Jack Kirby Centennial Lecture

The kind of deep and heartfelt tribute only a lifetime fan (fanatic) can deliver. Very insightful history of the greatest American comic book artist.

Man and Superman

These are some of my favorite panels from Frank Miller's graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns (1986). See also I Love Jack Kirby. Click for larger versions.

Game of Thrones at the Oxford Union

The three shows I've been following in recent years are Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, and Mad Men (now over). Some of the Amazon Prime pilots I've seen look promising, like The Man in the High Castle.

The ravages of time

These make me happy and sad at the same time.

Summer of '69

I love this video. The clothes, the hair, the faces -- they're all so familiar. Every person in the video looks like someone I grew up with in the midwest :-)

Lana Del Rey

From internet sensation to SNL last night.

Call me crazy, but Video Games is a great song and could become part of the indie pop canon -- check out all the covers on YouTube that have appeared just in the last few months. One critic writes: ... the music video "flits between surrendering to romance and depression, moving with the elegant wastefulness of the kind of day drunk that's a true privilege of the beautiful, idle class."

I love Jack Kirby

His crude but expressive drawing style and mythic sensibilities made him unique among early comic artists.

Silver Surfer #18 was the prize of my grade school comic book collection. It's the issue in which the Surfer first encounters Black Bolt and the Inhumans. Richard Gere's Jesse Lujack is seen reading it in the remake of Breathless (Godard's À Bout de Souffle).
