About this deal

The Image episode is unique -- you're on camera for it quite a bit, and obviously in your career you've been closely involved with many of the primary folks involved. What was producing that episode like for you? Gordon, Ian (2002). "Comics". St James Encyclopedia of pop culture (2002) . Retrieved May 30, 2005. Executive-produced by Robert Kirkman (“The Walking Dead”), Dave Alpert, Daniel Junge, and Rory Karpf, the six- part documentary series premieres as a two-night event on Sunday, November 12th at 11PM ET/PT and Monday, November 13th at 10PM ET/PT with each episode examining a different storyline relating to comic book history using interviews with the likes of Stan Lee, Kevin Smith, and Patty Jenkins alongside in-depth, dramatic re-creations of key historical journeys.

For Kirkman, his favorite part of making this series “was just seeing all the things our research team had dug up, how the episodes came together, and seeing some of the things in the episodes that surprised me. Because I didn’t think for an instant that there would be times in the show where I found out new information that I didn’t already know, or any secret history that I wasn’t aware of. But it actually happened more than a few times, and it was pretty great every time it happened.” My then father-in-law Gwilym Parry, for supplying the memorable postcards featured in CW, especially the famous ‘Better ‘ole’ by Bruce Bairnsfather. Patty Jenkins, the director of 2017’s Wonder Woman which broke the record for the biggest grossing live-action film directed by a woman and became the highest grossing film of the summer.J.K. Simmons, the iconic actor who has had roles in both Spider-Man as the incorrigible editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle, J. Jonah Jameson, and in Robert Kirkman’s Invincible as Omni-Man. They deserve the highest accolades and prizes for their important and very readable books which are changing the way we see the Great War. Our whole team got together and started pitching ideas. I think there was at some point, a list of maybe 12 or 15 different subjects that we could explore. We started looking at what kind of eye witness kinds of things that we could get, and what kind of first-hand accounts that we could get.

Darren Cullen who, AFAIK, is alone of a younger generation, producing strongly anti-war comics and films such as the brilliant Action Man: Battlefield Casualties. His film is hated by the Daily Mail and The Sun, and that’s a compliment I’m truly envious of! In addition to all of the Timely, Atlas, and Marvel comic books (through 1967), Goodman published multiple titles in nearly every mass audience periodical genre for four decades. He was a captain of industry when it came to volume of product and conformity to the prevailing trends. As a result, this generous collection of Goodman covers and interior art is also a substantial survey of mid-century mass audience periodical history – reflecting the changing appetites of the public and corresponding trends in magazine illustration and design. The new, six-part documentary series takes a deeper look into the many stories and creators that make up the world of comic books. Featuring interviews with comic book icons such as the legendary Stan Lee, the creator of Marvel and many of our most popular Marvel superheroes including Spider-Man, Superman, Hulk, X-Men, The Avengers and countless more popular characters. The bottom line is that all of these illustrators were commercial artists, taking whatever paying work came their way, and turning out art accordingly.

The Secret History of Comic Book Imperialism

For Anderson and Taylor, “The Trials of Superman” represents a new milestone in their unique and diverse careers.

When I wrote Accident Man with Tony Skinner, we were often lying in a wilderness amongst the bluebells and congratulating ourselves that we didn’t have a ‘real job’. In fact, many modern comics festivals have fallen over themselves to award female comics creators. Just in the last year, an all-female slate swept the Ignatz awards at the Small Press Expo in Maryland. If anything, the number of female award winners at festivals in the last few years has been overwhelming. All the publishers of foreign editions of CW, notably Tero Mielonen, publisher of the most recent – and quite beautiful – Finnish edition.

Hirsch’s groundbreaking research weaves together a wealth of previously classified material, including secret wartime records, official legislative documents, and caches of personal papers. His book explores the uneasy contradiction of how comics were both vital expressions of American freedom and unsettling glimpses into the national id—scourged and repressed on the one hand and deployed as official propaganda on the other. Pulp Empire is a riveting illumination of underexplored chapters in the histories of comic books, foreign policy, and race. Writer Robert Kirkman has become one of the comic book industry’s most important creators over the past decade and a half, and not just because of the massive success of his creation, The Walking Dead, but also his work on books like Invincible for Image Comics , and for Marvel Comics, several years of Ultimate X-Men. Now Kirkman and AMC have teamed up once again, this time producing the six part documentary series Robert Kirkman’s The Secret History of Comics.

My grandfather John Mills, a policeman at the beginning of the Great War, who resigned and joined the army, serving in the trenches, rather than do the dirty work of the ruling classes by arresting deserters. When you consider that the Police Gazette was listening a thousand deserters a week, with another thousand not answering their call up, and the total number of deserters in the Great War was 146,000 (probably significantly more), it gives us an idea of just how big the problem really was. Robert Crawford (2013). On Glasgow and Edinburgh. Harvard University Press. p.258. ISBN 9780674067271. And that’s also what The Secret History are about – challenging the establishment. I guess because ultimately most publishers are motivated by a desire for power and control rather than a love of storytelling as art. If they have to choose, they will go for power every time. Canadian actors Blaine Anderson and Brendan Taylor will star in an episode of AMC’s new series “AMC Visionaries: Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics” as comic book legends Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. The episode, entitled “The Trials of Superman” airs Monday, November 20th at 10PM ET/PT on AMC. AMC Visionaries: Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics” is the new documentary series spearheaded by Robert Kirkman (creator of “The Walking Dead” comic) that begins airing on November 12th and 13th on AMC and mixes interviews and fully-scripted, dramatic re-creations to look at key moments in the history of comics.Two books stand out above all the others I consulted. Hidden History: The Secret History of the First World War and Prolonging the Agony: How the Anglo-American Establishment Deliberately Extended WW1 by Three-and-a-Half Years by Gerry Docherty and Jim MacGregor. Ignored by the media and the establishment, their books are game-changers. There is no answer to the charges against the establishment they raise, except ‘guilty’. And their books and documentaries about their work are now known world-wide.
