Pulp Corner: The Disney Afternoon
Growing up as a child of the late 80’s/early 90’s my household was living in a George Lucas haze. My older brother and I couldn’t get enough Star Wars and Indiana Jones. In my mind heroes didn’t come much greater than Henry Jones Jr.
So when I started to think about what kind of pulp sensibility infiltrated my brain at such a young age it only made sense that I linked it to Indiana Jones. That movie series intentionally had all the hallmarks of what pulp is and what it does. I just left it at that for a long time believing that to be the only catalyst for my love of the genre. It wasn’t until the other day though that that all that changed.
Come back in time with me to 1990, will you?
Mark Page’s Steampunk Art
On a recent trip to Walt Disney World I couldn’t resist stopping in the Art Of Disney store. I have a love affair with art and a serious problem of buying too much without enough space to in my apartment to hang it all (more reason to buy a house you say?). However, when I stumbled upon one particular piece of art, I did a double take.
Am I seeing a steampunk version of Uncle Scrooge’s car? Furthermore it’s a time machine? Huey, Luey and Deuy are there too so does that somehow make this DuckTales related? I didn’t need to know anything else because I bought that print immediately.
The artist turns out to be Mark Page a Disney Imagineer oh and there’s more, so much more.
My Love Affair With Scrooge McDuck (And The Carl Barks Library Vol. 12)
I love Scrooge McDuck. When I was a kid DuckTales was essential Disney Afternoon viewing for me every day when I came home from school. It was that Indiana Jones type of pulpy exotic adventure that I loved, lush locations and d-d-danger (right behind you) all in the name of accumulating more riches. It wasn’t until I was much older that I found out Scrooge was originated in comics going way back to the 1950’s by Carl Barks. After grabbing a smattering of the old issues here and there to test the waters I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. So I decided to do the only right thing left for me to do an order the first volume of the Carl Barks Library.
Ducktales… Coming back to a console near you!
