Coffee and Conversation at DAP<\/p><\/div>\n

An excuse: Well, it’s been a week of nothing but Brian Chippendale and CF for me. I just put the boys in a cab to JFK and tonight they will be at Floating World Comics<\/a> in Portland OR, for a party and interview with Matt Fraction. Tomorrow night they’ll be at Family<\/a> in Los Angeles. Let me say this: Their slide shows are pretty damn great, and not to be missed. It goes on… Just to keep the fun going, here are a couple brand new interviews with Chippendale at Inkstuds<\/a> and Arthur<\/a>. Compare and contrast and see if he contradicts or repeats himself. Try it at home!<\/p>\n

An item: I direct your attention over to Same Hat<\/a>, where CC pal Ryan Holmberg is doing some group research on Lone Wolf and Cub writer Koike Kazuo. Apparently he also wrote a Hulk comic book for the Japanese market in the 1970s. I would like to read that.<\/p>\n

A recommendation: I love Denys Wortman’s New York<\/a>. It’s a beautifully produced book of this forgotten cartoonist’s vivid NYC-observed cartoons. The drawings are nuanced and yet amazingly muscular and gritty. I’d never seen the work before and found myself completely absorbed in Wortman’s bygone world. Great drawings and a great historical presentation by James Sturm and Brandon Elston. Kudos to D&Q for supporting such a wonderful project. There is a an exhibition on now at The Museum of the City of New York<\/a>, which I look forward to checking out asap.<\/p>\n

End on a stupid note: A very brief “Dapper Dan\u2019s SuperMovies Column”: Let me just say: The Green Lantern trailer totally blows, except for the monster dude that looks like the Elephant Man. That part is cool. But does everything have to be a wise cracking hunk who grows up and finds responsibility? It’s creepy! And why are ALL sci-fi sets seemingly designed by the same boring people? I want more architectural phalluses and glistening drops of liquid, not boring faux-cities. Well, the boys and I hold out hope for Darren Aronofsky’s Wolverine movie. That should be good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
