I have creators interested in two biographical subjects for my "Dangerous Minds" webcomic project so far:
Steve Ditko: So much respect for him following his own philosophical convictions and producing so much self-published material
Dave Chappelle: A wickedly funny comedian and a really brave guy who isn't afraid to critique Hollywood
More updates as they develop, I have a lot of writing to do --
If you are a comic creator and are interested in contributing to this project, deets and potential bio candidates are listed here.


I was actually at a Chappelle show here in Louisville a few years back where there were so many drunken hecklers in the audience he basically walked offstage less than 15 minutes into the show. My own hatred for Louisville aside, I really can't blame the man though.
ReplyDeleteDitko is a whole 'nother can of beans. He is my all-time favorite creator, by far. The Rob Imes-published fanzine Ditkomania! is a great resource (http://www.ditko-fever.com/dmreturns.html), full of letters from Ditko-loving pros like Dave Sim, Mort Todd, and Javier Hernandez.
I would love to see Steve Ditko interviewed by someone like Dave Chappelle. Would be fascinating...
