Gabriel Hardman Archives - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
Enjoying the anthology element of DC Digital First line
In the past, I enjoyed checking out a periodic arc of Adventures of Superman, the DC Digital First series that ended in April 2014. What appealed to me most about the series was the rotating creative teams on these arcs, including writers like Tim Seeley, Christos Gage, Peter Milligan, as well as artists such as Mike Norton, Jock, Gabriel Rodriguez. In other words, the anthology element to the series consistently entertained me.
More recently, the anthology appeal of the the DC Digital First line really amped up in recent weeks for me. To be specific, on Nov. 27 writer Corinna Bechko, writer/artist Gabriel Hardman and colorist Jordan Boyd launched "Dig for Fire"–a three-part story starting in Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #16. Then this past Friday (Dec. 5), I was caught by surprise to learn that writer Ron Marz, artist Cully Hamner and colorist Rico Renzi teamed on a three-part Legends of the Dark Knight #80 story, "Nevermore".
Creative process: Gabriel Hardman's rejected 'Kinski' cover
Fans of Gabriel Hardman's Kinski get a double treat this week, as the original Monkeybrain run of the series wraps up with the digital release of Issue 6, while at the same time Image Comics has collected all six issues in a $14.99 trade paperback.
To mark the occasion, ROBOT 6 reached out to Hardman for any bonus material he was willing to share . He obliged us with a rejected cover. He also offered the following explanation:
Image Comics pushes the needle on gender diversity
After the January Image Expo, Image Comics received some flak because most of the creators on stage were white men. On Wednesday, Publisher Eric Stephenson's keynote address to the Image Expo held in conjunction with Comic-Con International included the following comments: "If we want to build a more diverse industry, though, if we want to develop a more diverse talent pool, then it is of utmost importance that we produce comics that appeal to as wide an audience as possible …"
That was said within the context of the historic gender disparity in comics, especially when looking at mainstream comics and the direct market. There's more evidence than ever that the gender disparity in readership is no longer true; women are just as likely to read comics as men. If that's true, then one would hope that just as many would be likely to attempt to make comics. That doesn't seem to have come to pass in this corner of the industry, but Image announced a trio of upcoming releases that will hopefully start to shift the momentum in the right direction. If nothing else, these are among the most promising books to be announced at Image Expo, and they build on the gratifying surge in creator-owned comics.
HeroesCon '14 | Day 1 photos
On the first day of HeroesCon 2014, the 32nd edition of the Charlotte, North Carolina, comics convention founded and still run by Shelton Drum, I tried to cover a lot of ground in taking photographs. When possible I found out about the current or upcoming projects in the pipeline for the creators photographed.
Talking Comics on Tim | Marc Laming on 'Kings Watch'
As a kid, The Phantom was one of my favorite comic strips. So last year, I was enthused when I learned that writer Jeff Parker was collaborating with artist Marc Laming on a miniseries called Kings Watch, starring Flash Gordon, The Phantom and Mandrake the Magician.
Ahead of the July release of the trade paperback collection, I spoke with Laming about the miniseries, and to briefly discuss how the project has opened the door for future work for him. My thanks to Laming for his time and to series editor Nate Cosby for facilitating the interview.
The 6 best things from Emerald City Comicon
Emerald City Comicon may not come with the metric ton of announcements that Comic-Con International does, but in a way it's all the better for it. Comics still feel as if they're front and center just where I like them, and the announcements have more charm because they aren't screaming to be heard over the din of film and television rollouts.
One year, I'll get up to Seattle to experience the event firsthand, but in the meantime, I get to absorb all the news and photos like everyone else, as they're posted online. ECCC even streamed all of its panels on flipon.tv. Anything that happened in Room 301 is free for anyone to watch. Everything else can be purchased with a full archive pass for $14.95. Or if, you don't want to sit through hours of panel footage, there's CBR's coverage or, heck, try Google or something.
A number of announcements jumped out as particularly noteworthy, so let's run through The 6 Best Things from ECCC. And from my count, Dark Horse won Emerald City. Your miles may vary though, so post your favorites in the comments.
Creators weigh in on 2013 and 2014 (Part 7)
Our annual "Looking Forward, Looking Back" feature continues, as we ask various comics folks what they liked in 2013, what they're looking forward to in 2014 and what projects they have planned for the coming year. In, this final round, we hear from Vito Delsante, Jacq Cohen, Mark Sable, Dean Haspiel, Joshua Williamson, Jordie Bellaire, Paul Allor, Adam P. Knave, Tim Gibson, Bryan Q. Miller, Nathan Edmondson, Ann Nocenti, Jason Latour, Paul Tobin, Ming Doyle, Jeff Parker, Francesco Francavilla and Gabriel Hardman.
And if you missed them, be sure to check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6 where we heard from Jimmy Palmiotti, Tim Seeley, Chris Roberson, Kurt Busiek, Faith Erin Hicks, Tyler Kirkham, G. Willow Wilson and many more.
Talking Comics with Tim | Scott Allie on CBLDF's 'Liberty Annual 2013′
Once in a while, when I go into the comics shop to snag my weekly pile, there will be something on the shelf that catches totally unaware. On Oct. 2, I was delighted to discover the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's Liberty Annual 2013 (published by Image Comics). Given that all the proceeds from the book (previewed here at CBR) benefit the CBLDF, I wanted to interview Dark Horse Editor-in-Chief Scott Allie, who directed the project. While I had his attention, I couldn't pass up the chance to discuss some of the Dark Horse line as well.
Tim O'Shea: While seemingly an obvious question, I still think it worth asking: Why is it so important to you to volunteer your time for a project like the CBLDF Liberty Annual?
Scott Allie: Free speech is a near and dear cause, for me and for Dark Horse, and it's still an uphill battle for comics. There are preconceptions about this art form that invite attacks, and we need to work to defend against that. I want creators and publishers to be free to put out what they want to put out, and for retailers to sell it without fear of prosecution, for readers to travel with their books without fear of incarceration. The CBLDF isn't just about raising money in court cases. They're about educating the population about the art form we love, and I want to be a part of that.
NYCC '13 | BOOM!, kaBOOM! & Archaia reveal con exclusives
BOOM! Studios and its imprints KaBOOM! and Archaia Entertainment have announced their exclusive comics and prints for New York Comic Con, held Oct. 10-13 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City. All of the convention exclusives will be available for sale at the BOOM! booth (#1344), where a number of creators also will be signing.
What should we call 'Infinite Canvas'-style comics?
ROBOT 6's Corey Blake wrote a great piece last month on the evolution of digital comics and the innovations that make them more than just electronic copies of print comics. Without repeating what he said, those innovations raise a couple of questions that are also worth talking about: What are we going to call this new format and does it even need a separate name?
Gabriel Hardman (Star Wars: Legacy, Kinski) recently asked on Twitter, "Is there an accepted name for the Thrillbent/Infinite style of digital comics?" Even filtering out all the joke responses (my favorite is Dennis Culver's "Labor Intensive"), the answer seems to be no.
A couple of folks note that Scott McCloud's Infinite Canvas (or, alternatively, Expanded Canvas) is a common term, but Hardman observes that it could be seen as pretentious, which might keep it from catching on. I like the idea of letting McCloud name it — he more or less came up with the idea — but it does remind me of how it sounded when comics fans all started referring to the medium as "sequential art." It's a great term for talking about comics academically, but not so good for popular use.
Comics reviewers need to talk more about art
Though I can appreciate that a lot of reviewers don't have the artistic vocabulary to really review art, they always have lots to say about the story. An analysis of the storytelling would be interesting.
– Marvel artist Declan Shalvey, on how comics reviewers can better discuss visual art in criticism.
It's a commonly recognized phenomenon that reviewers tend to focus on the writing part of comics, because they are, after all, writers and that's what they have the vocabulary for. Criticism of visual art requires a different set of terms that frankly, not a lot of comics critics know. Shalvey pokes holes in that excuse, however, by offering for critique an aspect of comics art that writers should already be equipped to discuss: the effectiveness of visual storytelling.
From Dick Giordano to 'New Teen Titans': Six questions with Gabriel Hardman
Thirty-six questions. Six answers. One random number generator. Welcome to Robot Roulette, where creators roll the virtual dice and answer our questions about their lives, careers, interests and more.
Joining us today is Gabriel Hardman, who is co-writing and drawing Star Wars: Legacy and co-writing Planet of the Apes: Cataclysm. He's also the creator of Kinski, a new digital miniseries from Monkeybrain available now through Comixology.
Now let's get to it …
Talking Comics with Tim | Gabriel Hardman on 'Kinski'
When artist Gabriel Hardman isn't drawing comics, he's drawing for movies. His affinity for films manifests itself in several ways, including his willingness to share his film knowledge via Twitter. Beginning May 15, that love of movies will be partially reflected in his new Monkeybrain Comics project Kinski (available for preorder).
It's the story of a fellow who finds a dog, and the events that unfold from there. This project is a departure for Hardman, who acknowledges Kinski has "much more of a quirky, indie vibe than any of the other comics I've done prior. Coen Brothers-esque." Hardman with a Coen Brothers bent served as great fuel for my questions (and while he initially referenced the Coen Borthers, in our discussion he's quick to also cite Martin Scorsese's After Hours and the Terrence Malick-written Pocket Money as influencing elements).
Tim O'Shea: In tackling a story that is a quirky departure from your normal fare, how did you settle upon making a dog the main catalyst of your story?
Gabriel Hardman: I like the idea of using a dog to spark the story because animals are chaotic. They don't have the same set of social rules to adhere to as we do. Dogs don't care about our problems! They can send the story off into unexpected directions. But even though Joe, the lead character, finding the dog starts the story, he's using the dog as an excuse to ignore other things in his life he's having problems with. Mainly his unfulfilling job as a bird feed rep. He decides he's going to save this dog, no matter the cost. It's a crusade! But crusades usually don't turn out so well.

Previews: What Looks Good for March
It's time once again for our monthly trip through Previews looking for cool, new comics. We've each picked the five comics we're most anticipating in order to create a list of the best new stuff coming out two months from now.
As usual, please feel free to play along in the comments. Tell us what we missed that you're looking forward to or – if you're a comics creator – mention your own stuff.
Graeme McMillan
Comic Book Creator #1 (TwoMorrows, $8.95): I still fondly remember the now-defunct Comic Book Artist magazine from years ago, and now the creator of that magazine, Jon Cooke returns with a new 80-page offering to take its place. With a first issue filled with Jack Kirby, Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross, this is a must-read for me.
Mark Waid's The Green Hornet #1 (Dynamite, $3.99): Waid has been having a career renaissance, in terms of recognition at least, and that led to getting his name on the title of this new revamp of Dynamite's Green Hornet line (art is by Daniel Indero). I dig the creator, I dig the character, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when the two collide.
The Secret History of Marvel Comics HC (Fantagraphics, $35.00): I've been looking forward to this one since I first heard about it. Blake Bell looks at the non-comics material being published by the company that would one day become Marvel Comics, including pulp and girlie mag work by Jack Kirby, Bill Everett and Dan DeCarlo. It's like the perfect companion for Sean Howe's Marvel Comics: The Untold Story!
Star Wars: Legacy — Prisoner of the Floating World #1 (Dark Horse, $2.99): As if the Brian Wood series wasn't enough to get me back into Star Wars comics, now we get a new series from the Planet of the Apes team of Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman? If these are the final days of Dark Horse's Star Wars license as many are rumoring, then they're definitely going out with a bang.
Wake Up, Percy Gloom HC (Fantagraphics, $24.99): I fell madly in love with Cathy Malkasian's beautiful Percy Gloom graphic novel a few years back, which was as beautiful as it was unexpected, so there is little to no way that I am not eagerly anticipating this follow-up. For those who like gorgeously-illustrated, melancholy and touching books: This is for you.

The world's growing population and economies—and soaring demands for energy—are driving the search for natural resources, mainly oil, gas and minerals to new frontiers, where a country's poorest and most vulnerable people live. For many governments, the development of these natural resources is seen as the most promising path for economic growth. For local communities, expectations of a better life are too often replaced by an overwhelming sense of injustice. They lose their lands and livelihoods, witness pollution affecting their environment and health, see women disproportionately affected, and have little or no say in the processes that determine if and how their rich lands will be exploited. Their compounding frustrations are increasingly expressed through violence, contributing to increased insecurity.
How we work
We leverage our global expertise by partnering with local civil society organizations to strengthen their ability to prevent, monitor and document human rights violations and abuses, and to design and implement engagement and advocacy strategies with governments, companies, regional and international bodies. We also act as a convener across national boundaries, fostering South-South learning and joint advocacy.
Our vision
Our vision is for resource-rich communities:
- To have the ability and means to assert, protect and monitor their rights with knowledge and skills;
- To meaningfully participate in the decision-making processes that determine their future;
- To equitably share in the benefits that natural resource development can bring.
Snapshots of our work so far
In late 2013, Global Rights launched the African Coalition for Corporate Accountability (ACCA), the first coalition of its kind in Africa bringing together civil society organizations from 19 countries on the continent to support each other's work. We are working with ACCA's 49 member organizations to develop a coalition action plan and governance structure. This will enable ACCA to support exchange among members, to enhance national-level advocacy on identified priorities, and to leverage a collective African voice to shape the global agenda to also reflect the region's lived realities.
With funding from the U.S. Department of State, Global Rights is building momentum for the governments of Ghana and Nigeria to implement the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPs) at the national level by equipping civil society with necessary tools, skills and knowledge. Together with the respective national human rights institutions, we convened a series of meetings to build consensus among federal government ministries, police and armed forces, oil and gas companies, civil society groups and affected stakeholders on whether and how the VPs can protect human rights and meet the needs of all stakeholders. Our work led to Ghana becoming the first African country to declare its support for the VPs.
In Nigeria, with funding from the Ford Foundation, we work with communities to get government remediation funds for lead poisoning from unsafe artisanal gold mining that lead to the deaths of 400 children. In response to this disaster in Zamfara State, we worked with local partner organizations to build communities' understanding of their rights and the government's duties, enabling them to successfully lobby government to provide care for infected children, and remove the lead-contaminated soil. We used national media to amplify the community's lobbying efforts and played a critical role as mediator to help competing community factions find common ground. Today, we are expanding this work to other States, and working with stakeholders to improve solid minerals governance in Nigeria.
Global Rights is working with funding from the Ford Foundation in the remote and oil-rich Albertine Graben of Uganda. We developed a training manual on how to monitor human rights violations and engage in dialogue and advocacy, which enables our two community-based partner organizations to implement community awareness and advocacy activities, and to effectively engage their government and extractive companies to bring about greater transparency and accountability in natural resource management. In a second project in Uganda, as a partner on a USAID-funded project to improve land rights administration and enhance peace and reconciliation, we are assessing and implementing activities for locally-led collaborative problem-solving to prevent violent conflict around oil exploration and soon production.
In Afghanistan—where the government hopes that the estimated $1 trillion in untapped mineral wealth will replace the aid running the country—Global Rights trained a network of local partner organizations on the social and human rights impacts of large-scale mining. With support from Afghanistan Watch, we next developed a learning guide on resource extraction for civil society in Afghanistan. This guide will enable the network to better share and leverage this knowledge, and use a range of tools to empower local communities, document and monitor the impacts of large-scale mining, and engage the companies and government.

Toughness at PSU measured with familiar formula
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP)
This would-be tackler tried to sneak in on Bill Belton's blindside to swat away a ball tucked tightly inside the tailback's arms.
No luck getting a fumble in Penn State practice for coach-turned-part time-linebacker Bill O'Brien - and that's a good thing in the mind of the Nittany Lions' new leader.
Toughness on the field won't necessarily be measured by how the Nittany Lions bounce back from a turbulent offseason.
''It will be the ability to stop the run. It will be the ability to run the ball, and it will be our coverage teams, our kickoff cover, our punt cover, our ability to get down there and make the tackle, create turnovers,'' O'Brien said at the team's recent media day.
''So unity will have a lot to do with that. But at the end of the day, we've got to go out and execute and play good football.''
If that sounds familiar, it's because O'Brien's ousted predecessor - Hall of Famer Joe Paterno - often referred to the same three tasks in outlining his recipe for success.
But the child sex abuse scandal involving retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky turned one of the country's most well-known programs upside-down. The NCAA imposed landmark sanctions including a four-year postseason ban, and nine players took advantage of an NCAA waiver to seek immediate transfers to other schools in light of the penalties.
The goal is to still to win every game, even if a trip to a warm locale for a January bowl is no longer an option.
In terms of roster defections, though, the worst appears to be over for now. O'Brien wished those departing players well, but he's more than eager to concentrate on the guys who stayed.
''The next guy steps up, the next guy is ready to go,'' O'Brien said. ''It's your chance to shine.''
Enter Belton, the likely replacement for star tailback Silas Redd, who transferred to Southern California. Redd was a 1,200-yard rusher who figured to be a centerpiece of O'Brien's revamped offense.
Recruited as a receiver, O'Brien converted Belton to running back this spring after being impressed with his balance and muscular, compact 5-foot-10 frame. Belton was also a standout run-pass quarterback threat in high school in New Jersey.
Belton did see time late last season in the backfield in the wildcat, but this would be his first experience as a full-time running back. He's a quick study - an 80-yard touchdown run in practice a couple days ago really impressed O'Brien.
''Other guys will play,'' O'Brien said in a conference call Thursday, ''but Billy will start.''
Any semblance of a productive running game will help veteran quarterback Matt McGloin as he gets the new playbook down pat - the one that O'Brien modeled after the scheme he oversaw as the offensive coordinator for the pass-happy New England Patriots.
But instead of Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez at tight end, McGloin will be throwing to Garry Gilliam, a junior coming back from a left knee injury. Instead of steady receiver Wes Welker roaming across the middle, a group of relatively untested underclassmen will be counted on to catch passes from McGloin. It could even be a different look at tight end - though O'Brien cautions against making direct comparisons to how he used the position in New England.
''We're not asking our tight ends at Penn State to be Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez,'' he said. ''We're just asking them to block well and understand their assignments.''
Junior Shawney Kersey and sophomores Allen Robinson and Alex Kenney could be the new nucleus of a receiving corps that lost Justin Brown (transfer to Oklahoma) and Devon Smith (off-the-field issues) in the offseason.
Center Matt Stankiewitch is the only returning starter on the offensive line. Redshirt freshman Donovan Smith has been sidelined by a hamstring injury in preseason, but O'Brien hoped to get the promising 6-foot-5 left tackle back on the field this week.
''I'm not going to sit here and tell you that we're going to go 12-0,'' McGloin said. ''But I can promise you that we're going to be in each and every game, and have the opportunity to be in each and every game.''
To do that, Penn State will likely need another strong showing from its defense. Linebacker U. has reloaded at its premier position, even with the loss of top backup Khairi Fortt, who transferred to California.
Gerald Hodges could be an athletic force at one of the outside linebacker spots, while Mike Mauti is the hard-nosed team leader on the opposite side. Middle linebacker Glenn Carson is back in the middle for a second straight year, hoping that standout defensive tackle Jordan Hill in front of him can funnel ball-carriers his way for losses.
''You have a lot of guys that we can play, a lot of guys up front,'' O'Brien said. ''So I feel that is really the strength of our football team. With the linebackers, the front seven is the strength of our football team.''
New defensive coordinator Ted Roof wants to tweak Penn State's successful schemes to raise the tempo a notch and offer different looks. More blitzing could mean more pressure on a new-look secondary that's thin in experienced depth after backup cornerbacks Derrick Thomas and Curtis Drake also left for off-field reasons.
Two men will have to replace punter-kicker Anthony Fera after one of the Big Ten's top specialists transferred to Texas. Sophomore Sam Ficken appears to have locked up the kicking job, though Alex Butterworth and Matt Marcincin are competing to take over the punting duties.
One of O'Brien's toughest decisions in the coming weeks may be what to do with his freshmen. First-year players who typically may be candidates to redshirt may be needed this year to help fill depth at certain positions given the transfers.
The NCAA waiver gives players the ability to transfer at any time this year - provided they don't play a game for Penn State. Players that get on the field on game days for O'Brien wouldn't be able to transfer until after the season, when the NCAA transfer allowance would pick up again until the start of the 2013 preseason.
O'Brien on Thursday said whether he plays all his scholarship players would depend on the flow of the game and the season. ''We've got to do what we can to win the game,'' he said.
It won't be until about Week 4 when O'Brien plans to decide on redshirt candidates. In a best case scenario, it appears he'd rather not just have freshmen play bit roles from the bench.
''If you're going to play a freshman,'' he said, ''you really need to play them.''

Chinese web service company Baidu announced the acquisition of video website PPS Tuesday at a price of 370 billion US dollars.
PPS will be run as a sub-brand of Baidu's video service provider iQIYI, which will be the largest video website in China.
Baidu will offer PPS not only traffic support but also funds for purchasing more video copyrights.
"We will lead in market share of personal computer clients, website as well as mobile devices after the merger. We will also have the longest length of visit in Chinese video websites," said Xu Fengwei, president of PPS.
According to reports, PPS has advantages in mobile internet, with the largest downloads by iPhone and the third largest downloads by iPad.
"We have larger market share after the acquisition. Besides, since PPS has different advantages with iQIYI, it will bring us more advertising revenue, more users, and expand the potential of charging fees," said Gong Yu, CEO of iQIYI.
Youku announced the acquisition of Tudoo, becoming a big player of the industry last year.
Many insiders believe the video industry will have another round of mergers and form an oligarchic competitive landscape. Small players will experience hardships.
"There will be many video operators in the industry in the future, but only a handful of players will dominate the market. The small players will not continue unless they have unique advantages. A few large video websites will be co-existent," said Gong.

The iPad air offers all the features you want in a fast, high-performance tablet: a lightweight body, the most efficient processors and wireless technology, and Apple's most intuitive mobile OS.
Slim unibody construction The iPad air sports an all-new unibody construction that's not only slimmer but also feels more solid. Since the iPad air weighs just one pound, it's also easier to carry around than previous-generation iPads.
Two powerful processors The iPad air's fast performance is powered by two processors: the A7 chip and the M7 coprocessor. The A7 chip is Apple's most powerful mobile processor, while the M7 motion coprocessor is designed to offload work from the A7 chip.
Ultra-fast wireless technology The iPad air is designed to enable the fastest wireless connections through dual antennas, MIMO (multiple-in multiple-out) technology, and dual-band WiFi. Through this hardware, the iPad air provides double the data rate of previous-generation iPads.
Retina display and iOS 7 The iPad air features Retina display and iOS 7, two technologies that make the user experience more enjoyable. iOS 7 ensures a smoother performance, as well as access to over 450000 apps from the App Store, while the Retina display provides for sharper details and colors that pop.
From the most efficient mobile processors to the latest display technology from Apple, the iPad mini is equipped with all the makings of a powerful small tablet.
Lightweight and portable The iPad mini is designed to fit in just one hand, so you can easily handle it when you're out and about. At 7 inches and three-quarter pounds, the iPad mini with Retina display has also been redesigned to be smaller and lighter, making it one of the most portable small tablets today.
High-performance processors The iPad mini with Retina display and the older iPad mini are equipped with A7 and A5 processors, respectively. Apple's fastest processor, the A7 chip not only boosts CPU and graphics performance but also enables a longer battery life. On the iPad mini with Retina display, the A7 chip is also backed up by an M7 coprocessor.
Stunning displays The classic iPad mini and the iPad mini with Retina display both sport HD multi-touch screens. The latter has the advantage of Retina display technology, with a 326 pixels-per-inch density that ensures brighter colors and sharper details.
Fast wireless connectivity The iPad mini provides fast wireless connections through the latest WiFi protocols and MIMO technology. The latest iPad mini with Retina display also offers data transfer rates that are twice as fast as those of previous-generation iPad minis.

Breuer brought world attention to himself and Cleveland on Aug. 12, 2005, when his bestseller, "The Great Raid," was made into an epic movie by Miramax Films. He was consultant for the film that was described on its opening day by film critic Roger Ebert as, "Here is a war movie that understands how wars are actually fought. After 'Stealth' and its high-tech look-alikes, which make warfare look like a video game, 'The Great Raid' shows the hard work and courage of troops whose reality is danger and death. The difference between 'Stealth' and 'The Great Raid' is the difference between the fantasies of the Pentagon architects of 'shock and awe' and the reality of the Marines who were killed in Iraq last week."
"The Great Raid" has been shown in 177 countries and reached sales of more than 1.5 million DVDs.
Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland said he and his wife, Sandra, were honored to know Breuer.
"We met him in 2005 as we took part in 'The Great Raid' world premiere movie event with he and Miramax Movies. We were also honored to be in his home when Ollie North and the Fox News crew spent the day interviewing Breuer for the War Stories Series," Rowland said. "Since that time, we have had a great friendship as he shared transcripts to his new books and correspondence with friends from around the world. Recently, he had been sharing with me regular updates on a book he was working on about President Ronald Reagan. He wrote right up until the time of his death."
Breuer was born Sept. 17, 1922, in Rolla, Mo., at what he described "as a very early age" to Louis and Mary Louise (Bentley) Breuer. He was preceded in death by his wife, Vivien Cornelia Breuer, who died Nov. 18, 2001.
Breuer gave a sealed envelope in April to the Rowlands to be opened only in the event of an emergency. Sandra opened the envelope Wednesday afternoon to find one of his last works. It was a four-page autobiography.
In his autobiographical sketch, Breuer said he plunged into a lifetime of mass communications eight years after his birth when he began publishing a mimeographed neighborhood newspaper with a circulation of 29. The inaugural banner headline proclaimed: "Mrs. Kershner's Cat is Sick."
Since that early age, Breuer had a career goal of being his own newspaper publisher. The dream was delayed somewhat by World War II, according to the "Papers of William B. Breuer, 1929-1988" located in the Operational Archives Branch of the Naval Historical Center in Washington, D.C.
"William B. Breuer was a 20 year-old platoon sergeant, who landed with the first assault waves on D-Day in Normandy, and saw action in five campaigns. Later he founded a daily newspaper on a shoestring and for 10 years served as a publisher, at one time the nation's youngest. Among his many awards were 17 from the armed forces for his newspaper's support of a strong national defense," according to the archived papers.
Breuer wrote in his short sketch that when he was 22, the dream came true when a friendly banker loaned him $300 to augment his $100 savings account.
"I was walking in tall clover," Breuer recalled in the autobiography.
With three helpers (including his Vivien) he toiled through 60-hour weeks and the Rolla Herald gradually grew and eventually became a daily newspaper.
The Missouri Press News from June 2003 ran in its nostalgia section the following statement, "The Rolla Herald, oldest newspaper in Phelps County, will become a daily publication on July 6, 1953, according to publisher William B. Breuer."
After 10 years as a small-town publisher, Breuer decided to take on larger challenges. The Herald was sold, so he and Vivien moved to St. Louis where they opened the public relations firm, William B. Breuer and Associates, in a downtown high rise.
Now that he was out of the newspaper business, he had more time on his hands since his work week was reduced to only 50 hours.
"By dint of diligent effort (and 50-hour work-weeks) the new agency grew steadily in the years ahead and gained a nationwide reputation for its zip, contacts, and productivity," Breuer wrote of that period in his life. "Luck also played a major role. A former Hollywood superstar, Ronald Reagan, had recently been elected the Republican governor of California and began a 13-year-long quest and three efforts to reach the White House."
Early on in Reagan's prolonged campaign, his team retained William B. Breuer and Associates to promote an indoor rally in St. Louis.
Breuer said the event was a huge success. Twelve thousand people showed up at the arena and the advertising agency contracted to promote Reagan's Midwestern events on 13 other occasions. The relationship continued until Reagan became president.
While devoting most of his time and talent to the public relations agency, he also began a third career as a nonfiction author.
"This new endeavor proved to be quite successful so he began writing books full time," he wrote. "In the mid-1990s, he and Vivien adopted thriving Cleveland, Tenn., to be their new base of operations to provide a more tranquil locale for creative activity."
Rowland said Breuer and his late wife, Vivian, moved here in the mid-1990s through the invitation of the late Judge Virgil Carmichael.
"Bill often told me that Cleveland was the perfect place for a writer and he loved calling Cleveland home. He was a great cheerleader for Cleveland as he kept in touch with his associates across the country. We were honored to have such a distinguished nonfiction author living in our midst."
Forty-one of his nonfiction books were published in the United States over the next 20 years. His writing focused on tales of secret missions, the moon landing, the Kennedy-Fidel Castro vendetta, women heroics, spies, suspense, sports, the CIA, political conspiracies, hoaxes, the FBI, and the global war on terrorism.
Twenty-six titles were Book Club selections, 12 were produced in audio and 15 were published in paperback. Three books were bestsellers. One of them was a bestseller in Poland. Eighteen Breuer titles have been translated into Japanese, French, German, Arabic, Belgian, Polish, Chinese, Bulgarian, Czech, Serbo-Croatian, Hungarian and Burmese.
Several Breuer books provided a fourth career for the author as a consultant for movies and television documentaries.
The Missouri native was the guest speaker before more than 100 organizations in the United States, including civic clubs, chambers of commerce, corporations, veterans' associations, and university and high school student bodies.
In 2008, Cleveland State Community College launched a unique and complicated project on campus that was completed a year later. The William B. Breuer Archives contains thousands of pieces of Breuer's materials accrued during his years as an author.

The Rural/Metro brand name will likely shrink more than originally expected in its hometown by 2005.
The private emergency services company is considering a plan that would allow its sister company, Southwest Ambulance, to take over ambulance service in Scottsdale.
Rural/Metro executives told the Tribune that Southwest Ambulance could inherit the 911 ambulance contract with the city by June 30, 2005, when Scottsdale makes the transition from Rural/Metro Fire Department to a municipal fire department.
The contract has a provision that would allow Rural/Metro to transfer ambulance services to one of its subsidiaries in the event that the company no longer provides fire protection in Scottsdale.
While the ambulance contract is valid through mid-2007, the transition to Southwest Ambulance would likely occur before then, said Kurt Krumperman, president of Rural/Metro's fire and emergency services group.
"By June 30, 2005, those ambulances will probably be replaced with Southwest ambulances, with Southwest staff on them," Krumperman said. "It's conceivable some transition could happen before that. We've talked about it here as a possibility, and Southwest has certainly talked about it with their group as a possibility."
While the change presents a number of logistical challenges for the company, it wouldn't mean much for residents, he said. The ambulances would simply be owned by a different division of Rural/Metro Corp., and the name on the side of the trucks would be different, Krumperman said.
Rural/Metro Fire Department and Southwest Ambulance are subsidiaries of Scottsdale-based Rural/Metro Corp.
Southwest also provides 911 ambulance service to most East Valley communities, including Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert and Apache Junction.
Rural/Metro announced in November that it is ending its 52-year fire-protection agreement with Scottsdale by July 2005. The announcement came only six months after the company waged a costly election fight to keep the private contract.
Southwest officials said it's too early to discuss specifics about the plan and whether it will go into place.
"There may have been some conversations about it internally, about how that would work," said Josh Weiss, Southwest Ambulance spokesman. "But we really haven't gotten to the point where there is anything concrete."
Since seven Rural/Metro ambulances are staged at Scottsdale-owned fire stations throughout the city, Southwest would need to either negotiate leases with Scottsdale or find new locations.
Southwest typically operates from its own facilities in other cities, Weiss said.
The move might spur Scottsdale to renegotiate its ambulance contract, including charging the company a fee for providing the service in Scottsdale, said City Manager Jan Dolan.
Dolan said the city will have to answer other big questions in the coming months, including whether it would sign leases with Southwest to park ambulances at city fire stations, and whether the city should pursue its own state-issued ambulance license, known as a Certificate of Necessity.
Scottsdale Mayor Mary Manross agreed that the city will be hashing out different ambulance scenarios at the same time it is preparing to form a municipal fire department.
"At least we have time to analyze these things, and frankly we are just beginning that process," she said. "We're going to study it very carefully so that whatever decision we make is going to be in the best interest of the people in this community."

IAAF NEWS - IAAF makes case for independent garages - 27/01/2011
IAAF makes case for independent garages
IAAF makes case for independent garages
In a sharply worded response, IAAF chief executive Brian Spratt, poured scorn on the recent attempt by car companies and dealers to portray themselves as offering superior service for the UK's motorists.
Brian Spratt commented: "In all independent surveys dealers have been seen as no better or worse than the independent sector. This fact, coupled with the greater convenience and better value available from independent garages, means that the car companies claims are nothing more than a faint hope that they can convince motorists that glass palace dealerships materially improve the level of service."
Brian's comments follow news that the Society of Motor Manufacturers (SMMT) and the RMIF's National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) jointly hosted a dinner for motoring journalists at which they pressed the case for franchised dealers offering the best in terms of quality and value, and painting independent garages as second best.
Motor Trader magazine reported that Paul Everitt, SMMT chief executive, argued the case for franchised dealers offering the best in terms of quality and value. He added: "Vehicle manufacturers and franchised dealers are continuously developing their consumer offering to ensure motorists receive the highest level of value and service throughout the life of their car. Investment in the latest technology and the ongoing training of specialist technicians means franchised dealers can also provide the best quality service to the highest standards."
Sue Robinson, director of the RMI's NFDA, was quoted in the magazine as saying that dealers needed to communicate their value and quality propositions to compete more successfully against independents, especially in the wake of what she described as 'misleading' surveys showing independent workshops offered better value.
Brian concluded: "Britain's motoring public get quality, commitment, convenience and cost effective solutions from the independent sector."
Interestingly, the NFDA is the 'sister' association inside the RMIF to the Independent Garage Association (IGA) who have been remarkably silent about the joint event.

... could sip pina coladas on their beach, and lobsters/other-saltwater-delicacies are only available for tourist consumption and export. that being said, there was a whole lot of guilt, and a whole lot of head-banging-against-a-wall. our plan was to get out as much as possible. and so we did. but at least it looked like ...

S: This morning we woke up hoping that the clouds and winds would be gone and we could spend a day at the beach. Well today was not the day. It was very cloudy, very windy and so this made it very cold. We went and had our free breakfast. This consisted of stone cold bacon, scrambled eggs and pork sausage. I knew it wasn't going to sit well in tummy so I had a few mouthfuls of scrambled egg, then ...


text: I am having a really tough time finding a holster to fit my MR9 made by magnum research. I emailed blackhawk to see if it will fit in a Walther P99 holster seeing as they are almost identical pistols, but they said it won't cross fit. I need some help! I know there are some custom holster makers out there but I don't want to spend a ton on just a holster. I only paid 450 for the pistol brand new so whats the point of a 180 dollar holster.

Lena Dunham Directed Her BF's Music Video, He Can't Even
She of the Girls phenom and he of the Rachel Antonoff bloodline, recently joined forces on a music video collab, with Dunham directing the latest video for Antonoff's solo project, Bleachers. Her brazen approach is evident as Dunham tackles her favorite themes: neuroses and relationships.
"I Wanna Get Better" is solid track from fun. guitarist that's ripe with the "can't evens." Dunham can't even lighten the film's exposure, Parks & Rec's Retta can't even with her betrothed, some girl can't even stop touching herself, and Antonoff just can't. His fictional patients cause him to smugly stare off into space while they lip-sync his own song at him. If only his early-to-rise fictional girlfriend had let him make that twee espresso! But, she couldn't even, either.
Let's hear it apathy! Or, you know, let's...not.

Worth Every Dollar
By Stephanie
from Halifax, Nova Scotia
Best cordless Vacuum. It is very efficient in picking up everything including cat hair. It does not blow the dirt around like others. Very light and easy to use. Not top heavy. Best purchase. I hated to vacuum before because of issues with my neck, now it is a pleasure. Easy access at hard to reach areas such as under a bed. Fantastic
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dont buy if you have arthritis or similar problems in your hands as it will cause problems. You must keep pressure on the button or it will not work. I am a senior with various issues and I found this vacuum annoying. The suction is not good. I have several birds to justify this. You can imagine the mess they make. I have read that Dyson is overpriced and overrated. True. Save your money.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
My husband's new toy
By MARION
from Thunder Bay
We wanted a dust buster but this is so much more! Ours is two years old and has had no issues. We use it many times a day. It has surprising suction and the charge always outlasts the cleaning job. We use it on all our floors throughout the house and rarely take our canister vacuum out except when I want to do a thorough job under the furniture. It does a good job on the carpet we have in the sun room, TV room and the entrance. We love that it uses no bag and the filter is easily rinsed, dried, and reused over and over. Dyson has a customer service line where you talk to a real person! This comes with all the attachments you'll ever need. You'll love it too!

Cats bleeding paws
I have a BIG problem. I have a 10 year old male cat, recently his paws started bleeding. We took him to a vet and they asked us if he was an indoor cat, which he is, but sometimes he does sit outside on the porch. We feel he stepped on something, fertilizer perhaps that gave him an infection. He is declawed on the front, and three of his paws are bleeding. It's been almost two weeks now. The vet gave him an antibiotic (shot), and drops for pain. As of right now the biggest problem is one of his back claws is bleeding from the nail bed, the other claws seem to be healing up, slowly but surely. My biggest problem is I feel he may be biting on the nail trying to pull it out. I hate to see him like this, and I really don't know what to do. I think if this doesn't get better soon, I may consider taking him back to the vet and having him stay there so they can keep him off his feet to give this thing a chance to heal, but I would hate to do that. ANY advice for me would be good. Thanks

Hi, I've gotta be honest with ya.....I have had cats my whole life-30+ yrs, and have never seen anything like this before! BUT, I've got an idea, that will hopefully help! How about keeping him in and watching him like a hawk to see if he's chewing his claws! If he is, then you can get an Elizabethan collar that will prevent him from doing this until his claws heal.
If he IS chewing his claws, I'm wondering why in the world he would do this!! I'm thinking that he might be stressing over something! Are there any other cats in your house, could there be any other kitties in the neighborhood? Another kitty in the neighborhood could bring on territorial behavior in him, especially if it's another male kitty. OR, he could be stressed out about another change in the house. Cats don't like any kind of change in their lives at all.
Please, let us know some of these details and we may be able to offer some more ideas.
Best wishes to ya!!
Sep 06, 2009
Thanks so much for responding. My vet is also stumped on this one. Today seems to be a little better, the vet did say to change the litter to paper and two to three times a day to clean the wounds with zetadine which will not sting him and he actually seems to like it (we dip his feet into a tupperware container with the solution and cold water and it is probably soothing). We do have another male cat in the house but they have been together since they were 6 months old, so we do not feel that this is a problem. He does lick the paws which is natural and we are also concerned about him biting the claws, but have not seen him doing this. The collar is a great idea if this thing seems to get worse. A friend suggested that we put baby socks on him with medical tape to keep them on, and we tried this yesterday but he was so pi**ed off we felt it was a bit traumatic. Today he is just laying on the bed and the bleeding seems to have stopped, and on one of the paws I can see a scab forming, I feel the zetadine is working. Through all of this, he has kept up his appetite, and is drinking plenty of water, so I feel MAYBE we have turned a corner with this thing, but I sure would LOVE to know what caused it. The other cat is fine, no problems.
Sep 06, 2009
LMAO.....sorry I had to laugh trying to picture your poor kitty w/ socks on his feet. It must've drove him completely nuts. He probably looked very cute, though!! =) It was a good idea, but no self-respecting kitty would ever keep them on for more than 2 minutes.
I gotta say, I am completely stumped about your kitty's paws. If you find out how in the "H" he managed to mess his paws up, please let me know.
Hopefully, giving him a break from his usual litter will help him a lot!! Please keep me posted!
Sep 07, 2009
Actually, he kept them on for quite awhile, they were put on with tape. I couldn't see putting him through that though, he probably would have bumped into things and made matters worse.
Today we followed more advice from the vet and got a gate and put it in the master bedroom. This will keep him from going up and down the stairs. We also abandoned the shredded paper for litter made from paper shaped in pellets, petsmart sells it and he's already used it. So he's confined to the master bedroom which has a walk in closet and a bathroom, so he still has plenty of room, but we feel the stairs are NOT doing him good right now. The bleeding seems to have stopped in two of the paws and is only on one of the back ones now, but it's a MESS, it's real infected. Wish us luck,
Sep 07, 2009
WOW, you've got one patient kitty-keeping those cute socks on for a while. =)
I'm glad that you found a kitty litter that he likes. I bet that litter will help his paws to heal much quicker. HMMMM, you said newspaper pellets????? Are you talking about that litter called Yesterday's News? I thought about getting that stuff before because it's dust free and great for people with allergies and asthma. Instead of that, I use this corn based cat litter that's dust free and healthier for me and my cat. People don't realize how unhealthy that clay based clumping cat litter is to cats. Cats are naturally very clean animals and lick their fur. They also wind up licking that clay clumping litter that sticks to their fur and this winds up getting clumped up inside their stomachs and intestines. So, you can imagine the health problems that can result. I wish I had found that info when my cats were kittens. I would've switched a long time ago. If you're interested, there's some info on the web about this.
Well, I do wish you and kitty well! I can tell you're a good mom to your kitty and can bet that he will be all healed up in no time.
Take care!
Sep 10, 2009
Well, I didn't think I'd be back so soon, but things are not good. We admitted "Smokey" to a 24 hour emergency facility yesterday, and they felt that he may have a fungus or bacteria that is being spread to all of his paws simply because he gives himself a bath and licks all of his paws. They kept him overnight and he saw a dermatologist and an internal vet, and after an x ray it was determined he had lung cancer and had 3 to 6 months to live. After long and and difficult meeting with them and my wife, we decided to put him down. This was tough because he seemed to be perky still, but they said he would never walk and would go downhill fast. Thanks for all the posts and best of luck to you.
Sep 10, 2009
Oh my God!!! That is horrible! I am so very sorry for your loss. I thought it was a simple infection that would've cleared up with some strong antibiotics. You and your wife must be so very shocked and heart broken right now. With time, the hurt will get better and maybe both of you will find it in your hearts to adopt another kitty again.
Take care!
PS-NO, I am not a tarot reader. By the way, there is a forum on MedHelp that has REAL vets. All ya gotta do is look!
Sep 11, 2009
Oh my, I am saddened to hear about your kitty. I was following your story and, like Zodiacqueen, I also thought it may be an infection that would clear up. I am so sorry for your loss.
Sep 19, 2009
Well, life without Smokey is tough, but it's getting better, time heals. We miss him, but more importantly Rusty misses him. Rusty is our other cat, and he's 10, just as Smokey was, (two males) they've been together since they were 6 months old. We're considering another cat to keep him company and to fill the void. I'm a bit worried though how Rusty is going to react to another cat probably less than a year old. I was told they would probably walk around and hiss at each other for a couple days but then would get used to each other. I dunno, any advice?
p.s. Rusty has no front claws and a kitten probably will, a bit worried about that too.
Sep 19, 2009
Hi, I was wondering how you and your family have been holding up! Glad ya came back! It's gonna take a while to heal, our pets wind up being another family member. There are lots of people that don't understand this and make rude remarks! GRRRRR
I think it's a great idea to get another kitty!! Have you thought about rescuing a kitty at the animal shelter? That's something you can feel good about! =)
I've got some ideas for you to think about when you get your new kitty. I know how much fun kittens are, but a kitten might be a little too wild for your older kitty. A kitten will want to play all the time! This would depend on your other cat's personality, whether you decide on getting a kitten or a cat that's a year old. Here's one other thing to think about-whether you want a male or female. Rusty is a male, right? If he is, and you get another male there could be territorial fights later. This might also cause some spraying problems in the house (this doesn't matter if they're fixed or not). I have seen this!! My mom's got 7 cats-6 males and one female. The older male spray( he is fixed). I think he feels threatened by the younger ones. They all get along great, but the spraying still goes on. The older cat is letting the younger ones know who the boss is. That's my opinion, anyway. Others might see it differently.
This is your call. I think it's great that you're feeling better now and thinking about another kitty.
I hope that this has helped! Maybe some of the other forum members will come up with some more ideas.
Take care....and post some pics when you get your new kitty!!

I'm so sorry for your loss, too. I remember what it was like when I lost my previous cat to cancer. I swore I wasn't going to get another cat. But, my friend, who is not a pet person, could see that I really needed to have a cat in my life to fill the void. So, she suggested that I consider getting another cat. Then, my friend who used to own my kitty I have now, asked me to cat sit for her while she was away for a few months. The cat and I bonded while in the friend's apartment. When she came home, the cat missed me. My friend asked me if something happened to her if I would take care of the cat. Between my one friend prompting me to get another cat and the fact that I had fallen in love with this cat, I couldn't say "no". My friend knew how much I loved and cared for this cat already for six solid months. It's too bad that it was only six months later that my friend died from complications of Lupus. None of her most recent friends knew she had Lupus, including me. So, now I have this wonderful chocolate tortoise shell. I'm really glad I have her. My friend who isn't a pet person was right about my needing a cat. She knows me that well. She knew I needed to fill that void. I knew this was the right cat for me before I even got her. I was shocked that I got her as soon as I did, though. I'm really glad I have this cat, too. I love her dearly and she knows it.
Sep 20, 2009
I read your whole thread and did Not see this coming. I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Oct 13, 2009
Thanks for all your warm thoughts everyone.
Well, we got a kitten. She is 6 months old, her name is Sorsha, and she is Himalayan Mainecoon. She's adorable.
We got her for our 10 year old male cat because he seemed like he missed Smokey so much, but he doesn't really seem to like her. We knew this would happen.
Rusty is an orange tabby, and he's kind of a girly boy, lol. He cries all the time, he's not a big people cat, he's skittish, and the only time he's really happy is when someone is petting him, which is difficult because he just won't lay down. He's still active, likes to play and all.
Sorsha is a lap cat, she loves to play, and is all over the place. She hasn't been fixed yet or (gasp) declawed. She seems to know Rusty is the boss but when we introduced them there was a lot of hissing from both sides. Things seem to be getting better, he's gone up to her and sniffed her a couple times, and the hissing seems to have stopped, but we are hoping that this doesn't take like a month for him to get used to her, we are going on 4 days.
Any advice would help.
Oct 13, 2009
Hi Rick, It sounds like your family is holding up well. And, it's great to hear that you've got a new kitten! Sorsha, is such an exotic name. It sounds sort-of Russian and what a very cool mix-Maine Coon and Himalayan. You've got to post a pic of her so all of us can check her out! I can't even picture what that mix looks like. LOL
As for Rusty and the new kitten, there will be lots of hissing, growling, etc. But, you knew that! It might take longer than a month for them to get along/tolerate each other. They will establish who's the king (or queen) of the throne in your house. You should let them settle it between them, unless it gets really out of hand-like them hurting each other. There's a possibility that things could get a little ugly. I hope not, but there's still that possibility there. While you and your wife are not home, I would keep them in separate rooms for a while...just in case.
I hope that both kitties will eventually become buddies and bring you and your wife much joy to your lives.
Please keep us posted and if you've got any more questions.....bring it on! =)
