Podcast appearances and mentions of Mort Weisinger

No pocas veces se ha hablado de ciclos y periodos en el cómic USA, desde las edades del cómic, los ciclos de 15 años de Mort Weisinger o los de 20 de Mark Millar. Sin embargo, con el cambio de siglo todo eso parece haberse parado en seco. Que llevamos unos cuantos años de inmovilismo en el cómic de superhéroes, que, si cabe, se ha acentuado en los últimos años. En un mundo que cada vez cambia más rápido, no deja de ser curioso que el mundo del pijameo estemos en un periodo de congelación, casi de resistencia al cambio, y no sería raro sospechar que no es casual. Para divagar sobre las causas de esto, efectos y tripas que se nos van rompiendo por el camino, le dedicamos un hueco a todo esto en el popurrí de hoy, en el que también tendremos espacio para una buena ronda de recomendaciones. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad.

Green Arrow is a superhero who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Mort Weisinger and designed by George Papp, he first appeared in More Fun Comics #73 on September 19, 1941 (Coved Dated November 1941), the same issue that debuted Aquaman. His real name is Oliver Jonas Queen, a wealthy businessman, owner of Queen Industries, and a well-known celebrity in Star City. He uses this position to hide the fact that he is the Green Arrow. Partly inspired by Robin Hood, Green Arrow is an archer who uses his skills to fight crime in his home cities of Star City and Seattle, as well as alongside his fellow superheroes as a member of the Justice League. The world's greatest archer, as well as a competent swordsman and martial artist, Green Arrow deploys a range of trick arrows (in contemporary times, they are referred as "specialty arrows") with various special functions, such as glue, explosive-tipped, grappling hook, flash grenade, tear gas and even kryptonite arrows for use in a range of special situations. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rangerryan/message

To tie in with the recent release of Aquaman & the Lost Kingdom, we take a look at the man himself, Arthur Curry! We have a whale of a time with this one, and we'll cod to making more than a few fish jokes just for the halibut...  Issue 186 - Aquaman Intro Shoutout to Into the Knight, who got a thank you from Jed McKay in the last page of Moon Knight #30 Background (4:29) Aquaman (Arthur Curry) created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger in More Fun Comics #73 (Nov. 1941) Golden Age origin is he is the son of a scientist who lived in the ocean and taught him how to breathe underwater and communicate with & control undersea life Silver Age origin: Arthur Curry, son of Tom Curry & Atlanna, and because of his mixed heritage he has access to several Atlantean abilities, including how to breathe underwater and communicate with & control undersea life This version introduces most of his supporting cast: wife Mera, son Arthur Jr., aka AJ or Aquababy, half-brother & nemesis Ocean Master, Black Manta, and others Post-Crisis origin: Orin, son of Queen Atlanna & the wizard Atlan, he was abandoned by Atlantis and discovered by Tom Curry who eventually dies when he's a teen, and he returns to Atlantis where he is imprisoned before breaking out and joining the Justice League, where he uses his abilities like how to breathe underwater and communicate with & control undersea life This is the version that loses his hand after it's eaten by piranhas He is the leader of Sub Diego, an undersea version of San Diego He becomes the Dweller of the Depths to assist the new Aquaman, Arthur Joseph Curry, before dying and later resurrected during Blackest Night/Brightest Day New 52 - Once again the son of Tom Curry & Atlanna, he was raised on land but aware of Atlantis, and when he returns to the sea he is crowned King, but he abdicates to be with Mera and join the Justice League until he's forced to return to rule over Atlantis despite half the population hating him He finally proposes to Mera at the start of DC Rebirth Issues - Theme is fish out of water, then in, then out, then in… (10:34) Reluctant ruler of Atlantis - numerous time he returns to the throne in times of trouble, only to either vacate willingly to help Justice League/other heroes, or be forced to abdicate due to various factors Walks two worlds, but not fully accepted in either (15:36) Loss of a son - created strain on him and Mera (31:47) Break (42:02) Plugs for Last Sons of Krypton & SNEScapades Treatment (43:50) In-universe - Build a safe space for Aquaman Out of universe - (46:56) Skit (53:35) Hello Aquaman, I'm Dr. Issues. Would you prefer…um Arthur? Orin? Your chart has some conflicting information, and my electronic health record merges files quite haphazardly. - Doctor, you can just stick to Aquaman for now then. Most land acquaintances do. Do they now? Ok. So, what can I do for you? -I'm in a state of flux. I'm trying to keep on course. The problem is, I don't have a map. Are you speaking metaphorically, or is this some sort of buried treasure -*snapping* I don't make puns and I need you to take this seriously. *gulp* My apologies. So, how did you get so lost? -I'm not sure. I have a lot of people counting on me, but when they all ask for help at once they're like crabs in a barrel. They're too quick to lionize me as their savior, and too quick to denigrate me as a fake.  I'll admit, that sounds like injustice, and I don't mean that from a dramatic perspective. The world hasn't always been fair to you, has it? -Maybe not, but I can't complain too much. There's no breathing room. *clears throat* pardon, but I need to drink some water. Sure, go right *sound of a tidal wave or something* …ahead. Um, did you have to soak the whole couch? -My kingdom is good for it. You don't mind barnacles, right?  Barnacles, no, but the jellyfish - *ignores* Anyway, my kingdom…*sigh* it's not always my kingdom. Sometimes I want to swim away and never see any of them again. But I won't abandon my family.  Priorities. Got it. You sound like you have a lot of triggers that could exacerbate anxiety and/or depression. Have you experienced any of those symptoms? -Well I'm not the one with the degree, but if you're referencing eternal sadness, sleepless nights, the sense of dread that your society will be wiped out, and those who know of you before you know them are willing to kill everyone you love for the sake of power so you let your own sense of pride burst forth into a fit of rage that only the mightiest of beings can come CLOSE to matching *clearly exasperated but trying to calm down* perhaps…I have. I won't snap to judgment on diagnosis, but you don't need any labels. Sounds like you've had stuff going on for a looooong time. What led you to come to me now? -I'm not sure.  You've said that more than once. -And I've meant it every time. This is the only place I can use a phrase like that and not die.  Mostly right, sometimes wrong, but never in doubt. A real Type A mindset. -If that makes the most sense to you, then yes. I'm a buffer zone. That can work, but ultimately you're going to have to find a way to recreate that in other environments. -Tricky to do when the natural state of those environments are hostile. Are they really, though? I'm not saying you're wrong, just challenging the assumption. - There's a not-insignificant portion of my kingdom who believes I was cursed the moment I was born. There's also a large segment who wishes I would vacate the throne and never return. Not surprisingly, those two segments share a healthy overlap. So when the very people I aim to lead don't want me in the leadership role, I think it's fair to say it's a hostile environment. And that's ignoring the numerous attempts on my life, the never-ending struggle with my half-brother, the various threats from the surface world… Then you need a huge amount of resiliency, and that doesn't get built in a vacuum. You mentioned family as your number one priority. Are they integrated into how you process your life, or are they delicate figures you keep sheltered in your mind so you don't lose them? -I would never refer to them as delicate or sheltered. But I don't make my personal life a spectacle either. Mera is everything to me…sometimes the only thing. It's okay to want more than that. -I don't need more. I specifically didn't say need. I said want. Aspirations that are your own, even in the midst of external values. -That is such a land dweller thing to say. I confess my biases, yes. But I'm acknowledging your culture as well. I'll have to learn on the fly how to blend your understanding of how the world works with my own. I embrace that challenge. -*pause* How far are you willing to go? I don't know…that's really vague, and I know that type of question is leading to some discomfort -*boldly* NO whining! You may be granted a privilege that will change your life, If you are a brave soul. See, I'm a coward, so -*dismissive* Nonsense! You just need some basic skills. Can you swim? Yes. -Can you hold your breath for at least 2 minutes? What? I don't know…probably? But if you're alluding to what I think you are, I don't think my freediving skills are up to par. -We're not simpletons. We have equipment; you need to be fit enough for the transition. And this benefits YOU in what way. -If I can show you just how unique our ways are, then you would be able to not only assist me, but also those who question my position. Expand your practice. Can you give me some time to mull this over? I'm not used to someone actually getting so gung ho about my sessions. -I won't wait forever. If you need to seek council from those who would put your mind at ease, then I understand. You will hear from me shortly. Ending (59:57) Recommended reading: Peter David run, with focus on Time & Tide and the Atlantis Chronicles Next episodes: Echo, Speedball, Deathstroke Plugs for social & GonnaGeek Network Anthony: That will do it for this episode. Doc? Doc: *text message sound* Hold on…it's Aquaman? Huh…'thanks for the introductory session. I know I told you I would contact you shortly, but I am so excited that I did a search on therapy techniques. I think you'll understand my world better if you engage in flooding. This is NOT a request.”  What the hell does that mean? I just go to the beach or the aquarium and *water rushing/waves crashing* *gurgling* I guess I should try to keep my head above water for now Anthony: He didn't have to be so dramatic. For a drowning Dr. Issues, I'm Anthony Sytko, and we'll see you next time!

Hey everyone, the sequel to the 2018 $1B-dollar grossing Aquaman has now released and apparently, it is the final film of the DCEU and the current era of DC films... before James Gunn's DCU kicks off with Max's Creature Commandos in 2024. The first film in the DCU will be Gunn's Superman: Legacy. Getting back to Aquaman, I highly enjoyed the first movie and have really dug the trailers for this sequel but the rumors of extensive plot reworking and poor test screenings over the past two years have had me concerned. So, does James Wan deliver yet another over the top, bombastic blockbuster or does the DCEU end on a ginormous fizzle? Find out in this NON-SPOILER review. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom: Directed by: James Wan Screenplay by: David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick Story by: James Wan & David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and Jason Momoa & Thomas Pa'a Sibbett Aquaman created by: Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris Produced by: Rob Cowan, Peter Safran, James Wan Executive Producers: Michael Clear, Walter Hamada, Galen Vaisman Music by: Rupert Gregson-Williams Cinematography by: Don Burgess Editing by: Kirk M. Morri Casting by: Anna McCarthy, Kellie Roy, Lucinda Syson Production Design by: Bill Brzeski, Sahby Mehalla Costume Design by: Richard Sale Cast: Jason Momoa, Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Nicole Kidman Synopsis: Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father's death and wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. To defeat him, Aquaman must turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance in order to save the world from irreversible destruction.

Si je vous demande de penser à un super-héros de chez DC Comics, il y a fort à parier que Batman, Superman ou Wonder Woman vous viendront à l'esprit avant Green Arrow. Aujourd'hui, on parle justement des aventures de Green Arrow par Jack Kirby, qui n'ont pas du tout plu à DC Comics ! La période séparant l'Âge d'Or de la bande dessinée américaine de l'Âge d'Argent est aussi riche que troublée. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les ventes des titres mettant en scène super-héros et super-héroïnes déclinent aux États-Unis. Les justiciers costumés n'ont plus la côte, et le genre super-héroïque, jusqu'alors prédominant, est peu à peu remplacé par d'autres. La romance, l'horreur, le western et la science-fiction évincent les ersatz de Superman et de Batman des kiosques à journaux, tandis que leurs modèles peinent à garder la tête hors de l'eau, et que les artistes doivent s'adapter pour continuer à gagner leur croûte. Dès 1947, Joe Simon et Jack Kirby, déjà derrière la création de Captain America, avaient pressenti la transmutation du marché avec leur titre Young Romance, présentant des aventures sentimentales prétendues réelles, participant grandement à l'évolution des tendances. Mais s'estimant de plus en plus spoliés par les éditeurs, Simon et Kirby décident de lancer leur propre maison d'édition, Mainline Comics, en 1953. Au programme : quatre titres surfant chacun sur un grand courant de l'époque. Malheureusement pour eux, ils ont assurément choisi le pire moment possible pour initier leur projet. À partir de 1950, l'éditeur EC Comics, avec à sa tête Bill Gaines, s'est engagé dans une surenchère d'horreur gore et de violence morbide pour attirer les jeunes lecteurs en manque de sensations fortes, appâtés par des couvertures toujours plus choquantes. Généralement accolées à un discours politique et social, certes implicite, mais extrêmement critique envers la fameuse “American way of life”, les histoires de EC Comics deviennent pour certains et certaines l'incarnation du danger représenté par la bande dessinée, qui pervertirait la jeunesse en la poussant au crime. La panique morale autour des comics de crimes et d'horreur, entretenue par des figures publiques comme le politicien Estes Kefauver et le psychiatre Fredric Wertham, devenu célèbre chez les fans de super-héros pour son livre Seduction of the Innocent, mènera à la création du Comics Code Authority, et surtout à une crise éditoriale majeure, qui verra disparaître près des deux tiers des bandes dessinées publiées à l'époque. Et qui dit moins de comics commercialisés dit moins de travail pour les imprimeurs et les distributeurs. Ce marché fragilisé, dont les différents acteurs font faillite les uns après les autres, couplé à des soucis juridiques avec leur précédent employeur, Crestwood Publications, forcera Jack Kirby et Joe Simon à baisser le rideau de Mainline en 1956, avec seulement quelques publications concrètes au compteur. Cet échec aura épuisé les deux artistes sur tous les plans et émoussé leur longue et solide collaboration. Tandis que Joe Simon décide de quitter le monde du neuvième art pour celui de la publicité et de la presse magazine, Jack Kirby rejoint les rangs de National Comics, qui deviendra DC Comics, avec une toute nouvelle série de science-fiction : Challengers of the Unknown. Une série souvent attribuée au seul génie de Kirby, mais sans doute nourrie de ses derniers échanges avec Joe Simon, et également des idées du scénariste Dave Wood, l'un des créateurs de Animal Man. 1956 est une année charnière pour le genre super-héroïque, la banqueroute de Mainline coïncidant fortuitement avec le retour des héros costumés sur le devant de la scène, en partie à l'initiative de DC Comics. Dans le quatrième numéro du périodique Showcase, l'éditeur présente une nouvelle version de son bolide écarlate, The Flash. Le succès est au rendez-vous, et si le retour en grâce des surhommes costumés va prendre encore quelques années, DC va amorcer un rafraîchissement créatif et éditorial de plusieurs de ses super-héros, dont bon nombre sont cantonnés à des anthologies comme World's Finest, Adventure Comics ou More Fun Comics, faute d'intérêt du lectorat. C'est notamment le cas de Green Arrow, présent à la fois au sommaire de World's Finest Comics depuis 1941 et de Adventure Comics depuis 1946. Il faut dire que le personnage, loin d'avoir rencontré le succès d'un Batman ou d'un Superman, n'a jamais eu droit à une publication à son nom, et a moins souvent l'honneur d'être représenté en couverture. Créé en 1941 par le scénariste Mort Weisinger et le dessinateur George Papp dans les pages de More Fun Comics #73, ce héros à gadget, expert en archerie, s'inspire à la fois de Batman, de Robin des Bois et du serial The Green Archer, diffusé dans les cinémas américain à partir de 1940. C'est dans More Fun Comics #89, publié en 1943, que les origines de Green Arrow et de son sidekick adolescent Speedy nous sont racontées pour la première fois. Oliver Queen, collectionneur d'armes et d'objets des peuples natifs américains, rencontre Roy Harper, un jeune orphelin élevé par une tribu amérindienne isolée après un crash d'avion dont il est le seul survivant. Après avoir déjoué les plans de pilleurs d'antiquités, nos deux héros, tous deux archers accomplis, décident de faire équipe pour combattre le crime, finançant leur croisade avec l'or d'un trésor qu'ils ont découvert dans la réserve indienne. Une origin story qui n'a pas grand-chose à voir avec celle que nous connaissons actuellement, mais on va y revenir. En 1946, le personnage et son acolyte sont transférés de More Fun Comics à Adventure Comics, où son co-créateur George Papp dessinera pendant de nombreuses années ses aventures, accompagné du scénariste Ed Herron, notamment considéré comme le créateur de Red Skull dans les pages de Captain America. Seulement, en 1958, quand George Papp succède à John Sikela au dessin sur Superboy, Green Arrow se trouve dépourvu de dessinateur attitré. L'éditeur Jack Schiff, connaissant les capacités de productions de Jack Kirby sur Challengers of the Unknown, lui propose de reprendre le titre. Kirby n'a alors jamais lu une seule aventure de Green Arrow, mais il a besoin d'argent, alors il accepte et lit quelques épisodes fournis par Schiff pour se faire une idée. Peu convaincu par les illustrés en question, Jack Kirby se dit qu'il pourra quand même faire quelque chose du personnage, pour peu qu'on lui laisse un peu de liberté. Et si cela va s'avérer beaucoup plus difficile qu'il le croit, l'artiste va quand même donner un sacré coup de jeune à Oliver Queen. La première histoire de Green Arrow dessinée par Kirby paraît dans Adventure Comics #250, durant l'été 1958. Écrite par Bill Finger, le co-créateur de Batman, “The Green Arrows of the World” nous permet de découvrir que l'archer vert n'est pas le seul justicier à utiliser un arc et des flèches, bien au contraire. Ayant fait des émules partout sur la planète, Oliver Queen reçoit la visite de différents homologues venus du Japon, de France, ou encore du Mexique. Il y a là un recyclage évident d'une thématique déjà exploitée par Batman quelques années plus tôt, notamment avec l'épisode intitulé “Batmen of All-Nations”, publié en 1955. C'est à partir du numéro suivant, avec “The Case of the Super-Arrows”, que la patte de Jack Kirby commence réellement à se faire sentir. Flèche Verte et Speedy s'y aventurent sur un territoire jusqu'alors rarement exploré au cours de leurs péripéties, celui de la science-fiction. Durant onze épisodes ; écrits alternativement par Ed Herron et Dave Wood, et largement enrichis par les idées de Jack Kirby ; le personnage de Green Arrow s'éloigne peu à peu de l'univers dans lequel il macère depuis sa création pour explorer d'autres mondes et d'autres dimensions, comme dans l'histoire “Prisoners of Dimension Zero”, dont la publication en deux parties est plutôt avant-gardiste pour l'époque. Avec “Green Arrow's First Case”, dans Adventure Comics #256, Jack Kirby et Ed Herron revisitent les origines du super-héros de Star City, oubliant son côté Robin des Bois et son rapport plus que discutable aux natifs américains pour en faire une sorte de Robinson. Désormais, le playboy milliardaire Oliver Queen est devenu Green Arrow après être tombé par-dessus bord lors d'un voyage dans les mers du Sud. Parvenant à atteindre Starfish Island, un îlot vierge et hostile, Oliver y survit en recyclant ses anciens vêtements pour se confectionner un équipement et devient un excellent archer à force d'entraînement. Il utilise alors la végétation pour se fabriquer une nouvelle tenue, ce qui permet de justifier la couleur verte de son accoutrement de vigilant masqué une fois revenu à la civilisation. Il y a quelque chose de particulièrement symbolique dans cette nouvelle origin story, où un jeune occidental fortuné quitte son costume pour renouer avec la nature et repartir à zéro autant humainement que socialement. Certes, la recette n'est pas des plus surprenantes, mais ça sonne toujours mieux que de s'enrichir en volant le patrimoine amérindien, si bien que cette version restera la base de toutes les réécritures suivantes, jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Contrairement à ce à quoi on pourrait s'attendre, les responsables éditoriaux de DC Comics ; Mort Weisinger, le co-créateur de Green Arrow, en tête ; n'apprécient pas du tout l'approche de Jack Kirby. Pour eux, le personnage n'a rien à faire dans des récits de science-fiction et, pour d'obscures raisons, ils préfèrent visiblement conserver son statut de "sous-Batman avec un arc". Kirby se fâche finalement avec Jack Schiff, pour une sombre histoire autour du strip Sky Masters, publié dans la presse, et c'est Lee Elias, connu pour ses provocantes couvertures gores chez Harvey, qui le remplace pour dessiner Green Arrow. Jack Kirby retourne chez Atlas, qui prendra très bientôt le nom de Marvel Comics, et ne remettra plus les pieds chez DC Comics avant 1970, pour développer son Quatrième Monde dans des séries comme Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen, New Gods, ou Mister Miracle, y réutilisant notamment des concepts esquissés dans ses épisodes de Green Arrow. À partir de 1961, avec Stan Lee et Steve Ditko, Kirby va œuvrer à la création de pratiquement toutes les figures majeures de l'univers Marvel, qui continuent de nos jours à vivre moult aventures sur le papier et remplissent les salles de cinéma de blockbuster en blockbuster, depuis plus de deux décennies. L'artiste s'en donnera à cœur joie dans les pages des Fantastic Four ; sorte d'évolution super-héroïque des Challengers de l'Inconnu ; ou de Thor, dans lesquelles la célèbre "Méthode Marvel" de Stan Lee lui laissera une très grande autonomie créative. Que seraient devenus Green Arrow et l'univers DC à l'orée du Silver Age si le Roi des Comics était resté chez l'éditeur ? Se souviendrait-on d'Oliver Queen autrement que comme d'un second couteau utilisant des flèches-gadgets un brin kitsch ? Malgré les travaux de Neal Adams et Dennis O'Neil, de Mike Grell, Phil Hester, Kevin Smith, Jock, ou Jeff Lemire, et la longévité non négligeable de la série télévisée Arrow de la CW, l'archer vert reste, encore de nos jours, loin derrière la sainte trinité de DC comics en termes de renommée et d'impact sur la culture populaire. Pourtant, découvrir, ou redécouvrir, les aventures de Green Arrow, c'est aussi traverser les différentes périodes de l'histoire des comic books et en appréhender les tentatives et les tendances sous un autre jour.
