This week I present to you the genious of Denis Faye, writer and co-creator of The Monocle and Jimmy Specs. I was at first drawn to The Monocle and Jimmy Specs by the exquisite art of Rikki Niehaus, the other half of the creative team that brings us the beauty to nostalgia together with KAPOW and BAM! of a superhero team: The Monocle, who is a bored aristocrat determined to save the world and amuse himself at the same time, and Jimmy, an all-American creamy, honestly average good guy.
Denis Faye is not only a comic book writing fiend who, amongst other things, is working on getting us the background story of Studio 407’s Helix (one of those self-sacrificing comic book characters we always have a soft-spot for) but he is also currently working on a film, High Midnight.
High Midnight is directed by lovely Mary Lambert, who is better known for her cult horror flicks which include the memorable “Pet Sematary.” The film is supposed to quench the thirst for *more vampires* and *more cowboys*!!! That’s right, it’s time to see what happens when vampires immigrate to North America.
Stan Winston Studios are providing the special effects, which means that this production will be extra delicious. And the cherry on top? Well, let’s just say that the casting includes Thomas Kretschmann, William Baldwin, and…wait for it…Ted Raimi!

Monocle is superb!
Aw! I am so glad you had this comic book on - I just got a copy passed on by a friend on mine, and thought that the artwork and the writing is great! I would have sent you guys an email recommending you to review this - maybe I’ll do that in future. Great show, and you’re right - Ted Raimi is soooo friggin’ delicious!

RE: Monocle
that was an awesome show, and you bring up a great point - what is happening with this whole online barring of content? Since when does Canada follow some dictatorial crapola on content control? What the hell is going on? I would be hoping that since there is a minority government the elected officials would at least TRY to appear they’re kissing our asses.

RE: Monocle
It’s great to see independent comic book artists promoted. It’s important to provide a bit of a window into things that are not mainstream and advertised to death, which is why I have to thank you - not only are you giving hope to independent artists and creators, but you are providing a valuable exposure and education to listeners.
Yours,
