An original page from the LOBISOMEM #comic from #Brazil. It is a weird, wild #creaturefeature that wonderfully plays with the #werewolf mythos. Perfect for your #pulplibrary.

Work-in-progress cover for WEREWOLF (LOBISOMEM) - a Brazilian comic I am translating. Created by writer Gedeone Malagola and artist Sérgio Lima. This is a 512 hardcover with 24 stories and editorial in it. If you remember Eerie Publications then you'll get the bloodthirsty vibe.

I've been diving into it in ribs and crabs, and have come to a practical understanding it's a tool in the right hands and a "dumb stick" in those that don't care to actually master it. I am concerned w/ the environmental concerns and think data centers need regulations.

If you've given thought to making #kids #television then this is must-read material on today's #kidstv landscape - it is a different way of thinking.

Then there are the repackaging jobs - a new take on a classic novel, a way to repackage romance comics, a mashup of an action paperback, and a translation and re-marketing of an international pulp classic. It's a great way to play and develop new ideas. #upcycle #rethink #pulpculture

And I work up all sorts of books for all sorts of reasons. WARRIOR BORN showcases a recent Ron Lesser piece. TARZAN showcases an older fan painting by Don Newton, or a revised cigarette ad, or a trashy pornographic horror movie poster. A picture is worth 1000 words. #bookdevelopment

#FauxPulp #Covers #BookDesign Book development often takes the form of play. Nothing final, but just an indication of what the cover MIGHT look like sitting on the spinner rack or shelf. Inspiration can come from anywhere - posters, ads, or just an idea brought into A.I. The idea is the thing...

@bobdeis.bsky.social has received his print proof of MAQ #15, but of course, mine is still in transit. 😢

You can pre-order a SIGNED MAQ 15 so you don't miss out. The link is here: bit.ly/OrderMAQ15

half the fun (for me) is the shameless entrepreneurial nature of these movies. "Horror is hot so we will shoot a horror movie on our Betacam, and release it Direct 2 Video." Has all the marks of a Mickey Rooney - Judy Garland "Let's put on a show!" But with lots more blood... and some boobs.

This is another of the Tulsa, OK regional films, right?

Down South, they call baby boys "Bubba." A term of endearment and recognition of (future) girth.

@johnrogers.bsky.social Happiest of birthdays to you, sir! May you get all the pens, notebooks, and watches you desire...

Today is the birthday of writer & editor Bill Parker (Sept. 11, 1911-Jan. 31, 1963), cocreator of the original Captain Marvel, Spy Smasher, and other heroes of Fawcett Comics.

Whiz Comics #35 (1942). The cover by C.C. Beck features Captain Marvel & Spy Smasher standing next to each other.

They don't make 'em like this anymore - both posters and movies.

AIP had their syndicated package and Universal had theirs. Universal was 1st and everyone saw how much success they had w/ Dracula, Frankenstein & their 50s SciFi. AIP imported and dubbed a bunch of stuff - not only movies, but kids TV as series well - Johnny Socko and his Flying Robot for one.

They were staples of local UHF TV stations. I imagine they part of a syndicated package of movies.

I didn't do those, but FM and Fangoria and Cinemagic with the occasional foray into other mags. I never liked Cracked or Sick. I read Mad for awhile but moved on as I grew up.

Saw this and said, "I'll have to check this out." For me, the simplicity of the design is the major win here. As a thumbnail online, it's easy to read and understand - which is half the battle whether it's a book, comic or movie. You want your viewer to get it.

The more trivial the factoid the more it is embedded in my gray matter. It's my superpower, and I do really well on pub trivia nights. Seriously tho, check out Rebello's book on the making of Psycho, Gives you a whole new appreciation for the movie & the moviemaker(s).

I seem to recall (sarcasm intended) that when Hitchcock made PSYCHO he recruited his TV crew to make the movie precisely because they were lean, efficient, and had a body of knowledge and experience making hundreds of hours of TV.
