Did you know that comic books were invented in Connecticut? Well, sort of. There are lots of precedents for printing texts with images. But the origin of mass market comic book printing is 1930s Waterbury, where Eastern Color printing began by re-publishing comic strips from newspapers in magazine form. Eventually they partnered with Dell publishing to print the first original content American comic books. But today's episode takes us a ways down Route 8 from Waterbury to Derby. From the 1940s to 1991, Derby was the home of Charlton Comics, unique for being a one-stop shop that included writers, artists, publishing, and distribution under one roof. The story of Charlton is colorful in more than one way. In this episode, Natalie Belanger of the Connecticut Museum talks to Jon B. Cooke, author of The Charlton Companion. Learn about the seedy origins of the company, its often lackadaisical approach to quality control, and why there was nothing else like it in American comics. Learn more about the Nutmeg state's connection to the comic industry by visiting the Connecticut Museum's exhibition, Connecticut's Bookshelf now on display at the museum in Hartford. Jon B.

On today's show, we have a returning guest who has written two new books since we last spoke. One is a biography on artist John Severin and a history of Charlton Comics with the Charlton Companion. Here he is, Jon B. Cooke. (yeah yeah I know, I know, I accidentally said Jon C. Cooke during the episode…). Plus, the usual news from Fun Ideas Productions.
About Will Eisner WILL EISNER was born William Erwin Eisner on March 6, 1917 in Brooklyn, New York. By the time of his death on January 3, 2005, following complications from open heart surgery, Eisner was recognized internationally as one of the giants in the field of sequential art, a term he coined. In a career that spanned nearly seventy years and eight decades — from the dawn of the comic book to the advent of digital comics — he truly was the 'Orson Welles of comics' and the 'father of the Graphic Novel'. He broke new ground in the development of visual narrative and the language of comics and was the creator of The Spirit, John Law, Lady Luck, Mr. Mystic, Uncle Sam, Blackhawk, Sheena and countless others. One of the comic industry's most prestigious awards, The Eisner Award, is named after him. Recognized as the 'Oscars' of the American comic book business, the Eisners are presented annually before a packed ballroom at Comi-Con International in San Diego, America's largest comics convention. Wizard magazine named Eisner "the most influential comic artist of all time." Michael Chabon's Pulitzer-prize winning novel Kavalier and Clay is based in good part on Eisner. Also in 2002, Eisner received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Federation for Jewish Culture, only the second such honor in the organization's history, presented by Pulitzer-prize winning cartoonist Art Spiegelman. An authorized biography, Will Eisner: A Spirited Life by Bob Andelman, was published in 2005. A new biography, Will Eisner: A Dreamer's Life in Comics by Michael Schumacher has been released in 2010 by Bloomsbury. A film documentary about Eisner's career, "Will Eisner: Portrait of a Sequential Artist" from Montilla Pictures (Andrew and Jon B. Cooke), premiered at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival.

2019: "Weirdo. In The Book of Weirdo: A Retrospective of R. Crumb's Legendary Humor Comics Anthology" is a massive work by Jon B. Cooke that even Crumb himself questions the logic of, although he admits he learned quite a bit about himself and his magazine by reading it. As for Cooke, who is a graphic designer by day and editor of "Comic Book Creator" magazine by night, he also worked with his brother Andrew on "Will Eisner: Portrait of a Sequential Artist." WARNING: Audio problems make this a tough listen.
Author Jon B. Cooke visits the Crumbs' old neighborhood talking with the folks who were friends and participants in WEIRDO magazine, including the great cartoonist Robert Armstrong!
Zack, Will, and Ben discuss Keiji Nakazawa's Barefoot Gen, Scott Edelman and Rico Rival's Scarecrow, Bill Griffith's Nobody's Fool, Jon B. Cooke's The Book of Weirdo, and Kid Gloves by Lucy Knisley.
Jon B. Cooke joins Art Spiegelman, Drew Friedman, Kim Deitch, John Holmstrom, Mark Newgarden, and Glenn Head for a panel discussion on R. Crumb's legendary humor comics anthology.
Our final episode of the first season brings you Jon B. Cooke, the editor of "Comic Book Artist", "Comic Book Creator" and the writer of books such as "The Warren Companion" and his latest book "The Book of Weirdo". Have a great summer and catch up on the episodes you missed.
Jon B. Cooke has once again delivered a definitive comics history. "The Book of Weirdo" is an amazingly in-depth history of one of the most important comics anthologies of the 1980s and 1990s, featuring work by such prominent cartoonists as R. Crumb, Peter Bagge, Bill Griffith, Kim Deitch, Ace Backwards and many more, as well as by some of the most obscure and fascinating talented creators of that era. I had a great time talking "Weirdo" and its impact with Jon and I think you'll enjoy the chat too. For more on Weirdo and Jon's book, click here. Jon's podcast is called Subterranean Dispatch -- and the first episode includes an interview with R. Crumb.
