COMIC BOOKS have propelled many a film and TV career. Hell, various SPIDERMAN movies have kept various movie studios alive. DC COMICS was a pillar at WARNER BROS. The MARVEL UNIVERSE has made billions for DISNEY. And where the hell would we be if WILLIAM F. GAINES hadn’t taken over running EC COMICS from his dad in the late 1950’s. EC published titles like VAULT OF HORROR, THE HAUNT OF FEAR and TALES FROM THE CRYPT. I confess to being a COMIC BOOK NERD with a stack of EC comics under the covers, a flashlight within reach, and a bottomless appetite for the DEEPLY IRONIC, equal-parts-FUNNY-AND-SCARY, eye-poppingly-gory stories within those EC panels.
This episode’s guest – GREGORY NOVECK – was even more of a comic book nerd. He’s a writer and a talented producer who achieved his dream job when he became Senior Vice President of Creative Affairs at DC Comics in 2003. His task: take the whole DC UNIVERSE forward into TV, features and the internet. Gregory stayed at DC until 2011 when he went to work at SYFY NETWORK and then, later, PARAMOUNT+.
But, storytelling remains Gregory’s passion. He’s got some great projects in the hopper.
Before we get there, we’ll trade JOEL SILVER STORIES – because Gregory spent a few years, like us, working with/at SILVER PICTURES. We’ll talk about the SHOWTIME series JEREMIAH, the SYFY movie BLOODSUCKERS, JOE DANTE, GEORGE R.R. MARTIN, and comic books, comic books, COMIC BOOKS!
