Wendy Pini and Richard Pini, ELFQUEST, MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH, comic book
2008-02-16 22:10:00 You know when you meet someone early in your life how that?s the person they will always be in your mind?s eye? That?s how I?ll always see Wendy Pini. I was a teenager with a comic book fixation, and she was a stunning redhead who dressed up at comic book conventions as Red Sonja, the chain-mail, bikini-wearing, female barbarian that emerged from Marvel?s Conan the Barbarian comics. She also participated in a nightclub show put together by comics artist Frank Thorne, with Thorne as ?The Wizard.? My friend Bob Pinaha was a little older than me at the time. Well, I guess he?s still older than me, now that I think about it, and he had a real thing for Wendy, so I always saw his latest Polaroid snapshots of her. Wow! We were all doubly impressed over the years as Wendy re-emerged in comics as a successful artist, writer, and publisher and the creator of the Japanese manga-influenced Elfquest books that have endured for the past 30 years. Elfquest, most recently published by DC Comics, w...

2008-02-16 21:55:00 (Return to Part 1) BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: Doing comics online or doing animation as you?re doing it, it?s very appealing, of course, because you get that instant distribution and instant gratification.WENDY PINI: Oh, yes.ANDELMAN: But the financial model is a little iffy isn?t it?WENDY PINI: Well, because the elves have been very, very good to us, Richard and I are in a position right now where we can work because we want to, not because we have to. And it was because of that precisely that I was able to make the kind of arrangement with Go! Comi that I did. The web comic is simply out there at the moment to attract readers and to let them know that the book is coming. Masque is actually going to be three books. It?s going to be slightly larger than average manga volumes, in full color. Each volume is going to be 160 pages long, and the first one will be released in October. So having a web comic up and generating the buzz is like having free advertisement everyday for it.RICHARD P...

2008-02-16 17:57:00 (Return to Part 2)(Return to Part 1)BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: Now, on the property?s 25th anniversary, the two of you signed a major distribution deal with DC Comics. What did you expect from that at the time, and how did it work out in reality?WENDY PINI: Richard?RICHARD PINI: Oooh. Yeah, well, the year before we signed that contract, we sat down with some of the high-ups at DC at the San Diego Comic-Con. We had a wonderful conversation around a big table. There were several of us there, Wendy and I and our agents and the DC folks. And the sky was the limit. We talked about a publishing program. We talked about merchandising programs. We talked about media programs, the possibility of movies or television or whatever. It was a great conversation. And when we signed the contract, which happened coincidentally on the exact day of the 25th anniversary, and we had a 24-hour online chatroom going so that fans all over the world could participate. We were riding high. We were feeling very,...

Masque of the Red Death
2007-10-20 11:30:00 Punchdrunk are a theatre company who stage "promenade performances", wherein you wander at will through the action, the actors and the extensive sets. It aims to be a totally immersive experience, and "Masque of the Red Death", based on a short story by Edgar Allen Poe, is their latest. In the story the land is being destored by a pestilence know as the Red DEath. A prince locks a thousand people away with him in a castle. All is well for six months, then a masked ball is held, and at the stroke of midnight a cloaked figure appears and kills the prince. The figure is the Red Death, and they are all doomed. Punchdrunk have taken over the Battersea Arts Centre for this performance. On entry you are given a white Venecian mask to wear throughout the evening. You are also advised not to talk. You then proceed into the venue. At first this can be disorientating. Everything is dimly, spookily lit with candles or smoky shafts of light through trees and windows. Any door you com...
