[originally published on Patreon Oct 26, 2021] Today I return to looking at novels as spycraft, particularly Lewis Carroll, JM Barrie, and HG Wells. I go through Carroll's connections to Oxford, his hobbies and predilections, his relationship with the Liddell family, and the enduring fixation Carroll's work has for pedophiles to this day. Then, I look at JM Barrie, his ties to the literary scene and the throne, his relationship with the Llewelyn Davies family, and the fate of those children.  To wrap it up, I discuss several of HG Wells more interesting works, including the World Set Free, the Open Conspiracy, and the New World Order.  You might have known some of what I talk about today, but I'm certain there are some salient details that biographers seem to like to leave out.  songs: Wonderland by T*ylor Sw*ft Enter Sandman by Met*llica New World Order by Meg*deth the Eve of the War from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds

Not only is he an accomplished Letterer, but Rob Jones is also a writer and Rob stayed up way too late to chat with me about the current Kickstarter campaign for Thunder Child #2 which is on KS until October 3rd. Rob introduces me to the Jeff Wayne musical version of War of the Worlds and after listening, as someone that's a fan of musicals and the combined talents of Meatloaf and Jim Steinman, I was shocked I hadn't heard of this before. Rob and I have a fantastic conversation about how he got into comics and why he wanted to write (with Matthew Hardy) a comic about the HMS Thunder Child, wonderfully illustrated by Kevin Castaniero, colored by Simon Gough, and edited by Fred McNamara.  Learn more about your ad choices.

No one would have believed that in the last years of the 1970s, a concept album based on the H.G. Wells novel would have such a profound and lasting impact on those who heard it. Few men even considered the possibility that it would it re-emerge in the 21st century as a live theatrical experience, featuring Russell Watson and Marti fucking Pellow. And yet, across the gulf of 4 decades, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this record as a peerless masterpiece, whilst Gary Barlow slowly and surely drew his plans against us. 

Allister Thompson, musician and author of The Music of the Spheres, is back in Derry & Toms to talk about the scientific romance and hardcore disco prog phenomenon that is... The War of the Worlds.

I thought I'd repopulate this interview I did with Jeff Wayne for the old Spoook podcast that I used to do way back when. Conducted during the misery of lockdown, the audio isn't great – I really didn't know what I was doing when it came to making podcasts back then – and yet it really is one of the most enjoyable conversations I've had with a musician ever. I've been a fan of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds as long as I remember. I've bought the record again and again and again, and the remixes, and the concert tickets, and the merchandise, and it's a love that was put in place by my dad giving me the record - on double cassette no less! - when I was really, really young. I don't know whether it's because my dad passed away recently, it's probably because my dad passed away recently, but I've been thinking about the record loads as of late. We went to see the record performed live together in London in the mid-noughties and it's a very happy memory. It reminded me how much Jeff talked about his dad, Jerry, in this interview, and how making this record that's endured all my life was very much a labour of love for both of them, something that they shared together. I'm not trying to make any great point here. Just something about dads I think. And Martains. And I just thought, if you missed out on this interview the first time round, you might enjoy having the opportunity to listen to it. Hey, have you joined the Spoook Substack yet?

This week Keri, Peter and Matthew popped into the salon for a quick cut and gossip about Jeff Wayne's War of The Worlds, Mississippi Burning, Joe Pasquale's pillow talk, unsolicited dick pics and the dodgy meat market.

Adaptations of one thing into another is an interesting process. What's lost, what's gained, what modifications do you have to do to make it happen? As webcomicers we do it all the time in many ways, we have to adapt our influences into ideas, adapt those to stories, and adapt those to images and comics, which isn't trivial! It's often quite difficult to transform the written word into narrative sequential art- what portion of the writing gets directly turned into images, what's cut, and what becomes dialogue? For me about 20% is cut, 78% becomes art and 2% becomes dialogue or captions. We chat about film and story adaptations as well of course, War of the Worlds (HG Wells) in particular, since it's become several different movies, artwork, video games, a radio play, and a really excellent prog-rock concept album among other things. All those adaptations take different approaches, Orson Wells' radio play version updated it from the late 19th century Britain to his present day and location and framed it as a developing news story, making clever use of the medium it was playing on. Most cinematic versions have followed Orson's style, but the concept album by Jeff Wayne stuck with the original historical setting which made the story much more interesting, tragic and compelling. Another more current and different take on adaptations is the “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers” movie. This is a live action and CG animated hybrid film version of the 1990s Disney adventure cartoon series which featured a crime fighting rodent team. The usual approach to those adaptations is to simply update the origin story, stating from 0 and set it in the present day using current animation technology to make the characters look as real as possible, the original media is treated as lore and inspiration but is not cannon to toe movie. This movie however took the opposite approach: the original cartoon is treated as a real TV show that the characters (who are shown as actors), stared in, and this movie shows their lives 30 years later. The animation is a mixture of 3d CGI and pseudo 2D cell animation, plus pseudo stop motion claymation and the film is largely used to parody and spoof animated adaptations in general, so it's perfect for this topic! So what are you fave adaptations? Where dp they go wrong or right? And how do you go about the process with your own work? This week Gunwallace has given us a theme to Amie Armageddon. Hard to describe this one, it sounds like a great pop-song you'd hear on the radio or as the theme song to a big budget movie. Echoing tonal vocals, evocative, layered, sounds… It sets a scene and then expands upon it. Just a really lovely piece of electronica.

"And slowly, but surely, they drew their plans against us..." For this episode, Tom teaches Morgan all about a true one-off: the sci-fi prog rock concept musical album adaptation of HG Wells' War of the Worlds, by Jeff Wayne. Morgan gets flabbergasted at the album's enduring popularity, as he hears songs like 'Eve of the War' and 'Forever Autumn' for the first time, much to Tom's dismay. We discuss: The gravitas of Richard Burton and the surprisingly decent David Essex The gall and the gumption of Jeff Wayne sticking his name on the album and spending A LOT of money - but it worked! How Tom grew up with an actual typewriter Morgan's most hated words: 'rock opera' Justin Hayward's sci-fi pedigree How Tom had a mandatory dance class at school. Just him?

H.G. Wells is so well known that you don't have to bother reading his books, you already know them, except you don't. I rather ashamedly had never actually read an H.G. Wells novel until a week ago. That all changed and I'm a better person for it. Corrections: The tedious Brit drama is of course Downton Abbey The album is by Jeff Wayne not Jeff Lynne (easy mistake) There was a movie of War of the Worlds from 1953 but the album is a fictional soundtrack as suspected Most the science I expound on is at least slightly wrong --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/andy-goodman8/message
