Wayne’s Comics Podcast #659: Interviews with Mark Bertolini and Joe Harris Sep 22, 2024

Show notes

It’s time for another great Zoop.gg crowdfunding doubleheader week in Episode #659 as Wayne catches up with Mark Bertolini from the newly collected Breakneck, then Joe Harris returns to talk Great Pacific’s new hardcover edition!

Everything kicks off with my fun interview with Mark Bertolini, who is bringing back one of my personal favorites in Breakneck! Here’s how this book is described: “In a world where all supervillains have been wiped out, one final villain is on the run from the world’s collected heroes - but Ethan Shade is the crappiest villain left alive!” We talk about why this is a great time to revive this series, who the various characters are, and what else Mark is up to, including possibly another five issues of Breakneck! Be sure you back this crowdfunding project on zoop.gg before it concludes on Friday, September 27, so we can enjoy more of Mark’s excellent storytelling!

Then it all concludes with the return of Joe Harris to the podcast, who is collecting his classic tale in what he’s calling Great Pacific: The Completely Trashed Edition. Here’s the description: “Chas Worthington dreams of big things, solving bigger problems, and making his mark on the world. Only no one takes the twenty-one year-old heir to one of the biggest oil fortunes in history very seriously… that is, until he turns his back on his cushy life of wealth and prestige, and seeks to solve an environmental disaster twice the size of his native Texas known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.” Joe discusses how this story came to be, who the characters are, and what else he has heading our way in the months ahead! Be sure to back this high-power Zoop.gg crowdfunder before it concludes on Friday, September 27, 2024.

OTTO BINDER: THE LIFE AND WORK OF A COMIC BOOK AND SCIENCE FICTION VISIONARY
by Bill Schelly
Otto Binder: The Life and Work of a Comic Book and Science Fiction Visionary chronicles the career of Otto Binder, from pulp magazine author to writer of Supergirl, Captain Marvel, and Superman comics. As the originator of the first sentient robot in literature ("I, Robot," published in Amazing Stories in 1939 and predating Isaac Asimov's collection of the same name), Binder's effect on science fiction was profound. Within the world of comic books, he created or co-created much of the Superman universe, including Smallville; Krypto, Superboy's dog; Supergirl; and the villain Braniac. Binder is also credited with writing many of the first "Bizarro" storylines for DC Comics, as well as for being the main writer for the Captain Marvel comics. In later years, Binder expanded from comic books into pure science writing, publishing dozens of books and articles on the subject of satellites and space travel as well as UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Comic book historian Bill Schelly tells the tale of Otto Binder through comic panels, personal letters, and interviews with Binder's own family and friends. Schelly weaves together Binder's professional successes and personal tragedies, including the death of Binder's only daughter and his wife's struggle with mental illness. A touching and human story, Otto Binder: The Life and Work of a Comic Book and Science Fiction Visionary is a biography that is both meticulously researched and beautifully told, keeping alive Binder's spirit of scientific curiosity and whimsy.
