TO DO: Shanower to speak on Trojan War 11/16

Eric Shanower, whose AGE OF BRONZE is one of the most amazing
comics being publisher, will be talking about the Trojan War at
the University of Cinncinati on November 16, at 7 pm.

In words and pictures he will demonstrate how he uses both
the literary and archaeological traditions to create a new
version of the story for today's readers.

The continuing graphic novel series, Age of Bronze,
encompasses the complete story of the Trojan War, from the
abduction of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world,
through the fall of Troy when the Greeks used the Wooden
Horse to gain entrance to the city. Age of Bronze began
publication in 1998 from by Image Comics, Inc. Since then
Shanower has won major comic book industry awards for Age
of Bronze, including the Eisner Award for Best
Writer/Artist in both 2001 and 2003. The second volume of
the series, Age of Bronze: Sacrifice, was selected as one
of the Best Books of 2004 by the editors of Publishers
Weekly.

The earliest versions of the Trojan War story are The Iliad
and The Odyssey composed by Homer in the 8th century BCE.
These two epic poems form the foundation of Western
literature and have been famous for centuries around the
world. Many of the greatest writers and artists down the
years have used Trojan War themes and episodes in their
work, fleshing out the story, adding new characters and
events, and retelling the ancient story in new ways. These
include the Roman poet Virgil, Chaucer, Shakespeare, James
Joyce, Eugene O'Neill, among many others. Shanower is
drawing upon all these sources for Age of Bronze to present
what he hopes is a definitive version of the Trojan War
story.

In addition to written and artistic sources, Shanower also
delves into the archaeology of Late Bronze Age Greece and
the surrounding areas. Of particular interest is the
ancient city of Troy itself. The University of Cincinnati
is the US partner in the international Troy Project, the
excavations that began in 1988 at the site of historic Troy
in northwest Turkey. Says Shanower, "I'm glad and grateful
for this opportunity to come to Cincinnati and meet the
people who have been actually digging at Troy, recovering
the history. It's very exciting."

Eric Shanower will be speaking about Troy and Age of Bronze
on Wednesday, November 16, at 7 pm in Blegen Library 308 at
the University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati, Ohio. The
Blegen Library is off Clifton Ave. at the corner of
Straight St. by the main entrance to campus. The general
public is welcome. There is no charge.

WIZARD WORLD TEXAS: ASPEN PANEL

  ARLINGTON, Texas -- Michael Turner said the Fathom live-action
movie continues to be as close as it has to becoming a reality at
20th Century Fox.

  "The latest script is at Fox and hopefully we'll know in a
couple of weeks," Turner said Saturday at the Aspen Comics panel
at Wizard World Texas. "It's kind of wait-and-find-out on how the
script is taken by Fox."

  The current script, which Turner described as "a prequel to the
comic," is by Sean O'Keefe and Will Staples, who also wrote the
upcoming King Tut.

  "They read the Fathom books," Aspen's Frank Mastromauro said.
"These guys really get it.

  Aspen recently signed a deal with CAA, and Turner said he wants
the company to gradually grow into movies, animation and video
games.

  In other news from the panel:

  * Turner said he will write a new series next year, to be drawn
by Micah Gunnell. "It's very different, very cool," he said.

  * The Soulfire hardcover, due later this month, will also be
available in a signed slipcover edition.

  * Turner is aiming for a mid-2007 release for Ekos, following a
six-issue project with Marvel Comics.

  * Aspen, Kiani and Cannon busts are targeted for a late
spring/early summer release.

  * Turner's Fathom #4 covers will be turned into prints.

  * Aspen released an early convention edition of Aspen Seasons
2005: Fall.

BLUTH DONATES 1 MILLION + PIECES OF ART TO SCAD

With the signing of a major gift agreement, the Savannah College
of Art and Design recently was designated as the recipient of a
significant collection of more than 1 million pieces of art
including animation cels, drawings and sketches by producer,
director and animator Don Bluth and his artistic partner Gary
Goldman.

The collection, valued in the millions, includes original
animation art from Bluth and Goldman's 30-year creative
partnership, including art from the well-known animated classics
"The Secret of N.I.M.H." (1982), "An American Tail" (1986) and
"All Dogs Go To Heaven (1989)," and their classic video games
"Dragon's Lair" (1983) and "Space Ace" (1983).

"Don Bluth and Gary Goldman are icons in the animation world,"
said SCAD Dean of the School of Film and Digital Media Peter
Weishar. "This collection will enhance academic studies and
understanding and inspire new creative endeavors for the more
than 1,750 students in the School of Film and Digital Media.
Students studying animation, broadcast design, cinema studies,
interactive design and game development, and other disciplines
will benefit from this magnificent gift. We are very fortunate
and grateful to Don Bluth and Gary Goldman."

The Savannah College of Art and Design's reputation and growth in
the School of Film and Digital Media led Bluth and Goldman to
donate the collection to the college. "We are very familiar with
SCAD's recent accomplishments in the field of animation and their
large animation student population," said Goldman. "We felt that
having access to our archive of animation art would be of value
to SCAD animation students and faculty."

Goldman went on to say that he and Bluth felt that students would
benefit from studying the collection whether seeking a career in
traditional or computer-generated animation. "A thorough
knowledge of traditional or classical animation and its history
will help teach new artists in the field of animation," he said.
"Having access to the original art for storyboarding, character
and FX animation, layout and background painting, will enable the
students to see the analyzation and research involved to bring
animated characters and environmental phenomena to life."

Spanning 50 years, Bluth's illustrious career includes work with
studio giants such as Walt Disney Productions and 20th Century
Fox Film Corporation. Bluth has distributed his independent films
through MGM/UA, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros and The Samuel
Goldwyn Company all produced at his own studio, Don Bluth
Entertainment. Originally an English literature major at Brigham
Young University, Bluth auspiciously began his career in 1955 as
an assistant animator to John Lounsbery on Walt Disney's
"Sleeping Beauty" (1959).

Bluth has worked in all categories of traditional animation, from
mixing colors for ink and paint to writing scripts, directing
scenes and even composing songs. His career took off at Disney,
where he served as an animator for "Robin Hood" (1973), directing
animator for "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too" (1974) and "The
Rescuers" (1976), director of animation for "Pete's Dragon"
(1977), and producer and director for "The Small One" (1978).

Bluth's name came to the public's attention in 1979 when he
resigned his position at Walt Disney Productions along with long-
time partners and fellow animators Goldman and John Pomeroy to
start Don Bluth Productions. Since that time, Bluth has written,
directed, produced and designed characters and environments for
12 films, one featurette, the two-minute animated sequence in the
film "Xanadu," and three laser disc video games. Along with "The
Secret of N.I.M.H.," "An American Tail" and "All Dogs Go To
Heaven," his noteworthy films include "The Land Before Time"
(1988) and "Thumbelina" (1994). Working with Fox Animation
Studios, Bluth also created "Anastasia" (1997), "Bartok the
Magnificent" (1999) and "Titan A.E." (2000). His video games
include the well- known "Dragon's Lair" (1983), "Space Ace"
(1983) and "Dragon's Lair II: A Time Warp" (1989).

Bluth's partner, Goldman began his career in 1972 on the animated
motion picture "Robin Hood" as a rough assistant animator to
supervising animator Frank Thomas. Goldman's career continued as
an animator on Disney's "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too" (1974)
and "The Rescuers" (1976), and as directing animator on "Pete's
Dragon" (1977) and "The Small One" (1978).

Goldman worked as a directing animator, producer, co-director and
supervised post-production on all of their independent films
including "The Secret of N.I.M.H.," "Dragon's Lair," "Space Ace,"
"An American Tail," "Dragon's Lair II: A Time Warp," "The Land
Before Time," "All Dogs Go To Heaven," "Thumbelina," "Anastasia,"
"Bartok the Magnificent" and "Titan A.E." Goldman's last three
films were produced in Phoenix, Ariz., for Fox Animation Studios,
which Goldman co-helmed the establishment of in 1994 at the
invitation of 20th Century Fox executives Bill Mechanic and Peter
Chernin.

The collection is currently being assessed and cataloged and
permanent plans for the collection will be announced.

On Saturday, Nov. 5, 7 p.m. SCAD will honor Bluth and Goldman at
the Savannah Film Festival with a Lifetime Achievement Award in
Animation.

SONY CONFIRMS CHURCH AS SANDMAN FOR SPIDER-MAN 3

Sony Pictures has put an end to months of speculation as to just
which villain actor Thomas Haden Church will be portraying in
Spider-Man 3 by posting the first image of the actor from the
film on the Official Spider-Man Movie Site.

Under the title "Guess Who?", the image features Church wearing a
distinctive green striped shirt and bears the caption, "Thomas
Haden Church as Flint Marko".

Church was announced as Spider-Man's new big screen archenemy
back in March though the character's identity was kept secret.

That 70's Show star Topher Grace has also been cast in the film,
but his character's identity is similarly being kept under wraps.

anything more from working with my editors... except
perhaps the keys to that experimental Batplane they keep on

the creators? Not a chance."

Brad Meltzer Exclusive With DC
Meltzer, Lee, New York Comic-Con GoHs
 November 08, 2005
Novelist Brad Meltzer, who wrote the universe-altering Identity
Crisis mini-series for DC Comics, has signed an exclusive
agreement with America's oldest comic book publisher.  Meltzer,
who also followed Kevin Smith with a popular run on DC's Green
Arrow, is a best-selling novelist (The Tenth Justice, The First
Counsel, The Zero Game) with a real flair for creating Washington
DC-based governmental thrillers and the co-creator of the
critically acclaimed Jack & Bobby TV series.

Although the nature of Meltzer's next DC project remains unclear,
his agreement with DC is further indication of the comic book
industry's increasing ability to attract highly talented writers
from other media (see "Marvel Announces Three Projects With Best-
Selling Authors").  Meltzer's Identity Crisis was not only a hit
in the direct market -- the collected version has also been one
of the top-selling superhero graphic novels in bookstores in
2005.

DC also announced that Meltzer, along with DC superstar Jim
Lee will be Guests of Honor at the inaugural New York ComicCon in
February 2006.

Pantheon Graphic Novel Based on a Movie
Of Philip K. Dick's 'A Scanner Darkly'
 November 09, 2005
Pantheon has announced a graphic novel composed entirely of
stills from the forthcoming animated motion picture based on A
Scanner Darkly, Philip K. Dick's haunting novel of addiction and
corporate corruption set in Orange County in a drug-addled near
future.  Innovative filmmaker Richard Linklater (Slackers) has
written and directed the film, which stars Keanu Reeves, Robert
Downey, Jr., Woody Harrelson, and Winona Ryder, and which
utilizes live action photography overlaid with an advanced
animation process known as "interpolated rotoscoping." The result
is a visually striking film, which Pantheon has turned into an
equally striking, fumetti-like graphic novel with dialogue by the
American Splendor creative team -- Harvey Pekar, and Laura and
Gary Dumm.

Philip K. Dick, who died in 1982, is clearly one of the finest
science fiction writers of the 20th Century.  His novels and
short stories have also formed the basis for a number of
extremely interesting films including the genre-defining
Bladerunner (1982), Total Recall (1990), and Minority Report
(2002).  Linklater's film of A Scanner Darkly is slated for
release by Warner Independent Films in March of 2006.  Vintage
Books is reissuing A Scanner Darkly (Dick's best-selling novel)
in February simultaneously with Pantheon's publication of the
full-color A Scanner Darkly graphic novel (cover price: $15.95).

attend the April 28-30 2006 Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon,

event with Stan Lee and a university professor," reports Peter
Dixon co-promoter of Comicon and owner of Paradise Comics, "and
since so many people were looking forward to hearing Stan talk,
we owe it to the fans to try to make it work, and depending on
the feasibility of video-conferencing we may do more of it with
additional guests and celebrities who are unable to attend in
person."

"While we are disappointed that Stan Lee won't be able to attend
in person," Dixon added "the show will go on. Stan Lee has still
agreed to sign some books for us when we visit him in the spring
