Jedna zanimljiva anegdota čuvenog Marvelovog urednika Jima Shootera...
izvor:
www.jimshooter.com/2012/03/doctorow-doctrine-and-other-techno.html
Once upon a time when I worked at Marvel, at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair, I went with our licensing executives to a meeting with a Yugoslavian publisher (it was still Yugoslavia back then).
The Yugoslavian publishing execs ushered us into the private office portion of their stand where there was a small freezer. The freezer was packed full of vodka. They poured all present a tumbler full of vodka. We’re talking eight ounces, here, at least. They insisted that before any business could be discussed we must all drink.
It was 9:00 AM.
One of our licensing execs didn’t drink. At all. I think her name was Laura. Anyway, she politely declined. The Yugoslavians were adamant. No drink, no meeting.
Laura reluctantly took a sip. Her glass, almost imperceptibly less full, was nonetheless immediately replenished.
As were all other glasses, each and every time a drop was drunk.
After many a toast, to Marvel, to America, to Yugoslavia, to Bologna, to vodka, whatever, we started to talk business.
Hic.
Once he judged us sufficiently lubricated, the Yugoslavian publisher excitedly showed us a printed copy of an album, already on sale, made using EPIC Illustrated material.
“But we haven’t started licensing EPIC yet,” said I.
“Look!” he said, “Look at the production values!” He was so proud.
The book looked great. I asked him where the @#$%& he got the repro film. He told me they shot their film from a printed copy of EPIC! Rescreened it! Doctored it up! Wasn’t it beautiful?!
It looked better than the original.
“Don’t worry,” he said, “We’ll pay. We just couldn’t wait for contracts.”

Mali off topic, ali evo jos jedne price iz tog perioda.
Iz intervjua sa Alom Williamsonom, godina je 1984.
WILLIAMSON: The syndicates are a bunch of morons, most of them, because they don’t know what they’ve got. They don’t give a damn: they just sell stuff. I’ll give you an instance: Flash Gordon by Alex Raymond. Alex did it for 10 years, from 1934 to 1944. Ten years and four months of it. And that stuff has kept King Features going for the last 50 years. First, when Raymond was doing it, and then the movies, and then the reprints in Europe. And the reprints in Europe with Raymond’s stuff is that every two or three years they come out with a new reprint of the same stuff, and you know King Features is making money off that. But they don’t give a shit. When we were doing the Nostalgia Flash Gordon book, do you know what they gave us to do? They gave us to reproduce from Xeroxes, bad ones. Not Xeroxes — Photostats. They were blown up from microfilm. That’s what we had, that they gave us. Luckily, I had a set in black and white, and we got the missing stuff from Mrs. Raymond.
RINGGENBERG: You helped assemble the volumes?
WILLIAMSON: Yes.
RINGGENBERG: What did you think of the color volumes they came out with?
WILLIAMSON: They were awful. Let me tell you something. We just got a letter from a publisher in Yugoslavia, who just bought the rights to print Star Wars in Europe. They’re going to do it in magazine form, with super color. Do you know what that miserable syndicate sent them?
RINGGENBERG: What?
WILLIAMSON: Bad Xeroxes to shoot from. And they’re paying top dollar. |
