In Defense of Superman

Superman! Just his name is enough to send some people into conniptions. He stands as one of the most divisive fictional characters we have. People tend to view him as the ultimate expression of the “super-hero”, which for some is a good thing and for some is bad.  His detractors tend to allow that he’s important historically, but they can’t seem to ever be a fan of him. Amongst their complaints are that “he’s boring” or, “he’s too good” or, “what’s with all the powers”, etc. etc. I myself was one of these people. I flocked to characters like Batman, Spider-Man, or the Fantastic four but Superman and I just couldn’t get on the same page.  However, as I’ve grown older, I have grown to love the character and everything he represents. Today I hope to present to you why if you are a Superman hater, you should change your ways and if already like him, to help you relive why you do. So without further ado, I present to you: IN DEFENSE OF SUPERMAN!

Dig in: Featuring Superman!

Look, up in the sky! Does any character evoke the spirit of super heroics more than Superman? DC Comics and the world are celebrating his 75^th Anniversary this year and he’s getting his own new movie this week to boot! As a way to celebrate this classic character I will be writing up a couple things this week in honor of him. The first is the return of Dig In, this time featuring Supes.

Independent Creator Spotlight: Kyle Latino!

Spotlight on: Kyle Latino!

We’re back for another edition of Beaucoup Pop's Independent Creator Spotlight! This week I had the pleasure of interviewing comics’ most dapper creator Mr. Kyle Latino! Kyle is a jack of all trades. You can catch him making podcasts (http://thepanelistspodcast.com/), being a colorist on books like Image comics’ “The Activity”, drawing for books such as Horror Double Feature and Outlaw Territories Vol. 3 (out this summer)!, and hustling as the writer/artist of his own webcomics, Sinktown Slink and So Long Sweetberry! He was kind enough to let me pester him with questions.

 Kyle when did you first start drawing? Are you self-taught, or did you have a lot of teaching along the way?

 

An Ipad painting of The Wasp by Kyle

Though I've been doodling all my life, I didn't decide to draw comics until after I graduated college with a non-art related degree.  What happened was that I read Tom Strong and Rocketo in the same afternoon, and I was never the same again.  I had, however, no time or money to go back to school for training or teaching in art.  So I did what everyone has to do to get good at something, do my best work and compare it to the work of those I admire most, then pick out the specific differences  between their work and mine, and attempted solve those challenges.  Also, I ask for portfolio reviews from veteran artists, not editors.  Editors are paid to be nice to us and they rarely hire from portfolio reviews at conventions.  They'll just tell us to “work on your anatomy and storytelling”.  An artist might actually be able and interested in helping us become better artists.

Independent Creator Spotlight: Victor Dandridge Jr. of Vantage Inhouse Productions!

The man, the myth, the legend

Independent comic creator, master salesman, and former world champion thumb wrestler (one of those is a lie) Victor Dandridge is a comic book double threat. Both a talented artist and writer, he has created several creator owned comic titles including Origins Unknown, The Samaritan, and The Trouble with Love as well as a prose work, 8 Minutes. If you ever met him at a convention you likely spotted him slinging stickers and prints featuring his amazing 8-bit renditions of a multitude of pop culture characters. Victor was kind enough to agree to be my first victim for my Indy Spotlight feature!
