Episode 41 - Murdock and Marvel: 1995 Part 2 It was a tough year in comics, especially for the big two.  Comic shops were having trouble, readers seemed to be moving on to other things, and corporate overlords continued to demand ever higher profits.  1995 was a bit of an…apocalypse.  This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 1995.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #336-347, Elekrta: Root of Evil #1, Marvel Super-Heroes Megazine #4 and 6, Spider-Man: Power of Terror #2 - #4, Sabertooth Classic #11, Marvel: Portraits #2 - #4, What if…? #73, Ghost Rider #61, X-Universe #1 – #2, Ruins #1, Incredible Hulk #434, Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe #1, Over the Edge #1, and Double Edge: Omega graphic novel    Writing: Gregory Wright (336-337), Alan Smithee [actually Dan G Chichester] (338-342), Warren Ellis (343), J.M. DeMatteis (344-347)  Pencils: Tom Grindberg (336-337), Alexander Jubran (339-340), Keith Pollard (341-342), Pollard and Arvell Malcolm Jones (343), Ron Wagner (344-347)  Inks: Don Hudson (336-337), Andre Parks and Hudson (338), Parks, Hudson Bud LaRosa and Rodney Ramos (339), Parks, Hudson and Marie Severin (340), Art Nichols (341), Tom Palmer (342-343), Bill Reinhold (344-347)  The year begins with the final 2 chapters of the Fathoms of Humanity story arc that started last year. You'll recall that story stared with Daredevil following a homeless man into the sewers and coming befriending him and a whole group of people who live there. He battled the King of the Sewers and defeated him again. And we also saw the kingpin attempting to slowly grow his power back. In these final two chapters we learn the homeless man Daredevil followed was once a superhero himself – peacekeeper – in order to help Daredevil and his community against the Sewer King's attempts to take back control of the community and defeat Daredevil. From there, we get the story of Victor “Kruel” Krueller and the Ghost of a Chance diner in flashbacks to explain why Kruel is going after those near and dear to Daredevil/Matt Murdock (Foogy, Glorianna, DA Malpher, Ben Urich). Seems he double crossed Wilson Fisk and at the diner, Fisk caught him and nearly killed him – then covered it up by drugging those same people to wipe their memory. Now Kruel is bent on revenge and is seeking out the witnesses to help him remember what happened. During the quest for information, Kruel kills Glorianna which causes Fisk and Daredevil to team up to locate and confront Kruel. When they do, Fisk ends up killing Kruel.   There's a side story going on in this story as we see Karen Page trying to get information about some troubling images, she saw on a CD given to her by her former adult movie producers.   After a stand-alone book that was part of the Over the Edge event that didn't really make a lot of sense involving the Punisher. We get the start of the Inferno story arc. In it, we see a second Daredevil in the original red and yellow costume and a bonding around the city and talking with Foggy and Karen (as well as leaving taunting messages with Matt). We also see a villain names Sir who's attacking and killing women.   At one point, the two meet and Sir beats up Daredevil so badly, Sir is able to take his costume.  This leads to a very confusing confrontation in which Sir as Daredevil fights the red and yellow daredevil – who happens to be Murdock as an alternate personality. In the end, Batlin as Daredevil defeats Sir as Daredevil and Karen and Foggy come to realize that Batlin is actually Matt Murdock!  Elektra: Root of Evil  Daito of the Snakeroot kills himself with the Sakki sword and makes it impure. So the rest of the snakeroot need to kill three specific people to purify the blade again. (not sure how they know who). There's a brief cameo by Daredevil is issue 1 where he stops Elektra from killing some random mercenaries who are after her.  Elektra wants to form her own Ryu (ninja group like the Chaste) and works with Nick Fury to get recruits.  We briefly meet Target, Lynch, Impact, Masquerade, Niko and Salvo before most are killed in their very first battle against the snakeroot (like the X-force in Deadpool 2).   Via flashbacks, we learn Elektra has an older brother, Orestez who saved Elektra when she was a child and whom killed their mother for seemly cheating on their father. Though Elektra did turn out to be their father's daughter  Other flashbacks show Elektra was a member of the Snakeroot and fell in love with Tekagi – whom she ends up killing at the end of this series with new sais covered in poison before they could kill all 3 purity people.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #347 December 1995 “Inferno Part 3”  Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Sometimes the crossover is actually cool.

Parmi les personnages colorés qui mettent le bazar dans les cases de nos comic books préférés, l'Incroyable Hulk, créé par Stan Lee et Jack Kirby en 1962, est sûrement celui dont les multiples mutations et interprétations sont les plus hétérogènes, mais aussi une magnifique démonstration de la façon dont les fans s'approprient les héros de papier. Aujourd'hui, on va parler de Hulk, mais pas seulement de Hulk. Et puis, quel Hulk, d'abord ? Occupe-toi de ton Hulk ! Ce qui m'a toujours laissé perplexe chez les amateurs de super-héros, c'est leur fascination pour l'échelle de puissance des personnages. Si elle est naturelle, elle est aussi et surtout très limitée et occupe bien trop de place dans les débats, au détriment de la profondeur des thématiques sociales, politiques et psychologiques qui entourent les héros de comics. Pour moi, l'infantilisation systématique des problématiques et des intrigues par une partie du lectorat et des prescripteurs amène à une vision biaisée du genre phare de la bande dessinée américaine. Malgré une lassitude de plus en plus palpable, les blockbusters de Marvel restent des valeurs sûres au cinéma, et on se demande souvent pourquoi le grand public ne s'intéresse pas plus aux comics dont ils sont issus. La réponse semble évidente quand on constate qu'une partie de ceux-là même qui devraient pousser les gens à en lire n'en renvoient que l'image d'une sorte de gigantesque bagarre permanente dont le seul enjeu serait de savoir qui est le plus fort. Cette attitude puérile des fans va souvent de pair avec un refus du changement et un rejet systématique de tout ce qui ne correspond pas à des standards esthétiques et scénaristiques induits de longue date. Pourtant, de façon tout à fait évidente, les produits issus de ces licences à l'aspect mercantile indéniable s'inscrivent dans la durée et doivent évoluer avec leur époque, sous peine de disparaître. C'est vrai pour les super-héros, et plus globalement pour toutes les figures de la Pop Culture. Par leur refus du changement, et leurs formulations abusives comme “mon Batman”, “mon Star Wars”, ou “mon Superman”, les puristes autoproclamés assassinent ce qu'ils aiment en cherchant à figer l'image totalement biaisée d'un personnage ou d'une licence, en interdisant indirectement l'accès à un nouveau public. Hulk est un exemple très parlant, car c'est sûrement l'un des héros Marvel qui a le plus changé entre les années 1960 et aujourd'hui, en comparaison de personnages comme Tony Stark ou Steve Rogers qui, s'ils ont tous les deux été développés de différentes façons, sont restés beaucoup plus proches de leurs caractéristiques d'origine. Aussi, quand le Marvel Cinematic Universe a adapté ces changements, certes plus abruptement que dans les comic books, une partie des spectateurs s'est plainte de ne plus retrouver “son” Hulk au cinéma. Un grief recevable face aux méthodes expéditives de Disney et Marvel, mais prenant parfois des proportions totalement ridicules, entre appels au boycott, véhémence disproportionnée, et association douteuse avec des discours prônant l'intolérance sous couvert du respect du matériau d'origine. Se plaindre de l'évolution du Hulk du MCU revient tout simplement à nier que le personnage n'a pas toujours été le même dans les comics. C'est le réduire à une masse de muscles décérébrée, un gros balourd tout juste bon à soulever des voitures et à traverser des murs. Évidemment, pour appréhender cela, il faut s'intéresser un minimum à l'histoire du personnage sur le papier et à ce qu'il représente dans l'univers Marvel. Il manque Hulk dans un coin… Hulk est un pur produit de son époque : l'Âge d'Argent des comics, une période où les super-héros reviennent sur le devant de la scène après une longue pause durant laquelle des genres comme l'horreur, la romance et une science-fiction héritière des pulp's les avaient supplantés. Aussi, Stan Lee et Jack Kirby en font rapidement une sorte de pot-pourri d'influences pop, qui va paradoxalement avoir du mal à trouver son public. Irradié par sa propre création, la bombe gamma, le scientifique Bruce Banner se transforme en une monstrueuse créature pratiquement invulnérable : l'incroyable Hulk ! Aidé par son sidekick de fortune, Rick Jones, et poursuivi par l'armée américaine, Banner cherche désespérément à retrouver son humanité tout en essayant de contrôler les pulsions destructrices de Hulk… Comme beaucoup d'autres héros de la Maison des Idées, Hulk reprend les caractéristiques du monstre made in Marvel. Avant d'être un justicier doté de pouvoirs surhumains, comme pouvaient l'être Superman et ses congénères durant le Golden Age, c'est surtout une victime des dérives de la science, incarnation de la peur de l'atome qui étreint la planète au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. À cette thématique propre à la Science-Fiction des années 1950 s'ajoutent deux influences classiques majeures : Frankenstein ou le Prométhée Moderne de Mary Shelley et L'Étrange Cas du Docteur Jekyll et de Mr Hyde de Robert Louis Stevenson. Deux classiques de la littérature gothique ou néo-gothique, faisant partie des fondements de la science-fiction et de l'horreur, qui ont façonné une bonne partie de notre culture populaire moderne. Là aussi, il est question des avancées et des dévoiements de la science, mais aussi de l'évolution de la psychologie et de la façon dont “l'anormal” est perçu en fonction des époques. Pour réhumaniser sa créature, Stan Lee va ajouter au drame de Banner une dimension de Soap Opera qui lui est chère, avec le personnage de Betty Ross. Avec cet amour rendu impossible par la transformation de Bruce Banner, pourchassé par le propre père de sa bien-aimée, la série Hulk gagne en profondeur et parle à un public plus large que celui des seuls amateurs d'aventures super-héroïques. Dès le début, Hulk est un personnage atypique, même pour Marvel Comics. Considéré comme une menace et condamné à la vie de fugitif, Bruce Banner est, bien plus que la Chose des Fantastic Four ou que Spider-Man, mal-aimé et craint par les simples mortels de l'univers Marvel. C'est peut-être à cause de ce statut hybride avant-gardiste, couplé à des affrontements avec des super-vilains assez quelconques, se résumant à des envahisseurs allégorie du Péril Rouge, que le personnage va peiner à rencontrer un lectorat conséquent. Lancée en 1962, Hulk est un échec et la série est annulée après seulement six numéros. Mais Marvel croit en son personnage et le colosse de jade va rapidement visiter les pages d'autres séries de l'éditeur, croisant la route des Quatre Fantastiques ou de l'Homme-Araignée et devenant l'un des membres-fondateurs des Avengers. Revenant dans ses propres aventures dès 1964 sous la plume du légendaire Steve Ditko, dans les pages de Tales to Astonish, Hulk partage le magazine avec Giant Man, puis avec Namor. Bill Everett, John Buscema ou encore Marie Severin vont ensuite se succéder au dessin, et en 1968, après cent-un numéros, le magazine est carrément renommé The Incredible Hulk. Il est intéressant de noter que durant cette période, même si Stan Lee reste crédité comme le principal scénariste, le personnage de Hulk est largement refaçonné par les différents artistes qui travaillent sur ses aventures. La raison même pour laquelle Banner se transforme en monstre varie d'un épisode à l'autre : s'il semble tout simplement se transformer à la tombée de la nuit, tel un loup-garou, dans ses premières aventures, ou même parfois de façon tout à fait injustifiée, on découvre peu à peu, dans les pages de The Avengers ou de Tales to Astonish, que le stress et la colère jouent un rôle prépondérant dans la métamorphose de Banner et dans sa maîtrise de celle-ci. En à peine deux ans, on passe donc d'un Hulk gris qui se transforme la nuit à un Hulk vert qui se transforme sous l'effet de la colère, et la bête pataude et massive des débuts, à mi-chemin entre King Kong et le Frankenstein de Boris Karloff, se mute peu à peu en créature impétueuse et beaucoup plus expressive.La nuit, tous les Hulks sont gris… L'année 1977 marque un nouveau départ pour Hulk. Si le personnage a eu droit à des adaptations en séries animées durant les années 60, 80 et 90, la série live produite par CBS reste sûrement son portage à l'écran le plus célèbre. Réalisé par le prolifique Kenneth Johnson, avec pour têtes d'affiche Bill Bixby dans le rôle de David Banner (renommé ainsi à cause d'un étrange cliché totalement homophobe) et le culturiste Lou Ferrigno dans celui du titan vert, le premier téléfilm diffusé en novembre 1977 va donner naissance à cinq saisons d'une série télévisée qui va faire monter en flèche la popularité du personnage auprès du grand public. N'échappant à aucun cliché de l'époque, la série L'Incroyable Hulk va ancrer l'image d'un Docteur Banner vagabond et victime de ses émotions, exacerbant les influences de Lee et Kirby, la série Le Fugitif et Frankenstein en tête.  Cette version de Hulk, cantonnant la créature à un rôle de brute incapable de s'exprimer autrement que par des grognements, a marqué les esprits pour longtemps, laissant faussement croire que le personnage n'avait pas plus de contraste que ça. Côté comics, de grands noms comme Len Wein, Bill Mantlo, Roy Thomas, Herb Trimpe, Sal Buscema, Roger Stern, ou encore John Byrne, rejoignent la liste des artistes et scénaristes qui interviennent pour un temps plus ou moins long sur la série. Si le fil conducteur d'un Bruce Banner en cavale, menace itinérante semant le chaos à travers les États-Unis, est conservé, The Incredible Hulk explore bien d'autres pistes issues de la Science-Fiction et du Fantastique pour relancer la machine au cours des années 1970 et 1980. L'alter ego de Banner y est également beaucoup mieux traité : contrairement à sa version télévisée, il est doué de parole et de pensée, et constitue un protagoniste à part entière, plutôt que d'être une sorte d'outil scénaristique légitimant les scènes d'action. À partir de 1987, le scénariste Peter David arrive sur la série pour un run qui va durer plus de dix ans et durant lequel il va développer de nombreuses facettes du personnage. Entouré de dessinateurs comme Todd McFarlane, Jeff Purves, Darick Robertson, Dale Keown, Liam Sharp, ou Mike Deodato Jr, Peter David va creuser les variantes existantes du colosse, ou en inventer de nouvelles. Du Hulk gris qui devient Joe Fixit ; au Maestro, dictateur d'un futur dystopique ; en passant par le Professeur Hulk ; Peter David met en évidence ce qui aura peut-être échappé à certains : quoi de mieux que Hulk lui-même pour incarner l'intérêt d'un comic book Hulk ? Sur la décennie où il officie, David fait alternativement de Hulk et de Banner les meilleurs alliés, mais aussi les opposés les plus parfaits, révélant une relation aussi complémentaire que conflictuelle entre l'homme et le monstre. La dimension dévastatrice du colosse n'est plus tant matérielle que psychologique et ses multiples personnalités amènent chacune de nouvelles forces et de nouvelles faiblesses à Banner, qui devient finalement un visage de Hulk parmi tant d'autres. Tel Bruce Banner, Peter David est aujourd'hui indissociable de Hulk. S'il est récemment revenu sur l'univers du personnage pour développer dans des mini-séries relativement dispensables les figures de Joe Fixit ou du Maestro, il reste comme celui qui aura su creuser la psyché de Banner et redéfinir Hulk pour restaurer son image tragique de victime des dérives de la science, captive d'un tumulte qui ne cesse de s'auto-alimenter. À la Banner ! Après avoir tué Betty Banner de la façon la plus traumatisante qui soit, Peter David quitte la série en 1999. Lui succéder n'est pas une mince affaire et bon nombre de scénaristes vont tenter de donner vie à leur vision de Hulk, tout en continuant à exploiter les pistes lancées durant la décennie précédente. Paul Jenkins, Jeph Loeb, Jeff Parker, ou encore Mark Waid vont ainsi œuvrer sur le personnage et développer son background, donnant naissance à des intrigues plus ou moins pertinentes et durables. À titre personnel, je citerais deux sagas particulièrement marquantes qui méritent que vous vous y penchiez, et ça, même si vous n'êtes pas un inconditionnel du colosse de jade. Planet Hulk, écrite par Greg Pak et publiée en 2006, renoue avec les origines nourries de Science-Fiction pulp du personnage, pour un résultat à mi-chemin entre John Carter d'Edgar Rice Burroughs et Ben-Hur. On y suit un Hulk exilé dans l'espace, embrassant une carrière de gladiateur sur une planète étrangère avant de finalement en devenir le héros, puis le souverain. Il s'agit incontestablement de l'un des arcs les plus épiques publiés par Marvel Comics, toutes séries confondues, ces dernières années et il est relativement accessible aux néophytes. Sa suite World War Hulk, se rapproche plutôt de la SF des années 1950, sorte de scénario catastrophe où le monstre arrivé de l'espace pour semer le chaos est remplacé par un Hulk revanchard venu régler ses comptes avec l'univers Marvel. Véritable coup de tonnerre à sa sortie en 2018, la série Immortal Hulk, de Al Ewing et Joe Bennett, revisite en cinquante numéros l'esprit torturé de Bruce Banner. Vision résolument moderne et horrifique du personnage, elle s'éloigne des poncifs super-héroïques et marque un retour aux sources du mythe, où Hulk devient une majestueuse et inquiétante créature crépusculaire, dans un univers que ne renieraient pas Clive Barker et John Carpenter. Flirtant parfois avec le gore et résolument adulte, tant dans le fond que dans la forme, sans oublier de faire quelques clins d'œil à la série de CBS qui permettent de boucler proprement la boucle, Immortal Hulk compte parmi les meilleures séries Marvel des années 2010. Cela ne peut que nous conforter dans l'idée que l'aura de la série TV de CBS, s'étendant bien au-delà de sa diffusion originale entre 1977 et 1982, et prolongée par plusieurs téléfilms jusqu'en 1990, a eu un impact, direct ou indirect, sur le contenu des comics Hulk. Si l'image que vous vous faites de Hulk est celle d'un colosse un peu crétin qui casse tout comme un enfant incontrôlable, c'est plus parce que ce cliché tenace a été imprimé dans votre tête par une série TV que parce que vous avez été au contact du personnage tel qu'il existe réellement dans les pages des comic books. À l'inverse, il est probable que pour tenter de ne pas rebuter un lectorat potentiel conquis par la télévision, Marvel et certains auteurs aient limité pendant longtemps les prises de risques sur le papier, en dénaturant le moins possible l'image du titan vert véhiculée par le biais du petit écran. L'emprise de la série avec Bill Bixby et Lou Ferrigno n'est plus aussi directe que dans les années 1980, mais elle est pourtant gravée dans l'inconscient collectif, transparaissant dans les films et les séries animées qui lui ont succédé, et une série aussi brillante que Immortal Hulk nous démontre que les auteurs d'aujourd'hui ont pleinement digéré cette influence pour en garder le meilleur. Si le Marvel Cinematic Universe, de L'Incroyable Hulk avec Edward Norton en 2008 à la série She-Hulk de 2022, en passant par Avengers et Thor : Ragnarok, s'est aléatoirement inspiré de façon plus ou moins efficace du Hulk des comics, il est, quoi qu'on en pense, représentatif des multiples visages du personnage. De façon plus globale, que ce soit sur le papier ou à l'écran, il est difficile, voire impossible, de définir clairement un seul et unique Hulk. Bien entendu, ce héros possède des caractéristiques immuables, mais entre le monstre nocturne de Stan Lee et Jack Kirby, évoluant dans le contexte de la Guerre Froide, le conquérant cosmique de Greg Pak, et le scientifique aux tendances schizophrènes héritées des travaux de Peter David et Al Ewing, qui est le véritable Hulk ? Cette approche comportementale du personnage, tantôt idiot du village, tantôt stratège dévastateur de mondes, va de pair avec une évolution de sa représentation graphique par les artistes. Hulk est-il une montagne de muscles en costard de gangster, un gladiateur à la tête d'une insurrection, un scientifique bodybuildé en débardeur, ou une créature reptilienne cauchemardesque qui hante l'esprit de Banner ? Peut-être même que pour quelqu'un, quelque part, le “vrai” Hulk est un tyran vieillissant ou un colosse à la peau bleue porteur d'un pouvoir cosmique… Reflet des angoisses et des obsessions de ses auteurs autant que du monde dans lequel il évolue, Bruce Banner compose depuis plus de soixante ans avec ses multiples alter ego pour son plus grand malheur, certes, mais aussi pour le plus grand plaisir des lecteurs. Chacun cherche son Hulk, et ce n'est pas près de s'arrêter… N'hésitez pas à partager cet article sur les réseaux sociaux s'il vous a plu !

VOLTAR : LA FANTASY PERDUE D'ALFREDO ALCALA

Aiguisez vos lames et sortez vos plus beaux casques à cornes, direction les terres sauvages et envoûtantes de l'Heroic Fantasy avec Voltar par Alfredo Alcala, une saga dans la plus pure tradition Sword & Sorcery du Conan le Barbare de Robert E. Howard ! La France cultive une vision assez nombriliste de l'art séquentiel. Quand on sait à quel point le Manga peut encore être méprisé par une partie des lecteurs et des spécialistes du médium, on imagine sans mal la vision réductrice qui existe vis-à-vis des productions venant de pays où le Neuvième Art est jugé, à tort, moins noble qu'en Europe. La préservation et la diffusion du patrimoine de la bande dessinée me semblent aujourd'hui indispensables pour faire vivre cette culture à l'échelle mondiale, et certains éditeurs réalisent un travail remarquable en la matière. C'est le cas de Neofelis Éditions qui nous propose de découvrir les épisodes de Voltar par Alfredo Alcala, publiés aux États-Unis entre 1977 et 1981. Cette intégrale regroupe le premier épisode de Voltar, paru dans le premier numéro de Magic Carpet, ainsi que les huit épisodes suivants parus dans The Rook chez Warren Publishing. On y suit les aventures du héros éponyme, champion du royaume d'Elysium au service du roi Antiochus, qui va devoir libérer sa contrée des hordes de kobolds du seigneur Magog, dont l'invasion préfigure l'Apocalypse. La quête de Voltar l'emmènera jusqu'aux profondeurs de la Terre, à la recherche d'un sauveur qui pourra libérer Elysium. Dans ce périple semé d'embûches à travers un monde hostile livré à des plaies ancestrales, Voltar va affronter les sombres sicaires de Magog, des cavaliers assassins vêtus de noirs qui ne sont pas sans rappeler les Nazgûls de l'univers de Tolkien, et de nombreuses autres créatures fantastiques. Graphiquement, Alcala, dont le style est ici à mi-chemin entre Frank Frazetta et Gustave Doré, propose des paysages démesurés qui invitent au voyage et à l'aventure. On est aspiré par son univers sombre et farouche, rempli de personnages héroïques et de monstres effrayants, et le grand format de l'album permet de profiter à fond de ses planches éblouissantes ! Cette ambiance de fin de monde, où un messie providentiel doit terrasser le malin et où le destin semble inexorable, fait sans doute écho à l'éducation d'Alfredo Alcala, mais aussi à l'histoire des Philippines. Pays très catholique occupé tour à tour par les Espagnols, les Américains, puis les Japonais, avant de connaître la dictature de Ferdinand Marcos, l'archipel Philippin possède une histoire mouvementée dont résulte un cocktail improbable de principes religieux et de culture pulp qui a sans doute influencé par bien des façons le travail de l'auteur. Cultivant un sens du sacrifice tout ce qu'il y a de plus biblique, le vaillant guerrier d'Alfredo Alcala ne recule devant rien pour accomplir sa mission, dans une démarche jusqu'au-boutiste qui rencontre la Fantasy du Seigneur des Anneaux et les mythes et légendes de l'Antiquité. Né en 1925 aux Philippines, Alfredo P. Alcala publie ses premiers travaux dès 1948. Artiste hétéroclite, il s'essaie autant aux histoires de Science-Fiction qu'à la Romance ou à l'Horreur. En 1963, il crée le personnage de Voltar, qui emprunte de toute évidence à l'œuvre de Robert E. Howard, créateur de Conan le Barbare, Kull le Conquérant et Solomon Kane. Ce héros d'une série de quarante-cinq épisodes ; dont on retrouvera le tout premier publié dans Alcala Fight Comix chez Craf Publishers aux Philippines au sommaire de l'intégrale de Neofelis ; répond aux codes classiques de l'Heroic Fantasy, et plus particulièrement du genre Sword & Sorcery. Comme Conan, Voltar est un valeureux combattant ne comptant que sur sa force et son courage pour affronter les forces du mal. Cependant, si le personnage fait parfois preuve de ruse et se montre impitoyable envers ses ennemis, il n'en reste pas moins fidèle à des principes quasi-chevaleresques et se comporte bien plus en héros modèle que le Cimmérien, beaucoup plus enclin aux beuveries et aux comportements irrespectueux envers les femmes que son homologue philippin…  En 1972, Alfredo Alcala commence à travailler comme dessinateur et comme encreur pour DC Comics, notamment sur des séries horrifiques comme House of Secrets, House of Mysteries ou The Unexpected. Pour le même éditeur, il officie également comme encreur sur la série Swamp Thing entre 1986 et 1990. Outre l'Horreur et ses dérivés, Alcala reste très lié au genre qui à fait sa popularité à l'international : l'Heroic Fantasy. En plus de participer à plusieurs numéros des séries Kull the Destroyer chez Marvel et Arak, Son of Thunder chez DC, il va surtout démontrer ses talents de dessinateur et d'encreur sur un grand nombre d'épisodes de Conan the Barbarian et The Savage Sword of Conan. Une forme de consécration pour celui qui a passé une grande partie de sa carrière philippine à mettre en scène les aventures d'un héros largement inspiré par celui de Howard et par les travaux de ses émules, qui firent les belles heures des pulp's durant la première moitié du vingtième siècle aux États-Unis. Aujourd'hui encore, les comics Conan publiés par Marvel pendant plus de vingt ans, dont les équipes créatives prestigieuses comptent des talents comme Roy Thomas, John Buscema, Earl Norem ou Marie Severin, méritent tout l'intérêt du public. Que ce soit pour le souffle épique des aventures qu'ils présentent ou l'adaptation et le développement de l'univers créé par Robert E. Howard pendant sa courte carrière plusieurs décennies auparavant. Par son travail sur l'une des licences stars des années 1980, Les Maîtres de l'Univers, Alcala marquera aussi l'esprit des plus jeunes en réalisant plusieurs mini-comics promotionnels distribués avec les figurines de la fameuse ligne de jouets de Mattel. Plus exotique encore, il encrera même plusieurs numéros de la série Scooby-Doo de Archie Comics, avant de prendre sa retraite en 1997.Décédé en l'an 2000, Alfredo Alcala aura collaboré avec les plus grands noms de la bande dessinée américaine sur des séries comme Hellblazer ou Kamandi, et son style unique, plusieurs fois récompensé, restera à jamais gravé dans l'histoire des comic books. Grâce à Neofelis Edition, qui nous offre ici un ouvrage à l'envergure patrimoniale essentielle, qui condense tout le pouvoir de la bande dessinée, l'œuvre d'Alfredo Alcala vit et pourra, je l'espère, toucher une nouvelle génération de lecteurs. Enfin, on ne peut qu'adresser un grand bravo à Tristan Lapoussiere pour son travail de recherche et de restauration, avec l'aide du fils d'Alfredo Alcala. La préface et la galerie de couvertures sont richement documentées et permettent d'en apprendre plus sur l'artiste et sur le contexte de publication de ses productions aux Philippines. Évidemment, si vous voulez en savoir plus sur cette intégrale Voltar, je vous conseille d'aller faire un tour sur le site de Neofelis pour soutenir leur démarche ! N'hésitez pas à partager cet article sur les réseaux sociaux s'il vous a plu !

Capes On the Couch - Where Comics Get Counseling

Intro Welcome to Season 7 Having a baby girl in May :)  Pocus Hocus giveaway coming soon on IG Episode 150 coming soon Background Jessica Drew created by Archie Goodwin and Marie Severin in Marvel Spotlight #32 (Feb. 1977) In her first appearance, she was a spider who evolved into a human That was later retconned - her origin is when she was young, she became sick, and her father injected her with an experimental dose of irradiated spider's blood, and put her in a chamber to incubate, but while she was in there her mother died and her father left - she spent decades in the chamber, but came out only aged to 17 #BecauseComics THAT origin was then altered - her mother was hit with a beam of radiation with the DNA of several varieties of spiders, and her parents were actually working with/for HYDRA as scientists She leaves Wundagore and is captured by HYDRA, who train her as a spy to assassinate Nick Fury - she accidentally kills her handler, at which point she discovers the truth and defects, becoming a SHIELD agent (also revealing that the “evolved spider” was part of HYDRA's brainwashing) Works as a private investigator while simultaneously being Spider-Woman Joins the New Avengers and helps the heroes recapture all the villains that escaped the Raft - later revealed that this was actually Skrull Queen Veranke in disguise, which led to the Secret Invasion Abigail Brand invites her to join SWORD and kill hostile aliens on Earth Played a major part in Spider-Verse After that, she quit the Avengers and began focusing on small-time help, using Ben Urich and Roger Gocking, the reformed Porcupine, as aides Recently gave birth, using artificial insemination from an anonymous donor - her son Gerry inherited her powers Issues (11:32) From Ruby - reluctance in trusting others Constantly having to reassure people she's not Vernake (17:05) Earlier in career, dealing with distance & uncertainty around people because of her lack of familiarity with them (22:40) Break (28:50) Plugs for BetterHelp, Nerd Crusade, and Howard Mackie Treatment (30:20) In-universe - Focus on genetics, including passing it along to Gerry Out of universe - Focus on trauma - similar to Dr. Scarlet (guest on our Black Widow episode) (34:04) Skit (feat. Jessica from Girls Talk Comics) (41:35) Doc: Hello Jessica, I'm Dr. Issues. Jessica: *sarcastically joking/tongue in cheek* What's up, Doc? D: Hardy har har, never heard that one before. J: Sorry, had to get that out. D: Understood. Bad jokes are hard to let go. So, what can I help you untangle in your psyche? J:Touche. I *yawn* sorry, Gerry-my son-kept me up last night, and I'm trying my hardest to get my 3 functioning neurons to cooperate. Do you have any kids? D: Sure do. I remember those nights. Never enough coffee. J: If I could walk around with a permanent IV drip of espresso, it wouldn't be enough some days. Why do we do this to ourselves? D: It's biologically driven, because kids are cute meat blobs that would die without us. J: Yeah, they are adorable little parasites, aren't they? Sucking the life and the soul out of you all the time, and yet one smile or laugh and they give it all back. D: *laughs* Before this gets too dark, we really should talk about how caring for a child is affecting you. J: Me personally or the superheroing? D: Well…whichever one makes you the most distressed? I can guess though, because most people feel like they only should focus on the personal side and tend to throw any other part of their life to the wayside…not that I agree with that, but that's the tendency I've observed. J: I dunno… I guess the super stuff stresses me out more, at least as it relates to him. Because it seems like it's less natural to me than being a mom, even though I never fully envisioned myself as either… if that makes any kinda sense, I realize this is the caffeinated ramblings of an exhausted parent, but I'm really trying my best not to fall over here. D: Mommy brain (and daddy brain, for that matter) are a real thing. You're making sense.  J: OK good. It's just… I wasn't really *raised*, per se, I was incubated. Relating to people never came easy for me. Certainly didn't have any great parental figures to speak of, unless you count Bova, and I don't know any normal people who were raised by a humanoid cow. So when I decided to have Gerry, it was like finishing a puzzle where I didn't realize I was missing any pieces. Every day with him has been a joy. D: Then let's say you're doing the best job you can with him. What's the problem with being a superhero? *pause* That's a moronic thing to ask, huh? J: Not the dumbest question I've heard today. My… partner had a complete misunderstanding about feeding Gerry today, and I had to explain that infants are not supposed to eat Lindor truffles. Anyway, to your point… it's more about the fact that I've had these powers and skillset for a long time, and I still don't entirely feel comfortable with them. Having a kid on top of it… it feels like an uncomfortable suit that I can't take off. And if you crack a joke about my costume, I'll zap you so hard you'll wake up next week. D: I have no intentions of agitating you. The random mix of events that led you to your current life are not something to mock. Let me say from the start that there's no such thing as getting it all exactly right. Do you have any resentment about your status? I've met plenty of people that wish for things to be different. J: Oh I got past the resentment part ages ago. Yeah, it ate me up for a long time, and yes I took it out on some people that probably didn't deserve it. But then I wouldn't be where I am, and I probably wouldn't have Gerry. So in that respect it works out. The thing that gets me is more about… feeling this, pull, obligation, whatever you wanna call it, towards the hero thing. It's like, I'm doing the mom thing, but then I need to get out because if I don't leave the house someone is going to get hurt, likely Roger, so I get some fresh air. While I'm taking my break, someone inevitably needs help, because everyone in New York City is incapable of going more than a week without being attacked by some souped-up genetic mistake, so then I have to swoop in and save their sorry ass, because otherwise word will get out that Spider-Woman just happened to be there and didn't lift a damn finger, and that gives Jameson more fuel for his anti-spider editorials, which is gonna send Parker into a tizzy, and I don't need that agita, so it's easier just to save them and move on. D: That…sounds like there maaaaaay be a little bit of left over resentment there…just sayin. Not blaming you, but wow is that an emotional bag to carry. J: Chalk it up to exhaustion. When you get this tired, anything's liable to come outta my mouth. But I guess I wasn't as adjusted about this as I thought. Hmph. D: That's OK, at least you're aware of it now. I'm a pretty good sounding board. Feel free to blast away…um, not literally. A bit of disclosure here, but I have a similar style to how I deal with exhaustion. No filter. But, that makes me worry, when do you recharge, and how? Can't when you're crimefighting, can't be when you're taking care of Gerry, so… J: Carol has been clutch when I need a breather, and especially if we're out and something goes down, she's waaaaay better equipped to handle stuff than I am. So I sit back and let her wail away on the dude, and then we go on our merry way.  D: Nice delegation. I like it. I need to do more of that myself. Thanks for the reminder. So, what's your ideal balance? Brainstorm it. No idea is too crazy. J: Hoo boy, that's asking a lot for the already exhausted hamster upstairs, but I'll kick him in the ass and see what I can come up with. Umm… *phone vibrates* Dammit, hold on a sec, it's Roger. I told him only to message me if it's an emergency, and… *pause* Alright, I gotta go. D: Everything OK? J: If by “OK” you mean “my kid sparked an electrical fire that burnt a hole through the kitchen wall and spread to my neighbor's place”, then yeah, it's peachy keen. Sorry Doc, we'll pick this up again next time. And maybe then I'll bring a few extra neurons to make it an even half dozen, and we can have a real conversation.

Today’s episode is an epic lovefest for two of the greatest science fantasy magazines ever published: Epic Illustrated and Heavy Metal. Like an entire generation of readers, Dwight and Swain became huge fans of Epic and ‘Métal Hurlant’ back in the mid 80s. The most revered science fiction, fantasy and comic book storytellers of all time were featured in their hallowed pages: Moebius, Michael Moorcock, Jim Starlin, Wendy Pini, Boris Vallejo, Luis Royo, Jon J. Muth, Richard Corben, Jo Duffy, Enki Bilal, Marie Severin, Jeffrey Catherine Jones, H.R. Giger, Simon Bisley, Pepe Moreno, Harlan Ellison, the Hildebrandt Brothers and many, many more.In the conversation, Dwight and Swain give their first impressions of the magazines, namecheck their favorite artists from that era, and of course, discuss the 1981 ‘Heavy Metal’ movie as well as a one-time rumored David Fincher/James Cameron produced sequel.The hosts of Sidebar Forever are of the opinion that Epic Illustrated and Heavy Metal closed the gap between amazing book cover paintings and amazing comic book art. They were tastemakers and showed the world what great fantasy stories could, and should be. By the way, four decades later, Heavy Metal magazine is still being published. As always, thanks for listening to the podcast.

Mike and Derek are back at Heroes Aren't Hard to Findin Charlotte, NC, for their December show. It's been a couple of months since their last visit to the shop -- this past fall was difficult for everyone -- but the guys are excited to sit down among customers and talk comics. And this being the end of 2018, they thought they'd discuss the year in review, the highlights, the news, and the notable titles that defined 2018. Among other topics, they cover the unfortunate passing of several comics legends over the past year, including Steve Ditko, Stan Lee, and Marie Severin. (They mistakenly bring up Bernie Wrightson, as well, although he died last year.) They also spend time talking about 2018 being the year that the imprints Black Crownand Berger Booksreally took off, the 1000th issue of Action Comics, the impact of Tom Kingthis year, Grant Morrison's new work on Green Lantern, and the past year in terms of the Marvel cinematic (and Netflix) universe. While Mike is free to share some of his favorite titles from the past twelve months, Derek is a little reticent because he doesn't want to give away what he'll discuss on next week's year-end episode where he and Stergios reveal what each considers their favorites of 2018.

Thraxon, Thraxoff Hello, and welcome to episode 267 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. This week, we're jumping into a nest of continuity errors as we join the definitely-an-ongoing-concern that is the Fantastic Four for their 12th annual. The Inhumans are in trouble, having come under attack from both Thraxon and the Sphinx, and only Crystal, Lockjaw, and the Fantastic Four can save them from the plots of this immortal super-villain (and his lackey). Joining us for this episode is podcaster Mark Adams. Mark is the host of the Marksmess series of podcastsm including Marksmess vs The Evolutionary War, Marksmess vs Atlantis Attacks, and The Marksmess Podcast, as well as the World War I podcast looking at the letters of his grandfather, John Adams: Letters From The Front. Mark joins us to examine this giant-size comic from Marv Wolfman, Bob Hall, Keith Pollard, Bob Wiacek, and Marie Severin. Along the way, we create the 'Ben's Finger' test, encounter Anabelle and her Singing Appendix Scar, discover that we don't know how to pronounce 'Wiacek', and discover that Steve is a Formula One Expert (TM).

Learn the alphabet with the Dynamic Duo, as Chris recites the pulse-pounding text by Ruthanna Thomas, and describes the art by comics veteran Tom Gill! You can practically hear the Neal Hefti theme! Oh wait…you can! Then it's off to The Super Dictionary from 1978. This strange DC Comics experiment has some very…interesting illustrations and text used to define some rather innocuous words. You have to see it (or hear about it!) to believe it. We wrap things up with two beautiful Marvel Books from 1984, each written by David Anthony Kraft, with gorgeous art by Marie Severin and Earl Norem; The Amazing Spider-Man: The Big Top Mystery and Fantastic Four: The Island of Danger! Download via iTunes. Be sure to let us know what you think! Let your voice be heard! We'd love to read it aloud in an upcoming episode. Drop us a line in our comments section, or email us at supermatespodcast@gmail.com. If you're listening on iTunes, please consider leaving a review of our show! We're also on Facebook! Chris (aka Earth 2 Chris) co-hosts the Power Records Podcast with the esteemed Rob Kelly over at the Fire and Water Podcast feed!

Face Front, True Believers! This week #Frank'sAgenda is in full flower as we revisit Marvel Comics' 1972 stab at drafting a feminist super-heroine, The Cat! First Illegal Machine & Frank dissect the debut issue, then Mr. Fixit & Frank dive into #2 (32:00,) with the Diabolical One ranting a bit about #3-4. Stan Lee and Marie Severin get the creation credit, while Linda Fite writes (with editor Roy Thomas,) and there's fill-ins galore throughout the brief experiment. We finally reopen the mighty Marvel mail bag (44:58,) with Fixit & the Ill Mac taking the fore 'fer once! Frank probably would have preferred if things had turned out more P.C., but the show is entertaining, which is the paramount concern. Note: We like our language NSFW salty, and there be spoilers!
