Pat Mills on Joe Colquhoun – Falcon Squadron. Included here are excerpts from Neil Emery’s now defunct Charley’s War site. Neil interviewed Battle co-creator and all-round comics legend Pat Mills on the subject of Charley’s War. The interview contained some interesting comments on Johnny Red and Battle in general. Also included are Mills’ comments on Joe Colquhoun from a separate conversation with Neil. I look on your and Joe Colquhoun’s work on Charley’s War as a sort of Lennon and McCartney of the comic world, two geniuses working on the same team. Did you pick Joe specifically for Charley’s War or was it a happy accident, because he was working on Johnny Red at the time wasn’t he? You are very kind, but yes, if you get the right team anything is possible. Frankly, I didn’t care for Johnny Red himself. Anyway, I’d just finished creating 2000AD and I wanted to do something new and special.

Dave was damn good at this. I feel very strongly about Joe’s death. In my own way, I’m following in Joe’s footsteps. I felt the same as Joe. The Official Alex Toth Website. Add a new Post entry Forum software and Server Migration Friends, Time marches on. I have been using the same forum software for ten years (with some small upgrades) . Unfortunately, I needed to move to a new server. Rather than get all technical here, what this meant is that I could no longer use the old forum software. Luckily someone was kind enough to write a migration tool to another forum code that would work on this server. Everyone should be able to log in with their username and password. Also if you post a reply to this thread to let me know it is working that would be so greatly appreciated!! Thanks for the understanding during the transition! --Jeff UPDATE: I just found out the software I migrated to is a spam magnet. Eclipso begins today. The Fox!

In 1960s Britain, even before the Bond Phenomenon was ignited by film adaptations of Ian Fleming’s novels about a rakish secret government agent, a spy-fi woman was kicking ass in a daily news strip. She dealt in espionage, but never worked in an official capacity, preferring instead to handle matters on her own terms. This woman was the extraordinary Modesty Blaise.* At the same time the producers of the then-fledging British television series, The Avengers, recognized that the time was ripe for a female adventurer of complexity, independence and sexual sophistication – which we saw in Honor Blackman’s Dr.

Catherine Gale – O’Donnell was thinking on a serendipitous wavelength. His spy-fi creation, Modesty Blaise, debuted in England in 1963 and appeared in newspaper strips and novels for over 40 years; all written by O’Donnell himself. Modesty is a survivor, a force of nature, an ex-crime boss, and a loyal friend. The response from the operator at the BBC was, “Michael who, was that?” Ms. Blog Denis Bodart / Denis Bodart's blog. Jake Parker. The Joe Kubert Interview. From TCJ #172 (November 1994) Promo photo provided by Joe Kubert Joe Kubert has led a charmed life. He started apprenticing in comics production “shops” in ’38 at the age of 11; from then until now, his has been one of the most successful careers in comics.

Starting with his tenure as artist of Hawkman in the late ’40s, Kubert has been a major contributor to mainstream comics in every decade: The Viking Prince and Tor in the ’50s, Enemy Ace and Sgt. Rock in the ’60s, the Tarzan books in the ’70s, and what seems like every other DC cover from the late ’50s through the ’80s. And he is not merely a prolific and reliable journeyman professional: he is one of the best draftsman the art has ever seen. If that isn’t enough, he has been happily married for over 40 years, with three sons, one daughter, and more grandchildren than I can count. An interview with Kubert is like a tour through the history of comics. Kubert is a paradigmatic member of his time and place. JOE KUBERT: I’ll accept that. The Joe Kubert Interview.

Bear Alley: They Challenged the Giants of the Skies. This week we have a brief strip relating the real-life challenges faced by the R.A.F. when the Zeppelin raids began during World War I.

The artwork (although not the cover above) is by Jorge Luis Moliterni, better known in his native Argentina as a Western artist (Watami) and in the US as George Moliterni, who worked for DC Comics; in the UK his work was almost exclusively related to World War II subjects, ranging from issues of War and Battle picture libraries to episodes of Codename: Warlord in Warlord. Bizarrely, I always thought of Moliterni as an artist of adventure strips because I first saw his work in Top Secret Picture Library.

Moliterni died young, although there seems to be some question about his age which unfortunately the internet doesn't resolve. My notes give his dates as d.1979 but I have also seen notes online which say he died in 1978; and, just to confuse matters even further, I've also seen his year of birth given as either 1933 or 1939. Bleaseworld: January 2011. Unfortunately I didn't spend as much time painting this morning as planned as I was somewhat distracted by the news (or more correctly lack of) about US plastics producer Wargames Factory. It appears there is some sort of corporate takeover going on with what looks like is going to result in a train wreck.

A takeover announcement has been made by one party which has been refuted to some extent by another. The worse thing is that some customers have paid money for product they still haven't received... Quite what the future is is unclear, but it doesn't look good from the battle that is going on. From the various forums it seems the situation could get worse with IP rights being owned by one party, the moulds by another. From a personal point of view there is the issue of model availability for projects underway.

The other project is Saul's Shock Troops. Jorge Luis Moliterni Hector German Oesterheld: Jorge Luis Moliterni. "Watami" Jorge Luis Moliterni, History "Watami" Episode number 3 !!! Jorge Luis Moliterni began his career in advertisement, but started working in comics full time from 1957. His early work appeared in periodicals like Hora Cero and Frontera. He alternated with several other artists on Hugo Pratt's 'Ernie Pike' and 'Sargento Kirk' series. He drew the 'Watami' series with scripts by Hector German Oesterheld in Misterix from 1962. In the mid-1960s, Moliterni began working for international publishers and agencies, such as the British Fleetway and the American Charlton Comics (as George Moliterni).

In the Italian magazine Il Corriere dei Regazzi, he produced the adventures of Davy Crockett's son 'Bob Crockett' from 1972. Shortly before his death, Moliterni drew several episodes of 'Watami' and 'Los Professinales' for Ediciones Record. Lincoln | Les Editions Paquet. Sgt rock. Kirby pencils. Skullkickers #8.

Scott McCloud | Journal. DC Comics and Marvel Comics News. Paul Gravett | Article Detail. “Where’s my jetpack?” Science fiction may not always accurately predict the future, but it does reflect the dreams of its times. Here we are in 2010, the 21st century, and we do have many technical marvels anticipated decades earlier by the worlds of wonder envisioned in speculative media like comics. Sixty years ago, on April 14th 1950, the first issue of Eagle with cover star Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future, took to the skies and launched a new forward-looking era, not only in British comics but in world comics, with its spectacular fully-painted colour artwork printed in luxurious photogravure.

Nothing anywhere else in the world at that time came close to Frank Hampson’s utterly convincing, photo-realistic visions of a tangible future. So six decades on, what is the legacy of Eagle and in particular the extraordinary draughtsmanship of Hampson on comics today? “I think what most impressed me was his ability to have consistent, three-dimensional backgrounds, machines and characters.
