I usually try to put something witty or informative here. But this week, Patreon backer Matt McThorn is back, and he asked us to read Neal Adams's mad dream, Batman: Odyssey. He didn't know what he was getting himself or us into, so we have forgiven him, but this one feels like an all-timer. We also read two Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams stories from the 70s, as well as a classic EC Comics story that we don't rank since it's not a Batman story, but ties in with what we're talking about, and you can read it on-line HERE: https://from-dusk-till-drawn.com/2016/05/02/master-race-by-bernie-krigstein-usa-1955/. It ties in with Night of the Reaper, so if you haven't read that and a reading along, I would suggest reading that before reading this story. But aside from that homework, get ready for dinosaurs, the hollow Earth, stream of consciousness and Jazz wizards. A Vow From the Grave (Detective Comics V.1 #410) Night of the Reaper (Batman V.1 #237) Batman: Odyssey (Batman: Odyssey V.1 #1-6, V.2 #1-7) Check out our current ranking list at www.comicsxf.com/batchat-rankings/ Thanks to Geri Nonnewitz for our podcast logo Follow the show on Twitter @BatChatComics and support the show on Patreon at www.patreon.com/batchatwithmattandwill

Dwayne Epstein is the author of the N.Y. Times bestselling biography, “Lee Marvin: Point Blank,” which was also a finalist in ForeWord magazine Book of the Year competitions. He is the author of the current Amazon bestseller "Killin Generals: The Making of The Dirty Dozen", The Most Iconic World War II Film of All Time.” "Killin Generals" delves into the behind-the-scenes journey of creating "The Dirty Dozen" which became a groundbreaking film due to its unconventional approach to the genre, blending dark humor with action-packed drama. The book and this interview, my second with Epstein, provides an in-depth exploration of the casting process, highlighting the unique selection of actors, including Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, and Jim Brown, who would come to define the film's success. Epstein tells us about the challenges faced during production, such as the film's anti-authoritarian themes. "Killin Generals" offers a comprehensive look at how the filmmakers and cast transformed a gritty, unorthodox script into a cinematic phenomenon that would influence generations of action films to come.

Comic book historian Arlen Schumer is back to talk about Neal Adams—and insights that you won't find anywhere else. Check out the show and find out why! Fantastic Comic Fan Podcast Website  

20 years ago, I had my first conversation with the legendaru artist. DC in the 70s, Superman Vs Ali, Batman Deadman and so much more 

This week on the pod, we're taking a stroll down memory lane to revisit the early days of the show. We reflect on some of the greatest gifts we've received as hosts—ranging from original artwork and swag, to unforgettable moments on the mic and memorable experiences with guests and listeners. Dwight remembers meeting and interviewing the late, great Bernie Wrightson, Adrian recalls gifts he received from comic artist Ho Che Anderson, and Swain reminisces about a conversation with one of his artistic heroes, Neal Adams, at the end of a long convention weekend. As our first episode of the year and in the twilight of the holidays, it feels like the perfect time to reflect on all the meaningful moments we've had. We hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday season, and we're excited for what's to come in the new year! And hey, you can find all 339 episodes from our previous incarnation (SiDEBAR - The Art and Comics Podcast) available at archive.org. They have been graciously curated by our friend Christopher Hatfield. (Our eternal thanks, Chris!) And as always, thanks for listening.

The Year? 2025. Which is when Stephen King's novel The Running Man (published as written by Richard Bachman.) is set. People aren't currently being hunted for television, but we're only three days into this crapfest, so “there's still time”? This time out, Dave Sim and A Moment of Cerebus's Manly Matt Dow discuss: Dave remembers Cerebus fan Jeff Seiler which leads to Dave announcing Aardvark-Vanaheim's plans for 2025, first up (if Donald Trump doesn't crap all over Canada,) CAN11 and Narutobus on the Kickstarter! Did You Know?: Dave was in discussions to license/sell Cerebus to DC Comics in 1985. Dave reads the thirty-nine year old proposal (spoilers: he turned down $100,000. Then he self-distributed the collected High Society and made $150,000 a year later.) Now it CAN be told! DAVE screwed up your bookshelf... Cerebus continuity Matt's Steamboat Willie/Blade Runner mash-up (prints are coming soon?) Neal Adams and Creator's Rights 2025 Dave's thoughts on Deni Loubert and Cerebus in 1977 What does a normal day look like for Dave Sim? Why an Aardvark? Does Dave celebrate New Year's? Anniversary tours? A Cerebus bi-monthly spin-off book by other creators? Dave's thoughts on modern day Canadian life. The location and condition of Dave's Albatross notebooks (used in the creation of Cerebus from issues 20 through 300) (Trigger Warning for Margaret: it...it's not good...not good...) Who was Dave's model for F. Stop Kennedy in Going Home? (spoilers: it was F. Scott Fitzgerald.) Hoo-boy it's two hours fifty-six minutes of distraction from the fact that their gonna hunt you down for May sweeps!

If you're of a particular age, the summer of 1989 holds special meaning for you. Specifically, you were almost certainly completely obsessed with Tim Burton's Batman starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. The film redefined superhero movies for a generation, was a relentless blockbuster at the box office, and kicked off a wave of Batmania that left no merchandising stone unturned well beyond that fateful summer.But at the heart of that film is Nicholson's stunning Joker performance. And one of the elements that makes it so memorable is how it marked the first time that the Joker was depicted in live action as a brilliant, but murderous chemist, just as he was in his very first comics appearance back in 1940. Joker spends the second half of the movie holding Gotham City hostage via “Smilex” a deadly nerve toxin that leaves its victims with a hideous post-mortem grin on their faces.These kinds of weaponized poisons are nothing new in the real world, but it's the specific combination of effects that Smilex creates that make it so notable. We're taking a look at the real world parallels, including some disturbingly high profile terrorist attacks that would have made the Joker proud. In the process, we also examine just how this movie's approach to live action superheroics (and supervillainy) changed everything on the big screen.Watch the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here or check it out on our YouTube page!SUGGESTED VIEWING Of course, you must watch Batman (1989). But here's a friendly reminder that we also covered one of Tim Burton's other great films, the original Beetlejuice, on an episode of Does it Fly? recently, and you should absolutely check it out right here.And while the rules of the Joker toxin as we discuss them in this episode apply specifically to this particular Batman movie it's been around in other media, too. Notably, a generally less lethal version made a few appearances on the classic Batman: The Animated Series, which is always worth a watch, especially now that gorgeous remastered versions are available on HBO Max. A few to consider that might scratch your Smilex-induced itch…“The Last Laugh” (S1E15) It's primarily laughing gas here, but you know what it's supposed to be.“Almost Got ‘Im” (S1E35)A case can be made that this is the best episode of the series, even though the Joker and his attendant poison only feature in one segment of it.“The Laughing Fish” (S1E46)Based on several classic issues of the comics (more on one of them down below) this is probably the closest you'll get to the lethality of the original toxin in animated form.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! VX Nerve AgentWe're bringing this up here in part because of the extraordinarily well-documented (and almost Joker-esque) assassination of Kim Jong-Nam in 2017. The murder was carried out using VX, a nerve agent and banned chemical weapon that is considered one of the most deadly and fast-acting out there. Let the CDC fill you in, because trust us, you want no part of this stuff.The Animal Kingdom and Joker Venom“There is no venomous animal on the planet that could do [everything the Joker Venom does]. Having said that, there are components of different animal venoms in the animal kingdom that could, in combination. My understanding of the Joker is that he's quite a smart chemist, so it would be possible to extract the components from those venoms and put them all together.”More on this subject from Professor Jamie Seymour can be found here.Now, about that “recipe” (do not do this)...You'd want a little venom from the box jellyfish, known as one of the deadliest marine animals. A pinch of cone snail venom. And perhaps a dash of the blue-ringed octopus' fatal defense mechanism.2001 Anthrax MailingsA somewhat Joker-esque crime that terrorized an entire nation involved the mailings of lab grown anthrax to high profile politicians and journalists in the autumn of 2001. No less than the FBI itself has a wealth of resources on this incredibly bizarre case.The Source MaterialFor those who want to dive a little deeper into the comics, there are two key stories to consider. Note that the idea of Joker injecting victims with a toxin that causes them to die smiling was introduced in his very first appearance, way back in Batman #1 (1940). But for much of the character's criminal career after that he was comparatively harmless…that is, until 1973's Batman #251 which brought back the idea of the Joker as a murderer with a penchant for unique chemistry, in a brilliant tale called “The Joker's Five-Way Revenge” by the legendary creative team of Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams. This story, along with “The Laughing Fish” and “The Sign of the Joker” from Detective Comics #475-476 by Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers also formed the basis of the similarly named Batman: The Animated Series episode above. Since then, well…it's been around a lot, but these are the two real historical keys for those who can't get enough!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?Shortly after the success of Batman, Disney tried to replicate it with The Rocketeer. We took a look at that movie's iconic jetpack technology here.We also took a look at another rich guy superhero when we unpacked the science and story logic behind Iron Man's arc reactor, which you can watch here!FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

En este capítulo os propongo que nos adentremos en la relación entre el cuarto y el noveno arte. Es decir, entre la música y el cómic. Me gusta mucho el cómic y la novela gráfica, así que, aprovechando que del 4 al 6 de octubre se va a celebrar en Ciudad Real el décimo primer salón del Cómic e Ilustración de Castilla-La Mancha, Manchacómic, os sugiero pasar un buen rato repasando algunos discos cuyas portadas contienen ilustraciones basadas en cómic. Nos acompañaremos de grandes discos y de grandes dibujantes e ilustradores que no solo han trasladado su arte al cómic, sino también al mundo del rock, Desde Robert Crumb a Dave Gibbons pasando por Raymond Pettibon, Neal Adams, John Byrne o Ceesepé entre muchos otros.

En este capítulo os propongo que nos adentremos en la relación entre el cuarto y el noveno arte. Es decir, entre la música y el cómic. Me gusta mucho el cómic y la novela gráfica, así que, aprovechando que del 4 al 6 de octubre se va a celebrar en Ciudad Real el décimo primer salón del Cómic e Ilustración de Castilla-La Mancha, Manchacómic, os sugiero pasar un buen rato repasando algunos discos cuyas portadas contienen ilustraciones basadas en cómic. Nos acompañaremos de grandes discos y de grandes dibujantes e ilustradores que no solo han trasladado su arte al cómic, sino también al mundo del rock, Desde Robert Crumb a Dave Gibbons pasando por Raymond Pettibon, Neal Adams, John Byrne o Ceesepé entre muchos otros. Y conversamos con Angel Serrano el alma máter de Manchacómic para desvelarnos detalles de esta bendita locura. Espero que disfrutes con esta selección que abarcará, como de costumbre, los más variados estilos y épocas.

¿Compramos cómics por la portada? La cubierta de los tebeos es un elemento identificativo, de síntesis del argumento y de colección. Desde el inicio del noveno arte y de su recopilación, la portada se ha convertido en un elemento básico. Los comic-books constituyen el gran campo de batalla y desde la edad de oro, la irrupción de EC y los tebeos de superhéroes, sus cubiertas han tenido una evolución muy importante. Incluso los formatos se han vuelto loquísimos con troquelados, brillos y todo tipo de gadgets. En la BD, Tintin ha tenido portadas significativas, en Italia los fumetti eróticos han tenido cubiertas muy superiores al contenido o en el manga el personaje principal lo monopoliza todo. Actualmente, por suerte la novela gráfica y el cómic de autor permite una multitud de variedades y estilos. Además durante el podcast hablamos de algunos de nuestros portadistas favoritos: Steranko, Neal Adams, Jack Davis, Earl Norem,Gigi Cavenago, Emma Ríos, De Felipe, David Aja, Otomo... etc. Incluso tres grandes portadistas nacionales como Javier Rodríguez, David López y María Llovet nos cuentan cómo afrontan su trabajo, qué portadas les gustan y qué portadistas les chiflan. Completamos el episodio con tres recomendaciones: Ideas negras de Franquin (Dolmen), Goiter de Josh Pettinger (La Cúpula) y Batman/Dylan Dog de Roberto Recchioni, Gigi Cavenago y Werther Dell' edera (ECC.)

We have made it through another year of podcasting and to celebrate we dive into something that has been talked about few times on this show. Almost 50 years ago a fanzine was created by a group of friends. This fanzine was called Outlooks it featured interviews some of comics top talent including Neal Adams, Len Wein, Marv Wolfman and more. It also featured reviews, opinions and artwork from some of the great talents of the time. One of Outlooks creators was our own Joe Peluso but also joining us is returning guest and another part of the Outlooks creative team Jim Chadwick. We hope you enjoy this episode and thank you for being a listener.

In the early 80s, glory could be won in the arcades by those intrepid youths capable of garnering high scores.  One such teen, Julian 'Jaz' Rignall, turned that skillset into a career, first as a strategy tip writer for UK mags like Personal Computing and Computer and Video Games, before becoming a founding writer for ZZAP!64, Mean Machines, Mean Machines Sega, and Nintendo Magazine System.  His career then brought him to America where he worked for Virgin on titles such as Toonstruck and Jungle Book before becoming a pioneer in online games journalism at IGN.  Today, he helps game devs test their wares before they hit our screens at VGM. Jaz has seen every aspect of the games biz, from how the games are made, to how they are presented to the public, to how the press informs us about them.  His insights are truly invaluable!

One thing is certain: Trevor Von Eeden is a goddamn genius.SHOW NOTES0:05 - Discussing our first exposure to this "unsung-shock-your-brain" idea bomb of a comic.9:07 - An attempt to summarize our unwieldy pulp beast of a story, with an assist from Robert Loren Fleming, as well as discursive detours into THE SHADOW, DOC SAVAGE, and the great Richard Pryor.18:04 - Unconventional pacing in THRILLER and the powerful "delayed cumulative impact" of its story rhythms.23:20 - Novel panel compositions ("an obscene amount of panels!"), storytelling innovations, and the downright psychedelic properties of THRILLER. “…an incredible sense of discovery... Trevor Von Eden is literally inventing new storytelling mechanics on every page." "It's impossible for us to convey verbally how inventive this guy was."39:27 - TVE's atypical, kinetic, emotionally resonant approach to inking. "...no one was finishing their work with this roughness and gestural vitality... Von Eeden is all about the emotion..." With detours into the styles of Alex Toth, Neal Adams, and David Mazzuchelli.44:23 - Drawing characters "acting" without masks in non-superhero comics.  50:09 - Innovation in art, from Michaelangelo to manga, Frank Miller to Steven Spielberg, and how David Mazzuchelli's relatively small body of work that casts a huge shadow.1:30:17 - Dick Giordano's inking of TVE plus TVE being uniquely unrecognized for being such an absolute friggin' genius.1:37:17 - Celebrating the vibrant and unique voice of Robert Loren Fleming  — way ahead of his time in his decompressed approach to comic book storytelling, as well as the bold originality of his ideas.1:38:45 - Reading from Heidi MacDonald's amazingly astute, contemporaneous review of THRILLER from THE COMICS JOURNAL #93.1:47 - Discussing the outrageous letter column (mis)behavior of THRILLER's so-called editor, Alan Gold.1:49:34 - Back to Heidi MacDonald's absurdly prescient review, praising the overarching ambition,+ Visit ComicsRotYourBrain.com to get a look at some of the fantastic art discussed in our episodes!+ We appreciate your support of the show via Patreon: ComicsRotYourBrain+ Join us!

Dan Panosian does it all: pencilling, inking, writing, advertising, video game designing... the list goes on. But like most of our guests, he's a comics guy at heart. Starting with Neal Adams at Continuity and Walt Simonson and Ralph Macchio at Marvel, Dan's inking work soon caught the eye of the X-Men editors, and he was off to the races! After runs on Uncanny X-Men and Alpha Flight (among others), he was recruited to Image, where he worked on the big guns like Spawn, Cyberforce, PITT, Prophet, Savage Dragon, and Wetworks. Branching out from inking, Dan pencils and writes too, taking on assignments across the industry, from Dark Horse and Dynamite to Boom! Studios. To see what's coming from Dan next, follow him on X and Instagram @UrbanBarbarian._____________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Binge BBQ with the legendary Mike Gold as we discuss the way his hiring at DC Comics was all Neal Adams' fault, how the guerrilla marketing he learned from Abbie Hoffman helped him quadruple direct market sales, the Steve Ditko Creeper cover which sent a not-so-secret message to publisher Carmine Infantino, why editor Murray Boltinoff compared Marvel Comics to the Beatles (and not in a good way), which staffer was "the most disgusting human being I'd ever met in my life," how First Comics was born, his secret weapon for getting creators to deliver their work on time, our differing contemporaneous exposure to Fantastic Four #1 (and how his related to Merrick Garland), the way an off-hand comment led to a classic John Byrne comic, how the comic book field is like a donut shop, and much more.

The second episode to come from our latest in-studio sojourn is officially available for all to enjoy! Chris, Murd and Ian do what they do best, talk some comics, in this here Comic Talk. We begin with some words on the passing of "Jazzy" John Romita Sr. and his wide-spread legacy in both the world of comics, and the art world as a whole. Then some media convo, including delays in Marvel's upcoming Phase Five slate, the ongoing writer's strike and the subsequent hold on production for Penguin and Daredevil: Born Again, and Ian's review of American Born Chinese on Disney+. Next, some recent reads, including Chris and Ian's thoughts on Titans #1, and Amazing Spider-Man issues 25 and 26, and Chris goes solo for Joshua Williamson's Superman, some Cantwell Blue Flame, and Back Issue's Neal Adams tribute in issue 143.

We're back! Thank you all for your patience during our break. But I believe with my latest guest, Ken Viola, that the wait was worth it. What drives this podcast more than anything are the collector stories. Having been a collector since the 1950s, it's safe to say that Ken has witnessed and experienced more than most in this hobby. Not many can say they were friends with Steve Ditko, or got to hang Frank Frazetta's Egyptian Queen painting in their parents' home, or can lay claim to being the OG Alan Moore art collector. Or produce a documentary featuring Will Eisner, Frank Miller, Moebius, Neal Adams, Bernie Wrightson, and other comics legends. And that's just scratching the surface.  We're going to bring Ken back down the road for part two...for now, enjoy your intro to Ken Viola!

Lots of key comic book back issues have been on the rise lately. Gem Mint and Comic Tom are here to help you navigate the Hottest 10 Back Issues for this week!
