Originally from the Bronx, now in Richmond, VA. Independent artist/animator/filmmaker. Big fan of tokusatsu (Japanese special effects), anime, animation, and comics. Among my own personal projects are REKIRA THE SUPER-MONSTER and LILY MERRIWEATHER.
Even Charlie Brown is shaking his head…

Oh, I read it (back when it was first brought to the US by Epic Comics). It’s beautiful!

It's a great shot, but I agree.

I still think it's an unsurpassed masterpiece. I was fortunate to see this on the big screen at the NYC Film Forum on the first two Friday nights of November 1990!

That was a very different episode! (It's not often to see you have a lengthy chat episode.) And great to listen to, as someone who immensely enjoyed the new SUPERMAN.

One of my favorite anime series of all time!

Because of this, co-creator Jiro Kuwata has become one of my favorite manga masters, in much need for greater appreciation in the US.

It's great! A more unusual Toho tokusatsu monster movie!

That was a great short!

Funny how the article never included the 1954 GODZILLA! I guess some people are okay with *some* great movies being a franchise…

(Even though I am a fan of the franchise, especially the Showa-era film series!)

I always thought Cobalt was a Harvey-style Astro Boy (only more elongated)! 🙂
