The might be the real Mister Miracle.

One of the first things they talk about is how 'Scott Free' is his stage name. I'm uncertain why all of the secrecy, maybe they get in to that - I'm only 25 minutes in.

Best podcast yet!

Felix,

Very interesting podcast! He mentioned getting rid his big pieces, does he still have any OA? Does he still collect OA at all?

I would love to hear Klaus call in for a rebuttal.

Scott doesn't have much original art these days as far as I know, but he does have an assortment of collectibles he sells.  I will ask him if he'd create an account and answer some follow up questions if anyone is interested.

Nice job Felix.

I think Albert was the one that originally bought the Death of Joker page.   Ask him at SDCC.

Cheers!

I bet there's all kinds of feedback on this episode.
Listened to it yesterday afternoon. Fascinating. Not even so much about the art as about the whole nature of the tale.

I can see the Felix Podcast Ad in comics now:

Betrayal...

drugs...

strippers...

comic art!

 

Hoping you'll be sharing some of the feedback you get from the field on this one!

Great listen! Thanks Felix!

I believe Albert sold the attached page. Which is the unpublished all-Janson inked version of the page. A separate Miller-inked page also exists (which was used for publication).

One thing I didn't hear explained in the podcast...

@Nexus - did he tell you why he wanted to remain basically anonymous? Or is he still using his 'stage name' in everyday life? Was there any discussion around that?

There's been a lot of feedback via social media. Mostly from fans who had no idea this situation with duplicate DKR panels/pages existed. I kind of took for granted that people knew. Turns out, this is big news, lol!

I was wondering this as well.

 

Felix?

I didn't ask. My sense was that "Scott Free" was his stage name as a musician and he just used it elsewhere, too. The guy has flair and I think there's a performance aspect to his public persona. In his private life, he uses his real name.

I have to say that this was the one podcast I was most excited to do. Everyone else I've talked to I pretty much know. There wasn't much they'd say that would be a surprise to me. This guy, OTOH, has been a total mystery for years. That he's even still around was cool to find out. So thanks again to Flambit for putting him in touch with me.

Forgot to mention something about these two pics. A listener sent them to me. They're screen caps from a video he shot at SDCC 1987. The art was displayed at Scott Free's table.

What's crazy is that I had just done the podcast with Scott...but this guy had no idea. He simply sent them because he thought I'd like to see them. The timing was pure serendipity.

I get a lot of e-mails about the podcast from newbies to the hobby, and that's cool. But what's also been great is to hear from all the under-the-radar old-timers. I'll share more either via the podcast or in this thread, when I have permission.

Thanks Felix!

Probably the most fun podcast to date. Tons of energy. Scott painted a vivid (colorful?) picture of those days. I felt transported to the 80s.

Hope you can do a 2nd one with him regarding the other creators he mentioned.

Does anyone know what pages McFarlane inked from DKR? Someone has video from that show? I would like to see that!

Thanks again for doing all this work on putting out these podcasts, I find them to be incredibly informative and have learned a lot from them!

[Bird]

"Klaus came over to my friend’s apartment and dropped a bunch of pages off to my friend who was helping out on the backgrounds of that mini-series."

This is a far cry from inking the whole pages. I had a college roommate who did background color separations for a colorist who was nearby so I don't think that this type of thing is that uncommon.

And Steranko is the real life Mr. Miracle!

Fascinating podcast. Scott was laying it all out there IDGAF style.

I'm glad that the "Scott Free Mystery" has been solved; I had been very curious about it since Benno's episode. And I'm so glad Scott explained his pricing on the piece because even I was, like, $1000 for a piece of art in '87 is A LOT of money. I love how it was hard for him to keep his cool as he tallied up a sale that's how serious money it was back then.

Thanks for bringing us the Scott's story, Felix, and so quickly too.
