Marvel Con '75 through a ten year old's eyes!

-
To be clear, photos with this kid are from Will Alovis! Thanks, Will!
Ken and I had a hoot talking about adventure as a ten year old at Marvel Con '75, the first hosted by Marvel Comics Group. Did he meet STan? Did he pose with Red Sonja? Did he put his face in a cut-out? The pictures tell the tale...but why not listen to Ken himself? Look him up on imdb for a big smile, too. He's a massive Submariner fan, has some great Golden Age comics you'll never pry from his cold cybernetic hands, and was a big fan of Hulk, Spidey and The Thing back in those classic times, too. I have more of our audio I think I'll spring on you one day where we talk fan stuff and a bit about his career. And Harold, I almost have our interview ready, too! I had like two hours to wade through but I have almost isolated the Marvel Con stuff. I see a conglomerate Marvel Con podcast coming in March where I put out the other stuff from everyone with whom I spoke...and if I could find the host of the Movie Nights, Captain...Itchy, was it?



It was the year Jack was Back. And Stan, Roy and the Bullpen were everywhere, and that's fact! Ken donated many pictures more, but I'm saving a few just for the BAck Issue article, too!
Some of Ken, Harold Parker, and Will Alvois' great photos...

Good to be back from the holidays! Here's how I spent some of the time, along with writing a new song and helping fix things around the house and oh yea, even some partying and games and good eats.

      Sure! I think this will do it. https://creatingmarvels.podbean.com/e/marvel-con-75-with-hollywood-sound-guy-ken-segal/ I often do put in a direct download link but this stupid blog's coding is making the addresses I copy appear but not be 'actionable' so they have to be copied again into the browser. I figured it out once before...

The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition- this day, 1985!

-

Thirty three years ago, today! (That is, August 27th, 1985) Oh, the stories these opened up for me. Alphabetically, fans could find every character still living who'd made at least three appearances, as well as many brand new lights. Origins, major life events, stories from twenty-five years of great Marvel continuity. You could even find out how tall, how heavy, or what color eyes the character should have, which sort of personalizes them and makes them all the more easy to imagine. You could find some description of every single power a character has, and often, see an Eliot R. Brown- illustrated blueprint for their best known weapons, vehicles, and acoutrement. But what could ever be more fuel for debate than : STrength Level! I was eleven when the series started, so of course I still found this part cool and interesting. Fans have been debating the strength levels of their favorite heroes and villains since comics began, so here was the sometimes controversial but ...

Eminem's Rap God sample: that's Captain America and the Falcon, from Power Records!

What do Eminem and most Integr8d Fix readers have in common? Comic books, man. As a boy, I had two Power Records, a brand that released dramatized versions of comic books on 45 rpm, complete with a book sampling most of the comic's artwork. The first was a stand-alone Superman adventure I think was written by Elliot S! Maggin, where aliens fell to earth in the form of silver-hued bullets. The second one, I only had the record, but it was intense: Captain America and the Falcon confront the mystery of The Phoenix, a man whose thirst for revenge is born from Cap's battles in the world war before his frozen suspension. I didn't get hooked on Eminem's 2013 release "Rap God" until I was putting together a hip hop playlist this September. Not unlike when Anj and I discovered Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre back in college, I was wrestling with an angry mood over someone who cheated me of recording time after I gave up eleven Sundays of my life to give...his initials ...

Lost World of Apes: the Bili and Mangani

-
Image
Mangani is the name of a fictional species of great apes in the Tarzan novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and of the invented language used by these apes. In the invented language, Mangani (meaning "great-ape") is the apes' word for their own kind, although the term is also applied (with modifications) to humans. The Mangani are represented as the apes who foster and raise Tarzan. Dr. Peter Coogan wrote a page on the synthetic language created for the Mangani and Tarzan, provided here in pdf: http://www.pjfarmer.com/woldnewton/Mangani.pdf The language of the great apes of Africa that Edgar Rice Burroughs depicts in the Tarzan novels is not some simple, made-up collection of sounds substituting for English. It is a representation of a deeply structured, complex linguistic sign system with a grammar and syntax of its own. This grammar has never been worked out because its last living native speakers (with the exception of Tarzan himself) went extinct in the last century. Unfor...
