Thank you! I only ever intended to do a one-off episode, but it was a lot of fun. To be fair, I can't even look at Tony and Adam together without laughing. They're right wee mischief-makers.
There's a Superman Annual that has the same Kane/Toth/Austin art team, along with a fun little Curt Swan backup.
I don't understand the current antipathy towards "graphic novel"; it does what it says on the tin and fits the form better than simple "comic", which almost always refers to the traditional floppy. The one term I completely despise, though, is "comicbook" -- that's for the devil.
Oh, I have the Superman annual and it's an equally odd comic. I must reread that.
'Comic' is a weird term for all the well-worn reasons, but I prefer it to 'graphic novel' as I have no delusions of grandeur. Similarly, I never refer to myself as a writer or artist. I don't think I create art. I make comics because I'm a cartoonist. It just seems simple.
'Comicbook' 'is something I specifically associate with late period Stan Lee. I'm not into that for various reasons
Well, that's the old "art" versus "Art" debate. I agree that those who draw comics are cartoonists (which Joe Kubert was very specific about in his courses), but I see cartooning as a form of art, and comics as an art-form. One might not be wearing a paint spattered beret while starving in a garret, but drawing/cartooning/making comics is artistic endeavour nonetheless. To me, anyway....
I would like a beret, but not an oversized Basque design. A small, Parisian beret that I could fit in a pocket would be nice.
I possibly don't see myself as an artist as I don't separate the writing and drawing functions. Or maybe it's just imposter syndrome. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I am genuinely impressed by something I drew (but not often).
It annoys me when folk from fucking S Club 7 or Girls Aloud describe themselves as artists. But they are, I suppose.
Enjoyed reading about your comic creating history. This is a great stack and another In Full Disclosure episode would be fantastic.
