COMIX: Beyond the Comic Book Pages is an exciting new feature film documentary about the world of comic books told through the thoughts and images of the creators, artists, writers, collectors, store owners, independent publishers, and especially the passionate fans who have made it the phenomenon that it is today.

 

COMIX includes exclusive one-on-one interviews with icons from the comic book industry, likeStan Lee (Spiderman, X-Men, Fantastic Four), Frank Miller (Sin City, 300), Neal Adams(Batman, X-Men, Green Lantern/Green Arrow), Mark Waid (Kingdom Come, Superman, Justice League of America), Mike Richardson of Dark Horse Productions (Hellboy, Sin City, Goon, and Concrete), Marc Silvestri of Image Comics and Top Cow Productions (Tomb Raider, Hunter Killer, Witchblade), and Todd McFarlane (Spawn).  COMIX also includes interviews with fans, many dressed in full costume, as they talk about their love for the characters and cosplay, at conventions like Comic-Con, Wizard World, and more. 

 

This film delves into the attraction to comic books, the collaboration process, the history of American Comics, comic books into movies, independent publishing, and how some of our favorite superheroes were created. COMIX asks Stan Lee, creator of the Marvel universe...“What makes a good superhero?” A self-proclaimed “superhero specialist,” Stan explains the genesis of his legendary comic book character Spiderman who has weaved an iconic imprint on popular culture. Sin City creator Frank Miller shares his insights on the challenges of bringing a film noir-style comic to the silver screen. COMIX also gets up close and personal with fans like Chris Gutierrez, a school teacher by day and a member of the Star Wars 501st Legion by night, and what drives his passion for comics into crafting the costumes and assuming the roles of his favorite characters.

I’ve always loved comic books!  As a child, all I ever wanted to do was draw Spiderman andBatman. I stared for hours at Batman comics, captivated by every detail.

 

When I began this filmmaking journey, I wanted to capture the process of making a comic book from idea to finished book in a fun, informative, and inspirational way that, as a fan, a film I always wanted to see.

 

Ten years later, COMIX has blossomed into a full-length feature documentary, and we are almost at the finish line. I am so proud of the film and the caliber of people who agreed to be a part of it.  I am also so thankful for everyone who worked behind the scenes and put so much passion into every frame.
