Rocketeer Spirit Preview Will Eisner's The Spirit and Dave Stevens' The Rocketeer are two of the most beloved and revered characters ever to see print in the graphic arts medium. Both creators were masters of the form—expertly wielding their brushes with exquisite results and spinning high-flying adventures that enthralled readers at every turn! Now these two legendary pulp-inspired heroes meet for the very first time! A Central City councilman disappears and is found dead in Los Angeles. Commissioner Dolan, along with Denny Colt (a.k.a. The Spirit), and his daughter Ellen trek out to the City of Angels to investigate. Meanwhile, Cliff Secord (The Rocketeer) consoles his sweetheart Betty who is traumatized after accidentally discovering the politician's body. But the real question is… how on earth—in 1941—did the victim arrive in Los Angeles just hours after last being seen thousands of miles away?! This is but one of the many mysteries that await our stalwart heroes as they seek answers to riddles wrapped in enigmas, and maintain their wits in the face of grave danger!

Originally published as THE ROCKETEER/THE SPIRIT: PULP FRICTION issues #1–4. 2 Introduction by Denis Kitchen Cartoonists Will Eisner and Dave Stevens shared a good deal in common, including movie adaptations with high expectations that didn’t exactly set box office records. But first and foremost, the pair stood on a separate plane for their virtuoso control over a sable brush dipped in India ink. Their original drawings* are among the most admired and the most highly collectible among comic art connoisseurs, with Will’s drawing perhaps a little looser, especially in his later period, and Dave’s more controlled and precise. Each man, with seeming effortlessness, could layer lines of ink, bold and delicate, with such surety and near perfection, always within inventive page compositions, such that fans would routinely drool and colleagues were admiringly envious. Beyond their first rank artistry, both are also remembered for their wonderful storytelling. Dave’s Rocketeer, I’m confident, will remain a genre classic. Though the ability to do so was innate, Dave was never a prolific storyteller, nor was he a quick draw, even during his healthy years. Even if his life had not been cut short far too early, Dave could never have accumulated a body of work comparable to Will Eisner, whose career spanned eight decades, more than six hundred Spirit stories and over twenty graphic novels, not to mention a few hundred PS Magazines for the US Army. The posthumous crossover of the most famous creations of Eisner and Stevens collected here prompts a few interesting parallels between notable elements of their work, starting with the women. Dave, perhaps even more than the Rocketeer, is famous for his delectable drawings of the female form. His sexiest images share the walls of the pin-up pantheon with Alberto Vargas and Gil Elvgren. Dave’s models often didn’t even have to be paid: they vied to be his subject. Dave was also the person most responsible for the revival of the ‘50s “Queen of Pin-Ups,” Bettie Page, on whom, of course, Cliff Secord’s girlfriend Betty is based. Eisner was certainly no slouch when it came to drawing women. His slinky, sensual femme fatales chased, outwitted, and seduced The Spirit throughout the ‘40s and into the early ‘50s. P’Gell, Silk Satin, Sand Saref, Skinny Bones, and Plaster of Paris were among the most memorable bad girls, though The Spirit’s long-suffering girlfriend Ellen was a beauty as well. And Eisner’s Spirit section, inserted in family newspapers for a considerably earlier generation, had to incorporate these alluring sex symbols under the eyes of watchful editors, where lingerie and hints of nudity were verboten. The Spirit was created in 1940 in a world contemporaneous with its publication and set primarily in Central City, which everyone understood to be New York. Stevens, who created his best known character some four decades after The Spirit began, chose to set his plots close to very nearly the same time period, and much of its action also takes place in New York. The stubby, crazy-cool airplane that Cliff pilots, a 1931 Gee Bee racer, became a distinctive Rocketeer trademark, but even many Spirit fans may not know that in July 1940, only a month after the strip’s inception, Eisner gave his masked detective a strange aircraft of his own: an auto-plane. It wasn’t as stylish as Cliff’s Gee Bee, and Eisner soon discarded the flying vehicle as too gimmicky. But perhaps it needs to be revived as a future plot device if Denny Colt and Cliff Secord should cross paths again? Finally, the Rocketeer’s costume, most notable for the twin cylinders on his back and a stylish art deco helmet, would hardly seem to have anything whatever in common with The Spirit’s minimal disguise, consisting entirely of a wispy eye mask. And that observation would be true for nearly The Spirit’s entire run. But as the epic approached its end in 1952, Eisner, assisted then by Jules Feiffer and Wally Wood, sent the Spirit to outer space and the moon, where he wore a spacesuit with twin cylinders on his back and donned a stylish, if somewhat bulbous, helmet of his own. It’s a shame that Eisner and Stevens, who had such strong mutual respect, could not have collaborated during their lifetimes, but I’m confident each would be quite pleased to see their respective two-dimensional characters interacting and butting heads, helmeted or not, for all the appreciative fans, like me, who can never get enough of their favorites. —Denis Kitchen, February 2014 *If you aren’t lucky enough to own any of their actual art, see the next best thing: IDW’s oversize Artist Editions of The Spirit and The Rocketeer. 3 Cover by PAUL SMITH Colors by JORDIE BELLAIRE 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11.

  • Building the Interstate
    Building the Interstate W. L. Mertz and Joyce Ritter FOREWORD What follows is the documentation of the critical events during the building of the Interstate System. The record begins with the passage of the 1956 Highway Act, which kicked off the Interstate construction program. It ends in 1974 just after the passage of the 1973 Highway Act, which was landmark legislation for the Interstate System and the highway program in general. We made several attempts to interpret the 1973 Act for the reader but abandoned it in favor of relying on quotations from those involved at the time who said what they thought it was. An earlier document named "Origins of the Interstate" explored the critical years in the conceptualization of the Interstate System culminating in the 1956 Highway Act. Both documents rely heavily on quoted excerpts of speeches made by people who were influential in charting the course of the highway program during those years. We have found that no paraphrasing expresses the essence of the issues of the times as well as the words of those who were involved and spoke them. By far the richest source of material has been American Highways, the quarterly journal of the American Association of State Highway Officials. It faithfully recorded the views of its own members, Congressmen, Federal officials and indeed, the adversaries of the highway program. The reasons for stopping the record in 1974 are several. First, our scheduled time allotted for this task was running out. Second, the events following the 1973 Highway Act are recent history. We have been involved in that history and so are too close to it to make unbiased judgments about what should be highlighted.

  • Idle Hour: Noho's Beloved Barrel Reborn
    Idle Hour: NoHo's Beloved Barrel Reborn By Alysia Gray Painter http://www.nbclosangeles.com/entertainment/the-scene/Idle-Hour-NoHos-Beloved- Barrel-Reborn-291527871.html NBC Los Angeles Says: If Los Angeles building styles could be viewed as members of a large and loopy family, roadside vernacular architecture, or programmatic architecture, if you prefer, would absolutely be the nutty cousin who balances spoons on his nose and sings songs backwards, all to garner attention and bring delight. It's the Cabazon dinosaurs and it's the bulldog-shaped diner seen in "The Rocketeer" and it's every outlandish vintage design conceived to catch the eyes, and cash, of early motorists. And it's the barrel-shaped structure near the appropriately attention- garnering North Hollywood intersection of Lankershim Boulevard, Vineland Avenue, and Camarillo Street. Yep, we speak of what was formerly La Caña Restaurant, or what's often called The Barrel, a long-closed gem which is getting another longed-for shot as an open-and-in- business business. But here's the twist: Idle Hour, the fresh handle for the bar, is actually its long-gone moniker. Surely you remember back in the 1940s when it was called The Idle Hour Cafe & Tap Room, yes? La Caña came later, and then, after it was long closed, a designation to save the not-looking-too-great spot: Los Angeles Historical-Cultural Monument #977. That's a fair estimation, yes? If you strolled by the structure in recent years, you likely thought, or voiced, that it had "seen better days" (or some other "someone should save this place" lamentation).

    Working Paper Series SPECIAL ISSUE: REVISITING AUDIENCES: RECEPTION, IDENTITY, TECHNOLOGY Superheroes and Shared Universes: How Fans and Auteurs Are Transforming the Hollywood Blockbuster Edmund Smith University of Otago Abstract: Over the course of the 2000s, the Hollywood blockbuster welcomed the superhero genre into its ranks after these films saw an explosion in popularity. Now, the ability to produce superhero films through an extended transmedia franchise is a coveted prize for major studios. The likes of Sony, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Bros. are locked in competition with the new kid on the block, Marvel, who changed the way Hollywood produces the blockbuster franchise. Drawing upon my previous and current postgraduate work, this essay will discuss fans and authorship in relation to the superhero genre which, I posit, exemplifies the industrial model of the Hollywood blockbuster and the cycle of appropriation and revitalisation that defines it. I will explain how studios like Marvel call upon up-and-coming directorial talent to further legitimise their films in order to appeal to middlebrow expectations through auteur credibility. Such director selection demonstrates: 1) how the contemporary auteur has become commodified within transmedia franchise blockbusters and, 2) how, due to the conflicting creative and commercial interests inherent to the blockbuster, these films are now supported by a form of co-dependent authorship. Related to this, I will also explore how fans function within this industrial context and the effect that their fannish support and promotion of superhero films has had on the latter’s viability as a staple of studio production. ISSN2253-4423 © MFCO Working Paper Series 3 MFCO Working Paper Series 2017 Introduction From the 2000s, through to the present day, the superhero film has seen a titanic increase in popularity, becoming a staple of the mainstream film industry.
