Crónicas Superheroicas #53 SUPERMAN: KRYPTONITA NUNCA MÁS ¿MÁS O MENOS PODERES? Con Patricio López Tobares y Santiago Oga En 1970, pleno comienzo de la Bronze Age, Julius Schwartz reemplaza como editor a Mort Weisinger. Llega a Superman con muchos planteos, el principal, despojar al Hombre de Acero de su "divinidad" y lo que le quitase "protagonismo". Convoca a Dennis O'Neil como guionista y le pide a Curt Swan que modernice sus trazos. Un gran jugada que será un antes y un después. Pero... ¿funcionó? Releyendo la historia, tragos de por medio, reflexionamos su contexto, su impacto y muchos temas más!

Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? Da John Byrne i 1986 startede Superman (næsten) forfra, og DC sagde farvel til "The Silver Age," besluttede redaktøren Julius Schwartz, at det skulle være en afsked, der ville blive husket. Derfor valgte han "Something old, and something new" — Alan Moore som forfatter og Curt Swan som tegner. Det var de "sidste" numre af Action Comics og Superman, hvor Moore tog et meget nostalgisk farvel til en æra fyldt med vidunderlige, mærkelige, naive, fjollede og tossede historier. Historier, som havde betydet meget for den unge Moore, og som han grundlæggende aldrig er kommet over. Kim og jeg gennemgår de to hæfter side for side, og vi kommer vidt omkring. Lige fra "Nabokov" til "Rummets Helte" og alt det, der ligger imellem. Så lyt med til en podcast om en Alan Moore, der aldrig har været mere sentimental og nostalgisk. facebook.com/supersnakpodcast instagram.com/supersnakpodcast supersnakpodcast@gmail.com

In 1986, after decades of sneering supervillains, mad scientists and interplanetary despots, the Man of Steel was finally confronted with a foe even he couldn't defeat—an editorially mandated reboot! But before he could fly off into the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths sunset, he'd have to deal with deadly new versions of some of his classic foes in the two-part farewell Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?, courtesy of superstar writer Alan Moore, quintessential Superman artist Curt Swan and legendary editor Julius Schwartz! (Content warning: Things get a bit dark.) And as if that weren't enough story for our landmark 150th episode, we also crack open The Superman Super-Spectacular from 1963's Action Comics #309, featuring a guest appearance by none other than President John F. Kennedy! Can 60s Superman protect his secret identity from Lois Lane and Lana Lang for the umpteenth time? Can 80s Superman protect his friends—and himself—when his rogues gallery gets a lethal upgrade? And can these stories survive a trip to that Bottle City of Comic-Book Candor known as ... The Comics Canon? Discussed in This Episode! The unfortunate timing of Action Comics #309 The bottle city of Kandor's greatest foe!

In the sometimes uncomfortable finale of our three-part letter to J. Vernon Shea, HPL opines on weightier topics, including the looming forces of war and peace, and issues of justice (social and otherwise) surrounding the famed Scottsboro Boys trial. CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains numerous bleeps and some awkward conversation. Not recommended for those uncomfortable with discussing racism. HPL mentions Lincoln Steffens in this letter, a famous liberal muckraking journalist who wrote about the corruption of politics in Rhode Island, St. Louis, and other places. If you want to hear more about corrupt Providence politics, we recommend the podcast Crimetown. The "nice little Jew" HPL mentions at the very end of the letter was Julius Schwartz, who would go on to become a prominent editor of famous titles at DC comics, including both Superman and Batman. Schwartz commissioned the collaborative story "The Challenge from Beyond", jointly written by Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Frank Belknap Long, Abraham Merritt and C.L. Moore in 1935.

[Video and photos available at https://cmswm.it/bendis-mit] MIT Comparative Media Studies/Writing is thrilled to welcome award-winning comics creator Brian Michael Bendis, a New York Times bestseller and one of the most successful writers working in mainstream comics, for the 2018 Julius Schwartz lecture, in conversation with fellow comics writer Marjorie Liu. For the last eighteen years, Brian’s books have consistently sat on the top of the nationwide comic and graphic novel sales charts. Now with DC Comics, he is the co-creator and consulting producer of the Peabody Award-winning Jessica Jones on Netflix from Marvel TV. For Marvel entertainment, Bendis was the monthly writer of the bestselling Defenders, Jessica Jones, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Guardians of the Galaxy series. The introduction of the multiracial Spider-Man, Miles Morales, made the front page of USA Today and went on to become an international hotbed political topic featured on Fox News, CNN, The Daily Show, Conan O’Brien, Howard Stern and many others. The news of a new ‘Iron man’ character in the form of 15-year-old Riri Williams made massive international headlines when the story broke in Time magazine. Her solo debut as Invincible Iron man debuted in the top five nationwide. Before that, Brian completed a 100 issue run on the X-Men franchise with the debut of ALL NEW X-MEN and UNCANNY X-MEN and 9 years helming Marvel’s popular AVENGERS franchise by writing every issue of the NEW AVENGERS plus debuting the hit books AVENGERS, MIGHTY AVENGERS and DARK AVENGERS along with the wildly successful ‘event’ projects AVENGERS VERSUS X-MEN, HOUSE OF M, SECRET WAR, SPIDER-MEN, SECRET INVASION, AGE OF ULTRON, SIEGE and CIVIL WAR 2. In delivering the 2018 Julius Schwartz Lecture, Brian follows comics and science fiction legends Neil Gaiman (https://youtu.be/KU-tncC7qIw) and J. Michael Straczynski (https://youtu.be/OMNtVURpLzM?t=2m55s). ======= The Julius Schwartz Lecture, produced with generous support by the Gaiman Foundation (http://www.gaimanfoundation.org/), is hosted by the Comparative Media Studies/Writing program (https://cmsw.mit.edu) at MIT and was founded to honor the memory of longtime DC Comics editor Julius “Julie” Schwartz, whose contributions to our culture include co-founding the first science fiction fanzine in 1932, the first science fiction literary agency in 1934, and the first World Science Fiction Convention in 1939. Schwartz went on to launch a career in comics that would last for 42 years, during which time he helped launch the Silver Age of Comics, introduced the idea of parallel universes, and had a hand in the reinvention of such characters as Batman, Superman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, and the Atom.

When a plane carrying Miss USA crash lands after it is attacked by wild birds (killing her in the process), Batman and Robin soon become aware of a sinister plot by a criminal known as the Birdmaster who plans to hold the world ransom by sending out armies of trained birds to attack any planes in the sky. Traveling to the Birdmaster's castle base, the dynamic duo battle the Birdmaster and his minions, forcing the Birdmaster to flee. In a stroke of irony, Birdmaster escapes in a plane that's attacked by his own birds, forcing a crash land and causing the criminal's death. “My Wife, the Witch!” Writer Gardner Fox, artist Carmine Infantino & Sid Greene in which the stretchable sleuth and his sexy sidekick sidle up to Salem – errr, Malem! When Ralph and Sue Dibny arrive at the Pine Beach Hotel in the town of Malem, they find that their reservations have been lost. The only room the hotel has available is said to be haunted, but the Dibny's take it anyway. The next day, Sue finds a book of spells. When she tries the first two, the magic works. She then sends Ralph to the store for the materials she needs for the third spell. Ralph arrives at the store and stumbles upon a robbery. He apprehends the gang, but not the gang boss who planned the crime. Ralph suspects the hotel manager and tricks the man into a panic. When the manager flees, Ralph catches him. The manager used the phony magic story to trick Ralph into capturing his gang, so that he could keep the loot for himself. Public Service Announcement Theatre: Buzzy Says – Old People are People Too!
