The moment I saw the name of who was being interviewed, I was excited to check it out. Give him a gift or something and do a longer one of these!

I bought that! Cool stuff! Bruce is cool!

These interviews are so valuable. Damn it's such a shame that so many of the greatest never put down for the ages similar extended interviews. Entertaining and interesting stuff. Thank you.🧏‍♂️

I've met Zen, and he was always nice to me in our brief messaging to each other. Great interview!

It's inspiring to hear the story behind the Free Comic Book Day! Thanks for sharing this awesome journey!

Many thanks to this man 😉 👏

I just bought a comic with signatures of Tom Fagan and others. Comic book is Detective comics #145. Awesome to hear about this guy!

😃👍

Thank you for this interview. It's always great hearing what the artists have to say. Cheers, love Ron's work. 🔥🔥🔥🤩🤩

I borrowed several compilations of the early Popeye comics from the public library. I also read some of the early Popeye comics, including his first appearance, on Hoopla, which is a book-reading app that you can get with your library membership. The early Popeye comics are fun to read. One of my favorite characters is Castor Oyl, who, unfortunately, stopped being a regular character sometime in the early thirties.

Thank you for this, it was trully great to watch. 🔥🔥😊😊🤩🤩👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Cant go wrong with big J, Avengers and Surfer for me. Lovely to see this, do wish we had many more interviews with him. ❤

Great job!! ❤❤❤Thanks for posting this!!

Unchecked fandom is fanaticism that distorts history. As a comics collector since the early eighties me and fellow collector loved Ditko as a creator and collected all his comics but we fcuking hated his art. He was a legend but among folks like Adam's and Steranko all the way up to Jim Lee or Todd McFarlain he was never ranked among the best artists. So by all means go on stage and says he was an amazing creator and legend, but from the time you say you love his art we know you're a fraud 😂

How dudes handling AF15 at 3:22

Brilliant.

None of the above. Who created Marvel? Stan's uncle, Martin Goodman.

Just rewatching this interview. John Romita was the model professional, generous with praise, modest, and thoughtful. No wonder his son did so well in the industry, I think we all would with Romita Sr as our father.

The irony as what Steve Ditko believed in went against what Marvel (Disney) is pushing out. Ditko would dismantle Marvel for not having his objectivist ideology incorporated

Glad to see he’s getting the justice he deserves. Credit where credit is due

Love it!!!! Thanks Alex!!!

Finally ! Justice always come!

My all time favorite artist I bought anything Steve Ditko plot and created.

😎👍 EC , always an interesting period in comics history Alex. I've always looked at it as the company that almost changed the cultural consciousness. True , every company was imitating their horror material but eventually " horror fatigue" would have set in and they would have been scrutinized by their imitators for something fresh to be imitated. What was possibly going to be copied was their social innovation of racial identity ; as had appeared in their shock suspense and war titles and in their now classic sci-fi story Judgement Day. I'm still of the opinion that the horror books were an undeniable factor in the controversy but not the real main concern that racial inclusion was , unacknowledged but evident as we shall see. The parents and other adult campaigners of today's MAGA followers could not allow this to happen so the campaign to " clean up" comic books ensued and if one gives close attention to characters of the now code established period it will be quite noticeable that minority characters , when they did get the opportunity to appear , were comfortably established as either foreigners , despite the reality of diversity in society , or throwbacks to acceptable imagery. EC however was not alone in racial inclusion ; Harvey introduced Tiny, a non stereotypical African-American in 1953 as a close companion to Little Audrey and Melvin , who not only appeared on covers but shared interior stories with them as well as having his own back up feature. EC would have gone from being known as Entertaining Comics to Encouraging Competitors.

A bit more colorful. Love this.

so much love for this guy

Jim Steranko mentioned my great uncle James Wong Howe at 1:47 who was the cinematographer on "Sweet Smell of Success. "

Alex Grand. You've done it again. Good interview by you and your mate. I'm about to read the book. I'm very interested in the life of Lev Gleeson and the original DAREDEVIL I'm just discovering Erik Larson's Daredevil stories in Savage Dragon.

Top of the heap - 1930s and 1940s - a pulp starring The Spider, which publisher Stan Lee handed off to Steve Ditko, who made Spider-Man out of it all.

He needs a better wig

So when is the blu-ray of this cool deal coming out for us consumers? Or is there not enough usable material to fill an interview or mini-bio type disc?

Every wolf like character has that hair. Beast has the same hair too.

The whole panel was really interesting.

A true legend

💕🖤 LOVE THE RUDE DUDE💜💕

He looks spot on as the classic Peter Parker.

The creator of Phantom Stranger

Good to see everyone, but the audio from the panel is way too distorted.

Goat!

It's great to see both old and new EC in this year's comic con.

Was it Guido Crepax that Groth mentioned at the end of the video? Cause the transcript is horrible.

Like many of my generation, i didnt have the New Gods on my radar reading wise untill AFTER the 1st Star Wars trilogy was seen. But once I did start reading it I found my self smirking and sighing , smirking and sighing. Immediately suspicious. It Does not sit well. Lucas should have been a bit more vocal about this. I dont want to be negative or a bummer but I find this a disturbing (ahem) coincidence.

Has George Lucas ever mentioned too obvious to ignore influences?

The less delusional pioneers that understood it was a job however you felt about it and that business is a reality not an option.

Character is destiny.

Hitting Captions in your settings is a must on this one.

Master

I too scrounged returnable bottles for comic book money, but in the early 1970s

Solid.
