Podcast appearances and mentions of marcus kwame anderson

Stories we watch and read often only show it from one perspective, very often excluding those that truly made all the difference. In Big Jim and the White Boy, a graphic novel that reimagines the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, we get to experience the journey from the perspective of Jim and centers on his experiences with his sidekick Huck. Author David F. Walker and artist Marcus Kwame Anderson join us to talk about all of the inspirations, ambitions, love and strength of Big Jim.

Portland author David F. Walker and illustrator Marcus Kwame Anderson have worked together before - on a 2021 graphic novel about the Black Panther Party. This time they’ve teamed up on something a little different: an update of the classic American novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” In their version, the escaped slave Jim is more than just Huck’s companion; he’s a fully imagined character. Walker joins us to talk about the work of updating an American classic.

Portland author David F. Walker and illustrator Marcus Kwame Anderson have worked together before - on a 2021 graphic novel about the Black Panther Party. This time they’ve teamed up on something a little different: an update of the classic American novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” In their version, the escaped slave Jim is more than just Huck’s companion; he’s a fully imagined character. Walker joins us to talk about the work of updating an American classic.

Since its publication in 1885, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has been celebrated as one of the great American works of literature. But the novel has also been criticized for how Mark Twain stereotyped Black characters like Jim, the enslaved man who befriends Huck Finn. Now, author David Walker and illustrator Marcus Kwame Anderson have reimagined this story with Jim at its center. Their new graphic novel, Big Jim and the White Boy, is an action story filled with adventures, fight sequences and an acknowledgment of the danger of the world Jim operates within. In today's episode, Anderson and Walker join NPR's Scott Simon to discuss the novel, including what they did to turn Jim into a multidimensional character, their decision to keep the N-word in their retelling and whether Huck and Jim were ever really friends.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Special episode alert! Today we discuss the new Netflix film Rebel Ridge, very much the kind of movie that inverts our usual films. A movie about civil asset forfeiture doesn't sound too exciting, but there's a lot of good things to be found in this one.  All that said, we do have a few issues which leads to an interesting discussion about white filmmakers tackling Black stories, choices Black actors make in those roles, and more!  Check us out on all the social medias now! @whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod on IG and TikTok and @White_pod on Twitter.  We've got some great episodes coming your way soon, specifically a conversation with David F. Walker and Marcus Kwame Anderson, the duo behind the reimagined Huck Finn graphic novel Big Jim and The White Boy.

"It's me and Steve!"  Talk about killing nostalgia, we look back on a movie we all were fond of (except understandably Jamie) and realize it's one of the most racist blockbusters ever made. 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is just a wild ride of racism and misogyny from start to finish. We discuss the infamous dinner scene, how bad breakups fueled the dark tone of the movie, and what the hell is going with Short Round. Plus, we reimagine what a movie starring Short Round would be like (and if he had a real name) and also add a new level to our caucacity meter!   If you're not already familiar you absolutely need to check out Marcus and Jamie's work. Both are fantastic creators and are doing some stand out work.  Find Marcus at @marcuskwame on Twitter and @Marcus_kwame on IG. His book with David F. Walker, The Black Panther Party, a Graphic Novel History is a must have. He is also one of the hosts of the Black Comics Chat podcast.  Jamie Noguchi can be found at @angryzenmaster and has plenty of great work out on Thenib.com and is co-creator of The School for Extraterrestrial Girls series. As always, you can keep up with us at @white_pod and reach out to us at whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod@gmail.com to suggest movies for us to watch or give us your own reimagining's of these movies.

Our guest this week is David F. Walker. David is an award-winning writer known primarily for his work in comics including Luke Cage and Bitter Root. He is the co-creator, with illustrator Marcus Kwame Anderson, of the new graphic novel history “The Black Panther Party.” ABOUT THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY A bold and fascinating graphic novel history of the revolutionary Black Panther Party. Founded in Oakland, California, in 1966, the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense was a radical political organization that stood in defiant contrast to the mainstream civil rights movement. This gripping illustrated history explores the impact and significance of the Panthers, from their social, educational, and healthcare programs that were designed to uplift the Black community to their battle against police brutality through citizen patrols and frequent clashes with the FBI, which targeted the Party from its outset. Using dramatic comic book-style retellings and illustrated profiles of key figures, The Black Panther Party captures the major events, people, and actions of the party, as well as their cultural and political influence and enduring legacy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message

Sorry for the delay in this week's episode, ACC-tion Heroes!This week, we take a break from WandaVision and AstroCity to talk about an amazing graphic novel: The Black Pantry Party by David F. Walker and Marcus Kwame Anderson. We recognize that we may not be the best people to talk about this work and this history of the Black Panthers. To that end, we are looking to bring in more Black and activist folks to talk about this particular work and the legacy of the Panthers. But for now, we do a deep dive into the work, discuss the history of the panthers, and discuss our take aways as why this was not included in our education!

For Black History Month I am dedicating a two-part podcast to the Black Panthers and speaking with author David F. Walker ("Bitter Root," "Shaft," "The Life of Frederick Douglas") about his new graphic novel "The Black Panther Party." In Part One, we discuss what inspired the book, about historical context (including the Kerner Commission Report), and about Marcus Kwame Anderson who illustrated the book. In Part Two we extend the conversation to the new film "Judas and the Black Messiah."

Eisner Award-winning writer David F. Walker joins Justin to discuss his work bringing historic episodes of racial justice -- and injustice -- to life. His new graphic novel, The Black Panther Party: A Graphic Novel History, created with artist Marcus Kwame Anderson, just came out Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, 2021. David discusses the power of comics to educate and (maybe?) change minds and hearts, the danger of casting ourselves as heroes in our own stories, and what "creative self-care" really means. David and Justin also talk about treading water until you can swim, and David’s comic-writing bucket list, including the Lone Ranger and Tonto (for realz).   David is the co-creator of the Eisner-winning comic series Bitter Root. He has written major titles for DC (Cyborg, Young Justice), Marvel (Power Man and Iron Fist) and Image. He is also a filmmaker and a recognized expert on 1970s Black film. David is an adjunct professor at Portland State University.   LINKS The Black Panther Party: A Graphic Novel History https://amzn.to/3svJ1s3   Bitter Root Vol. 1   https://amzn.to/3bAhort Who was Fred Hampton?  https://bit.ly/2Lnl7OJ “The 1968 Kerner Commission Got It Right, But Nobody Listened”, Smithsonian Magazine, March 2018  https://bit.ly/3i9gK5A Classics Illustrated   https://bit.ly/3bPlpbZ “Bad Apples of Bad Barrels?

On episode 51 of Mirage, Marcus Kwami Anderson and I discuss the social commentary at work in the graphic novels written by Joel Christian Gill.

Time Codes: 00:01:18 – Introduction 00:04:22 – It's the holiday season! 00:06:25 – Snow Daze 00:29:20 – Snow by Night 00:58:06 – Overwatch: Reflections 01:19:11 – Wrap up 01:21:14 – Contact us On this webcomics episode, the last of 2018, Sean and Derek get into the holiday spirit. They discuss three titles that concern Christmas or the winter season (i.e., has the word "snow" in the title). They begin with Leonardo Faierman and Marcus Kwame Anderson's Snow Daze, a narrative about a group of enterprising teenagers in Queens, NY, who create a business shoveling snow, all the while dealing with the challenges of urban life, especially as it concerns matters of race. After that the guys look at another snow-related webcomic, Snow by Night, written by Eric Menge and with primary art by Julie A. Wright and Brittany Michel. This is a fantasy inspired by French colonial culture in North America, and largely revolves around a manitou, a nature spirit of the wilderness, who quests to find her "heart." Finally, Derek and Sean turn to a quite different webcomic, one created by the Blizzard Entertainment corporation to supplement one of their popular video games. Michael Chu and Miki Montlló's Overwatch: Reflectionsis a Christmas story involving the character Tracer as she attempts to find a last-minute gift and (predictably enough) learns the true meaning of the season.

[This interview was conducted via Skype which may contribute to fluctuations in audio quality.] Marcus Kwame Anderson (illustrator for the comic Snow Daze and creator of the webcomic EastRaven) speaks to Jenn about the correlation of categories in the field of visual arts as compared to the written genre, how collaboration works from the illustrators perspective, and about his own projects and aims to create stories his own children can read and see themselves in.  Transcription of this episode can be found on the Episodes page of the podcast Tumbler next to the episode link. 

Every week on the Making Comics Gutter Talk podcast we do our best to make sure we bring you guests with wide ranges of experience and knowledge. Some guests in the past only recently made their foray into comic creation and some are, well, Mark Waid and Stephen Bissette. However, one topic that doesn't come up as Adam would like sometimes is the amount of power an artist has in not just their skills but their talent. This week's Gutter Talk guest, though, Marcus Kwame Anderson, is well aware of just how much power he has with his art. As a seemingly jack of all creative trades, Marcus uses his art and comics to not just please himself and consumers but to also make a statement. As you'll hear, he has found out just how much positive change he can make. He hasn't stopped trying since. In this episode you'll also hear some big news in the intro regarding the future of Gutter Talk. Ok, that sounds a little more ominous than intended but really, it's all good. Just download, listen, and everything will be just fine. Like with every post, we again want to make a plea to ask for your ratings and reviews on iTunes. Please take a few minutes and head on over to our page to give the Gutter Talk podcast a rating and review. We really do appreciate not just the effort but the love, too. It means the world to not just the host, Adam, but to the rest of us at MakingComics.com.
