The Comic Book Greats, hosted by Stan Lee, was a documentary series produced by Stabur Home Video from 1991 to 1992. In each episode, Stan Lee interviewed a different comic book artist.
As far as I know, the series was only released in VHS format and has been unavailable for some time. The user iDraw has several episodes of The Comic Book Greats split into parts and posted on his YouTube page.
The Masters of Comic Book Art documentary, which was originally available on VHS in 1987, is now available in it’s entirety on YouTube. The hour long program is narrated by Harlan Ellison. Ellison also provides commentary in between the artist segments. This is a wonderful piece of comic book history as we get to hear the legendary artists talk about their creations.
The Masters of Comic Book Art features interviews with Will Eisner, Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Neal Adams, Berni Wrightson, (Jean Giraud) Moebius, Frank Miller, David Sim, and Art Spiegelman.
Since it was released last week, The Avengers movie trailer has been seen by just about everyone who isn’t living under a rock, and I’m sure half of those rock dwellers have seen it also. Some have seen it often enough to give it the swede treatment.
Along come a group of people – Roque Rodriguez, Brandon Carrera, Bryan Harley, Travis Sheridan, Tommy Brand, Chloe Tatro, John Rios, and Andrew Toschi – who decide they’re going to recreate the original trailer, albeit on a smaller budget.
If, for some reason, you haven’t seen The Avengers trailer, you can watch it below.
