face flashes a moment of indignation beneath his… Hat. To acquire learning you need to read But to gain wisdom you must watch Stefano watches Through the bars of his cage A cage of bar lines and staves Something to break out of To fight with To play with To push and pull and tear and tickle and sway with All those accidentals Co-accidentals Incidental music for life Incidental music for life https://www.davemckean.com https://www.stefanobollani.com // SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Newsletter, donations and download the song for €/$1 @ https://podsongs.com // LINKS // Website: https://podsongs.com Podcast episodes: https://podsongs.com/podcast-episodes Songs: https://podsongs.com/music Spotify artist: https://open.spotify.com/artist/32FYyRx1y1ex3jHHAgLMC7?si=4Nv7WW85SbSPZvCsj1o7Ig Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6sN1viy82HPiNTVX2YBxpq?si=1b84c2b9bdea4656 // SOCIAL // Twitter: https://twitter.com/podsongs Instagram: https://instagram.com/podsongs Facebook: https://facebook.com/podsongs --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podsongs/message

"I'm a very important man. I have a tower."

Join us as we enter this bizarre CGI world and try to make sense of a rather...interesting plot. The Space to Carol spectrum debate heats up with this one as both the Puppet Masters have very different takes on this unusual cult film.

Before Neil Gaiman got famous for The Sandman comics, he worked with Dave McKean to resurrect a DC Comics character that had been forgotten. Was this first endeavor successful? Let's check it out! #308 S7E27 Black Orchid #1 (1988)

A particular story has rattled around Christian Ward's imagination for years. It's been there since childhood, really. Since he first encountered Grant Morrison and Dave McKean's Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth. Last year, he sent out a Tweet, taunting the universe to grant his wish - to tell his cosmic Batman saga. Now, we're weeks away from the cosmos' answer. Batman: City of Madness #1 lands on shelves from DC Comics on October 10th. It's a real humdinger, a comic that feels unlike any other Bat-book that has come before but is absolutely in conversation with the stone-cold classic mentioned above. Christian Ward explores the questions that probably nag every artist who tackles the Bat, but he does so in ways that spark new ideas and new queries. After catching a sneak preview of the first issue, we were eager to get the writer/artist in our Love Nest Zoom room. We discuss his relationship with Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth and how it evolved into Batman: City of Madness. We consider Bruce Wayne's relation to his rogues and what does and does not separate him from so-called villains like Joker and Two-Face. As we do every time the caped crusader comes up on the podcast, we challenge his role as Gotham's vigilante while also addressing how much fun it is to watch him punch punks in the face. However, before we dig into City of Madness and the terrifying Batman Below that lurks underneath our favorite wretched city, we reflect on our Baltimore Comic-Con/Small Press Expo double-header weekend, including the world premiere of Married to Comics. We review these events and consider what makes each con so unique and why we could never give up one for the other. This podcast continues our year-long partnership with Omnibus, the Digital Comic Store and Reader. Each episode from now on will feature our new "Referrals" segment, sponsored by them, where we recommend other comics titles for those wishing to explore this week's themes and concepts further. CLICK HERE to learn more and explore Omnibus' unique, browsable space. Also, make sure that you keep abreast on all things Christian Ward by visiting his Website and following him on Twitter and Instagram. In a few weeks, Christian Ward will appear in our Patreon feed, conducting a page-by-page breakdown of Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth. Join now for just one dollar, and listen to the previous entry in our comic creator series where artists celebrate their favorite single issues - Daniel Warren Johnson on The 'Nam #9.  If you missed our previous conversation with Christian Ward, talking about Blood Stained Teeth, you can find it HERE.

Where Grant Morrison and Dave McKean meet H.P Lovecraft and Cthulhu, Christian Ward begins Batman : City of Madness.

We also get into Christian's upcoming work on Spectregraph with James Tynion for DSTLRY, his own origin story in comics, Batman 89, his past as a teacher and the gamble he took to become a successful comic creator, and lots more.

In Episode 139 of Podsongs—the podcast where musicians interview inspirational people as inspiration for a new song—Thomas Feiner interviews Dave McKean, an award-winning English illustrator and graphic designer, about the effect midjourney is having on their industry. Thomas uses the interview as inspiration for a new song called 'The New Convention', which will be released as a single on 8th September.

For two years, we've discussed The Sandman on our Patreon, one episode at a time, one issue at a time. Periodically, we've dropped certain conversations into the main Comic Book Couples Counseling podcast feed, but it's been a while. Since we're nearly reaching the end of Neil Gaiman's original 75-issue run, we felt compelled to pull a Patreon conversation to all our wonderful listeners' attention. Our "Sleepwalking Through Sandman" Patreon series is an extremely vulnerable experience for us. Lisa read these comics in college, but her memory is foggy and mutated by time. For whatever reason, Brad never read The Sandman when it was initially on comic shop stands. Now, every week, we stumble through this iconic comic book series, desperately trying to absorb what Gaiman and his astonishing collaborators put down on the page. Frequently, we interpret things way off base, but thankfully, our Patrons guide us along and clue us into what we're missing. The result is episodes unlike any other shows Comic Book Couples Counseling produces. We're pretty darn proud of them. The Sandman #70 is the beginning of the end. Is it an epilogue, or is it the climax? Panel by panel, we debate the possibilities as we approach the original Sandman's final issues. A small select group gathers within the Dreaming to pay their last respects to Morpheus while a new (?) Dream works on rebuilding what was lost during the battle with the Furies. For as little as $1 a month (or $12 a year), you can access all our Sandman episodes and hundreds of other bonus podcasts. After finishing our Sandman #70 conversation, you can jump right on into our Sandman #71 conversation, already posted in our Patreon feed HERE. In this episode, we also announce a new Patreon podcast series. It's a show concept we don't see anywhere else online, and we think our listeners will be excited about it. Stay tuned for more information, and join up before San Diego Comic-Con if you want access to that particular comic book party. Sandman #71 was published by DC Comics with a cover date of August 1995. It's written by Neil Gaiman, illustrated by Michael Zulli, colored by Daniel Vozzo, seps by Digital Chameleon, lettered by Todd Klein, edited by Karen Berger, associated by Shelly Roeberg, and features a cover by Dave McKean. Sandman created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg.

Our fiftieth (full-length) installment! Thanks to all who have been listening, especially those with us from the start, and we hope the next fifty are enjoyable. It seemed right to close out that milestone, and the first half of Season 2, with something a bit more relaxed. So here we are with another inspirations episode, this time on thirteen films that we think are particularly suited for Changeling: the Dreaming. (It would've been ten like the other inspirations episodes, but there was no way we could have kept it to that few.) This is a mix of movies officially recommended in the books and some of our own picks, a balance between overtly fae-themed films and others that more generally reflect the themes of the game. In order of discussion, here are the trailers. Some of them are excessively Hollywood, for which you have our apologies: Amélie (dir.

A lot of things in the art world have changed since the last time Marshall and I talked, perhaps nothing more so than AI art. More and more artists are wondering what this emerging technology means for them. That's why, in this episode, Marshall and I will catch up and discuss the current landscape of AI art, its ethics, and potential uses. Btw, the same day that we recorded this episode, Steven Zapata released a video about his thoughts that has been passed around widely. His video instantly made our episode outdated!

What is art? Who (or what) is an artist? What is creativity, and can it be captured in a machine? Dave McKean's amazing new book, PROMPT: Conversations With Artificial Intelligence (Hourglass/ASFA), tries to tackle these questions, so Dave rejoins the show for a conversation about the challenges that Midjourney and other AI image-engines pose to the definitions of art and creativity, the nature of artistic intent, what it means for a machine to capture the look of drawing without an understanding of drawing, and what this all might mean for commercial art and illustration. We also talk about the nature of AI, how his Midjourney experience moved from Stalker to Solaris, why he introduced Gilgamesh, the world's oldest known story into the AI prompt, and whether the use of computers in art is a slippery slope to "hand-free" art. We also get into his lockdown life, his other new book, RAPTOR (Dark Horse), the importance of edgelands and the lost language of different places, and a lot more.

With the recent Sandman trailer drop, the world seems re-energized regarding all things Dream King. We are here for it. In fact, we've been reading Neil Gaiman's epic series one issue at a time/one week at a time for more than a year now and recording our thoughts through our Patreon feed. Our Sleepwalking Through Sandman episodes are some of our favorite conversations that we've had in the Love Nest, made all the better by our Patrons providing context and history every week. When we initially launched the show, we plopped the first episode into our main feed, and we thought it was time to give our regular audience another preview. This Sandman #17 episode was initially recorded several months ago, but we think it's one of our best Sandman conversations. We hope you agree with us. As first-time Sandman readers, we're deeply fascinated with Morpheus' romantic relationships. You'll hear how we're struggling to comprehend his behavior toward Nada, and how this deep dive into his relationship with Calliope re-contextualizes the Dream King's actions. We hope you enjoy this chat. Longtime CBCC listeners may have some inkling of what we sound like when we're in full-sweatpants mode, but newcomers could be a little shocked. We can get real dang silly, friends. Enjoy! And please let us know what you think of this podcast series. Sandman #17 was published by DC Comics with a cover date of July 1990. It's written by Neil Gaiman, illustrated by Kelley Jones & Malcolm Jones III, lettered by Todd Klein, colored by Robbie Busch(Original) and  Daniel Vozzo (Re-Color), assistant edited by Tom Peyer, edited by Karen Berger, and features a cover by Dave McKean. Created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg.

On this episode of X-Ray Vision, Jason Concepcion and Rosie Knight fight the Covenant! In the Airlock (3:45), Jason and Rosie dive deep (deeeep) into the world of video game adaptations, including recapping and discussing the new Halo series on Paramount+, and the games they've been playing (well all know Jason's only playing one game right now). In the Hive Mind (52:55), X-Ray Vision is thrilled to welcome comics writing legend Grant Morrison to the show to explore their time on Batman, X-Men, their origin story with comics, as well as their thoughts on writing comics vs. TV and the creative process. In Nerd Out (1:47:30) a listener pitches us on Final Fantasy 4 Free Enterprise and in the Endgame (1:49:53), Jason and Rosie pick their top three video game adaptations.

Halo: The Fall of Reach - Written by Eric Nylund, published 2001, and serves as a prelude to the first Halo game. Available here. Batman: Arkham Asylum (aka A Serious House on Serious Earth) - Written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Dave McKean. Grant wants a critical reappraisal of their iconic comic, what do you think? Jan Švankmajer - Grant cited this pioneering Czech filmmaker and avant garde artist, especially his work with stop-motion and puppetry, as one of the principal inspirations for Arkham Asylum. Among Svankmajer's best known works are Conspirators of Pleasure and Alice. Animal Man - The Grant Morrison run began in 1988 with penciller Chas Truog and covers by Brian Bolland and ran until issue #26. This is the series where Morrison first popularly explored concepts that have defined their work since: questioning the nature of reality, writing so-called ‘metafiction,' and more. Hyperobjects - As defined by Timothy Morton: “Hyperobjects are objects which have a vitality to them but you can't touch them, like race or class, or climate change. Their effects may be experienced even if they cannot be necessarily touched.” Steve de Souza's interview in the Guardian about filming Street Fighter with a “coked out of his mind” Jean-Claude Van Damme.
