I inherited my dads comic book collection from the 60s 70s and 80s. Shows like this make me appreciate it a lot more. Mr Anderson is a lovely gentleman.
The great and unsung Murphy Anderson! Wow! What a treat to see and hear this man. I want to thank the channel for these "Shoot" videos. I've marked all of the ones I see for a "Watch Later". I want to commend whoever had the wherewithal and insight to capture these time-capsule interviews with so many of my Silver Age graphic / comics arts heroes and legends. Thanks for ALL of these videos. Murphy's work HAD to have been an inspiration to Brian Bolland (or it's just coincidence). What man with an inkwell. I think I first saw his inks on Joe Kubert's Hawkman pencils, long before I knew whom either of them was. Look at this guy. He reeks of "America's Greatest Generation". I always think of the work he did on DC's "John Carter of Mars adaptation and it was great work that he penciled and inked, I believe. His inks could lift an inferior penciller's job. Thanks again for revealing these heroes to me. So many of these legendary workers are now deceased, but still very much alive in these interviews. And these interviews seem to ask so many of the "right" questions. Kudos to all!!!
Thanks! check out the bios of each with their backstory and content. David Armstrong had that insight and recorded them, by shooting them on a real set roughly 20 years ago. Then in the past 6 months through coordinating with David, I (Alex) did the remastering, editing and media construction of the presentation interviews you're watching. Look out for a special "making of" video with David and I coming soon. cheers.
I really loved his early raw Fiction House work he did on Planet Comics, He was at a panel at Comic-Con Int back in the early 2000's and I was able to get him to sign a Planet Comics #36 of mine, and at this stage of his life he was still able to do some beautiful Lou Fine inspired work such as the comic covers he had done for an Overstreet Price Guide which was for two covers, One a homage to DC's Silver Age heroes and another for Quality's Golden Age heroes, a truly unforgettable artist.
Great artist, very talented. Not only a great inker but a great layout man (as seen by his Hawkman and John Carter work). I thought Quality was in Hartford, Conn at the time (the "Quality City').. .
😎Loved Murphy's work and in 1973 I started reading The Menomonee Falls Gazette which published Murphy's Buck Rogers , my #1 spaceman strip. Calkins , Yager , Anderson , Tuska ; ALL did Buck proud! I was such a fan of the Buck Rogers serial which got reedited into a 90 minute film that played on TV. In the 1970s one of my local channels would usually schedule the film on an early morning Saturday around 2:00 or 3:00 and whenever it was on the TV listing I would set my alarm clock ten minutes earlier so I could fully wake up and properly enjoy my favorite spaceman on screen. It was simply great hearing how much Murphy enjoyed contributing to Buck Rogers.👍.
I liked the work he did with Kirby on Jimmy Olson. There are panels where he really did a good job taking what Kirby did in pencils into inks, just as Sinnott did. It's a shame that he did not work more closely with Kirby. I'm not sure Kirby was absolutely happy with it, but Sinnott, Wood and Anderson might have been his best inkers along with (oddly enough) Neal Adams.
Just found these interviews on TH-cam and they are just superb! All the guys who were drawing/writing/editing comics when I first discovered them in the early seventies. Are there any interviews with guys who came in 70s/80s/90s?
Sy Berry was the only inker who really did justice to Anderson's pencils. We think of Infantino and Anderson as being the DC "House Look" but it seemed like a lot of that was Toth/Berry on Sensation Mystery in the early 1950s.
Great to hear from this legendary artist! I am glad to learn that lightboxing from newsprint was a thing with many artists. Genius is lots of hard work with lots of tricks to make things cool. You don't have to be Isaac Newton with a pencil or a brush. Jump in and do it.
The best inker at DC Comics in the 1960s hands down! I loved him on Infantino. Thank you David and Alex!

A true gentleman and a fine artist!
I was a big fan of his work on Superman back in the early 70s along with Curt Swan.

One of the best from the Industry! Great interview!

That’s great, Anthony. Murphy’s eyes light up with Buck Rogers. I love hearing him say that he was in hog heaven when he did that strip!
