Thanks for the great interview, Jim and Ed. I had a BLAST. And yes, pleased to report that the Kayfabe effect is in full swing. Holy shit.
Let's do it again when the book is ready and available! We'll boost the signal even further!
Thanks for all your work and dedication, Mr. Truman! You are a legend!
Truman was and still is one of my biggest influences. I used to follow him around and buy art from him like mad. I was at the Grimjack #1 premier party at the Americana Congress Hotel in Chicago. Tim even helped steer me through letters to the kubert School, when I was struggling with panic issues. At one time, I drew so much like him, that he flat out told me I'd have to find my own style. lol.....I still use Truman effects for chipped walls, bullet holes, lighting effects, folds in clothes, etc ect.....the list goes on.
I missed MANY days of school on Grimjack and Jon Sable Wednesdays. Id call in sick, go to pick up my books, and get back just in time for second study hall where I could read them. Thanks to Tim, I almost can count to the letter G.
Another homerun! What an incredible person! Such a humble spirit for someone who’s done so much iconic stuff!
So great to hear from my old friend, Tim. What a wonderful guy, and terrific artist.
What a wonderful interview! Truman's Scout, Wilderness, Hawkworld, etc, etc...I recall seeing one of his paintings (in a Toronto comic store) which featured the Indian fellow and his horse, looking at his reflection in a pool of water...it was just breathtaking! Man, you guys are awesome! I'd love to see interviews with Michael T. Gilbert & Steve Rude! Keep em' coming and please, stay safe!
Look at the Gibson goldtop just threatening to tear it up...what a veritable arsenal on that wall behind Tim. This is great. Loved you jumping in with his current work.
Actually, that's my old plain-top '78 LP, Doctor, maple neck. An old workhorse. There's also a '35 L-50 and a '32 National Duolian on that wall. Glad you dug the view. Love my geetars.
Re-goddam-diculous how good these shoot interviews have been. My only complaint is that his excellent work on Conan was just touched on, but that is counter balanced by the extensive discussion of his early work, which I'm not as familiar with as I should be. (I was also unaware of the Scout kickstarter, so thanks for that news!) One great yarn after another, you gentlemen have done a good job of getting great conversationalists and nudging them in different, interesting directions. Ed, early Joe Lansdale is the best for splatterpunk, in addition to the short fiction recommend by Truman (especially "Last Night at the Horrorshow") I recommend "Act of Love", "The Nightrunners" and "The Drive-In". I'm a Lansdale fan and love his crime fiction and western novels. I highly recommend the movie "Bubba Ho Tep" and the Hap and Leonard series (which is now on Netflix). Here's a link to a Robert E. Howard Days conversation between Truman and Lansdale where they discuss their work on Conan: th-cam.com/video/HhR_RrtYUUA/w-d-xo.html btw, Robert E. Howard Days for this year have already been cancelled. Roy Thomas was scheduled to speak on "50 Years of Conan Comics". Would LOVE it if you guys would line up Thomas for an interview. Ed has made frequent comments about "Roy Thomas fanboy...." but: 1) Thomas was arguably the first fan to become a comic professional and he did great work on Avengers, Dr. Strange, Conan, X-Men and other comics, 2) Several great and interesting books came out of Marvel when Thomas was editor, and he had an interesting editorial approach (as long as you make deadlines, I'll leave you alone...), and 3) he has been doing the Lord's work (along with Michael Gilbert, Jim Amash, P.C. Hamerlink and the late Bill Schelly) for two decades with Alter Ego magazine, a huge contribution to comics history. (Similar to what you do with Cartoonist Kayfabe, but different decades.) I think you gentlemen could point Thomas is some interesting and different directions.
I grew up on mostly mainstream comics/artists so I appreciate you guys putting me on to all the artists and works I missed out on.
This man is a LEGEND! Awesome dude. And he shouted out Jon Proudstar & TRIBAL FORCE! Be on the lookout for that one guys, I’m working with Jon on that one 😉
Big Truman fan before and even bigger one now. Thank you so much for posting that
Tim Truman is without a doubt on my comic creator Mt. Rushmore.
Dobro Guitars and Timothy Truman. A real pleasure to listen to. My vision of this man became tru man!
A great author! A real treat and pleasure to collaborate with him, all those years ago!
An early Bissette interview got Kona the Monarch of Monster Isle on my radar. It's truly nuts and worth a read; the family all talk like characters out of Jack Chick comics; the Mom goes on a few weird rants about death, and the wise scientist father brings heavy military armament to the primitive cave people. Besides dinosaurs, you had these weird radioactive hybrids like monkey centaurs and serpent turtles. The writer was probably a guy named Don Segall, who was mentioned in an old Krigstein interview as writing off the wall Dell scripts he drew for some of his last comics. Read a few of these and reality will never be the same.
i'm honestly ashamed to have never heard of this gentleman before this channel came along. i need to rectify this problem immediately.
the knowledge disseminated by this channel in 2020 alone has been a masterclass in kayfabe. mahalo for the web you weave, the tales you tell and the sights you share.
Such great comics history stories and teaching insights throughout this entire shoot! Glanzman seemed to have such an impact on everyone he taught. Loved hearing about selling Wilderness to different venues that normally don't stock comics. Respect the hustle. Petitioning to have Tim come back for another episode! I wanna hear some more stories about Joe Kubert, Irwin Hasen, and Tex. What was the Kubert school like when it was running out of the mansion in those early years? Will Eisner came through, but who else?
I bought a back issues hawkworld a few years ago during college and always thought it was dope. Glad to see Truman talk about his work!
Awesome conversation! I loved GRIM JACK and HAWKWORLD by Tim.
Stumbled upon your show and found you interviewing one of my favorite creators. TT has always done great work. You got me hooked. Great show.
Great interview! Thanks for doing this!
Thank you so much for this - Tim is a gift.
Another great interview guys. Might I suggest Tim Bradstreet next? And if it happens please ask him about his creator owned project : Red Sky Diaries and what's become of it.
Years ago I ordered his Wilderness:the Simon Girty saga, which he signed! I still have them..2 vol. set.
The depth and commitment to Tim’s current project reminds me of the historical stories from some of the underground artists. I’m thinking of Spain and Jaxon’s stuff. I’m looking forward to seeing the results.
Such a great interview. Sometimes I think you guys are doing a channel just for me. I’ve been diving into Truman lately, re-reading Scout, hunting down some 4Winds stuff and then up pops this interview. I am surprised though there was no mention of Jaxon, especially when it came to indigenous culture and historical comics...makes me think there may be a story there??? Anyway, another killer interview. Thanks as always fellas, what you’re doing is so appreciated.
Hi, ComicKkrakK. Tim here. Had to reply: I LOVE Jack Jackson. In fact, he did the introduction for my Wilderness GN. So no story there, just couldn't get to everyone, you know? (Jack, Rich Corben, Victor Moscoso... huge influences. And one of the biggest: Rick Griffin! There's an original Griffin poster just over my head on the right-- peering down on me every day like the eye of God. Thanks, man!
Most excellent! Love this man’s work. This was fascinating, informative, and fun.
Missed this one when it came out. Happy to catch up. Another great artist in Tim, and another great piece of comic book history. I love hearing about these early Kurbert school guys getting their bones in the biz -- and I also love the work Tim has done for the Grateful Dead.
"We sell books in a dramatic fashion." is a great pitch for more shoot interviews. Great video.
My brain shorted out when I saw the preview on my phone, for a heartbeat I thought they were interviewing Goldberg!
i must say i love your show and i actually saw the HIp Hop family book at a library i was doing a gig at, ya'll def. got it together man! keep doing it!!
what a nice bloke. Never knew about the D & D designs. Yet another example of all the stuff I liked as a kid converging into one, cool as fuck.
This pleases me.
Great interview!!!
Another great interview fellas!
My microns will never be the same.
How's Tim doing? I looked up his Kickstarter Scout project. It looks unfinished. He may have health problems. I hope he is well! He's a great inspiration!
Possible Denis Kitchen Shoot interview? Tim talking about working with Kitchen Sink Press made me go hell yeah maybe a shoot interview with Denis Kitchen?
Wow! What a legend!
Love that you guys are mining all these Kubert School connections. It's cool to hear about the lineage. I considered applying there when I was in high school but my mom wouldn't let me ha.
Hope to see scout war shaman collection soon
had an entire class hear me pee cause the mike was on. I feel ya
collected & owned most of his best work
he is the man
Excellent!
Any chance that I guys might interview Mike Grell?
Love the Killer story - that was how I discovered Tim!!!
Would love for you guys to do a video on Dog Moon
Joe miller is great, his shop has been around since the 70s...theres gold in them hills
EDDING 1880!!
Ed- Brian Evenson does intense horror description, check out his short story collection The Wavering knife.
Now that Ed's mentioned Tim being in his Top 10, I'm wondering who the other 9 are. And who Jim's Top 10 are.
Is that a resonator guitar?
Truman here, RX TV. Good eye! Couldn't help but answer your question: There are 2 on that wall-- a stock 1932 National Duolian (behind me) and a Republic parlor-sized Resolian (in frame, right of screen). I'm a resonator head, God help me. I have another Republic in the studio-- a gold Duolian. The Republics are great players. I pop Replogle cones into them and replace the bridges with hard maple ones that I carve myself. Make my own glass bottleneck slides, too. As if I don't have enough to do.
Bernie is the nicest person ever.
M favorite dude!
