Marvel Con ‘75 with Hollywood Sound Guy Ken Segal

creatingmarvels — Tue, 09 Jan 2018 20:37:15 -0400

Ken and I had a hoot talking about adventure as a ten year old at Marvel Con ‘75, the first hosted by Marvel Comics Group. Did he meet STan? Did he pose with Red Sonja? Did he put his face in a cut-out? The pictures tell the tale…but why not listen to Ken himself? Look him up on imdb for a big smile, too.

It’s really simple audio, but it was a very fun show before about 20 kids, mostly 3-5 year olds.

Some holiday songs I made, some Integr8d Soul songs I thought would be OK, and some holiday classics. Take care!

Marvel Comic Con 75 with photographer Sam Maronie

creatingmarvels — Mon, 04 Dec 2017 13:20:38 -0400

Marvel Comic Con in 1975 was the very first convention hosted by the Marvel Comics Group itself- and Sam Maronie was there! Here’s a few minutes with his eyewitness account, including his meeting with Jack Kirby. Sam shot most of the existing high quality photos from the event that you still see today- and continues photographing comics convention the nation over. Sam’s also produced a book: Tripping Through Pop Culture: The (Mis) Adventures of a Pop Culture writer, with a cover by the acclaimed Joe Phillips! It’s also got a foreword from Scott Edelman, who you see in the silly picture above with legendary inker Joe Sinnott- our next guest on Creating Marvels!

She’s going to be one very big star, and if Marvel’s going to do it, someone needs to listen to David Anthony Kraft. All Right? OK- You Next!

DAK picks up from part one (Creating Marvels podcast 5, which you can find on Podbean here), telling chronologically about the series he wrote, including insights into the heroes, especially the origins of Hellcat’s lingo and her deeper psychology.

The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man (and the Kid Who Becomes Blue Baron)-a talk with Marvel Comics artist Ron Frenz

creatingmarvels — Mon, 28 Aug 2017 13:50:36 -0400

Part One asks what has been special about choosing to become a comics creator, to the man who broke in as regular Spider-man artist with maybe fandom most beloved short story! Ron had drawn KA-ZAR, STAR WARS, and some issues of MARVEL TEAM-UP when he was tapped to turn Roger Stern's dream into the eleven page "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man." ("Kid" is from Amazing Spider-Man #248, from 1983.)

Now we revisit its creation with Ron, who talks about stewardship of long-time characters, but also introduces us to his very latest co-creation (with TV comedy writer Darin Henry): The Blue Baron, from Sitcomics (click and see!)

(And it's inked by Our Pal Sal Buscema, can you dig it?)

We have tons more coming up from Ron, who spent his Saturday night with us graciously and talked about storytelling as an artisistic collaborator. He answered a mega-ton of Spider-Man questions no true fan will want to miss, and before we called it a night we even had a sleepy discussion of memorable moments of Mighty Thor. Come back for next month's batch and be amazed by this humble, funny, thoughtful craftsman.

Cage/ Daredevil:Brother in a Strange Land/ Marked for Murder by Miller- Distinct character roles & voices / Miller origins of the Netflix hit

creatingmarvels — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 11:45:51 -0400

Part of the book where you'll find most material and so much more story telling companionionship, Creating Marvels

by your host C Lue Disharoon. Coming out soon!

Podcast 5:

A fun discussion about keeping characters distinct in a larger cast, and finding stories that serve to highlight their uniqueness. Example: 1975, Steve Gerber/ Sal Buscema & co.'s Sons of the Serpent guest shots in Defenders #24 & 25. How did that story depict Luke, keep him unique and speak to his identity as a character, rather than random cypher super heroes? It touches upon some frighteningly contemporary elements, too.

20 minutes in, we highlight the issue of Daredevil that began the tone and visual presentation of the title that most inspired the Netflix iteration of the character, today.
