Bill Cunningham, MPB

a set of pages from the upcoming HELLOWEEN: The Book of the Movie by Shogun Films in the UK. This chapter will be on marketing and distribution of the film.

I've been busy clowning around...

In the spirit of Black Friday and so on, here is a work-in-progress draft of our next issue of MAQ - The Bigfoot Issue!
Original artwork is by Earl Norem from the Six Million Dollar Man magazine from Charlton. In this case he's a 4-armed Bionic Yeti! We have more surprises in store so stay tuned!

"You do you"
#rulestoliveby

My one concession to the idea of putting Christmas decor up before Thanksgiving. Currently on display in my living room.

Idea 4 my Substack: substack.com/@billcunning... : If one were an #indiefilm #entrepreneur, they could create an @unrealengine.bsky.social #movie for this property. An #animated #film production with the wonder and adventure of #spaceexploration. #MajorMattMason #Toys

Did he write for the MAMs? I am certain they adapted several of his novels into what they called "Book Bonus " features. @bobdeis.bsky.social

We are soliciting opinions (oh boy!) on undertaking this long-term multi-volume project. A visual guide to every MAM published in the US along with sidebars on the people who created them. A reference and celebration for collectors and fans.

Reminds me of a Louisiana shotgun.

I think this is a great piece by Ron and would make a great RPG Manual cover or some such thing. If you publish #rpgs then please contact Ron. The man is 90 and he's still painting pieces like this.

Worked with this big fella today...

Me, 3 weeks and 5 minutes later: *tossing cans of gas on the fire. You have to make sure.* Bonus move - afterwards salting the earth underneath.

YouTube video by matttt - comic & manga history How manga broke the US comic industry

A good #documentary on how #manga took over the US #comics industry.

#mensadventure #pulpculture

A newspaper tabloid comic. 16 pages of Eisner drawn and edited comics THAT CAME FREE WITH YOUR SUNDAY PAPER!!! A new distribution method that dictated new ways to tell #comics stories.
Distribution changes everything!

I had the pleasure of working with director Craig Baxley on an NBC TV movie. We chatted briefly about ICIP, and I was inspired. Terrific gentleman and I learned a lot on that movie.

The "Book of the Movie" I am currently wrapping up. Available at Christmas so I had better quit clowning around...

If the Epstein emails have taught us anything, it's that the internet never forgets. Act accordingly.

I enjoyed the one on Prime.

And I find the whole idea of floppies - digital or print - as collectible to be abhorrent. They are the market research that leads to collections, albums, and, yes, movies and merchandise. They are meant to be distributed like dandelion petals, not sealed in plastic.

I had the pleasure of seeing this at the theater and later meeting Stuart Gordon when I was developing a project with Bill Martell. This is on my 🎄 list.

These are the lessons we all need to learn. The bar has been set. It's up to us to take the leap over.

Two of my early #comic collections from my Pulp 2.0 label. Vol.1 is a Twilight Avenger #serial in 4 chapters. Vol.2 is 4 Twilight Avenger #B-movies. John Wooley & Terry Tidwell created this wonderful #cinema inspired #adventure comic that I sought because I ❤️ it. A 3rd volume is on the boards.

As a follow-up, I will be posting on Substack approximately once a month. These will be longer, more substantial observations, as well as interviews with people who've put in the work both past and present.

No. Just no.

Ps. I want a period correct MATT HELM series of assignments. Ideally, John Hamm as Helm.

Show us!

We just finished this, and it's available to blow your pulpy socks off! Order our 13th volume now!
