Giant Size presents HOWARD THE DUCK | Austin | Alamo Drafthouse Cinema

Critically reviled and a flop on its original release,1986’s HOWARD THE DUCK took a character who was outselling Spider-Man and the X-Men at different times and made him the butt of the jokes for once. Co-creator and writer Steve Gerber took Marvel to court, a fight detailed in Sean Howe’s Marvel Comics: The Untold Story. Despite critical derision, a generation of fans grew up loving Howard on cable and VHS. Maybe it was the duck boobs. Well, hopefully it wasn’t the duck boobs.

Co-creator and illustrator Val Mayerik never watched the movie all the way through. Steve Gerber sadly passed away a few years ago, but Val Mayerik (who now lives in Austin) has agreed to watch the movie with us for the first time and do a post-show Q&A with Mois?s Chiullan and John Gholson. After the Q&A, Val will sign for fans and do a meet and greet in the lobby. He’ll also have a print for sale that long-time Howard fans should enjoy.

Val recently appeared as a guest on episodes of Giant Size and Electric Shadow, telling stories about Gerber, Bill Mantlo, and Z-movie king Donald G Jackson, among others. Val is a guest at Mondo-Con Sept 20-21 and Dallas Comic-Con Fan Days Oct 17-19.

Final Teaser: An Astonishing New Project By Alan Moore And Gabriel Andrade From Avatar Press - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movie, TV News

100Day3.gif


Alan Moore doing Crossed? Ok, you got me curious.

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/09...set-series-by-alan-moore-and-gabriel-andrade/

That project is an all-original and self-contained 6-issue arc set within the epidemic-infected Crossed universe as created by Garth Ennis, but with a major twist: it is set 100 years in the future, a century from the date of the original Crossed outbreak. The series is entitled Crossed: +100.

Alan Moore has returned to full scripting a new monthly comic for this series, and was compelled to do so through a series of increasingly piquant conversations with his friend Garth Ennis about the implications of the Crossed series for humanity’s future. In response, Moore has created an entirely new world and a hundred years of “missing” history to explore the future of the Crossed outbreak, what will happen to the Crossed themselves over such a long period of time, and what fate awaits humanity after losing the basic elements of modern civilization. With Moore as the single author on the series, it’s a comics master producing a new apocalyptic vision for readers by returning to the roots of dynamic speculative fiction.

I would be totally interested in that except for the fact that Moore is a crotchety old curmudgeon. I do look forward to him distancing himself from it as soon as people like it.
