Den was an eye-opening epic on how awesome a comic could be.
Love his artwork. Celebrate this man. Love the channel.
There's only ONE recording I found of Richard Corben (two if you count the original Neverwhere short from the 60s), where he was interviewed in Spain and you could tell the guy was incredibly shy and reserved, didn't quite know how to compose himself on camera and such. Still think my favourite interview moment you guys had was with Mignola who talked about how reserved Corben was.
I do remember Corben being MEGA pissed though that Heavy Metal published that interview that made him look like, in a paraphrasing of his words, "an utter maniac". There was a transcription online back in the day where he did a huge rebuttal of it and I had a lot of respect for that because Heavy Metal was one of his BIGGEST outlets at the time.
This channel made me a huge Corben fan. Once I was aware of his genius I luckily found some of his work that I already owned in some of my longboxes I hadn't looked thru in almost 20 years (Banner mini-series, Hellblazer issues, quite a few random covers like Crusades etc) I've got the new HCs pre-ordered that are releasing soon, can't wait
Great Stuff guys! I just wish you guys had gotten a chance to interview him; that would've been the Best Corben interview ever.
Thank's for this. Corben fan since Heavy Metal. Keep up your important work.
Enjoyed this! Thanks chaps. I read the original HM interview when it came out. I was maybe 13. At the time I loved that Mr Corben was getting his due celebration. Seeing his process (albeit clumsily presented) and things like the reference character models blew my young mind. It wasn't until I read Mr Corben's follow up letter that I realised what a hatchet job the interview was. Made me think about how little control you have on how you might be represented.
I would highly recommend watching the video by Ellis Goodson "Richard Corben's Amazing Color Process". He visited Corben in the 70s (I think before this interview) and Corben gave him a tour of studio and explained in detail his color process.
I believe Goodson made the video as a response to your previous Secrets Revealed video.
As a kid (I'm in my early 50s) HM magazine was like comics from another planet. The quality, the freedom and just all out wildness of the images you'd find in those first few years would sear into your brain. Incredibly influential stuff that came at just the right time for many of us.
I ❤this channel! Thanks, guys!🎯 I started reading Corben with Den in Heavy Metal along side Arzach by Moebius!💥👍 l always wanted to meet Richard and unfortunately never did! But,the next best thing is discovering the work! You covered stuff I never knew about and I fn despise snobby culture clowns browbeating interviews! Corben has a helluva lot to say and his skills more than back him up! His Hellboy contribution in recent years is absolutely beautiful and I would recommend to anyone who wants to see Corben MAGIC to seek it out! The Crooked Man, Nikoma! etc etc! I’ve been with you guys for 2yrs and I’m ALWAYS impressed with your videos! What a fn 💥 blast!🎯 Keep reading and making comix!⚡️
So excited to get those new Corben library books
Totally agree about the Walt Simonson's run on FF... I have 2 ominibus of John Byrne's and read WS run in the 90's... Overlly underestimated (WS run)
The artistic genius that was the late, great Richard Corben. I discovered his work in the summer of 1977 in a few copies of Heavy Metal and was blown away by amazing physical dimensionality of it. As a then budding artist myself, it was a transportive experience.
I read the original interview and agreed with Mr. Corben's response.
Corben and Ron Cobb were always two of my favorites
You cheered me up with your attitude towards Steranko's Outland. I came upon a stand-alone Italian edition by accident in Trieste (it shook me as soon as I opened it at the store) but I lend it to someone years ago and never saw it again. There are ways to enjoy it online but it's not the same. Such grandiose work of comic page design, probably his best work, in my eyes.
And I love Corben for different reasons. But both so psychadelic in the core.
The exploration of the Corben interviews was brilliant. Thank you for it!
Hey Jim, the Warren biography just got reprinted in paperback in case someone snags the hardcover you've been scoping
Man, you guys should check out Corben's "House on the Borderland". It came out in 2000 and it's some of the best "modern" Corben work, really great stuff
Hello ...
Bravo pour votre érudition sur R. Corben 👍
Avez-vous connaissance du récit " HOT BOB "
parut en France en juin 1982 dans la revue " Ère comprimée " N° 16 (éditions Campus) .
Cette histoire a-t-elle été publiée chez vous aux USA ?
Amitiés de France où R. Corben était extrêmement apprécier .
For how insanely prolific he was in the comic book world, I think he might have had a bigger impact on just illustration in general. If you're looking for Corben disciples, you're more likely to find them doing book and cd covers in the 80s and 90s.
I've been bothered by the editors and vibes of Heavy Metal (opposed to Metal Hurlant). There's a distinct lack of respect for the art. It's a collection of the best illustrators in the field and all they care about is its transgression of being comics for adults. Nudity, sex, drugs, that's all they see in it and not the sheer craft.
First. Great work guys!
the gawd.

What an BS Interview in HM. Who say things like "BB: met your wife. She looks like a nice lady, typical human being. She doesn't have huge breasts". What a BS Question. And it goes on like that in the article, unfortunately. I wouldn't have thought HeavyMetal is capable of such a low-level interview. - The whole thing is one unintentional justification of an artist why he draws something like that. I would expect something like this in a conservative mgazin, but not in HM. this makes me angry
I heard Richard Corben did an X-men comic with Alan Moore. Does anyone know anything about this?
He did two (or three) pages in a famine-relief benefit book Marvel did in 1986 or 1987. It was called Heroes Against Hunger (I think) and was an X-Men one-shot. The best characterisation of Magneto up to that point by the incomparable Alan Moore. It is on the internet for free if you look for it.
Sorry. It is called Heroes for Hope.
This interview was unfortunately very bad and I think it soured Corben's relationship with journalism and a big reason why he wasn't really interested in interviews for the rest of his career. That guy is one of the classic interviewers who wants to be the star of the interview, always trying to shove in his editorial views and trying to lead the interviewee rather than just let him be himself. I think if it wasn't for this guy, we could've gotten more Corben "on the record". Btw, I have some Spanish editions of Rip in Time, one of the comics he did with Bruce Jones, and those include a letter section where Corben replies directly to the fans and he's a lot more comfortable and loose in those. Unfortunately those are in Spanish, so I can't share them with you and I've no idea where they were sourced from but those could be interesting to go through in contrast to this rather hostile interview.

Regarding "theme", that's a classic point of view from someone who comes into a work of art with somewhat of an academic background, probably in literature. I say this 'cause I did literature in college and I can't help but go straight in that direction because that's basically what you get "trained" for: theme, and then the techniques that the author uses to address such theme. If you read reviews from critics, regardless of what they're reviewing, they'll probably lean on theme. One of the refreshing aspects of this channel to me, is that you go in completely different directions with your analysis and interviews that I would never go to, and most of the other comic book channels I've seen don't really go into either, so I'd just like to say that if you decide to look into theme a bit more for future content, please don't do it at the expense of what you're already doing because you've got a perspective on comics that's not very well represented on journalism in general and it'd be a shame to lose that uniqueness.

TL;DR: the interviewer is a fucking asshole, and you guys rock. Keep going the way you're going, and only learn what you shouldn't do from this douchebag.
