这个产业全是跟我一样的年轻人
the industry was just filled with young kids like me
吉姆·斯大林 灭霸德克斯和科摩罗菈的艺术创作者

我是在1970年代初期加入漫威的

漫威在成长
Marvel was growing.
斯坦·李和阿奇·古德温在研究滑稽场面
Narrator: Stan Lee and Archie Goodwin are working out the schtick.
他们每个月的出版品从六本增加到23本
They were going from like 6 books a month to about 23.
坦白说 他们愿意雇用任何人
So, quite frankly, they were hiring anybody
只要你愿意搬来和会拿铅笔
who could come across the state line and hold a pencil.
那是个既神奇又古怪的地方
Goodwin: It was an amazing, weird place.
迪斯勒
我们当时做的某些事情
There were days we would do things
若换作今日 大概会被逮捕
where we’d probably be arrested if we tried doing them now.
莱恩·韦恩《金钢狼》的作者和共同创作者

我当时在找助理编辑所以我雇用了他
And I was looking for an assistant editor, and I hired him.
我先是开了双倍的薪水
First of all, I raised the rates … doubled them.
我之所以能那么做是因为漫画开始大卖♥♥
And I was able to get away with this ’cause we started selling some books.
那跟漫画销♥售♥的剧变相呼应
That does parallel with the radical shift in distribution for comics that happened
因为漫画开始直接被卖♥♥给漫画书店
when comics started being sold directly to hobby shops.
丹·巴克利 电视出版总裁
我第一次听说动漫展
The first time I heard of a comic-book convention
是很多年前的事了
was years and years ago,
规模不断扩大
and it just grew and it grew and it grew.
你现在有几本漫画书？你要如何处理它们？
Woman: How many comic books do you have now,
好好保存 直到它们变得很值钱
Keep them until they get, like, a lot … worth a lot of money.
漫画店和动漫展代表
Buckley: The stores and the conventions represented something that was,
你在斯坦身上看到的东西的延伸
in some ways, an extension of what you saw come out of Stan.
它们是聊天室
They were the chat rooms.
若从书包里拿出一本漫画开始在餐厅看
You know, it wasn’t cool to pull a comic book out of your bag
那一点也不酷
and read it in the lunch room.
我的小区有一间漫画店
Green: There was a comic-book store in my neighborhood.
那里变成我最爱去的地方和我的社区
That became my favorite place to be. That became my community.
因此那是漫威史上最具创造力的时期
As a result, we got sort of the most creative period out of Marvel
远超出杰克和斯坦刚起步时
short of when Jack and Stan really started the whole thing.
没有漫威不愿意尝试的事
There was nothing that Marvel really wouldn’t do.
砰
好莱坞没有找我们
Shooter: Well, it wasn’t so much that Hollywood came calling
而是我们主动去寻求机会
as that we were knocking on every door in Hollywood.
我们曾数度展开前景看好的企划
We started out, several times, on promising projects,
但却因种种原因而没有成功
and then, for one reason or another, they didn’t work out.
漫威漫画动画呈现
我们制♥作♥过好几部卡♥通♥

the special-effects ability that they have today.
我记得有一部美国队长的电影
Shooter: I remember there was a Captain America movie.
我们都感到很期待
We were pretty excited about it,
他们把录像带寄给我们
and then they sent us a video tape.
结果令人非常失望 烂透了
It was so disappointing. It was so awful.
我觉得拍摄那种电影的人
I don’t think there was anybody who made any of those movies
都不是真的想拍很酷的漫画电影
who wanted to do, like, a really cool comic-book movie.
但最棒的事情是浩克登上了电视
But the best thing that happened was we got the Hulk on TV.
四 五十岁的人看到会觉得莫名其妙
As a 40-, 50-year-old man, you look at some of the stuff and go, “what?!”
当比尔·贝克比比戴上隐形眼镜
When Bill Bixby sort of put those contacts on,
突然间
and all of a sudden,
他化身成长得很像戴着丑假发的法瑞诺
the sort of bad-wigged Ferrigno came on there …

When you are eight years old,
比如当时的我 那简直充满魔力

后来又有新艺术家加入 比如吉姆·李
Then you bring in an artist like Jim Lee,
罗伯·莱菲尔德 托德·麦克法兰

这些创作者彻底颠覆超级英雄
Alonso: These were creators that took the superhero and sort of turned him on his head,
检视他们的缺点 那非常受欢迎
examined their flaws, and it was very popular.
当时像是制裁者和金钢狼的角色
What was happening is that characters like the Punisher and Wolverine
变得超级受欢迎
were just super popular,
不是因为社会风气败坏
not because it was a degradation of society or whatever …
因为我必须承认
because I just think, I got to tell you,
若我是个孩子
that I’m 7, 8, 9, 10 years old,
我看到有人♥大♥开杀戒
and I got a guy that’s gonna go out there and kick some “a.”
我会觉得那个人很酷
That guy’s cool to me.
漫画再次经历变化
Comics, you know, took another shift.
随着时间进入1980年代
As we go into the ’80s,
那是另一种层次的现实主义
it was just another level of realism.
我记得当时有许多人反映
Hama: I remember there was a lot of reaction
题材变得太黑暗
about “it’s getting too dark.”
热烈讨论就是最佳宣传
A lot of that flak was great flak.
一年内就有三本漫画书
