Funny Book Adventures - A shameful plug of a video I made thanks to DCM
JoeNewberry:
I asked Captain DJ if it would be okay for me to post this here, and he gave me permission.
I've spent three years trying to turn the first Captain Marvel story in to a Ken Burnsesque cartoon. I'm finally satisfied enough with it to share it with you guys. I couldn't have turned Whiz Comics #2 in to anything if I hadn't had a copy of it, and I couldn't have had a copy of it without the uploaders here are DCM. So I wanted to thank all of you for your time. I'm trying to use the public domain for what I believe it was intended to be used for, to promote new adaptive works that extend the cultural value of the original. As I said to Captain DJ, if one person sees this video and learns to love Captain Marvel, the way that reading the Smithsonian Book of Comic Book Comics made me fall in love with the character in the 5th grade, then it'll all have been worth it.
Funny Book Adventures #1: The Origin of Captain Marvel
Please like, subscribe, smash that bell for notifications of future videos, etc., etc. I'm kidding, please just give it 9 minutes and 45 seconds and see if it captures the old time radio show with Saturday morning cartoon feel that I was going for. I hope you like it, and if not I'm sorry I couldn't entertain you.
Now the first episode took three years to make, so my ambitious intention is to try to start producing an episode every other week, adapted on a rotating basis from lots of different comics and genres. Each genre will get its own title and episode numbering, so Fear from the Funny Books will be horror and crime stories, Funny Bookaneers will be pirates, Frontier Funny Books will be westerns, Funny Books in Love will be romance, Funny Books at War will be military, Futuristic Funny Books will be scifi, and Funny Book Funnies will be funny animals and comedy books.
If you have any suggestions for comics you'd specifically like to see adapted this way, let me know that, too. I'd love to take requests. Right now, I'm just picking things out at random and looking for the most off the wall/amusing/short things I can do.
Thank you for your time and attention.

Thank you! I kept trying to get the embed html/iframe to work, but finally gave up and went with the link instead.

WOW, what a Great Job Joe!
Great use of voice and music as well. It's such a shame the new paper scan wasn't available to you when you started this. But even for fiche scans you've created a very entertaining video!
I'll be sure to share it on our DCM Facebook page as well.
It reminds me greatly of a favourite video game of mine from the 90s from Irrational Games called 'Freedom Force'. A superhero strategy game with heavy influences from Jack Kirby in the visual looks they used. Their secret origin cutescenes are quite similar in style to what you have done. I think you would enjoy giving them a look.
You can see a few of them stuck together in this YoutTube video: https://youtu.be/zXqfLuWh7_U
Thanks for sharing your hard work Joe. It's very impressive! :) :D
