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.

Slightly Bent Comics #1 and #2 are black-and-white anthology comic books written and designed by Walt Jaschek, starring original, creator-owned characters. Top St. Louis comic artists supplied visuals. There's a set autographed by Walt here: https://ko-fi.com/s/e8e3a67bf5

This 2-issue, self-published series, was distributed by Diamond Comic Distributors to comic book stores across the United States in 1998. Walt Jaschek designed the Slightly Bent logo and the covers, and hired his talented friends to draw scripts for his creator-owned characters. Don Secrease served as art director on both books.

The comics feature the second and third print appearances of the original Mel Cool: Mall Cop, with art by Secrease. They also showcase the first appearances of Dude-Guy, with art by Craig Skaggs; Danger Dad, with art by Jaschek and Darren Goodheart; Corp Rut and Smirk du Jour with art by Tony Patti; Attorneys in Space, with art by Paul Daly; and Dang Gnats, a comic strip by Jaschek, who also wrote humorous editorials for both issues.

Reviews of these issues are on Steve’s Reads and on Flooby.

Says Walt: "The series was a fun experiment, a deep-dive immersion into self-publishing during the black-and-white comics boom, and a launch for characters and concepts bouncing around in my brain. It was also a nice, creative distraction from my day job writing funny radio commercials."

Approximately 800 copies of Slightly Bent Comics #1 were ordered by comic book stories, according to statistics from Diamond. Approximately 400 copies of issue #2 were ordered. These are the only copies of these two issues in circulation. Some issues are often spotted on eBay and other "back issue" platforms.
