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.

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

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!

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.
