The 'Lost' Comics Documentary of 1978 - As Presented At the 2014 Comic-Con International by John Siuntres!
 
 

  
  

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #4010-    One of the panels / programs at Comic-Con International that I attended this year was the program titled:  "The Lost 1978 Comic Book Documentary" held on Thursday night.  This is what the program was supposed to be about:

John Siuntres (Word Balloon Comics Podcast host) and Mark Waid (Thrillbent Comics) present this rarely seen in the U.S. short film. In 1978 the Canadian TV Show Behind The Scene produced a 20-minute look at the comic book business featuring footage shot at the offices of DC and Marvel Comics. Narrated by comedian Jonathan Winters, the film stands as a time capsule look at how comics were made and marketed in the pre-digital world of the mid-20th century. You'll see footage and comments from Stan Lee, Archie Goodwin, Neal Adams, Julie Schwartz, Denny O'Neil, Jim Steranko, John Romita, and many more! The audience will get the chance to answer trivia questions about the footage they see and win prizes.

Well... The audience and I were captured by this documentary that was aired!  Seriously folks, this was a vintage documentary shot during 1978 and hasn't been shown elsewhere per John Siuntres.

Indeed there were a lot of questions asked after the program was shown.  There was a lot of interest in this documentary, and John is working on how to get this program shown elsewhere legally.

I for one was amazed to see early shots of Jim Steranko, and John Romita Jr., among those pictured in this documentary.  I have seen both of those mentioned recently at comic cons and it is "strange" to see how they looked in 1978.  This is truly an amazing documentary, and I wish John all the luck in getting the film ready for publication world wide!
