Panel Borders: Chase Promethea, Batwoman!

Panel Borders: Chase Promethea, Batwoman!

Continuing our month long look at unusual depictions of superheroes, Alex Fitch talks to comic book artist and graphic designer J. H. Williams III about his work from early forays into the superhero genre for DC’s imprint ‘Milestone’ to his acclaimed renditions of female characters in Chase, Detective Comics and Alan Moore’s epic Promethea. Alex and Jim talk about the latter’s approach to creating sequential art, from the layout of a page to the relation of a sequence to its surrounding comic or graphic novel and the delegation of work on his new ongoing Batwoman comic.

Primarily Vladimir Nabokov reading from Lolita and other works but also fragments of a strange Russian record I found, and which I can’t decipher at all, although it may be people reading Pushkin…

Lolita read by Vladimir Nabokov, produced by Arthur Luce Klein.

Voice On Record is produced and presented by Sean Williams. Each episode features a selection of recordings of the human voice which have been preserved on vinyl. Historic events stand alongside esoteric guides to better bowling. Arid studio recordings are juxtaposed with location recordings rich with fascinating incidental sounds. http://sbkw.net/voiceonrecord.php
