SEPARATED AT BIRTH: FISTY SCENT (Curtis 9-11 ReMix)
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007VAUGHN BODE IS HIP-HOP…
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007If I could point to one of the most influential graphic artists in my lifetime I would have to start with VAUGHN BODE (pronounced Bo DAY). This where graffiti begins in my opinion. BODE used a conflated, puffy style of lettering and his characters like the Cheech Wizard, the lizards and the voluptuous nymphs are mandatory elements of all the best graff artists evar. If you don’t own any Cheech Wizard or Junkwaffel comics and you consider yourself a true graff artist I suggest that you should leave the house now and buy his entire series, or hang yourself nude from the shower head in your parents’ basement.
VAUGHN BODE was a rebel artist and storyteller. He was one of the fabled underground artists along with ROBERT CRUMB who would give birth to subversive publications like Eerie and Heavy Metal.
VAUGHN BODE was an outspoken critic of the Vietnam War as well as an underground voice for the civil rights movement. It was with his art and his storytelling that he challenged the J. EDGAR HOOVER led government and their attempts to censor all forms of art, and more importantly, thought.
It’s interesting to understand how a high, horny green lizard could become such an icon of the rebel artists that would leave their designs along subway cars and handball courts throughout New York City. Everyone could relate to these characters, and we certainly would lust after the women that BODE illustrated with all the curves that his pencil could contain.
I gave Puma a lot of shit for their Yo! MTV Raps bastardization project, but after I saw that they gave love to one of my heroes I had to fall back. They should have made a hat as well since the Cheech Wiz was all about his hat.
Like so many special voices VAUGHN BODE was taken aboard the mothership before we could all experience his gifts firsthand, but his comicbooks still exist and they are still relevant considering we are governed now by an administration with more dirty tricks than NIXON himself.
I imagine that VAUGHN BODE is on the mothership right now making the walls beautiful and oh so colorful. Real recognizes the realest, and DP Dot Com respects the architects.
DP Dot Com Super Heroine Series: TALIA AL’GHUL
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007I could prah’lee do a series just on the chicks that the Bat has banged out over the years. I almost think that Batman is a faggot because he is always getting next to bad broads. He doesn’t have the numbers of anyone less than a ten in his phonebook. Only fags stay next to supermodels that much. There is not one buster on this man’s resume. That’s pretty impressive. This chick, Talia Al’Ghul was one for the ages, literally.
Talia Al’Ghul was the daughter of Batman’s nemesis Ra’s Al Ghul. Typical for the Bat is that he only effs with chicks that are severely insane in the membrane. Talia Al’Ghul makes Catwoman look as sane as SUZE ORMAN. Sometimes she feels like a nut and does some crazy shit to kill thousands of people and move her father’s goal of genocide further and sometimes she lets the Batman give backshots to her sweet Persian baklava. It’s all so crazy.
I started to get into Talia Al’Ghul after I copped a NEAL ADAMS’ drawn Detective comic book and I saw this exotic young hotness whom the Bat was sticking his tongue down her throat. I was like, “Dayum!” and I grew up thinking that Arabic chicks were sexy mommas. Until RONALD RAYGUN showed me otherwise. True story though is that I had a monster crush on my Geometry tutor when I was thirteen, and I so badly wanted to give her Iranian arse my chocolate rain.
Anyhoo, I never did smash anything Persian after all, and I’m certainly not messing with any of those suicide bomber broads at this point. Just like Talia Al’Ghul these Arabic chicks might be sexy, but their politics make them complicated as fuck.
A COMICBOOK CLASSIC TURNS TWENTY FIVE YEARS OLD…
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007I will give away a couple of copies of the ‘DareDevil’ movie on DVD for anyone that can tell me the issue number where Bullseye and Elektra fight each other. That issue turned twenty five years old this summer and Target had a sale on DVD’s.
Now is the time for you to get some free ish from DP Dot Com and put your name on our ‘snail mail’ list. That means more free ish will come your way. It’s a win-win situation for you. The ‘DareDevil’ movie is based on a plotline written by FRANK MILLER.
DareDevil’s most electrifying and complex villains all come together in this movie to create a dynamic superhero action flick. I dig this film, and I think you will too.
The movie stars BEN AFFLECK as the man without fear, COLIN FARRELL is the psychotic assassin Bullseye, MICHAEL CLARKE-DUNCAN plays the nefarious Kingpin, and JENNIFER GARNER is cast as the beautiful killing machine Elektra. Put your bid in quick for this flick because I only have two left to give away.
