Working on an 80s #martialarts #comics project (which I can't disclose yet) and found this #coverdesign. Comment and post a cover of a martial arts #manga, #komiks , #manwha, or #movieposter that resonates with you. What do you want to see in a martial arts comic? Thanks!

Designing MAQ #14 now, to take advantage that we use color in #printing the #zine. This is our #Bigfoot issue so I've got an earthy color palette. While there is consistency across the series, each issue of MAQ reflects the pulpy subject inside. #graphicdesign #pulpculture #mensadventurequarterly

3-part Summer serial from Irwin Allen (LOST IN SPACE, TIME TUNNEL). Later edited into a feature film for overseas. It aired in 1978 on CBS as THE RETURN OF CAPTAIN NEMO. A mishmash of ripoffs of both the serials and the current fad STAR WARS (itself an homage to serials).

Expect more of this sort of stuff. Not only in the world of movies, but in the world of Verticals (aka microdramas) and elsewhere.
Good for him.

The book is out for print-proofing. If you're a fan of #NewWorldPictures and #RogerCorman then please take a look at our books in this two-part series. @716film.bsky.social chronicles the struggle to get one of the "Best ALIEN ripoffs" onscreen. Taken direct from his journal!

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

Proof that I am working... trying to put the finishing touches on this book, CELLULOID WARS 2: THE MAKING OF FORBIDDEN WORLD before print-proofing. Well over 240 pages of entries by director @716film.bsky.social as well as interviews, sketches, artwork, storyboards, etc...

Solid reporting from CBS, shockingly not aired. Please share this online to boost views and awareness.
So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...
