  • Westerns…All'italiana
    Issue #70 Featuring: TURN I’ll KILL YOU, THE FAR SIDE OF JERICHO, Spaghetti Western Poster Art, Spaghetti Western Film Locations in the U.S.A., Tim Lucas interview, DVD reviews WAI! #70 The Swingin’ Doors Welcome to another on-line edition of Westerns…All’Italiana! kicking off 2008. Several things are happening for the fanzine. We have found a host or I should say two hosts for the zine. Jamie Edwards and his Drive-In Connection are hosting the zine for most of our U.S. readers (www.thedriveinconnection.com) and Sebastian Haselbeck is hosting it at his Spaghetti Westerns Database for the European readers (www.spaghetti- western.net). Our own Kim August is working on a new website (here’s her current blog site http://gunsmudblood.blogspot.com/ ) that will archive all editions of the zine starting with issue #1. This of course will take quite a while to complete with Kim still in college. Thankfully she’s very young as she’ll be working on this project until her retirement 60 years from now. Anyway you can visit these sites and read or download your copy of the fanzine whenever you feel the urge. Several new DVD and CD releases have been issued since the last edition of WAI! and co-editor Lee Broughton has covered the DVDs as always. The CDs will be featured on the last page of each issue so you will be made aware of what is available. We have completed several interviews of interest in recent months. One with author Tim Lucas, who has just recently released his huge volume on Mario Bava, appears in this issue.

  • The Drink Tank So, This Is the First of Three Issues (Over the Next Year) Dedicated to the Amazing Podcast the Slums of Film History
    The Drink Tank So, this is the first of three issues (over the next year) dedicated to the amazing podcast The Slums of Film History. The cast is so good, and the host, Tom and Slate, were kind enough to do an excellent interview with me! There’s gonna be more than enough material. What is The Slums of Film History? It’s a high-brow look at the low-brow world of gross cin- ema, though more accurately, it’s about the world of cinema that is not the first one you think of. Call it alternative, underground, grindhouse, whatever, it’s the stuff that THOSE of your friends love, and the rest olf the world probably wishes didn’t exist. They have a formula—one of the two takes the topic and researches and comes up with an episode that they present to the other. It’s not merely a schooling, but more of a give and take scenario where both hosts play with one of them doing the driving. They have incredible chemistry, and that really helps. This issue has a look at the first two season, including a portion of the interview, a look at one of the films they spent a fair bit of time on, I DRINK YOUR BLOOD, and I cover each and every episode of the first two seasons. The next issue, coming out around the end of the year, will have more film reviews of films that the guys mention, a look at the third and fourth sea- sons, and more of our interview.

  • Comics and Graphic Novels Cambridge History of The
    Comics and Graphic Novels Cambridge History of the Book in Britain, Volume 7: the Twentieth Century and Beyond Mark Nixon Comics – the telling of stories by means of a sequence of pictures and, usually, words – were born in Britain in the late nineteenth century, with Ally Sloper’s Half-Holiday (Gilbert Dalziel, 1884) and subsequent imitators. These publications were a few pages long, unbound, and cheap – and intended for working-class adult readers. During the twentieth century, bound books of picture stories developed in Europe and North America, and by the end of the century had become a significant factor in British publishing and popular culture. However, British comics scholarship has been slow to develop, at least relative to continental European and North American comics scholarship, although specialist magazines such as The Comics Journal, Comics International and Book & Magazine Collector have featured articles on British comics, their publishers and creators. Towards the end of the twentieth century, the work of Martin Barker and Roger Sabin began to shed new light on certain aspects of the history of British comics, a baton now being taken up by a few scholars of British popular culture1, alongside a growing popular literature on British comics2. 1 For a recent overview, see Chapman, James British comics: a cultural history (London, 2011). 2 Perhaps the best example of this is Gravett, Paul and Stanbury, Peter Great British comics (London, 2006). By the beginning of the twentieth century, Harmsworth dominated the comics market they had entered in 1890 with Comic Cuts and Illustrated Chips. Their comics provided the template for the industry, of eight-page, tabloid-sized publications with a mixture of one-panel cartoons, picture strips and text stories, selling at 1/2d.

  • Production Notes
    PRODUCTION NOTES With the clock ticking and less than a year until the world premiere of Frozen 2, the filmmakers, artists, songwriters and cast open their doors to cameras for a six-part documentary series to reveal the hard work, heart, and collaboration it takes to create one of the most highly-anticipated films in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ near-century of moviemaking. For the first time, cameras were there to capture an eye-opening - and at times jaw-dropping - view of the challenges and the breakthroughs, the artistry, creativity and the complexity of creating the #1 animated feature of all time. The series follows director/writer/chief creative officer Jennifer Lee, director Chris Buck, producer Peter Del Vecho, songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, actors Kristen Bell (“Anna”), Idina Menzel (“Elsa”), Josh Gad (“Olaf”), Jonathan Groff (“Kristoff”), Sterling K. Brown (“Lieutenant Mattias”), Evan Rachel Wood (“Iduna”) and the talented artists and technicians of Disney Animation as they race against time to finish the film, with both creative breakthroughs and frustrations along the way. The 6-episode docuseries, “Into the Unknown: Making Frozen 2,” is produced by Lincoln Square Productions and Walt Disney Animation Studios, is available worldwide exclusively on Disney+, June 26, 2020. In 2013, Walt Disney Animation Studios created Frozen, a feature that went on to become the #1 animated film of all time. Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven became household names. The soundtrack broke records. The song “Let It Go” became an international anthem. Frozen was a cultural phenomenon. When “Frozen” filmmakers Jennifer Lee (writer/director), Chris Buck (director) and Peter Del Vecho (producer) decided they had more story to tell for Elsa and Anna, they knew they needed to make Frozen 2.
