I remember how badly I wanted to attend the kubert school of cartoon and cinematic animation back in the 90's. Couldn't afford it as a south African, so glad I could at least watch a a short interview with this giant in the industry.
Every word that he has said is the truth. Attending the school was one of the greatest things I ever did in my life. Rest in Peace, Joe Kubert. Everything you've ever said to me, and my fellow creator meant more then you will ever know.
The marvelous thing about Joe Kubert is that he continued to grow throughout his long career. Yossel, to name one title, is an example of this. Of course, he'll also be known for his school. I'm old enough to think of Kubert when I think of Hawkman. I'm sad to think he's gone---until I remember he left so much wonderful work for us to enjoy over and over. Thanks Joe.
I went to art school for years. Years later I was an actor and during my training I was introduced to writing. I started writing scripts, lots of crap because I didn't really understand how stories worked. I recently wrote a horror story that is ready to sell, and it struck me that I could turn this into a graphic novel.
Joe had a beautiful style that I didn't appreciate until my adult years. He was a true master of his craft, and by all accounts, seemed to be a genuine human being. RIP, Joe.
When Joe is talking about writing the story out before drawing is something I had to learn the hard way. I was drawing out the story, while trying to write it out before I had the ending figured out! I am working on a series for a children's book and am writing the four books out before I even begin to illustrate the books.
What a great interview with the humble genius Joe Kubert. You really cared by asking great questions and allowing him to eloquently answer them. You are to be commended. Many interviewers could learn from your video!
R.I.P. Joe Kubert. Thanks for some amazing art and stories over the years. The information conveyed in this clip should be required listening for a good many so-called professionals in today's industry because very few of them can be described as storytellers; they're mainly poster boys - every panel is a poster, doing nothing to advance the story, or evoke mood, tension and so on. A bit like an MTV music clip - all bright colours and flashing lights signifying nothing.
I would love to see more Footage of Joe. He was such an inspiration to so many people. If the Fam has any, Please share. We would all love to see it.✌️
R.I.P Joe Kubert, I'm glad I finally got to meet you at the New York Comic-Con in 2010-2011. I'm sorry we won't be seeing you there in 2012. Condolences to the Kubert family.
When compared to other greats, it's amazing how Joe maintained the quality of his art very late in life. Even all-time greats visibly drop off a bit and have to compensate a bit by simplifying their style or other techniques. Not Joe. I find that unimaginably impressive.
I've watched many interviews with comic artists and, Jesus, what a difference between generations! The older, pioneering generation was so down to earth, so unpretentious, and the younger generations, whose work has had only a small fraction of the impact of the older ones, are so precious and pretentious. Joe Kubert, Jack Kirby, even the intellectual Will Eisner were real working-class people, and it shows. The main difference, I think, is those generations were no-nonsense because they faced adversity, whereas younger ones have been too pampered.

I didn't know who Joe Kubert was prior to this video(sorry). But 30 seconds into the video I pulled a pen and paper out...
Found myself nodding when he was talking about the speech ballons and captions...lol. only a tru teacher could provoke that kind of interest.
