Geekscape 426: Having A Comix Celebration With Michael Valentine!

by Jonathan

We first met filmmaker and comic book fan Michael Valentine several years ago at WonderCon when he told us about his film ‘Comix: Beyond The Comic Book Pages‘! We were excited for him to finish the documentary on the comic book industry so that we could see it for ourselves… and now he has! We talk to Michael on this latest Geekscape about his reasons for making the film, the challenges he faced and what it was like interviewing comic book legends like Stan Lee, Neal Adams and Frank Miller! If you’re a comic book fan, this episode (and Michael’s movie) is just for you!

Crowdfund This: ‘COMIX: Beyond The Comic Book Pages’

by Shane O'Hare

Rarely does a group of creators come together that have as much passion for their product than the team behind COMIX: Beyond The Comic Book Pages.

Way back in April, I met with the creators of COMIX at WonderCon. There they showed me a clip of their upcoming Documentary.

I was instantly impressed, everything felt very candid and the little that I saw of interviews were great. It reminded me a lot of our own Doc of The Dead.

Check out the trailer for COMIX below!
