Interviewed by Paul Dale Roberts, Publisher - Jazma Online! http://www.jazmaonlinecom/ Question: Tell us something personal about yourself. Maybe where you were born, something about your family/work background, schools you attended, etc. I was born and raised in Minneapolis, MN, went to college at the University of Utah and spent five years on the U.S. Ski Team. Question: What was the first comic book you ever read? Spider-Man Question: What were your favorite comic books growing up? Other than Spider-Man, I wasn't a major fan of comic books growing up. But much in the same way as I re-discovered Alice in Wonderland, comics hooked me as an adult. Beginning with Alan Moore's The Watchmen and Neil Gaiman's Sandman series I became enthusiastic about the visual worlds and storylines being offered. It was partly a natural extension of my work in film, but at the same time the enormous potential for creative expression was extremely exciting. Collaborating with artists in such a graphic, expressive medium is a whole new world for me. Getting to meet the fans at the different comic cons has been fantastic. Their enthusiasm, knowledge and loyalty is amazing. I hope that Hatter M is something that they will feel deserves their attention. Question: Please brief us about your new comic book "The Looking Glass Wars: Hatter M". The comic book mini-series (Geo-Graphic Volume 1) Hatter M tells the parallel story of Alyss's 13 year exile through the travels of her Royal Bodyguard, Hatter Madigan, as he crisscrosses the globe in a desperate non-stop search to find the lost princess after they are separated in the Pool of Tears while escaping a bloody coup in Wonderland. For those unfamiliar with the first book of the Looking Glass Wars trilogy, the bigger story reveals the true history of Wonderland based upon a stunning discovery which unmasked the ultimate literary lie, a twisted fabrication that had existed for nearly 150 years. While universally accepted that Lewis Carroll was inspired to write his classic children's books to entertain 7-year-old Alice Liddell it is far from true. Lewis Carroll did not tell Alice Liddell the story of Wonderland, she told him! Alice was not born into the Liddell family, she was adopted. Her true identity was Alyss Heart, the future Queen of Wonderland. Lewis Carroll had changed everything and everyone including the identity of her royal bodyguard. Hatter M is not the story of a Mad Hatter. Hatter Madigan is an expert bladesman, a ranking High Cut of the Wonderland Millinery and not the tea guzzling madman of children's lit. Aggressively focused on the one purpose in his life, Hatter's search for Alyss commences immediately and continues incessantly leaving the whispers and totems of myth in the wake of his non-stop quest. Coming from Wonderland, Hatter must learn to navigate our world. Since Wonderland's language consists of a system of energy and rhythm, Hatter faces no language barriers and is able to transmute and translate everything from Zulu to dolphin as he crisscrosses the globe in search of Alyss. But while he begins his search intent upon the single purpose of finding the lost princess, he gradually comes to discover that his travels have a purpose above and beyond this initial motivation and that purpose is to protect and serve Imagination. As revealed in The Looking Glass Wars, Wonderland's great gift to our world is Imagination. As a traveler from the source of all wonder, Hatter will continually find himself facing off against those who wish to either suppress Wonderland's gift or channel the flipside of Dark Imagination for their own diabolical use. This discovery and service to humanity will act upon Hatter and his own humanity as he continues to develop throughout the series. Question: What made you decide to create more stories in regard to the universe of Alice in Wonderland? Writing The Looking Glass Wars had zero to do with creating more stories about Alice in Wonderland. The whole point of LGW was to reveal the truth that I happened to stumble upon in the British Museum. A number of years ago I was in London for the European premiere of THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY. I went to the British Museum and saw an exhibit of ancient cards. For instance, Napoleon hired artists to hand paint depictions of his many victories in battle. But what caught my attention, at the very end of the exhibit, was an incomplete deck of cards illuminated by an unusual glow, almost as though they were alive. I was intrigued by the exhibit and captivated by the images on the cards. This was a very, very different version of Wonderland. For the remainder of my trip I was preoccupied with the images and told several friends, one of whom suggested I meet with an antiquities dealer he knew who specialized in collecting all sorts of ancient playing cards. The next morning, on the way to the airport, I stopped at the dealer's shop. When I told him about the unusual exhibit, he revealed that he in fact owned the cards missing from the deck. I was stunned. He brought out this old, worn leather box filled with cards and told me the story as he flipped one card over at a time, revealing the saga of THE LOOKING GLASS WARS. It was a darker Alyss from a darker world and I knew I was meant to tell the story. Question: Why is there a war going on in Wonderland? There have always been wars in Wonderland as the powers behind White and Dark Imagination have struggled for control. The civil war that sent Princess Alyss Heart fleeing through the Pool of Tears to safety in our world erupted over succession to the Wonderland throne. Alyss's mother, Queen Genevieve, ruled Wonderland but her elder sister, Redd, believed the throne belonged to her. Civil war raged between the sisters for several years before Redd's bloody coup killed both Alyss's parents and left Redd to rule Wonderland until Alyss could return to claim the throne. Why is the war called The Looking Glass War? I named the trilogy The Looking Glass Wars because the battles occur not only in Wonderland but in our world as well with the combatant characters traveling and fleeing back and forth via the Looking Glass portals as the war, retribution and bloodshed escalate. Question: Do we have any new characters in The Looking Glass Wars: Hatter M? Yes. Beginning with the first book of The Looking Glass Wars trilogy and continuing with the comic series Hatter M, readers will both re- discover Lewis Carroll's 'classics' and be introduced to entirely new characters. After my discovery of the cards in the British Museum and the true story behind Lewis Carroll's Wonderland books I began putting all the pieces together and weaving the revelations of just how different the real Wonderland and its inhabitants were compared to the children's lit version the world had known and accepted for nearly 150 years. Carroll's choices in how he changed Alyss's story were so fascinating (he even changed her name!) - the monsters and heroes of her lost world became these cheery reinventions. It was such a betrayal on Carroll's part and was in fact, the reason for the rift that eventually occurred between the writer and his muse. For instance - the characters we know as the White Rabbit, the Red Queen, the Cheshire Cat and of course, the Mad Hatter all appear in The Looking Glass Wars as they were intended to by Alyss when she told Carroll her harrowing tale. The White Rabbit was in fact Bibwit Harte, the six foot albino royal tutor for all Wonderland Queens (Carroll had anagrammed his name to create the White Rabbit), while the Red Queen was in truth Alyss's aunt Redd, the revenge maddened usurper to the throne ably assisted by her top assassin, The Cat, a man size feline who morphs from adorable kitten to giant mutant feline when called upon to kill. So you see, there is a lot of truth to be uncovered. I felt I owed it to Alyss. As for Hatter M, in issue one Hatter meets Sacr???noir, an evil black magician performing in the ancient catacombs beneath Paris and his army of zombies, raised from the dead, as a bloody cabaret show. Many more characters will be introduced as Hatter M circles the globe from 1859-1872 in a non-stop quest to save the future Queen of Wonderland and redeem himself. Hatter Madigan is wracked with guilt and shame over having lost Alyss in the Pool of Tears after her mother had elicited what amounted to a deathbed promise that he would keep her daughter safe and make certain that she someday return to Wonderland to rule. Heavy stuff for a Royal Bodyguard to feel he has failed at. But as in most quests, the end-point is not the entire point. As he travels, Hatter M will meet many of the era's famous and infamous characters. He will influence historical battles, save lives and leave behind a legacy of service to Imagination. Question: How did the concept of your comic book come about? HATTER M the comic just seemed like a necessary, organic progression from all of the work I did with artists on THE LOOKING GLASS WARS. In LGW Book 1, Hatter M was introduced but his story was only explored for about four chapters. There was so much more to tell about his mad search for Alyss that I realized he needed his own forum -- and comic books would allow this dark, compelling, more mature story to be told best. Hatter M is a classic, archetypal comic book hero with his angst, his loss, his barely suppressed rage as he searches the world. Also, by doing Hatter M as a comic book series I am able to connect to and expand upon the universe of THE LOOKING GLASS WARS as it was introduced in Book 1 and as it will continue in Books 2 and 3. So for those fans of the series in the UK and other countries who have read Book 1, the comic is a great way to deepen, enhance, and bridge the world. Of course, since LGW Book 1 will not be available in the states until next year, Hatter M's adventures will be what introduces American readers to the LGW universe. It's a total reversal - but the bridge will be there for anyone wanting to experience more of the world. Question: Who are the creative staff for "The Looking Glass Wars: Hatter M"? Ben Templesmith is the artist and my co-writer on the series is Liz Cavalier. C.J Wrobel is our editor, he's a former Automatic Pictures employee and a huge comic fan, Jason Hanley our awesome letterer and rounding out the team Greg Cook historian and Nate Barlow analysis. Question: How can someone order "The Looking Glass Wars: Hatter M"? At your local comic shop, it's currently in the Previews book. It comes out December 2nd. Question: What is your URL website address? www.lookingglasswars.com - check out the preview pages. Question: How can someone contact you? Sign on at our website, www.lookingglasswars.com or email automaticpictures@hotmail.com or send a note to my production company, Automatic Pictures, 5225 Wilshire Blvd, #525, Los Angeles, CA 90036 Question: How long have you been involved with the comic book industry and what other projects did you work on in the past? This is my first adventure in comics. Question: Your thoughts on the comic industry? I'll let you know after the Hatter M mini-series is published. Question: What cons are you going to?

We'll be previewing the game and giving out playing decks in Anaheim. Please stop and play a hand of Hatter M with us if you get a chance. Of course looking forward to a full con schedule. Question: What movies, cartoons and TV shows are your favorites? Chinatown, Johnny Quest, Seinfeld. Question: What books do you read? Right now The March by E.L. Doctorow, I admire his writing and it's excellent research for the Hatter series, The next mini- series takes place during the Civil War. Question: What are your hobbies and recreational activities? Collecting maps, traveling, and I still love to ski. Question: What comic books do you read now? Recently I've been reading The Amazing Adventures of the Escapist, Mark Waid and Alex Ross's Kingdom Come and a copy of the Oz-Wonderland War Trilogy starring Captain Carrot and his amazing Zoo Crew that I found on eBay. Question: That ends the interview, any last words of wisdom? Recently in Hatter Madigan's journals I read how he had re- created Wonderland foods on Earth during his travels because he missed them so much -- he had written the recipe for tarty tarts and I baked my first batch last week -- absolutely my favorite food so far. _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- COMICS OBSCURA Mike Curtis shandafa@cyberback.com [COMICS OBSCURA are facts Mike Curtis has dug out during his 30 years of collecting Superman and writing about comics. His website for his comic imprint is www.shandafantasyarts.net ] BE EASY ON HIM...HE'S THE NEW GUY The RADIO cast of THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN reunited on two occasions during the 1960's. At Filmation, announcer JACKSON BECK teamed with RONALD LISS (Jimmy Olsen) JOAN ALEXANDER (Lois Lane) and star BUD COLLYER as the Man of Steel. The other project was an album of stories for LEO Records, featuring an origin tale, one with Superboy and the story of how SUPERMAN became president.

His interests include cats, comics and militaria. His writings have been featured on SlushFactory.com, UGO.com, and are currently on the Popthought.com web site. ] A 42 YEAR OLD AGE REGRESSES MONSTERS ON THE PROWL MARVEL Steve Niles and Duncan Fegredo Today I am 13 years old all over again. I picked up MONSTERS ON THE PROWL from Marvel with the last remnants of my birthday money, and it made my hair stand up and sent me on a journey back into time. I was 13, sitting on my bed reading a stack of comics. My older brother and I talking about each comic as we read (we shared a room). Against parental rules we each have a smuggled can of mountain dew with us. And while my brother is blowing through his comics in a short amount of time, the one I have in hand I keep reading because it is so good, I want to soak it in. Like that time, that moment is the comic MONSTERS ON THE PROWL was written by Steve Niles with art by Duncan Fegredo. And it is perfect. You get a fun story about some tough guys and some smart guys fighting all the odd beasts who threatened New York City in old weird Marvel titles during the fifties and sixties. The dialogue is perfect. The story is fun. The art is ideal. Buy this. Buy this now. GIANT MONSTER BOOM! Studios Steve Niles and Nat Jones Tempting as it is to say big monster destroys earth, earth fights back, there is much more to this than that. I've waited three years for this story as I am a great fan of Gargantuan sized monsters, and I have to say that it was a good result, worth waiting for and completely different than I'd expected. In this monster tale the being who becomes the beast is not altogether sympathetic and the humans fighting the beast are not what I'd say are recognizable templates from monster movies. Niles does his best when he takes a creature, makes it pitiable, and then goes to war with humans due to fear and differences. Here you see the genesis of the beast, but did not have time to emotively attach to the human who is host to the horror. What you have therefore is something quite unexpected, something that went beyond the cliche, and something that made me look forward to the second part soon. The production of the book is excellent, the writing excellent, and the art, while not to my taste, still fully able to tell a story that requires story telling ability every bit as much as pin up art. I liked this book. LONELY TOMBSTONE IMAGE Comics Steve Niles, Nikki Niles and Ben Roman Sometimes you gotta wonder why people do not seek professional help. In LONELY TOMBSTONE Darla adopts a Tombstone and she develops a sort of relationship or sort of love for it. Spooky things happen and the end of the story leads to a sort of ending that is both emotionally satisfying and not too sweet as to spoil the dark edge of the work. The nature of the role of Nikki Niles found here in her first bylined work is unknown, however unlike other Niles works where the only mediums or genres they are similar to is the movies that form the reference material in Steve Nile's mind, here there are many visual similarities I find to both Courtney Cumrin (ONI) and GloomCookie (SLG). That this evokes those works is high praise, and due partially to the fine art and otherwise to the story. I think that while this is a title that was not in my realm of taste that it was very good, and if Nikki wants to work with Steve or alone, she is worth watching as a writer. This title has all ages appeal as well as appeal to girls in the awkward stage of adolescence of being attached to tombstones and talking to them. BATMAN: GOTHAM COUNTY LINE DC Comics Steve Niles and Scott Hampton Batman throughout the 1990s and early 21st century has been portrayed as a miserable prick. He is unconscionably rude to his friends, and worse to allies, enemies and bystanders. His quest for vengeance has nearly driven him to become something he himself would despise. And then there is the take upon the character that Steve Niles presents. Sure Batman is a bad ass. Sure he uses violence and force to resolve issues. But the creature beneath the mask is human. And in this story he is seeking to know, what happens after death. Is there life however different? This is a human question that you'd think would have occurred to Batman previous, but if it has I have not read it. There are some issues of note, Joker seems to know who Batman is, intuitively or through mind reading, and as was pointed out to me by close friend Michael May there are violations of DC continuity that are troubling. I do not know however why continuity should be a chain around an ankle. I liked this far more than any recent take on the Batguy. Read for what it is, I suggest that that most non typical Batman readers will enthusiastically return to the rest of the issues of this series. I liked it in all its component parts, production, story and art. HATTER M: LOOKING GLASS WARS IMAGE comics Frank Beddor and Ben Templesmith The Hatter is a dark character, armed with weapons, ominously wearing a top hat and a woeful look. The Hatter aka Madigan is in Paris France searching for Alyss, lost princess of wonderland. He is a literary character come alive in the pages of a comic depicting a supposed real world Paris France but the conceit of the story is never about the seeming juxtapositions of a literary figure becoming "alive" in another world, yet since we are reading it there is yet another level of separation and irony. There are mad amounts of humor here, followed by a deep mystery and intrigue. Madigan hunts, gets lost in the distractions of Paris, and ends up losing his "damn hat". The writing here is compelling, but more clever than anything else, and I did not find it as enjoyable in word as I did in picture. Some of that is the writer, but of course, when there is a mystery, the reader almost always needs to distance himself to attempt to understand the story laid out before him. I think the writing was fine, and I am still thinking about the turns the story took. The art on the other hand was quite brilliant. I definitely think that Ben Templesmith proves here that he is among the few artists in today's comic industry who can evoke mood, with color, line and character. I did not find myself feeling as though I was entering 1858 Paris, but I did find myself being very impressed by the work done, the beauty of it, and the effectiveness of the story telling. This is a book I would buy, and be happy with. It is not a must buy, but clearly worth it for the art alone. ROBITKA ASP Comics Alex Sheikman This preview came in black and white with a personal note from Alex Sheikman explaining the work the colorist is doing and how it adds to the piece. As a first issue the book does not perform all the needed steps that I consider to be successful, as, it is an incomplete work, and does not altogether compel the reader to READ the next issue. But I will. Because the page layout, construction, design, and quality is far greater than most comics I have read, and they were mostly in color. Here the rich black fields of ink are utilized so well that the eye is never forced to look, it is drawn to look because of sensual allure of the beauty of the page. I am a fan of the art here so much that the story of a warrior, mystic arts, enemies, clockworks, and strange happenings is less important than the page itself. Is that wrong? No. The story is fine. But when the art is so good that the story and words are a distraction I cannot wait to read the story as a whole, with color, with each volume at hand. This is an easy must buy for fans of art. BLACKHEART IRREGULARS BLUE KING STUDIOS Neil Hendrick and Ulises Carpintero A team of operatives in Iraq work to prevent terrorist actions while they themselves try to unleash similar actions versus their opponents. Unlike the promotional literature that this is to inspire critical consideration of Islamicist terror, this is more a critical assessment of assholish behavior. After all, if I cause horrible pain in response to your causing horrible pain, who is wrong? They use all sorts of deception and methods to defeat the enemy, but we barely get a look into the heart of either side. If you are a supporter of the war in Iraq this is not well done enough to evoke much of a thrill or action packed ride. If you oppose the war your likely response will be sigh, ho hum, wonder why I read this. I am in between both camps politically, as I disagree with the reasons for going but think the result might well show that it was right to do. For me this title did nothing. I am sorry, fans of the series can burn me in effigy. I read it twice and came away with nothing. UNIT PRIMES vol. 1 Graphic Novel AFTER BURN COMICS $11.95 ITEM # ABC2050 Chris Dreier, Jacob Paplham, Federico Zumel In deep space there is an eater of planets. It causes doom and destruction across galaxies and nothing has been able to stop it. But in addition to just stopping the unstoppable, ask the question, why does it exist? Are there more of them? Does stopping this one mean an end to the threat, or is it just the beginning? A ship of four intrepid space travelers seeks to stop the threat, and in the process, first contact means making allies, and helping others. When crisis approaches do you give up, or fight back? The entire of the story here is straightforward, but if you were to read this as a equal opposite of SIGIL from CrossGen you'd almost certainly enjoy it more. I enjoyed the story, and liked the art. And from preview pages I think that the package is nice to look at. I suspect that if it were in color (which it is not) I'd like it more. But for 12 dollars you get a lot of story for your dollar. SPELLGAME SpeakEasy Comics Dan Mishkin and Ramon Perez Give a writer a chance to write about anything, he is likely to write about something in his heart, an area of interest or fascination. But here, I wonder what the raison d'etre is with this work. Dan Mishkin sent it to me for my consideration and while I did enjoy it, I found the work to be unusual to say the least. The main character has a past, as a successful stage magician, and who now, down upon his luck, cheats folks out of pocket change in crooked card games on the street. A strange turn happens, where the card's recognizable character comes to life. And even stranger events follow. That this book has an interesting premise is a given. Any Mishkin written book at least possesses that. But the characters are not yet familiar, nor are their motives clear. Is this a story about magic gone awry? Or of people of questionable ethics being given great power and it will be a character study in descent or rise? I cannot tell. I can say, that whatever the flaws in this book, I am intrigued enough to buy the upcoming issues. There is great potential here, and I think readers should be slow to judge, as a great mystery, as with a great journey, begins with a single step. The art was good, I enjoyed the writing and I found the premise to be very good. Where it leads I have no idea. REVISIONARY Moonstone Books Paul Storrie and EricJ You read all the time in comics the outrageous, the unusual and the exciting cliche. The Revisionary starts out from a place that is believable and moves rather deftly to a place that while unusual is reasonable. A Psychology student seeks to use his new found knowledge to make money and gain prestige from contests. When he finds out that his skills lead to greater discoveries of gifts and talents, this somewhat slimy character moves from using his talents as a tool for graft, to using his talents for a larger purpose. I am intrigued here by the high concept, and writing. EricJ is a talented artist and his line work shown in black and white and tones, are striking. I think I would have preferred color and I am not certain I liked it, but am certain that there was a great deal of power in his images. I think people who like books where the lead character grows in morality and ethics will find this an interesting study. And the power he is finding himself to possess, is intriguing in itself. STRONGHOLD Devil's Due Phil Hester and Tyler Walpole A terrible accident forces all to watch and one to act. The lead character in this book finds that he has powers far beyond the norm and while he learned this during his heroic act, he seems far more concerned with the long term implications of the power. A demon plays a role, and there is a hint or suggestion that the power is cosmic. I found that "the average person now possessing great power" was a good angle, and the future of the title would seem to be good as this would seem to be fertile ground to a good author. While a good story, and with a premise that worked, the art was not to my taste and found it to be of a range that did not express emotion well. However I am very content that in the world of art there are a wide variety tastes, and others will no doubt find much to enjoy. It is not a matter of talent, but in style and look. FF/IM : Big in Japan Marvel Comics Zeb Wells and Seth Fisher The Fantastic Four goes to Japan for the opening of a museum devoted to Kaiju, or Giant Monsters. They are welcomed as popular culture stars, with adoring fans. The Tokyo Giant Monster Museum and Expo Center is a conceit, a story device wherein the characters are able to talk about their adventures and to lead to the crux of the problem, that is, the curator has led research towards monster DNA being used to help mankind. Iron Man/Tony Stark joins the FF at the Museum opening, and shortly thereafter, the monsters arise. I like Kaiju. I like the FF and Iron Man, and while I do not altogether like Manga or Anime, I am a Japanese History historian. So there is a lot here I am predisposed to like. And somehow, I didn't. The art was good, the story was true to the characters, but ... I do not know why I did not like it, but I did not.
