To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

I went through my copies of the IDW Ditko book and the Taschen XXL ASM collections to find all the pieces of original art that aren't in the recent Spidey Artist's Edition and I've identified fifteen pages. First up is page 5 from Amazing Spider-Man #6.

Original art for page 5 of Amazing Spider-Man #6 by Steve Ditko.

Chapter 10 of my graphic novel about Marvel Comics is a bit of a mess. Too long. Too many flashbacks and flash forwards… I tried to cut and reorganize for a while now. Im not pleased with it. I’m gonna wait a few weeks before trying to rewrite and restoryboard. Restart fresh

I wonder who between Bagley and JRjr has drawn the most Spidey comics.

At #Marvel at the time, the writer didn’t script everything panel by panel. The writer really sets a direction,then, the artist builds the actual sequence. After the artist handles the co-writing &drawing part, the writer would add the dialogue. #gerryconway

Gerry Conway passed away. Here's part of his co-plot for #Ironman #39. At the time of his writing, he thought he'd work with artist George Tuska. Herb Trimpe ended up being his collaborator on it. This one page plot would translate to about 9 pages of comicbook. Written around Dec 1970. #marvel

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

When I’m writing I think I’m looking for a feeling I had as a kid that comics were made by giants. (and then you grow up, and you realize… no, they were made by people who needed rent money argh argh)

Oh, ok I remember what I wanted to say. When I was writing ghosts of marvel comics vol 1, I had in mind the documentary “reprise” by Hervé Leroux. Research done with care, humility and in a really humane way.

I’m trying to have a clear ethic: i don’t sensationalize, i don’t rush to be first, and i try not to put myself at the center of the subject. That last one is the hardest part, so much so I decided to do a little separate journal of my experience working on that marvel history GN

About doing a documentary graphic novel: I like filmmakers like Raymond Depardon or Claire Simon, comics artists like Emmanuel Guibert. Good observers & listeners . They don’t overwrite the lives they portray. They create smthing that honors complexity+ leaves room for silence.

I feel that’s one of the reasons I chose a cartoony style over realism. it keeps a certain distance. You’re always aware that this is constructed (you can see the seams, as I do often say) at the same time, it still has to feel real enough to step into.

Trying to rephrase : a comicbook gives confidence to something that was full of doubt. I’m trying to be perfectly accurate in my work, but maybe the job isn’t to be perfectly accurate. It’s maybe to be precise enough for the reader to step in and accept the version you’re showing

the moment you draw something, it freezes. In my Marvel graphic novel, I sometimes take something uncertain & turn it into something you can see. It’s not the truth (can’t be ) it’s just one version. But once it’s on the page, it feels stable and too real

comic do something very specific: they stop things. IRL, everything moves all the time, memories shift, stories change, details will depend on who’s talking.

On the process of rereading and correcting: sometimesI go back to sequences I wrote years ago. I recognize the sentences, but I don’t remember writing them. it’s like reading someone else’s work!!

I thought back in 2017 the hard part would be finding new things/documents. It wasn’t. The hard part is deciding what to cut

I’ve taken pages out and still have the last chapter to write (60 pages!) but so far Volume 2 will be about 40 pages longer that vol 1.
