We need your support now to keep up this good and important work. Recent weeks have seen a flurry of free speech victories in battles the Fund's been fighting: On June 29, the Supreme Court upheld the ban on COPA, effectively quashing a law that would chill protected speech on the Internet and make the government more intrusive in how adults can read and see the material they choose to view. The Fund was there, fighting COPA from the start. Last week, Washington state's violent video game law was struck down. The law would have made it illegal to sell or rent games depicting violence against uniformed law enforcement officers. The court recognized video games as protected speech and declared that violence is neither legally obscene nor harmful to minors. The VSDA led the fight, which the Fund and our free speech allies vigorously supported. In the last season, we've also successfully held off the enforcement of unconstitutional display laws in Arkansas and Michigan that would effect how every retailer in those states does business. We are moving ahead towards killing those laws entirely. This is the kind of advocacy work that comics needs in order to be legally safe and creatively vibrant in these turbulent times. To keep doing this work, the CBLDF urgently needs your continued support. We need to you to join, either online at www.cbldf.org, or at this week's Comic-Con International: San Diego. At the Con there will be plenty of opportunities to support, from Saturday night's gala auction, to signings at our booth (4504/4506), to cool new t-shirts and premiums, including the return of Frank Miller's Band-Aid tee. However you choose to support the Fund, it will go a long way to helping us protect comics' free speech rights. There are new battles on the horizon, including John Ashcroft's potentially unconstitutional recordkeeping requirements for adult material as part of the Protect Act, and potential increases to the DoJ's obscenity unit. We're keeping close watch on these and other threats, but we can't fight them -- or even keep proper watch on them -- unless we have the money we need to do so. Support the CBLDF this week. Whether it's through membership, premiums, or any other donation, your dollars help us fight the important battles. Now is the time to support the fight.

Amy Comic Book Villains Are Made, Not Born http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/arts/bal- as.movies27jun27,1,6725134.story It's good to be bad One cruel scientific accident - and finding a superhero to hate - can turn an ordinary guy into a magnificent movie villain. By Chris Kaltenbach Sun Movie Critic Let's hear it for the bad guys. They may be vile, they may be despicable, they may be nasty people who deserve every misfortune that comes their way. But without them, heroes would never have the chance to be heroic, and then where would popular culture be? And while we're at it, let's be honest - they're fun to watch, often more fun than the good guys we're supposed to root for. Admit it: Who would you rather sit down and have a beer with, Batman or The Joker? "I would venture to say that the villain is even more important than the good guy," says Joe Queseda, editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics, publishers of Spider-Man, X-Men, Daredevil and about a dozen other superhero titles that either have been or are about to be made into movies. "Often, it's the villains the fans are really anxious to see." But what makes a great bad guy, an adversary both powerful and compelling enough to challenge the superheroes of the comic book and movie worlds? What separates a common mugger from a guy with the means and ambition to rule the world? Is it enough just to be nasty, or are superpowers a prerequisite? Can anyone with a ray gun take on Batman and make audiences care? Can any mutant or victim of science-gone-awry make Spider-Man quake in his boots - and audiences quake with him? No, both comic and movie writers agree, it takes more than just brains or brawn or even bad attitude to create a villain that will keep superhero fans coming back for more. The best bad guys, it seems, are made, not born. "It's not like someone gets up in the morning and says, 'I'm going to conquer the world today,' " says Avi Arad, chief creative officer for Marvel Enterprises, charged with overseeing the comic-book company's film and television projects. "A comic-book villain cannot be born as a villain; he must be a victim of circumstances, someone who's been given a curse, or some tragedy, or power. A hero is being given a gift and uses it for the good of mankind; a villain will take the same gift, or curse, and use it against mankind." Latest evil genius On Wednesday, when Spider-Man 2 opens on about a gazillion movie screens nationwide, one of comicdom's most extraordinary villains makes the transition from paper to celluloid. Nuclear scientist Otto Octavius was a scientific genius, dedicated to the betterment of mankind, until a horrific accident (there are no minor accidents in the comics pages) leaves him with four additional limbs, each with a serious attitude problem, each extraordinarily powerful. Re-christened Dr. Octopus - Doc Ock for short - he soon embarks on a murderous rampage that only Spidey can hope to stop. "Dr. Octopus was a conscious effort on my part to try something different," says legendary comics creator Stan Lee, who introduced Octavius in issue No. 3 of The Amazing Spider-Man back in 1963. "He started out just being a normal scientist, and then I had my usual scientific accident, and there we go." Prospects for the twisted Dr. Octavius to make a lasting impression on movie audiences look pretty good. The first Spider-Man enjoyed the fifth-highest U.S. box-office gross of all time (with domestic receipts totaling $403.7 million); the cast that helped make the earlier film so memorable remains intact; and director Sam Raimi had more time and more money to lavish on his creation this go-round. Spider-Man 2 should prove a monster hit, meaning that Doc Ock will have little trouble joining the ranks of indelible comic-book villains who have successfully made the transition to the big screen. What a roster of bad guys he joins. There's The Joker, who made Batman's life so miserable; Catwoman, the feline femme fatale who left both the Caped Crusader's and audience's hearts racing in Batman Returns, the second Batman film; the fright-masked Green Goblin, who plagued Spider-Man; Magneto, nemesis to the X-Men; and evil genius Lex Luthor, arch-rival of Superman. Plus, coming to movie screens next year are two supervillains that comics fans have been salivating over for years. The Scarecrow, a connoisseur of fear who has long been one of the comics' most horrific bad guys, is at the center of the next Batman film (with Christian Bale donning the cape and bat ears), while perennial fan favorite Dr. Doom, egomaniacal ruler of the mysterious Balkan kingdom of Latveria, will take on the Fantastic Four. "I'm really excited to see what they do with Dr. Doom," says Queseda. "I have some idea what they're doing, but he just seems so cool, I just can't wait." It's alive! It wasn't so long ago that screenwriters and directors adapting comic-book characters to film were limited in what they could do logistically. It's no accident that the best of the Superman films used the brainy Lex Luthor as its main villain; all that was required was a bald guy who could use lots of big words. (It didn't hurt, of course, that Gene Hackman played him to perfection as a comic, but not too comic, foil for the guy from Krypton.) Doc Ock, for instance, would have been almost impossible without computer-generated special effects (the filmmakers also used puppeteers, but don't worry, Octavius is no Muppet). Likewise, Magneto's fearsome magnetic powers would have looked pretty hokey filmed against a conventional blue-screen. "With today's technology, we can bring life to any villain," says Marvel's Arad. By way of proof, he offers that the new Silver Surfer movie will feature an appearance by Galactus, a devourer of planets who tends to dwarf entire solar systems. "We played with that, and we found a way to do it," he says, declining to provide any details. "It's one we thought would be very difficult to do, but we found a way that is very exciting for us." Which means the only limitation is on the writers' imaginations, and the public's willingness to buy into it. Like most of the great adversaries who made the transition, Dr. Doom has a long history with the Fantastic Four. The heroes acquired their powers - one can stretch like a rubber band, one can turn invisible, one can burst into flame and one is a walking pile of bricks - after an unexpected encounter with cosmic radiation. They've been going at one another for more than 40 years, but even that's not tops when it comes to super-powered grudges; The Joker and Batman first butted heads in 1940. "There's like a 50-year-old mythos that we kept sort of wanting to go back to, rather than get too wild," says screenwriter Lee Batchler, who, with his wife, Janet Scott Batchler, penned the script for Batman Forever, where the bad guys were both mainstays of the comic-book franchise, The Riddler and Two-Face. "It's such a fun world." Adds David Hayter, who worked on the screenplays for both X-Men and its sequel, X2, "Over the course of a comic book's life, you will find that one villain in particular keeps coming up, that the writers keep finding interesting things for them to do. You have to ask yourself, 'Who's the iconic villain here?' For us, it was Magneto." Order and chaos But surely, it's not just familiarity that breeds success when it comes to great bad guys. "For me, what always makes for a great villain is a character who is as close as humanly possible to the hero, either in background or in character history and character arc," says Marvel's Queseda, "the big difference between the two of them being that one took a big step to the right, one a big step to the left. ... The villain needs to be almost identical to the hero." This explains why Spider-Man, once a nerdy high-school science whiz named Peter Parker, keeps going up against mad scientists like Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina's Doc Ock) or Norman Osborn (Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin), or why the mutants who form the X-Men keep facing down renegade mutant Magneto. In the case of Batman, The Joker serves as a funhouse perversion of everything the superhero and his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, stand for. "In some ways, the best villains are a dark image of the superhero," says Dan DiDio, who as DC Comics' vice president of editorial oversees that company's superpowered universe (which includes the granddaddies of the genre, Superman and Batman). "Look at Batman and The Joker - it's a force for order vs. a force for chaos. The worst thing about The Joker is the randomness of everything he does. It's hard for anybody to build an ordered structure while there is random chaos about you." It's also important that the bad guys not be all bad; their villainy has to arise from something other than arbitrary nastiness. Both Doc Ock and the Green Goblin, for instance, are scientists who have watched their life's work go horribly awry. And while Magneto is a superpowered mutant just like the X-Men, he's grown tired of being perse-cuted because he's different. Rather than use his power to help the world, he's opted to conquer it instead. Shouldn't the most powerful, he argues, be the ones who rule? "If you were sitting in a bar with Magneto and listening to his argument," says Queseda, "you're going to walk away either saying, 'I'm on your side,' or, 'I see your point, but I don't agree with you.' " As Arad explains it: "You have to see the humanity in the villain; otherwise, he's just a monster." That said, it's not enough that the villain be sympathetic, or that he be powerful, or that he be colorful. He should have an ax to grind - and not just against humanity as a whole. The best super-villains hold serious grudges against even the mightiest superheroes. "Look at Superman and Lex Luthor," says DC's DiDio. "Superman is this omnipresent being who's extremely powerful, and Luthor is basically an average man. His intense hatred of Superman is what drives him. He uses all his money, all his skills, all his knowledge against the world, all because of his intense hatred against Superman." The master's word Permit Stan Lee to have the last word - appropriate, since he helped create just about every supervillain in the Marvel universe. Dr. Doom, Magneto, Dr. Octopus, the Green Goblin - they're all his. He's the last of the giants who helped steer the comic book through its infancy in the 1940s, and more than anyone is the man responsible for their resurgence in the early 1960s. For him, the answer to what makes for a great villain is disarmingly simple - great writing. "I have a theory: that you can make anybody work well in a book or on the screen, if you write them the right way. You can take any character and make him interesting, if you think about it enough." Lee talks with a father's pride about his creations, refusing to play favorites. And while there are certain tricks to the trade he's learned over the years, he insists that making supervillains supercompelling is pretty basic. "You try to make them interesting and believable," he says from the California offices of POW! Entertainment, where he serves as chief creative officer and oversees projects in all major media. "You try to give them interesting personalities and make them somewhat unique, so that people will want to spend some time with them." Come Wednesday, when Spider-Man and Doc Ock show up at your friendly neighborhood movie screens, that shouldn't prove a problem. The article below from NYTimes.com has been sent to you by aharlib@earthlink.net. Fabulous article I hope you will want to post in the next newsletter. Vibes and hugs - Amy aharlib@earthlink.net Not Funnies July 11, 2004 By CHARLES McGRATH You can't pinpoint it exactly, but there was a moment when people more or less stopped reading poetry and turned instead to novels, which just a few generations earlier had been considered entertainment suitable only for idle ladies of uncertain morals. The change had surely taken hold by the heyday of Dickens and Tennyson, which was the last time a poet and a novelist went head to head on the best-seller list. Someday the novel, too, will go into decline -- if it hasn't already -- and will become, like poetry, a genre treasured and created by just a relative few. This won't happen in our lifetime, but it's not too soon to wonder what the next new thing, the new literary form, might be. It might be comic books. Seriously. Comic books are what novels used to be -- an accessible, vernacular form with mass appeal -- and if the highbrows are right, they're a form perfectly suited to our dumbed-down culture and collective attention deficit. Comics are also enjoying a renaissance and a newfound respectability right now. In fact, the fastest-growing section of your local bookstore these days is apt to be the one devoted to comics and so-called graphic novels. It is the overcrowded space way in the back -- next to sci-fi probably, or between New Age and hobbies -- and unless your store is staffed by someone unusually devoted, this section is likely to be a mess. ''Peanuts'' anthologies, and fat, catalog-size collections of ''Garfield'' and ''Broom Hilda.'' Shelf loads of manga -- those Japanese comic books that feature slender, wide-eyed teenage girls who seem to have a special fondness for sailor suits. Superheroes, of course, still churned out in installments by the busy factories at Marvel and D.C. Also, newer sci-fi and fantasy series like ''Y: The Last Man,'' about literally the last man on earth (the rest died in a plague), who is now pursued by a band of killer lesbians.
