Podcast appearances and mentions of robert loren fleming

COMICS ROT YOUR BRAIN! is a deep dive into ‘80s comics (plus a few noteworthy exceptions).In this weekly podcast, screenwriters Chris Derrick (STAR TREK: PICARD) and Steven Bagatourian (AMERICAN GUN) discuss their favorite books, runs, and creators from the Bronze Age.• EPISODE 1:  Steven and Chris embark on the paradigm-shattering psychedelic trip that is the first seven issues of THRILLER — published by DC Comics in 1983 — and find themselves awestruck in its wake. 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!

With April Fool's Day just around the corner, the time seems right for a long-overdue look at DC Comics' Ambush Bug, who was breaking the fourth wall and spreading mayhem almost a decade before Marvel Comics' Deadpool. Specifically, we take a look at his appearances in 1984's Action Comics #560 and issues 1-4 of 1985's Ambush Bug miniseries, by Keith Giffen and Robert Loren Fleming! Combining elements of Monty Python's Flying Circus, Looney Tunes shorts and the superhero parody of Steve Gerber's Howard the Duck, these issues find the chartreuse crackpot crossing paths with the despotic space-sock Argh! Yle!, the giant koala known as Quantis and even Superman himself! But can he survive a run-in with (gasp!) Darkseid??!! And can these twisted tales survive that Spanish Inquisition known as ... The Comics Canon? In This Episode: ·         Kevin gets tape on a comic! ·         The Legion of Substitute Heroes Special ·         Curt shares some thoughts on Shazam: Fury of the Gods ·         Star Trek: Picard Season 3  Join us in two weeks as we look ahead to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 with a two-part series on Adam Warlock! Until then: Impress your friends with our Comics Canon merchandise! Rate us on Apple Podcasts! Send us an email! Hit us up on Twitter or Facebook! And as always, thanks for listening!

We took this time to have a little comic swap/mart in the driveway of That Comic Smell's home. It was one of the few times we had seen each other in person. Mike had been gifted various longboxes with A LOT of comics. They were predominantly DC titles and after we had met, had a good laugh and picked our way through them all, we went back home, read a bunch of them and discussed it over Skype. This is a little blast from the past and some things that are discussed may be long past now but it just gives us a little glimpse into a time where we were still trying our hardest to stay connected with friends and loved ones. It's also where we got free comics and showed them off! This and all the usual comics chat on… That Comic Smell!

Las últimas hojas del calendario del presente 2018 han traido la esperadísima súper-producción de Aquaman en solitario en la gran pantalla, con el actor hawaiano Jason Momoa en la piel (tatuada) de Arthur Curry. Tras una aparición menor en Batman v Superman: El Amanecer de la Justicia (2016) y su papel en el blockbuster Justice League (2017), por fin el Rey de los Siete Mares ha protagonizado su propia película cortesía de Warner Bros. Picures, bajo la dirección de James Wan (Insidious, The Conjuring) con guion del propio Wan y de Geoff Johns, gran conocedor (y valedor) del personaje y su mitología. Aprovechando la ocasión, desde Zona Negativa hemos querido dedidcarle un nuevo podcast a este personaje, analizando toda su etapa en los cómics de DC. De Paul Norris a Geoff Johns pasando por Jim Aparo, Dick Giordano, Steve Skeates, Peter David, Esteban Maroto o Robert Loren Fleming, sin olvidarnos de Kurt Busiek o John Ostrander, os ofrecemos más de cuatro horas dedicadas a uno de los Siete Grandes de DC. Y todo ello acompañado con una entrevista al gran Esteban Maroto (co-autor de la obra Crónicas de Atlántis, tan ligada a la mitología de Aquaman), con el que pudimos compartir un buen rato.

Greetings and Merry Christmas...in March? This week, Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) dust off a "lost script" from last year and read Robert Loren Fleming and Keith Giffen's Ambush Bug Stocking Stuffer #1, published by DC Comics in 1986! After some information about the creators, our holiday cheerists dive into all forty pages of this comic. Then, after a vocal break, they'll describe every appearance of Ambush Bug, and a controversy that wound up shelving the character for more than fifteen years!
