Larry Brody: Live! From Paradise! #24 – ‘Chiggers!’

THE USUAL NOTE FROM LB: From the summer of 2002 to  the spring of 2010, Gwen the Beautiful and I were the proud and often exhausted owners of a beautiful Ozarks property we called Cloud Creek Ranch.

In many ways, the ranch was paradise. But it was a paradise with a price that started going up before we even knew it existed. Here’s another Monday musing about our adventure and the lessons we learned.

Oh, and if y’all detect any irony, please believe me when I say it comes straight from the universe and not your kindly Uncle Larry B. read article

The Stan Lee Conversation Goes On

by Larry Brody

As everybody who visits this website with any regularity knows, Stan Lee died last week. His private, family funeral, in fact, was last Thursday.

Still, the reminiscences about him continue, especially among people who visit TVWriter™.  We’ve published a couple of them, by Gerry Conway and Rob Liefeld, and a couple more that have struck me as especially insightful are George R.R. Martin’s Farewell to a Marvel and Jess Zafarris’ republishing of Stan Lee’s 1947 Guide to Writing and Selling Comics.

I wasn’t a close friend of Stan’s, but we worked together on animated versions of Spiderman, The Silver Surfer, Spider-Man Unlimited, and even a few Marvel series that never made it to the air. read article
