Xombi

It's been a bit since I've posted anything regarding Xombi. To make up for it here's a page of art from issue #4 which goes on sale June 29, 2011. Everyone gets to take a bit of a breather in this issue which includes the best twenty pages ever rendered of people having breakfast courtesy of Frazer Irving.

If that's not enough to convince you to pick up a copy, read this.

Icon and Rocket

The above is the piece that I created for the Static Shock Special which came out a couple of weeks ago. The issue was a tribute to my close friend Dwayne McDuffie who passed away in February and was also one of the four founders of Milestone Media, the comic book company that published Static, Icon, Hardware, The Shadow Cabinet, as well as other titles including Xombi and Kobalt which I wrote. Dwayne also had a hand in created most of the characters in the Milestone stable including Static, and Icon and Rocket who are featured in the piece above. This piece is essentially a modified recreation of the cover to The Marvel Family #28, October 1948 as seen below.

I finally decided on this cover both because Dwayne was a fan of comics from their golden and silver age, and because I thought it represented Dwayne's position in the comic book industry of constantly being attacked and challenged yet never yielding and instead striving to overcome these challenges and to produce the best work possible.

The piece itself was created as a collage in three dimensions using cut paper.

Opening Tonight

For anyone in the Burbank, CA area the Parlour Gallery at Halloweentown  will be holding the opening of their 2nd Annual Tribute to the Haunted Mansion group show tonight form 7-11. The show runs through July 3rd, 2011. I will not be in attendance, but I have two pieces in the show, one featuring the singing busts and the other based on an unused changing portrait concept by Marc Davis. For further details visit the website.

From the Archives 11

The above is a portrait of Lydia Lunch created by J. K. Potter whose strange photographic illustrations were created without the use of a computer which makes them all the more remarkable. I met him when I was buying a large photographic print of the above piece at a gallery show of his work in New York City in the mid-1990s. He was a very likeable guy, and was pleased when I informed him that this piece inspired the creation of two characters from the then current original run of Xombi (he was more pleased to discover that I'd actually credited him in print for this); Manuel Dexterity and his sinister sister Manuella.

Manuel Dexterity and Manuella were two of the more popular creations from the original run, though their appearances were brief. Manuel was the focus of a single issue, while Manuella was seeded through a few subsequent issues in the same storyline. As characters there wasn't much to them. Both were bizarre assassins, and neither spoke their own words. Manuel only spoke the innermost regrets of his victims. But as visual elements, these hand-centaurs were pretty cool to look at. They would have made some truly creepy action figures.

The scene depicting their birth led to the only real incidence of censorship that I encountered while working at Milestone, but that as they say is a story for another day.

Static Shock Special - Preview

Here's the actual cover to the Static Shock Special I discussed in the previous post. There's also a preview of it available here with pages from the story by Felicia Henderson and Denys Cowan. This issue also contains a page of art that I created specifically for this issue.

Static Shock Special

 

The Static Shock Special hits stores today. Starring the popular Milestone Media character of Static, this issue is a tribute to Static's creator, Dwayne McDuffie, who was also one of my closest friends, who died earlier this year. This issue features the work of a number of Milestone alumni and friends of Dwayne's, including myself. Instead of contributing a story for this issue, I provided a page of pin-up art featuring Icon and Rocket, two more characters created by Dwayne for Milestone. My piece, which reinterprets an old Marvel Family cover, is more of a symbolic tribute to Dwayne, the characters he created, and Milestone Media.

Here is the solicitation info from DC Comics:

The Vincentennial

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Vincent Price.

Out of all the actors who have been associated with horror over the years, Vincent Price has always been my favorite. This is because of a few factors. Growing up in the 1970s, he was ever present on television, not simply in broadcasts of the vast number of movies he'd starred in, but also by his guest appearances on so many television shows, commercials, and his regular place on Hollywood Squares, so he was a very familiar face and name, and I associated him equally with humor and horror which meant that even though I saw him in numerous sinister roles, I thought of him more as someone who was really kind and funny who just happened to like pretending he was devious and evil. He was one of a trio of actors who I followed from appearance to appearance and can honestly say I've seen him in almost everything he's ever done. The other two actors, incidentally, were Kirk Douglas due to his role as Ned land in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Steve McQueen thanks to The Great Escape.

Vincent Price, like Bela Lugosi and John Carradine, also had a policy of saying "yes" to just about every role offered to him. Unlike Lugosi and Carradine, both of whom I think are fine actors, Price almost always seemed able to elevate the quality of any movie or tv show he did simply by being in it. He brought a professionalism, sense of grace and elegance to all of his roles, even the ones he was clearly not giving his all and simply falling back on a selection of mannerisms and deliveries that seem to define the camp side of his performances as exemplified by Michael McKean's impersonations of Vincent Price on Saturday Night Live. Even his campiness had a real charm to it, with his peculiar cadences of delivery completely distinct so that you know who it is speaking right away. Lugosi and Carradine may have brought fine performances to otherwise awful material, but I'm a lot more selective about what I'll watch with them in it.

In my youth, Vincent Price was one of a handful of genre actors that I wrote to via Forrest Ackerman. I think all of them wrote back to me, or at least sent an autograph, but Vincent Price's was my most prized one. Somehow during the years I went away to college and tucked it away somewhere safe, the letter itself was lost, but the autograph he sent me I still have. I'd rather have the letter though. It was brief and I'm sure he wrote hundreds more just like it, but he made it seem like the letter I wrote to him was very special to him, and as a kid, getting that letter from such a familiar face that existed only on tv and in ads in TV Guide for cheese slices, or in the pages of Famous Monsters was almost like being invited to his house for lunch.

I also feel great affection for him because out of all the actors tied to the genre, Vincent Price is the only one that I associate with Halloween. Like Ray Bradbury, the headless horseman, or It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, the Halloween season just doesn't feel complete to me without the presence of Vincent Price.

So, today, I raise my glass to Vincent Price, and will make sure to watch at least one of his movies on this day.

Take a look at some of the events lucky residents of Vincent Price's home town of St. Louis, MO got to partake in here at the official Vincentennial website and make sure you order one of their t-shirts to commemorate the occasion. I'll be wearing mine today.

If you're in the St. Louis area also be sure to stop by the gallery at Star Clipper Comics. They have a great exhibit of original artwork featuring Vincent Price. The show runs through the end of June, and I'll be eagerly looking forward to the piece I bought once the show closes. Star Clipper has also been a supporter of Xombi, so if you've been enjoying it, be sure to let them know.

The Grim Gallery

For a project I'm working on I needed to dig through my accumulated digital visual library of images of monsters and their kin. In doing so, I was surprised to see just how extensive (and unorganized) these archives had become, including a lot of rare material. This led me to create a new blog The Grim Gallery as a depository for these images. The images will be dispensed at the rate of one per day, without much in the way of commentary other than simple identification of what you're looking at (otherwise I will not be able to maintain any semblance of a daily schedule). So go take a look and get your daily dose of monsters.

The Enchanted Tiki Room No Longer Under New Management

If true, this is welcome news indeed. I absolutely loathed the crass, soulless "update" that had been given to the Enchanted Tiki Room ( or Tropical Serenade as it was rechristened when it debuted in Florida in 1971)  at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. The original incarnation of the Enchanted Tiki Room had simple charm, with playful interaction between individualistic characters, and a catchy tune, and importantly in terms of Disney history, was, at Disneyland, the first attraction to feature audio animatronic characters which would grow in sophistication as developed for other attractions over the years. In contrast, the updated attraction which opened in 1998 is crass and mean spirited. The Enchanted Tiki Room Under New Management features the grating obnoxious parrot, Iago from Aladdin and Zazu, the hornbill major domo to Mufassa in The Lion King as new managers of the Tiki Room.  The new birds interrupt the original show declaring it to be boring and out of step with the times and then sing an insipid, cynical song about how boring the original attraction was and how things are now improved with them in charge.  Really, what it does is draw attention to how the upgrade is anything but an improvement. Even my own kids, who'd never experienced the original show in person, didn't like it and felt it was mean.

The attraction was closed down after a January 12th fire which damaged the new animatronic stars of the show. Now the attraction is allegedly being returned to something close to its original incarnation and will open later this summer. For a full report read this story at Boing Boing. I hope this proves to be true. I can still recall my first time experiencing the Enchanted Tiki Room as a child. I had no knowledge of what was going to occur when I was inside, but was completely taken in my the talking, singing performing birds, and then the magic of the  inanimate objects joining in. Even the windows displaying weather and scenery not true to what was actually outside the attraction convinced me that I was transported some place magical. It has remained a favorite of mine to this day.

Tomorrow Night on Cinemax

For those of you who have Cinemax as part of your cable package, tomorrow night at 11:00 pm will see the premiere of Femmes Fatales a new series in the tradition of film noir and pulp fiction of yesteryear, but set in the world of today. One of the executive producers on the series is my good friend, Steve Kriozere, and, under a nom de plume,  he and I wrote an episode together which will appear later in the season.

You can learn more about the series by visiting the Femmes Fatales official website.

From the Archives 10

Just like my Brooke Shields: Agent of Fury the above were my rough pitches for Marvel's humor comic book, What The...? and were done somewhere around 1989. This was for a pitch titled "Team-Ups That We'll Never See." I think this was the extent of it. I don't remember doing any others. At any rate it was not used, and my guess is that it was likely because of legal issues in using Calvin and the Blondie characters. For Marvel's humor comics it was easier to just pitch my ideas in cartoon form rather than typed out even though someone else ended up drawing them (sometimes not as well). The idea and humor was more successfully conveyed in this manner as well.

My take on the new season of Doctor Who

Now that the two part premiere of Doctor Who season 6 has aired I have my theory of what it all means. If you haven't seen these two episodes you should probably skip this post altogether as there are some spoilers present. If you have watched it feel free to read my speculation so that you can recall it with awe once these truths are revealed as the show progresses or so that you can ridicule me for my stupid theories that were way off the mark.

Rather than rehash the plotline of "The Impossible Astronaut" and "Day of the Moon" written by Steven Moffat I will focus on the relevant mysterious element of the show, mainly who was that astronaut who shot the Doctor, and who was that little girl?

In a nutshell I feel that the answer to both is River Song (Alex Kingston). Here's why. River Song is in prison for murder, and while she hasn't yet specifically said who she's killed, she has said it was the best man she has ever known. In the world of Doctor Who that can only be one person; the Doctor (Matt Smith). When the astronaut rises from the lake, the Doctor tells everyone to stay away no matter what happens,  he also announces to the astronaut that he knows who it is. We never see the astronaut's face, making it all the more likely it's someone we know as well and would immediately recognize. Also notice that after the Astronaut had shot the Doctor and walked back into the lake that River Song shot at it several times with a  large caliber  revolver from maybe ten feet away and apparently missed with every shot, yet throughout the rest of this story she displays incredible accuracy both in playfully shooting the Doctor's stetson from his head and seriously blasting through a room full of the Silence without spending a lot of time carefully aiming. Why couldn't she hit the astronaut? Is it because of some time paradox about killing yourself in the past? Is it because she knows it's herself in there, which would make sense, if she'd already experienced this in her own past.

Towards the end of "The Impossible Astronaut" Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) announces to the Doctor that she's pregnant, and then she isn't. We meet the little girl (Sydney Wade) wearing the astronaut suit, and then in the next episode Amy Pond encounters her again in photographs including one with herself lovingly with the child. The age of the child indicates some discrepencies in the passage of time. Either the child is able to age rapidly, or is jumping through time just as the Doctor and his companions do.

It might be a bit odd that Amy Pond turned out to be River Song's mother, but there are three connections which make this seem likely. First, as a writer, you are not going to give two of your central characters names that include bodies of water unless you are doing that deliberately, so that readers/viewers make a connection between them. Steven Moffatt is not a sloppy writer, so he had to have done this on purpose, otherwise he would have thought early on "I can't name her River. I already have an Amy Pond, so I'll have to change one of them." Secondly, in the same manner, there is a connection between the little girl and the person who shot the Doctor, and this is the astronaut suit, leading one to believe that they are one and the same character, lending support that the character who shot the Doctor was River Song since it was a little girl in the astronaut suit and not a boy. Third, the Doctor was shot in the middle of regenerating himself. We see the sand-like light energy pouring forth from his hands and face signaling his regeneration, and then it's gone. At the end of "Day of the Moon" we see the same regeneration energy pouring from the hands and face of the little girl, suggesting she's going through a regeneration. Is this because the Doctor figured out that River Song was going to kill him, and that it was going to happen when it did and transferred his regeneration energy to her as some sneaky means to keep himself from staying permanently dead? I think that part of this won't be answered until Matt Smith calls it quits as the Doctor and we need him to regenerate into his next incarnation. Even so, this could account for the little girl shifting through time, vanishing from Amy's womb and appearing as a little girl a short time later. It would also tie into the bit where River talks about how each time she and the Doctor meet she knows more about him, and he less about her, until eventually he's going to see her and have no idea who she is. Amy's own uncertainty about her pregnancy seems to indicate that something about it is unusual which I think has to do with the connection to the timelord regeneration energy.

This is all just my gut instinct based on a single viewing of these episodes, but because it all fell into place as I was watching them and not in hindsight, it feels right. Only time will tell how it plays out, and I could eventually come off looking like a big idiot instead of some kind of precognitive Doctor Who wiz.

Brooke Shields: Agent of Fury

I recently uncovered some old pitches from my early years at Marvel Comics. These were all short humor pieces (of which I did quite a number) for titles such as What If...? and What the...? Because of the nature of them I often pitched them in rough cartoon form rather than as written pitches. This one was probably for What the...? but was never used. I don't recall the reason. My initial suspicion was that there were fears of litigation from Brooke Shields, but that sort of thing was still uncommon back then. Certainly it was nothing like it is now where you can't even mention a public figure or product by name in a comic book, and new character names are often changed anyway just in case.

Yes, at the time I did notice that I left the "e" off the end of "Brooke." Since this was just a pitch sketch done in felt tip marker, I wasn't going to redo the whole thing, or white it out just for a gag pitch that no one else would see besides the editor I was pitching and, if sold, the artist who would redraw it and the letterer who hopefully would spell "Brooke" correctly.



   

RIP Elisabeth Sladen

I'm very saddened to learn that Elisabeth Sladen has died at the young age of 63. I began watching Doctor Who during the Jon Pertwee years when Jo Grant was his companion, followed by Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith who continued on through part of the Tom Baker run as the Doctor.

I think the reason that Sarah Jane Smith had such tremendous appeal to so many fans of the show (aside from how cute she was) is that Sarah always seemed a bit scared during her various adventures with the Doctor. The show could be a bit frightening for kids watching it and Sarah's visible unease made the frights seem more genuine and at the same time made it okay for young viewers to feel a bit frightened by what they were watching. No matter how scary things got, or how frightened Sarah became, she always found the strength and courage to rise above her fears and do whatever it was that needed to be done to help the Doctor save the world. If Sarah was scared, it was okay for the kid watching to be scared, and if she could be brave enough to overcome her fears, so could the child watching, even if that meant simply making it until the show's cliffhanger ending.

She remains my favorite of the Doctor's companions, and I was pleasantly surprised when she returned to the series in a recurring role during it's current incarnation looking very much the same as she did decades ago. She is also the only companion to receive their own spinoff series, a testament to her popularity. Given how great she looked I was taken aback to learn that she'd been fighting cancer for some time and finally succumbed. Doctor Who remains inspirational to me, in large part because of the well rendered characters on the show, a combination of the talent of the writers and the actors who have brought them to life. While the Doctor has travelled with many companions before Sarah Jane Smith, and since, she's the one I always use as the high standard to which I compare the others.

Upcoming Haunted Mansion Art Show

I'm excited to announce that I'll be participating in the 2nd Annual Tribute to the Haunted Mansion  Group Art Show at the Parlour Gallery in Burbank, CA, which will run from June 4 - July 3,  2011. As anyone who has paid any attention to this blog knows, I hold the Haunted Mansion at the Walt Disney theme parks near and dear to me. It's a great resevoir of inspiration for me, and I make sure to ride this great attraction as many times as possible when visiting one of the parks, never tiring of the familiar comfort and excitement I feel each time I pass through its portals.

I'm still not sure what aspect of the attraction I'll be focusing on, but am really looking forward to putting my pieces together for this show.

Walt Disney World Leftovers - Part 2

As promised yesterday, here are a bunch of photos I took at Walt Disney World that didn't fit into in the other recent posts I'd put together to cover aspects of my trip this past February. You can find links to those previous posts at the end f this one. The photos in this final post cover Epcot and two of the resorts, Pop Century where we stayed for a single night when we extended the beginning of our trip, and the Beach Club where we stayed the rest of the time. All images can be enlarged by clicking on them.

This is the dock outside the Beach Club where you can catch a "friend ship" transport to Disney Studios or Epcot, though this is a bit silly since you can actually walk there in less time.

A sitting room off the lobby of the Beach Club Villa. As a night owl, I made great use of the sitting rooms at the Wilderness Lodge on my previous trip. Generally unused by guests, especially at night, they make for a pleasant refuge to read quietly.

In contrast, the Pop Century was garish and a bit tacky. The budget resorts aren't much different from staying at a hotel. The pool area is very noisy, even at night and as one of my kids noticed if someone in the hotel flushes their toilet everyone can hear it. On the other hand I have nothing but praise for the staff, especially the young woman who took a lot of time to help us when some complications arose when we tried to purchase our park tickets and my bank's overzealous fraud protection kicked in on a Sunday, of course. It was not a good way to begin our trip, but she fixed everything that she could so that it wasn't close to the disaster it could have been.

This is what my son dubbed the "tron-orail" and evaded my every attempt to get a photo of it. I even rode it twice. Promoting the recent Tron sequel, the outside of the monorail was decorated to look like a light cycle with a wall of light streaming behind it. If anyone got a good photo of the tron-orail I'd love to see it.

A few shots taken from Mission Space. I think this is a really great simulator ride, but really wish it were in Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom, the land that I always wished were one of my favorites, but always feels like it's been abandoned, or having an identity crisis.

I really love this mounted samurai statue in the Japan pavillion in World Showcase.

I was also really taken with these great retro t-shirts featuring the Orange Bird, but alas, they were only available in women's shirts.

I also really liked the explorer's study tucked away in the back of one of the shops in the England pavillion.
