The wartime life of Aquaman artist/co-creator Paul Norris, with a Golden/Silver Age gallery of art featuring Aquaman, Flash Gordon, Brick Bradford, and other fabulous heroes of comic books and strips - plus the story of Willie Ito, who endured the WWII Japanese-American relocation centers to become a Disney & Warner Bros. animator and to draw such comicbooks/strips as Pogo, Winnie the Pooh, Beany and Cecil, and more.
COMIC BOOK CREATOR #25
(W) Various (A) Various (CA) M NODELL G KANE; T AUSTIN
Comic Book Creator features "The Return of the Storyteller," as we conduct an in-depth discussion with the legendary comic book artist and illustrator Barry Windsor-Smith about his mammoth new graphic novel, Monsters, a tour de force decades in the making! We delve into the epic's origin as an Incredible Hulk one-shot back in the mid-1980s and its subsequent evolution into perhaps BWS's magnum opus, a 300-plus page saga about rage, revenge, and forgiveness. Also included is a gallery of rare out-takes from Monsters.
