THIS WEEK ON THE VIKING YOUTH POWER HOUR...
Comic Book Culture
The Vikings invoke Jack Kirby creator of X-Men, Avenger,
Thor, and much more. We bring good Mr. Kirby along for a journey looking back across the history of Comics. We hit
on Max Gaines arguably the creator of the comics medium. We wonder if the power to fellate oneself is perhaps
the greatest super power one could have. We chat on America's favorite and first hippie, Superman and EC
comics, the company responsible for such dirty shit as Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror and ultimately
the CCA. Robert Crumb is a depraved and brilliant man. What is it about comics that
allows the world as we know it to become more mutable? And how will comics - and things like Sin City - change they way we absorb information as a mythic reality?
Finally we talk about the true masters of the arena, Alan Moore, Neil Gaimon, and most importantly... Grant Morrison.
Lastly, sweet, stubborn listeners, if you have not yet, get your ass off the couch and go buy The Invisibles - it will shatter your tiny little world.
Edited and engineered by Lee Chameleon and Jason. Viking music by Lee Chameleon. Outro: "Insect Survivors" by Iklatus. Our announcer is Thomas Shade.
