PLUG FOR A PLUG: Thrilled to see Denny O’Neil as the cover subject in COMIC BOOK CREATOR magazine #35 coming in July. Also delighted the article’s writer, Bob Brodsky, includes in it material from my 2023 book THE DENNY O’NEIL TAPES, and gives it a lovely plug! Writes Bob in the piece:

“This article contains excerpts from a 1970 group interview with Denny taped by then 15-year-old Walt Jaschek. Walt was a member of GRAFAN, The Graphic Fantasy Society of St. Louis, Denny’s hometown. The writer, then somewhat new to comics, chatted with group members about his work at DC Comics and other topics. Denny was on a creative high, and the discussion with the club shows his insight, wit and honesty. The full conversation … along with a copy of Denny’s full script for Green Lantern #63, are collected in Walt’s one-of-a-kind book, THE DENNY O’NEIL TAPES (Walt Now Studios.) The book is available on Amazon.com is highly recommended.”

Thanks, Bob — and congrats on the cover feature! As for that plug… “It’s this kind of spontaneous publicity that can make or break a person!” - Steve Martin, seeing his name in the new phone book, in “The Jerk.” (1979.)

COMIC BOOK CREATOR #35 can be advance ordered from TwoMorrows Press: https://twomorrows.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=98_132&products_id=1793

Denny O'Neil wasn't the only comics writer from St. Louis I interviewed as a young whipper-snapper. In 1975, as a 20-year-old college student and comic book super-fan, I had the exciting opportunity to interview Steve "Man-Thing" Ge**er, the Marvel Comics writer then rapidly gaining fans and traction for his groundbreaking concepts, characters and stories. This resulting article... https://youtu.be/2-fjUixcaP4?si=7sdzi5oPYJKZwWvF ... first appeared on July 1, 1975, in The UMSL Current, the student-run newspaper of the University of Missouri-St. Louis, which Steve Ge**er attended in the early 1970s. (And where I was attending and working as a student journalist and as one of the paper's editors.) Although the original story and pics were reprinted in the popular fanzine Comics Buyers Guide, this article has been little seen until recently. Here's the whole thing on YouTube, read by ...me. https://youtu.be/2-fjUixcaP4?si=7sdzi5oPYJKZwWvF

P.S. That little seen photo of Steve, taken on the day of the interview, is by my friend and pop culture historian Sam Maronie.
