This would make a great series but for other creators like Steve Ditko, Harvey Pekar, Wally Wood...
I loved Tom's Kirby comics on Instagram. I almost thought of them as a public service, given how insightful they were. Super excited to see the whole thing in print. Can't wait!
"If the entire publishing industry collapses..."
Jheez, very prescient of Tom
I'm so glad Tom is doing this! I'm a huge fan of several Kirby-esque guys, but there's something infinitely sweeter about Tom doing this - knowing that this is a project he's pouring every ounce of himself into.
I know I’ve repeated myself a few times with this sentiment but I fucking love how you guys talk business and don’t shy away from just straight talk. Congratulations Tom! Let’s hope all this fame Ed is promising still allows you to hang out on future episodes.
This is wonderful to see and here. Love the fact that Tom gets to tell the story he is meant to tell and probably most qualified to do.
I also love Ed’s natural tendency to look out for his brethren and share what he has learned. He seems to understand that you can’t keep knowledge unless you share it and you don’t get better by just “knowing”, but rather knowing AND doing/taking action. After all it’s #makemorecomix! Beautiful
Just bought it at comic shop, AWESOME!
Most anticipated book of 2020. I love how obviously excited and proud Ed is of Tom.
Liked Scioli's attitude that even if it all fell apart on this thing, the journey was worth everything learnt doing it.
Tom's a cool dude (as a fellow long-hair, I salute you, sir!) who unsurprisingly knows his Kirby. So I'm sure he's aware of the article Stan Taylor wrote in The Jack Kirby Collector, "Spider-Man: The Case for Jack Kirby." We all know about Stan and Jack's spotty memories, which I always attributed to Jack’s claim of creating Spider-Man, but Mr. Taylor examined that claim not through what the Holy Trio have said about it, but through researching their past work and comparing it to not only Spidey's origin story but to the first several issues of the series. And his findings (which he himself wasn't expecting) was that the guy who'd done previous stories with the most corresponding elements-plots, powers, gadgetry, character traits and motivations, supporting characters, villains, you name it-was none other than the King. Yes, the series quickly evolved into a superhero soap opera that was purely Lee and Ditko, but during that first year when it was still finding its way? That, according to Taylor’s meticulous, unbiased research, had Jack’s fingerprints all over it. THWIP!
Love your guys’ channel since I discovered it, it’s opened my eyes to so many comics and so much history that I knew little to nothing about. Keep up the good work!
I'm really excited to see this passion project come to life! The advice about 'the pitch' is a great resource which I'll channel into my own book.
Yes! I followed this book on Insta and so excited it's getting a physical publication!
Such a good interview. Very interesting tidbits. Can't wait for this book to come out. Best of luck to Tom!!
Ooo, great idea. Can we get you guys with Scioli riffing on some Fourth World pages at some point?
Ed’s a hell of a cool friend to have!
I know now what i am gonna ask for christmas NEXT YEAR. Thanks for this, TOM!
Congrats Tom! I'm really looking forward to this!
Jack Kirby: Grand Design (by Tom Scioli). This is the ultimate.
Love it. I really want them to do a post-game interview on the book with Tom.
My most anticipated book for 2020. Congrats, Tom! Right man for the job.
Ordered.
Ditko seems a fairly reliable narrator of the Spider-Man genesis. He wrote an essay in Robin Snyder's the Comics newsletter wherein he drew a sketch of his memory of Kirby's design and some of the reasons Kirby's version didn't make the cut. The essay was reprinted in an early issue of the new Alter Ego, but if you're a Ditko fan, Snyder and Ditko put out a thick (over 200 page) collection of Ditko comics and essays called Avenging World (not to be confused with the regular sized Ditko comic, though it does contain those comics pages). Lots of interesting and contrarian opinions on ownership and creativity... and Snyder's still out there, selling Ditko zines.
Stan Lee jacking Sterenko' s style is a hilarious observation
Wow. Great interview. Love the energy.
love it. King Kirby Forever.
So hyped for this!!! Just pre-ordered!
Love listening to these Kirby related videos. He’s so overshadowed in the main stream by Stanley
What’s the book called btw? I wanna check it out
I swear by the Ticonderoga. Check out the Ticonderoga Medium #2.5 "F" pencil if the standard #2 is too soft and dark for you. It's the best pencil on the planet
@@marcuskelligrew9186 Hell yeah!
See Sammy Run!! Bud Schulberg, the legendary screenwriter of two of the greatest movies of all time: On the Waterfront and A Face in the Crowd! So cool that Jack was hip to that - and hipping others to it!
FUCK YEAH. Been waiting for this.
Congrats Tom! You're doing the work of the Gods!
Great news, Tom! Congratulations!
Oh man. This is delightful.
He's the perfect man to do this job.
Tom dropping the Kah-Knowledge. Top marks
This was so great!
Congrats Tom.
Congrats Tom!!
Amazing news! A few of us with "Ringside Seats" figured this all out awhile back but still tried to keep it, "Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush..."
Well...more like your speculations were correct.
Yeah, my comments in the group were definitely more akin to Fantasy football betting than any real Woodward and Bernstein sheet, no doubt. HA!
