The Drawn
Word TV, a video production between Christopher Irving’s Drawn Word and
Christian Guzman’s CSpin Films, premieres a two-part interview with comics
luminary Larry Hama this week! Hama created G.I.Joe while at Marvel Comics in
1982, and is a legendary cartoonist/writer/editor, having nothing less under
his belt than also writing Wolverine and editing The ‘Nam.
Hama’s G.I.Joe comics world is being brought to
life this summer in G.I.Joe: Retaliation,
starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Bruce Willis. In this exclusive
interview, Hama and Irving discuss the origins of Joe, as well as Hama’s foray into acting, including his bit part
in the cult classic film The Warriors.
Part One is already up, with Part Two being released on Wednesday.
Irving and
his Graphic NYC partner Seth Kushner will be at MOCCAFest this weekend, to
celebrate their new book Leaping Tall
Buildings: The Origins of American Comics. Copies of LTB, as well as
exclusive prints by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, will be on sale at table
B6.
