File 7. 70 Mike Glyers news of science fiction fandom1 EATING THE FANTASTIC. Famed comics writer Marv Wolfman joins Scott Edelman for gelato in Episode 5. Eating the Fantastic podcast. Marv Wolfman. As I prepared to lunch with this episodes guest, I was startled to realize Id last interviewed him in 1. Back then, I was an assistant editor in the Marvel Bullpen, while Marv Wolfman was among many other things scripting Tomb of Dracula and editing Crazy magazine, not yet having ascended to the role of Editor in Chief. And it was my job to report on his doings for the readers of F. O. O. M., Marvels official fan magazine. Over the course of his career, Marv did a whole lot more than what I talked with him about back then. He went on to script the adventures of many legacy characters for both Marvel and DC, including the Fantastic Four, Spider Man, Superman, and Green Lantern, and during that time he also co created the characters of Blade, Bullseye, Destiny, Nova, and many others. He wrote the Teen Titans comic for 1. Theres even more to Marv than that, of course, as youll find out when you give this episode a listen. We discussed his horrifying early job as a DC Comics intern destroying and in some cases rescuing original art, why he loves the science fiction writer Alfred Bester, how his writing back when he started out was a blend of John Broome and Stan Lee, what he learned from binge reading 1. Spider Man before starting to script it himself, what it was like returning to DC after his years at Marvel, why he felt he could write Tomb of Dracula even though when he was handed the assignment hed never read the Bram Stoker novel or seen any of the movies, his secret to making the Teen Titans seem like actual teens, why he owes his career to Gene Colan, and much, more. JOSHI DEFENDS HIMSELF. S. T. Joshi tees off on Brian Keene once more in his November 1. Let us consider his assertion that I have gone out of my way to attack certain individuals who have criticised Lovecraft only because they are women Ellen Datlow, persons of colour Daniel Jos Older, persons in the LGBTQ community S. J. Bagley although his membership in this community is news to me, and self styled white trash Appalachians such as himself. If anything could reveal Mr. Keenes nincompooperynot to mention identity politics run amokthis must be it. Mr. Keene ignores the fact that I have also addressed other individualsunimpeachably Caucasian and undeniably malesuch as China Miville see my blog of August 2. Charles Baxter blog of December 3, 2. Robert Dunbar blog of February 2. Then theres Niels Hobbs, about as chalk white a Nordic as one could ask for. But more significantly, Mr. Keene is blithely unaware of how his assertion can be flipped around and made to bite him in the posterior. By his own reasoning if it can be called that, anyone who criticises me for any reason must be an anti Asian racist. For it cannot be news to Mr. Keene that I was born in India and am an immigrant to this country but a U. S. citizen of long standing. Picasa 3 Photo Editor Free Download For Windows Xp. Is Mr. Keene therefore prepared to admit that he is a racist How about it, Mr. Nicolay What do you have to say for yourself, Mr. Lockhart But of course this is absurd. I have never accused any of my antagonists of prejudice only of stupidity, hypocrisy, and suchlike faults that are widely shared by all races and genders, and I trust I may be granted the same courtesy, especially in the absence of evidence and of course there is none that I myself have ever exhibited racial or gender prejudice. I confess to an irremediable prejudice against illiterate morons like Mr. Keene in part because this revolt of the stupid inflicted upon us our current president, but beyond that, my record is clean. Mr. Keene also asserts, preposterously, that I do not want Lovecrafts racism discussed. I myself have discussed this issuein my biography and elsewheremore comprehensively and with a greater understanding of the historical, philosophical, social, and cultural issues involved than any other commentator. Where Mr. Keene got the idea that I threatened to boycott the 2. Necronomi. Con if there was a panel on this subject, I cannot begin to imagine. In fact, Niels Hobbs and I, long before our falling out, had already agreed that there need not be any such panel at the 2. I was a member of the panel in 2. My boycott threat was tied specifically to the presence of known and unrepentant Lovecraft haters on the programand I was under the impression that Mr. Hobbs had acceded to my request to keep them off the programJoshis love for abusing people in lush terms inspires me to ask who would win if he and John C, Wright were paired in a literary cage match3 LEFTOVER STUFFING.

Glasgow International Fantasy Conversations has put out a call for papers on the theme of Escaping Escapism in Fantasy and the Fantastic. The event takes place April 2. What is the role of fantasy and the fantastic Whyand perhaps more crucially, howdoes the genre matter Fantasy theorists frequently define the genre in opposition to what is possible and real Kathryn Hume, for instance, sums it up in Fantasy and Mimesis as departures from consensus reality. Critics often scrutinize this departure as a negative, and disparage representations of the fantastic either due to their failure to depict real world issues or their presumed attempts at escapism. This perceived link between fantasy and escapism is so strong that dictionaries like the Oxford English Dictionary define escapism as engaging in fantasy. This two day conference seeks to examine and honour the relationship between escapism and the fantastic. We welcome proposals for papers on this theme from researchers and practitioners working in the field of fantasy and the fantastic across all media, whether within the academy or beyond it.
