Anthony DesiatoHOST
right as that 48 page but that makes sense because in these issues there's a little blurb about it being this lost tale and I wasn't sure about that so thank you for clearing that up
Martin GrayGUEST
yeah that's why you've got a guy like Alex Saviuk where I draw very much pre-crisis but it was a fun thing yeah I mean the repurpose a few of them is Superman Annuals original Superman Annuals so A couple of them, I think, were written by Paul Kupferberg of 13th Dimension and drawn by Gil Kane.
Martin GrayGUEST
And it was just good to be able to see them.
Martin GrayGUEST
But yeah, I think it was probably his last appearance before the Phantom Zone miniseries.
Howard ChaykinGUEST
They want the illusion of the romance of living as an artist.
Howard ChaykinGUEST
But I learned how to do comic books from sitting and watching Gil Kane work.
Howard ChaykinGUEST
I was his gopher and monkey.
Howard ChaykinGUEST
And and watching him do the job was much more part of more instructive to me than any of the hands on work I did for Woody or Gray or Neil.
Howard ChaykinGUEST
I mean, I ghosted a month's worth of Starhawks for Gil.
Howard ChaykinGUEST
Wow.
Howard ChaykinGUEST
And I'm really proud of that because many people assumed that I had penciled it and Gil had penciled it and I'd inked it, which meant that I got inside Gil's head as opposed to merely the superficial nature of of the, the tropes of Gil Kane, you know, that sort of thing.
John SiuntresHOST
Well, I know, I, I know, uh, Eisner is not a favorite of yours from a personal level because he attacked you, but
Peter RiosHOST
And I actually really like the artwork in a lot of those Huntress tales.
Peter RiosHOST
This whole issue was under a cover by Gil Kane, yet another one of my favorite artists, featuring this godlike being throwing thunderbolts at Wonder Woman.
Peter RiosHOST
And it's just beautiful with these purple clouds.
Peter RiosHOST
Such a good cover.
James EnstallHOST
Jerry waited until Stan was on vacation so he couldn't stop him.
James EnstallHOST
And then you mentioned some of the artists like Ditko and like Gil Kane.
James EnstallHOST
But I know when I think of Justice League, I grew up in the 80s, so I was a superpowers kid.
James EnstallHOST
And that artwork on those boxes and blisters by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, who I know is also an influence of yours.
Billy D.HOST
And, uh, it came out in mid-October 1974.
Billy D.HOST
And this one, again, it's got a, a Gil Kane and Klaus Janson cover with some, uh, Romita alterations.
Billy D.HOST
I'm sure, uh, Jonah's face, maybe even, uh, the young lady there.
Billy D.HOST
Romita liked to touch up faces.
Adam ReckHOST
When you see this in the script, what was going through your mind when you read it for the first time? Oh, I was
David MessinaGUEST
expecting, because, like I said, my love for comics started with Spider-Man by Roy Thomas, Gil Kane, Giordano Mita Senior, and the X-Men by Chris Claremont and Jim Burr.
David MessinaGUEST
So I always seen the Brood as X-Men version of the aliens.
David MessinaGUEST
And I still remember as one of my favorite issue, the last issue drawn by John Byrne, I think, where Kitty is trapped in the X-Mansion with a demon, and the story was really with the same vibe of Alien.
John MoltzHOST
for another time.
Dan MorenHOST
Rob writes, I agree they used Kane as in for Carrie's name for a reason, but what reason, in addition to the possible back connections, it could refer to longtime Green Lantern artist Gil Kane?
Guy EnglishHOST
Oh...
Dan MorenHOST
which I thought I did kind of think about at one point.
Adam ChapmanHOST
Mm.
Patrick ReedGUEST
Um, because what Steve Ditko and Stan Lee and then John Romita and Stan Lee did over those first, you know, and then other artists with Gil Kane-
Adam ChapmanHOST
Mm-hmm
Patrick ReedGUEST
... and Don Heck and John Buscema and other people.
SeanHOST
Yeah.
SeanHOST
So it, again, it's Action Comics 552, um, written by Marv Wolfman and artwork by Gil Kane.
SeanHOST
So I love Marv Wolfman as a writer.
SeanHOST
Um, and I mean, Gil Kane is a classic artist.
SeanHOST
Um, I can't say that I loved the artwork in this issue, but it, it wasn't really what stood out to me.
SeanHOST
It, it was the premise of this story, 'cause it's not...
Norman C. LaoGUEST
I can be unforgiving just like everybody else.
Norman C. LaoGUEST
Um, Hal Jordan's, I mean, like, I still have bones to pick with do I want the original, you know, Gil Kane suit without the shoulder- ... points or do I want the shoulder points on it? You know, a la, you know, Len Wein and Dave Gibbons.
Norman C. LaoGUEST
Like, which version do you want? Um, don't even bring up the Parallax armor 'cause I can't even-
Kyle WagnerHOST
Yeah
