Georges Laughead: Artist Malcolm McNeill: On Beat Writer William Burroughs, The Unspeakable Mr. Hart Comic Series, Ah Puch Is Here Graphic Novel, and London 1970s Art Scene

In Beats In Kansas: The Beat Generation in the Heartland by Georges Laughead :

The Unspeakable Mr.Hart, Malcolm McNeill © 1970 with William Burroughs 

Interview by George Laughead, August 2007


Emmy award winning artist Malcolm McNeill worked with Beat Generation author William S. Burroughs during the early 1970s in London. Much of that work remains unknown. Malcolm was "born and educated in England. Started working with Bill Burroughs in 1970 on comic series The Unspeakable Mr. Hart while at Hornsey College of Art in London. Moved to the US in 1974 to complete graphic novel Ah Puch is Here (aka, Ah Pook is Here). Lived in New York for twenty plus years. Worked as a live action/effects director for television for fifteen years. Now lives in Los Angeles. Just finished a book about his working relationship and friendship with Burroughs, including artwork from the various collaborations." [Note: Manuscript of Malcolm's book, Observed While Falling: Bill Burroughs and Ah Puch, made me read all day long -- interview was result. GL

FANTAGRAPHICS ACQUIRES LOST ‘GRAPHIC NOVEL' BY WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS & ARTIST MALCOLM McNEILL

SEATTLE, WA, SEPT. 9, 2010 --- Fantagraphics Books is proud to announce the acquisition of the only graphic novel written by — and possibly the last unseen work of his to be published — the innovative Beat writer and Naked Lunch author, William S. Burroughs. This lost masterpiece, Ah Pook Is Here, created in collaboration with artist Malcolm McNeill in the 1970s, will be published in the summer of 2011 as a spectacularly packaged two-volume, hinged set, along with Observed While Falling, McNeill's memoir documenting his collaboration with one of America's most iconic authors.
Ah Pook Is Here first appeared in 1970 under the title The Unspeakable Mr. Hart as a monthly comic strip written by Burroughs and drawn by the British cartoonist and painter Malcolm McNeil in the English magazine Cyclops. When the publication folded, Burroughs and McNeill decided to develop the project into a full-length, Word/Image novel (the term "graphic novel" had not yet been coined). Burroughs was 56 at the time, McNeill 23.

William S. Burroughs' lost graphic novel coming in 2011

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/jacketcopy/2010/09/william-s-burroughs-lost-graphic-novel-coming-in-2011.html
  
The long-lost graphic novel by William S. Burroughs and Malcolm McNeil will be published in 2011, Fantagraphics announced Wednesday. The Seattle-based publisher will release "Ah Pook Is Here" in a package with McNeil's memoir of working with Burroughs, "Observed While Falling."
The project began with a Burroughs-and-McNeil collaboration in the 1970s on the comic strip "The Unspeakable Mister Hart," which appeared in the British magazine "Cyclops." The magazine folded, and the two decided they wanted to turn their work into a full-length project -- at the time, Burroughs was 56 and McNeil was 23. What they conceived was so new that they weren't sure what to call the form, and settled on "a Word/Image novel." They worked for seven years but never found a publisher.
Fantagraphics, which included some spectacular images from the book in its announcement, describes the story of "Ah Pook Is Here":
John Stanley Hart is the "Ugly American" or "Instrument of Control" -- a billionaire newspaper tycoon obsessed with discovering the means for achieving immortality. Based on the formulae contained in rediscovered Mayan books he attempts to create a Media Control Machine using the images of Fear and Death. By increasing Control, however, he devalues time and invokes an implacable enemy: Ah Pook, the Mayan Death God. Young mutant heroes using the same Mayan formulae travel through time bringing biologic plagues from the remote past to destroy Hart and his Judeo/Christian temporal reality.
McNeil's story of working with Burroughs on the project is sure to be interesting. "Fictional events in the text would materialize in real life. Very specific correspondences, not just similarities," he told the website Big Bridge in 2008. "Such events might suggest that things are already in place and that with the right combination of words they can be made to reveal themselves ahead of time. That's what Bill's 'Cut ups' were about: 'Cut the word lines and the future leaks out.'"
Creating a "Word/Image novel" was pretty futuristic too.

Galerie Ecritures : Vernissage

La Galerie ECRITURES présente les planches originales de Braise 1 et Braise 2
du 24 septembre au 24 octobre, nous vous invitons à venir rencontrer les auteurs
le 24 septembre à partir de 18 h
BRAISE


Une nuit, dans un orphelinat comme il en existe tant, Prune réveille son grand-frère Janus, effrayée par une étrange musique. Qui peut bien jouer de l’instrument à une heure aussi tardive ? Comme envoûtés, les enfants se lèvent et suivent cette mélopée qui les conduit vers l’extérieur. Le musicien, élégant chat noir du nom de Braise, aura tôt fait de séduire les bambins en manque d’affection par ses délicieux discours et ses promesses du plus beau des présents : une maman douce et aimante. Mais un avenir bien noir leur est promis, comme le constate la petite Prune, la seule à ne pas s’être laissée embobinée par le matou beau parleur et les bonbons à foison…

Conte noir et cruel, cette histoire concoctée par Bouton et Fortier, nouveaux venus dans le monde merveilleux de la bande dessinée, séduit d’emblée par un style littéraire d’une rare qualité. Par un langage soigné qui ne lasse de surprendre, entre figures de style et néologismes témoignant d’une constante créativité, le personnage de Braise intrigue autant qu’il émerveille. Cultivant le mystère sur ses motivations, il se fait le héraut de cette lointaine marâtre, elle aussi difficile à cerner.

Ne ménageant en rien l’irrépressible envie du lecteur d’en apprendre davantage sur les intérêts de chacun, les auteurs n’éclairent qu’à moitié l’univers fantasmagorique dont ils détiennent les clés.
Le dessin de Cédric Fortier, au bel encrage puissant et expressif, donne à ce premier épisode (sur quatre) un véritable dynamisme, qui rend l’histoire palpitante et attachante. Relevant d’une belle assurance, le dessin aide à se plonger dans une ambiance où des couleurs franches, utilisées à bon escient, n’ôtent pas aux planches un ton résolument obscur et inquiétant.

Braise joue sur ses nombreuses particularités pour se distinguer de la masse, aidé dans cette tâche par une couverture qui ne manque pas d’attirer le regard. Les lecteurs qui oseront franchir le pas en seront récompensés par la découverte d’une histoire au charme plus qu’évident.

Lorraine Chamberlain Looking for original drawings by S. Clay Wilson

I am in a mad search for the owner(s) of three drawings by Wilson for the curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in LA. They would like to include the originals in a big exhibition next year. It's not an Underground Comics show, but a contemporary artists exhibit. I would love for Wilson to be in this impressive show. I have posted the images on http://www.sclaywilsontrust.com/ , and my Facebook page, but am at a loss to find them so far. Who knows where they are by now, as they were from 1979-1981. Wilson can't remember anything and kept no records.
If anyone knows who owns the originals of these three black white drawings, please contact me (including in the subject line "Drawings"), or the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in LA! Thanks!

Farewell to Harvey Pekar and Herman Leonard:
Herman Leonard, icon photographer of Jazz scenes, has died at the age of 87 on August 14th in Los Angeles. He was famous for his "smoky," backlighted B and W photos of Jazz greats like Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and Charlie Parker. Over 60,000 of his negatives are stored at the Ogdon Museun. He returned to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and was featured in the 2005 BBC Sundance Documentary “Saving Jazz," and was featured in the 2006 BBC documetnary "Saving Jazz."

The book "Harv & Bob", scenario by Harvey Pekar, drawings by Robert Crumb, has just been published at the editions Cornelius.
 
Literature
The Time of the Naguals on line:
I have received from the Bibliothèque nationale de France the number of dépôt légal for "Le Temps ds Naguals - Autour de Burroughs et Gysin", so all the formalities of publishing are done for this book. I have put the pdf on line last month at http://www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TNFR.pdf
The tome "Around Burroughs and Gysin" on line at www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TNAroundB&G.pdf has been updated: Paul O'Donovan's illustrations have been added.
The tome of Reseach at www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TN2research.pdf will be updated as well as more on the dreamachine will be added.
For the rest of the anthology, I suggest that we use another technic: rather working on one tome at a time, due to the number of the tomes to end, I suggest that I put them on line as they are at the moment, (they are already in pdf) so people who wrote in them can send the modifications to make, otherwise it will take some decades for the whole anthology to be ready, and we have been at it since 12 or 13 years now.
Any suggestion welcome.
Alain and Jean presented their new book, "Papy Beat Generation" , Editions Hors Sujet, in Rochefort sur Loire.

"The Poetry Bomb is a former U.S. military practice bomb. The artifact will be completely converted into a beautiful object filled with poetry from around the world. When finished, it will have a primo paint job just as if it were a classic car, complete with pin-striping. It will also have a window or portal that will open and close making it possible to not only see inside of the piece, but to take poems out at performances to read out loud, and to add future submissions. Once converted, I will take The Poetry Bomb on tour across the United States, and then, who knows? Plan on beginning the tour in late April of 2010." S.A. Griffin

Benoit Delaune: articles autour de William Burroughs
Benoit Delaune has written a thesis of comparative literatures on Burroughs, particularly down the cut-up and "nova trilogy". In July 2009 he took part in the colloquium in Paris for the 50 yeats of Naked Lunch, as a lecturer as well as a musician, with the group he is a member of, " Nouvelles Impressions d'Afrique".
Some of the articles he wrote around Burroughs are available on line :

The track, favourably reviewed in Art Monthly, had its first outing earlier this year in the London gallery show, Dead Fingers Talk – The Tape Experiments of William S. Burroughs.

Be Glad For The Song Has No End - A Festival of Artists' Music is a day of live musical performances, film screenings and events, set across three uniquely constructed stages in the grounds of Wysing Arts Centre in rural Cambridgeshire, organised and arranged by artist/musician Andy Holden.

Throughout the day artists will perform their music on the two outdoor stages whilst a program of films and performance that explore music from a more documentary or anthropological perspective take place in the cinema stage.

Artists involved in the festival include Archie Bronson Outfit, Luke Fowler, Turner Prize winner Martin Creed, Bob and Roberta Smith, Grubby Mitts, Sam Belinfante, Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), and Jutta Koether. The festival is supported by Resonance 104.4FM, Lost Toys Records and The Wire magazine, and is made possible by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Arts Council England East.

THE NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY 2010
http://www.nationaltabboulehday.com/
Since 2001, a yearly national day, celebrated the first Saturday of the month of July (this year the 3rd of July, 2010), is dedicated to TABBOULEH.
During this day, Lebanese and their friends everywhere in the world meet in private or in public around this king of the mezzé. This artistic, cultural, gastronomic and touristy feast presents them an opportunity to show and to reinforce their attachment to their country. In 2007, the Lebanese Ministry of Tourism granted its approval and its patronage officially for the NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY.
Many events will take place all over the world! wherever there are Lebanese and friends. In downtown Beirut, for example, a big public gathering is organized at Souk el Tayeb in Saifi Village, where savoring and competitions of the best TABBOULEH will take place (www.soukeltayeb.com).
Let's celebrate all together the next NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY that will take place on Saturday July 3, 2010. How? Here are some suggested ways:
In July 3, 2010
- Think about Tabbouleh
- Or do Tabbouleh alone or with friends
- Or do a public Tabbouleh event on your way
While doing so, know that you’re sharing these moments with all the others.
I all cases please take photos and share them on facebook for example. You can also send them to contact@nationaltabboulehday.com so we can publish them on the Website www.nationaltabboulehday.com and/or facebook…
Happy Tabbouleh Day!!!!!
