During his current "Dark Side Of
The Moon" tour, hitting the States in a fortnight, Roger performs his
recent song "Leaving Beirut". To help with the narration of the song,
which details Roger's own story of trying to get back home as a
youngster, Adams' work fills the screen behind the band. Created in
conjunction with Roger, Sony, and Bill Sienkiwitz, the images fill out
the story, and provide a strong visual hook for audiences who
potentially are unaware of the song.
The interview will be aired on
Fanboy Radio, a live comedy radio show about the world of comic books
and pop culture hosted by Scott Hinze and Oliver Tull. It airs from the
KTCU studios in Fort Worth, Texas on KTCU 88.7 FM (The Choice), online
via their internet site's streaming audio, and is syndicated across the United States and Canada.
Apart from his work with Waters,
Adams is responsible for the rebirth of such icons as Batman and Green
Lantern for DC Comics, and the X-Men and Avengers, for Marvel Comics in
the late 60s and 70s. Neal also helped create Deadman, drew the
timeless Superman Vs. Muhammad Ali story, defended comic creators’
ownership rights and founded Continuity Comics and Buzzworthy Studios.
“Good fanboys respect the
creators that built the foundation we enjoy today” says Fanboy Radio
host Scott Hinze. “We speak with icons of current pop culture all of
the time, but to be able to interview such a colorful and important
artist as Mr. Adams is a real treat.”
The other FbR host, Oliver Tull
adds “I’m really excited to talk with Neal Adams. He’s a living legend
of the comic book craft and his naturalistic work inspired a generation
of artists like me. I can’t wait to pick his brain!”
Should be an interesting
interview. Tune in at 1pm Central (2pm Eastern, 11am Pacific) and give
the show a call at (817) 257-7631. Fanboy Radio also broadcasts from www.fanboyradio.com and podcasts from www.fbrpc.com.
