Also, damn...a whole list of legends. Eisner, Ditko, Kirby, Moebius. And they're all being introduced by Harlan Ellison! I'm in for a treat.

As far as I know, it's still the only recording Ditko ever did.

Thanks for sharing that!

Great documentary but too bad John Byrne & George Perez weren't included

good ...1

When you read that Jack Kirby did no layouts or draft scripts before creating each comic you realize he was a genius. When you hear what he thought comics could be, one day , you realize he was prophetic. Still the greatest American comic book artist ever.

✨❤✨😻✨❤✨🤗

This is pure gold. Thanks

Watched again, 5 yrs later and this has got to be the best collection of comic artists ever. Only one missing from my list is Frazetta

Wow Ditko was DEEP in that Ayn Rand mumbo jumbo

Originally had this on VHS and watched it at least 100 times. The insights from everyone is amazing, esp. Ditko and Kirby.

Eisner was my cartooning teacher, he never once stopped admiring himself in class.

This is amazing, and having Harlan is the cherry on top. I gotta say though that Ditko's Ayn Rand proselytizing was off-putting.

Does anyone know if this documentary ever happened?

Hello every one I have lots of comic character and cerachtor ideas but I need a platform and a chance to explore my unique art work in the 🌎

Top notch film! Thank you.

If you go to about the 20th minute into this video, you actually hear Steve Ditko’s voice as he narrates his thoughts on the human persona, right vs wrong, hero vs villain & many other philosophical ideas Ditko lived by. Ditko was an extreme recluse! Very few pictures of him exist. He never went to any comic shows, EVER! Her wanted nothing to do with Spider-Man after he left Marvel. He was a forward thinker & would never dwell on the past. Interesting guy!

Cartoonists Kayfabe brought me here!

Each of these Men had THERE own personal way to talk to You. Met them all the only one was who CHANGED WAS MR.ADAM. Knew him when he was a fanboy.Loved Your Work. THEY WILL BE MISSED. BUT they will live forever in there ARTWORK and AND STORIES.

God...where is his collection now?

Mr. A and Two Face seems alike with their views on who lives or who dies kind of scenario by letting either a card with two different sides of color as opposed to a two sided coin with one head of the coin scratched off, to determin the fate of one individual. Wow what similarities these characters are. Kirby's art with his machines in comics are intresting and cool looking, especially his idea of Galactus being a god as for Silver Surfer a cherubim angel whom in the Bible God had created in the book of Ezekiel, which to me is the origin story of Lucifer and how he was created by God and how his iniquity was found in him by God, which led to Lucifer to have fallen from heaven. Haven't read or owned DCs New Gods by Kirby, but might as well pick up a copy because of his art and story. Never gave much thought or care, but just to shift a change to what's out there to give it a chance to learn about the comicbook would probably change my mind to be able to enjoy something new and different. Cool comic history and take from all of these great artists in the interviews. Comes to show that we as comicbook readers and collectors we cannot take this hobby for granted and to appreciate what is given to us as fans of the hobby to enjoy and like to what inspires us as a community to the hobby. Cool interviews and review of this classic video.

Amazing to see and hear these artists in their prime. Some are no longer with us, so it's nice to have this record.

Also country, blues, rock and roll, and hot rods

Ditko really needed therapy.

David Sim craps on escapism and advocating talking heads but then goes on to talk about his cartoon aardvark who’s a barbarian, tax collector and pope. He just comes off as pretentious to me.

It's a shame that this was made after Wally Wood died. He is easily one of the best, if not the best artist, the comic book medium gave us and should be recognized as such.

The host isn’t wedged up his own arse is he?

What a great documentary! I am very familiar with all these creators and their work but their insight and approach to the medium makes me admire them even more. My greatest surprise was Bernie Wrightson - not what I pictured at all!

Absolute Masters Geniuses made Comics As Good as they were So many Fantastic Comics📙💭There Art was So Beautiful even while having to deal with editors and writers giving them a bit of trouble sometimes worse I wish there were more American Indian Comics there were So many Cowboy ones and for what American Indians were in it it wasn't Accurate sometimes laughable

Wow I had this vhs tape way back when. I had forgotten all about it

Where are Russ Manning and Burne Hogarth?

Very kool ⚡️⚡️

Ellison - fragile ego.

what moebius said hit good

This is Better than a woke comics!

26:29 Rest In Peace, Neal Adams. 1941-2022

Why is the narrator smoking lol

I just love the different perspectives in comic art!! Its extreme most the time and I love it..

Action-packed and stylish art is what we'll always reconnect with thanks to the king and unique experts to bringing message-filled stories to visual life.🎯✏💪🏾💥☀️ Stay safe everyone!

The minute Harlan Ellison appears you know this is going to be REALLY great.

Wow, they have the *great* Harlan Ellison hosting. For those who don't know, Ellison wrote several episodes of the Twilight Zone and was a very prolific short story/sci fi writer. Ellison was famously ripped off his whole life, mostly by James Cameron, especially the Terminator. Check him out.

I like Hawkman. Who created him?

This is a comic book icon of good old day............................

Did Frank Miller ever come up with his take on how comic art should be done better here 30+ years later?

Is this and the trailer all that we have of the documentary? Was it stillborn?

I found the most modesty from the MASTER MOEBIUS, oh why is the Universe so cruel that I cannot meet the man, his work is a blessing to humanity and sequential art.

This was one of the most educational videos I've ever seen. Thank you so much for the upload.

this is amazing thank you! Is there a DVD I can buy for this? A transcript? A book?

Those two blue aliens are creepy.

I've never read a Will Eisner book yet. I like Miller but I hear he didn't 'get' The Spirit, try as he might.
