Podcast appearances and mentions of William M Gaines

On July 24th, Oni Press, in partnership with William M. Gaines Agent, Inc., resurrected EC Comics in spectacularly bloody fashion. Tales from the Abyss #1 contains 4 stories that captures the spirit of classic EC Comics. Then, on August 7th, Cruel Universe #1, a collection of science-fiction stories. I had the good fortune of chatting with Hunter Gorinson, President and Publisher at Oni Press, along with two of the creators of one of the tales from the abyss themselves, Chris Condon and Peter Krause.  My number one takeaway from this interview was both the excitement and reverence all 3 have for EC Comics. It also doesn't hurt that both of these issues are phenomenal and I was blown away by the stories and the storytelling talent on display here. We talk about how this deal developed between the family of William M. Gaines and Oni Press, the staggering influence of EC Comics to this day, and a whole lot more.   Here's what Oni Press had to say about Epitaphs from the Abyss:  From the publisher that drove Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, and many more into the depraved hearts of an unsuspecting world, the immortal EC COMICS returns . . . with its first ALL-NEW series in nearly 70 years! In our first extra-sized, 40-page dose of fear, witness shocking tales of torment and tension in the undying EC tradition-as wrenched from the grave by the vile intentions of acclaimed writers Brian Azzarello (Batman: Damned, 100 Bullets), Chris Condon (That Texas Blood, Night People), J. Holtham (FX's The Handmaid's Tale), and Stephanie Phillips (Harley Quinn, Grim) and realized into bloody reality by "all-slaughter" artists Jorge Fornes (Rorschach, Danger Street), Phil Hester (Family Tree), Peter Krause (Irredeemable), and more! What the Comics Code Authority couldn't kill has only made it stronger . . . EC COMICS LIVES AGAIN IN EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS!  Here's what Oni Press had to say about Cruel Universe: Compelled to OBLIVION, driven to ENTROPY, all life in our cosmos can only end in one place: COMPLETE ANNIHILATION! For the first time in 70 years, the limitless fury of EC Comics rages back to life to shred the very fabric of the universe itself-and wrench bizarre tales of time and space into our dimensional plane! Our guides across this double-sized, 40-page introduction to a cosmic maelstrom of strange extraterrestrial entities, malevolent scientists, and terrifying technological catastrophes? Learn to fear the void with the irradiated imaginations of Hugo Award nominee Corinna Bechko (Invisible Republic), rising star Chris Condon (That Texas Blood), Eisner Award nominee Matt Kindt (BRZRKR, Mind MGMT), and Edgar Award winner Ben H. Winters (The Last Policeman) as they collide with the wondrously destructive visions of artists Jonathan Case (Green River Killer), Kano (Immortal Iron Fist), Artyom Topilin (I Hate This Place), and Caitlin Yarsky (Black Hammer: Reborn)! The unpredictable return of EC Comics continues here with the quantum comics event of the millennium! Galaxies will collapse. Space-time will be distorted. And your very will to exist, too, shall be broken . . . Just remember: it's all in the name of SCIENCE! Our episode sponsors After the Realm Don't miss Eisner and Harvey award winning comics creator Michael Avon Oeming's newest crowdfunding project After The Realm.

Director: Gilbert AdlerWriters: William M. Gaines, Bob Gale, Robert Zemeckis, A L Katz & Gilbert AdlerPlot: The Crypt Keeper returns to tell the story of a funeral parlor that moonlights as a vampire bordello.

Cet artiste de Saint-Ouen, haut-parleur fantasque du binôme Musique Post-Bourgeoise, nous embaume d'un linceul d'encouragements à disparaître en toute liberté, tandis que les obsèques demeurent toujours limitées à vingt personnes.C'est une croix d'apparence très lourde, dans les trois mètres de haut, posée à la diable devant les grilles du cimetière du Père-Lachaise. Surprise : elle est souple et courbée, comme si on la tirait par les cheveux. Sur son socle, il est inscrit en lettres noires : « La mort c'était mieux avant. » Le 24 mai dernier, le plasticien parisien Olivier Urman, qui venait tout juste d'installer cette création avec ses complices, y ajouta une brève notice. « Empêcher les gens d'aller aux obsèques (…) c'est Covid de sens. La vie est un risque à prendre. Mourir n'est pas une honte ou une corvée d'ébouage. Mourir est un accomplissement, un devoir et un exemple. C'est faire don de sa personne, de son âme, aux vivants et à la nature. Cela mérite certainement d'être accompagné(e) avec les honneurs par les siens lors de ce changement d'état. Il n'y a pas de précautions raisonnables qui tiennent. Mourir n'a jamais tué personne. »Tandis que les obsèques demeurent limitées à vingt personnes malgré la maîtrise nationale de la propagation du coronavirus, la moitié fantasque du binôme Musique Post-Bourgeoise, qui suggérait déjà dans sa chanson Le Patient (2014) de « mourir en réfléchissant, sagement, à demi enterré dans le sommier », propose d'aller plus loin : « Disparaissons en mer, en mission, dans l'air, en forêt ou dans le métro. Sans bruit, sans odeur et sans messe, sans fleurs et sans poussière », dit-il de sa voix froide comme le fer, comme encouragé par l'ironie de l'écrivain français Joris-Karl Huysmans à décrire la « quincaillerie » et « le misérable apparat » des « crevés opulents » dans son roman En route (1895). Nous partirons comme nous l'entendrons.« Nous interdire de se rassembler lors de funérailles, j'y vois un non-sens, une impossibilité philosophique, comme si nous n'étions plus libres de notre mort. Si les gens ont envie de mourir en se refilant le virus tous ensemble ? On est tout le temps en train de parer la mort, d'éviter des accidents, confiera plus tard Olivier Urman. Quand tu vois la gueule du Père-Lachaise, les protocoles, les costumes, les convois... et qu'on t'impose aujourd'hui de mourir seul, je trouve en effet qu'il valait mieux mourir avant. Chez moi, j'ai caché des revolvers. Je préfère ne pas me soigner plutôt que de crever à l'hôpital. »Pour découvrir Musique Post-Bourgeoise, « brio électronique de salon et seule véritable musique folklorique parisienne », c'est ici.Visuel © Les Contes de la crypte, d'après la bande dessinée de William M.

Author Bill Schelly joins Tim to discuss his new book "Harvey Kurtzman: The Man Who Created MAD and Revolutionized Humor in America" from Fantagraphics.  Harvey Kurtzman createdMAD, andMADrevolutionized humor in America. Kurtzman's groundwork as the original editor, artist, and sole writer ofMADprovided the foundation for one of the greatest publishing successes of the 20th century. But how did Kurtzman inventMAD, and why did he leave it shortly after it burst nova-like onto the American scene? Bill Schelly's heavily researched biography finally and fully answers these question for the first time. Through fresh interviews with Kurtzman's colleagues, friends and family, including Hugh Hefner, Al Feldstein, James Warren, R. Crumb, Jack Davis, Gilbert Shelton, and many others, and an examination of Kurtzman's personal archives, this book tells the true story of one of the 20th century's greatest humorists.
