Cereal At Midnight

Cereal At Midnight sits down with writer and indie comix giant Jan Strnad to talk about the early days of comics, sci-fi, fantasy, and horror fandom, his years at Disney TV Animation, writing Star Wars , and his decades-long friendship and working collaboration with illustrator Richard Corben. (Continued from Part 1 ) Cereal At Midnight : As someone who cared enough about genre entertainment to publish Anomaly , a fanzine filled with the work of great creators (including your long-time friend and collaborator Richard Corben) do you have any thoughts on the current state of fandom? You said there's an incredible amount of first rate material out there. Is it harder to find that material now that we're being super-served with genre entertainment? And does the fact that so much of this genre entertainment is coming from major corporations and not independent voices have any impact on the conversation?

Those comic origins shine through in the feature film, which retains the underground, independent spirit of the source material while striking a more all-ages tone that jettisons things like nudity from the original tale in favor of something more approachable.  MEAD is not just the name of the film, it's also the moniker of the mechanical wonder (voiced by Patton Oswalt) at the center of the story.
