Adaptations and Guest Creators
Skip to comments
13 months ago Liniers delighted us with a weeklong adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky.”
I expect to be as thoroughly enamored with his adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s “A Dream Within a Dream” this week in Macanudo.
Guest Creators
Deeper in 2024 we saw the retro-stylings of Howie Noel as he drew the adventures of Dick Tracy as Matthew K. Manning wrote an exciting “Minit Mysteries” episode. Now that team returns for January with a Dick Tracy sequel to that chapter, though this is not heralded as a Minit Mysteries.
Matthew Manning tells us a bit about the upcoming six week continuity at his Substack:
It takes place in the present, but not necessarily our present. Tracy’s city is a place where people chat on cellphones while driving 1936 coupes. Its denizens often speak in hard-boiled one-liners with a generous sprinkling of innuendo. This is a fictional world like nowhere you’ve ever been, a place that begs exploration into its seediest dark corners.
Expect to be entertained! (No slight to Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger meant or implied.)
And they aren’t the only guest creators appearing this week.
This week’s (fortnight’s?) guest artist taking over for Rachell Merrill on Gil Thorp is Jason Margos.
Henry Barajas remains as the storyteller (“Wet feet” Henry?)
More Adapting
Also being adapted this week is the origin story of the Flash Gordon and Dale Arden and Dr. Zarkov team ending up on Mongo by Alex Raymond 92 years ago as retold by Dan Schkade.
The retelling starts today with a prelude.
A reminder of that January 7, 1934 debut for those of you who weren’t around at that time:
And Crossovers
Since we are in the past let’s note that Saturday Rosebuds by Supr Dee and Wannabe by Laca Debus got together to jam on a true crossover.
