I hope this works out for you, bro. I really hope you get something out of this.

Will be keeping my fingers crossed, although it’ll make drawing a bit difficult.

They (IM GLOBAL) look like they are a pretty low budget company so there may be no money just exposure for DJ to captilize on. I mean don’t get me wrong, they have done some cool horror movies I see (I loved 2001 Maniacs) but HBN would need a pretty good budget or a very talented crew to pull it off right or might end up like the ROGER CORMAN FANTASTIC 4.

I hope you are able to laugh all the way to the bank after this past year. HBN on TV would be fantastic. It’s pretty cool that IM Global also brought Religulous to the big screen, so they at least have some money to bring it all together.

I really miss HBN. It was the best new comic to come out in years, from the online diaries to the book itself.

It’s a no-brainer that it would make an incredible movie or tv show, unfortunately Platinum looks to have zero integrity. It’s a real shame that they seem to view such a great universe strictly as a property to be strip mined and then abandoned.

Amphibo- yeah, I know all the Kirby stories. It’s sad. I can’t wait for Mark Evanier’s detailed biography, I loved the King of Comics book he put out, and the last inside image actually makes me tear up every time I see it. I wish the comic book industry was ALL Jack Kirby again.

Told my partner in crime, Cramps music icon artist Stephen Blickenstaff, about DJ’s being a Kirby fan he reminded me of the sad end of so much of JK’s original artwork. See below:

But Kirby proceeded to push for creator rights on another front: he attempted to obtain pages of his original comic art from Marvel. His quest led to a much-publicised public furore involving not only the pages of art but the particulars of the creation of the Marvel Universe itself. Kirby eventually received nearly 2,000 of his pages in 1987 after signing a release form stating that he had no claim to the copyright of the material contained on the pages. Unfortunately, it’s believed that most of the estimated 13,000 pages Kirby drew for Marvel during his career were lost or destroyed over the years.
