HTDA - The Loop Closes

When black and white horror comics were still profitable—we talked about this and I've made some copies available for download on my blog before—Jack Kirby was convinced that the future of comics was to be a mature way of telling stories, longer and with better print quality. He was thinking about what we now call graphic novels with broad themes when the industry only saw superheroes on cheap, stapled paper for teenagers.

That's why he started this magazine, using mixed media techniques with photography and seeking to tap into the new age sensibility, despite being a mature man who had fought in World War II. That I've read indicate that it was in a curious, brave, and somewhat misguided work in capturing the angst of the early seventies, but its value lies in the unusual attempt, which I misunderstood at the time. I can't tell you more; I've only encountered reviews and references from comic book historians. But thanks to @spaceintruderdetector, I'm finally going to read this strange thing he supposedly did, and I'm sharing the magazine and my joy…

Tumblr es muy sexual, eso genial, pero no es nada sexy y eso tiene que ver con lo sugerente, lo sutil y la escalada -crescendo-, es muy carnal y eso también es vida, sano y sincero; pero demasiado centrado a lo audiovisual, mostrar y no imaginar, quedando eso en anti intelectual… Intento ser la cura a eso, o no seguir la ola, es eso no y ser rara -que lo soy, claro-

Music has context or - If I can say in Japanese - “Kishotenketsu”, which means introduction, development, twist, and conclusion (you can read more on this idea on wikipedia). Sound is more like a texture and emotions for me. There are no rules! The most important thing is that I feel it’s cool.
