Comic Book Creator

The artistry of Graham Nolan! A career-spanning interview with the co-creator of Batman's back-breaking nemesis, Bane, from Graham's Kubert School start to recent Compass Comics titles, including The Chenoo and Alien Alamo! There's also an art gallery of his Monster Island projects, The Phantom newspaper strip, and his Darknight Detective collaborations with writer Chuck Dixon! Plus, we spotlight "Marvel's Great Folly of 1972," where Stan Lee and the whole blamed Bullpen put on a notorious and near-catastrophic stage production at Carnegie Hall. Then it's Part One of a look at cartoonist Frank Borth, on his Funnies, Inc. beginnings, producing Quality Comics masterpieces, and his friendship with Reed Crandall, and more. Plus a 1974 trade journal article on the DC Comics Production Department and their Famous First Edition treasury editions. And Greg Biga talks with Dan Didio, former DC Comics co-publisher, on his latest endeavor as publisher of Frank Miller's current comics line, Frank Miller Presents, and his creating the new title, Ancient Enemies. Plus the usual excellence from the CBC bullpen! Edited by Jon B. Cooke.
