#757 "Nemesis the Warlock"

Deconstructing Comics ·

2022/12/14

Kumar and Matt E celebrate the life and work of Kevin O'Neill with a look back at his breakout work on Nemesis The Warlock in 2000 A.D. with writer Pat Mills. O'Neill's art very style in itself is shocking and intense, and the storytelling seems to approach everything backwards, but somehow it all comes together to create an unnerving and riveting sci-fi experience.

#756 "Tokyo Rose - Zero Hour"

Deconstructing Comics ·

2022/11/30

If you're at all aware of Tokyo Rose, it's most likely simply as a woman heard over a radio in a movie set in World War II. But who was she, how did she end up in that situation, and what was the result for the war effort and for her? Tokyo Rose- Zero Hour is a new graphic novel by Andre Frattino and Kate Kasenow that fills us in on Iva Toguri, a Japanese-American woman who, under very odd circumstances, found herself working at Radio Tokyo during the war.

FLASHBACK! While this podcast has covered the odd League of Extraordinary Gentlemen book here and there, no one has dared think of trying to discuss all of Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's series in one episode... until now! Kumar and Dana take on the task, with special attention paid to Black Dossier (and the record that was recorded for it), the Century trilogy, and the injustice that Kumar feels was done to Volume 2 way back in 2006, episode 21!

#753 Kirby's Fourth World: "Old Gods and New"

Deconstructing Comics ·

2022/10/19

John Morrow is co-founder of Two Morrows Publishing, a company that owes its start to John's interest in Jack Kirby. His Kirby fan newsletter grew into the company that's now publishing his history of Kirby's Fourth World, much of it told in Jack's own words: Old Gods and New. This time, Emmet talks with John about Marvel's fear that DC would end them after Kirby switched sides, how distribution quirks may have led to the premature end of the Fourth World books, how myth runs through all of Kirby's

What are the people like on the other side of the mountain? Are there any there? Where does the stuff, the objects, the food we enjoy in our daily lives come from?

#751 Rachel Pollack's "Doom Patrol"

Deconstructing Comics ·

2022/10/05

In the mid-'90s, Grant Morrison's innovative run on Doom Patrol was followed by that of Rachel Pollack, who took advantage of Morrison's legacy, the greatest variety of sexual minority characters of any mainstream comic at the time, to express her feelings about being trans and a lesbian herself. Her run also examines a number of standard comic book tropes. This run, which was far ahead of its time, has been unavailable in a collection for some time, but these issues (64 to 87) are finally to be

#750 Jack Kirby's "The Demon"

Deconstructing Comics ·

2022/09/28

After leaving DC's Jimmy Olsen book, Jack Kirby needed something else to keep his monthly page count up to the level he had contracted for. One of the books he came up with was The Demon, the result of his being asked to do a "monsters and mystery" book. But Kirby didn't have a lot of interest in that genre; was that to the disadvantage of the book, or to its advantage? Tim and Emmet discuss this 16-issue series.

Suzanne Lenglen was a trendsetting tennis star in the 1920s, among the first to challenge the notion that tennis players had to be amateurs, running themselves into debt to keep competing, in order to participate in tournaments. Tom Humberstone's first full-length graphic novel Suzanne: The Jazz Age Goddess of Tennis, soon to be released, is a finely honed work of historical fiction on her life and influence. Tim and Jason review the book in this episode; then, Tim interviews Humberstone about the
