Today Levi and I went to a really cool bookstore and listened to Spawn creator Todd McFarlane and Larry Marder, creator of Beanworld and president of McFarlane Toys, for a discussion of the rise of the graphic novel. It was interesting to hear Todd & Larry’s thoughts on what graphic novel are and where they are going. They pointed out some good book's like Blankets, Torso, Watchmen, and Sincity. It was also good to hear that Todd will be writing and directing the new Sawn movie. He said writing/ production would start some time next year. Hearing Todd call himself a geek was neat and that all the money he has did not go to his head. The relationship between sports fans and guys who go to midnight showings of Starwars was a cool peace logic put out by Todd also.
It’s late and I got to crash.
Late.
