Steranko's influenc...(JSam will remember this)<br /><br />Steranko's influence popped up in all sorts of unexpected places. Lenny Lipton's <i>Independent Filmmaking</i>, about the <i>only</i> accessible book available on the subject in the Sixties and early Seventies, used an entire page from <i>Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.</i> to illustrate storyboarding. At the time (high school), I found that delightfully subversive. 'Course, the whole book was delightfully subversive.G. W.

All this reminds me why I loved comics so much as a kid.<br /><br />Our neighborhoods, Wayne, were great negative engines, draining all imagination and brightness and energy from our world. The only way a few bright beams of sunlight could sneak in was through the magazine and comic book racks at the local Rexall. I treasure all these "brilliant corners."<br /><br />At Windycon I saw a beautiful volume of Ditko's early monster stories for CDC, lovingly repro'ed, though some of the pages were off-register -- but I even loved the off-register images. It made the book all the more "real."Rich Chwedykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734066520904094275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840267469201344530.post-41274779277184649362009-11-15T23:21:40.414-07:002009-11-15T23:21:40.414-07:00PS: I would totally buy a memoir by you.PS: I would totally buy a memoir by you.James Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281049641681225389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840267469201344530.post-90719074544207295562009-11-15T23:21:16.545-07:002009-11-15T23:21:16.545-07:00I remember when the Steranko stuff first hit the s...I remember when the Steranko stuff first hit the stands. I was in my dad's bookstore in the Plaza Shopping Center in Atlanta. I was just standing there looking at one of his covers. I didn't know what to think. It was just so damned cool.<br /><br />At eight years old, I'd try to hold my hands like Ditko drew them. FUCK! Fuck that!<br /><br />Then I'd hold them the way Kirby drew them. Cool! I can effin' do that! So I'd hold out my hand like Ben Grimm (only with four fingers instead o' three). Or like Sgt. Fury (without the Howlin' Commandos). Yeah, baby.James Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281049641681225389noreply@blogger.com
