Hold on tight as historian Christopher Irving explores the origins of the first on-screen superheroes and the comic creators and film-makers who brought them to life. CLIFFHANGER! touches on the early days of the film serial, to its explosion as a juvenile medium of the 1930s and '40s. See how the creation of characters like Superman, Captain America, Spy Smasher, and Captain Marvel dovetailed with the early film adaptations. Along the way, you'll meet the stuntmen, directors (Spencer Bennett, William Witney, producer Sam Katzman), comic book creators (Siegel & Shuster, Simon & Kirby, Bob Kane, C.C. Beck, Frank Frazetta, Will Eisner), and actors (Buster Crabbe, George Reeves, Lorna Gray, Kane Richmond, Kirk Alyn, Dave O'Brien) who brought them to the silver screen.

All new! All grue! It's the long-awaited sequel to author/designer Mark Voger's Rondo Award-winning book “Monster Mash: The Creepy, Kooky Monster Craze in America 1957-1972” which redefined Monster Kid fandom with a visually immersive graphic approach. This companion book revisits the period, while examining its literary and cinematic roots of its fictional precedents (Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein,” Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”); early silent films (“Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,” “Nosferatu”); the golden age of monster movies (with such stars as Lon Chaney Sr., Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff and Chaney Jr.); the 3-D and teenage monster movie trends; the Edgar Allan Poe adaptations and Hammer Studios releases of the period; the monsters of Sixties TV; the eye-popping toys, memorabilia and comics; and the aftermath of the influential Monster Craze. It features interviews with filmmakers such as Ray Harryhausen (“20 Million Miles to Earth”), Roger Corman (“The Pit and the Pendulum”), and stars like Gloria Stuart (“The Invisible Man”), Ricou Browning (“Creature From the Black Lagoon”), Haruo Nakajima (“Godzilla”), Jonathan Haze (“Little Shop of Horrors”), Hazel Court (“Curse of Frankenstein”), Kathryn Leigh Scott (“House of Dark Shadows”), Robert Quarry (“Count Yorga, Vampire”) and many others. No monster fan should be without this treasure trove of terror! (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

In 1978, DC Comics implemented a bold initiative to combat plummeting sales: Give readers more story pages with a higher cover price, to better compete on newsstands. This 'DC Explosion' brought with it many creative new titles, but just weeks after its launch, they pulled the plug, cancelling numerous titles and leaving stacks of completed comic book stories unpublished. It quickly became known as 'The DC Implosion', and TwoMorrows Publishing delves into one of the most notorious events in comics with an exhaustive oral history from the creators involved (Jenette Kahn, Paul Levitz, Len Wein, Mike Gold, and others), plus detailed analysis of how it changed the landscape of comics forever!
