Episode 209 – Flung Out of Space
Manage episode 417105804 series 2582169
Mild parental advisory warning: The b-word is used once or twice.
On this episode, the recent launch of the series “Ripley” on Netflix gives us a reason to discuss Flung Out of Space: Inspired by the Indecent Adventures of Patricia Highsmith, by Grace Ellis and Hannah Templer, published by Surely/Abrams ComicArts!
When we meet the future author of “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” she’s struggling to overcome her attraction to women and escape her job as a writer of comic-book stories—a job she hates. While freelancing for a pre-Marvel Comics Stan Lee to pay for a psychiatrist to “cure” her, she falls for Virginia, a member of her therapy group who helps inspire her to write “The Price of Salt,” which would become a landmark of queer literature.
Can a deeply conflicted Pat overcome her disdain for comics (spoiler: no) and herself? And will this moving graphic novel earn its way into that exclusive speakeasy known as ... The Comics Canon?
In This Episode:
· What if Patricia Highsmith worked in a comic book store?
· Which previous episode should we “redo” next?
· Ripley on Netflix
· Love Lies Bleeding
· Fallout
· Carol
· Spider-Man and the X-Men
Join us in two weeks as we discuss Uncanny X-Men #162-167, better known as the Brood Saga!
