The first installment of our new feature — DESPOP TUESDAYS, by artist DES TAYLOR… Hey, welcome to the first edition of our latest and greatest weekly feature — DESPOP TUESDAYS — featuring the stellar art of British illustrator Des Taylor! That’s column spokeswoman Alice Gilmore above. She’s a reporter who’s gone undercover at the Cat’s Kitten Club, which happens to be where the fabulous Marvel Age New Year’s Eve party was held. (Shhh. Don’t tell anyone — or better yet, tell EVERYONE — that Alice also is the masked crimefighter the Blue Lotus and she stars in Des’ next book The Blue Lotus Strikes.) More on Alice soon enough, but we want to get right to Des’ premiere DESPOP TUESDAYS feature — Superman’s first interview with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lois Lane, from the prestigious magazine Savoir, the Magazine for Sophisticats. (Alice Gilmore’s assignment is for Savoir, at it happens.) Joe Costello actually wrote the piece and this gives you a fab taste of what you can expect from DESPOP TUESDAYS. In fact, next week, we’ve got a tale to astonish you — a you-are-there newspaper report on a New York throwdown between Iron Man and Namor, the Sub-Mariner. And coming soon, there’s another interview from Savoir, putting Sue Storm in the spotlight; she’ll tell you all about what it’s like inside superherodom’s First Family: — Want more DESPOP TUESDAYS?

Welcome artist Des Taylor to our crew of 13th Dimension regulars! Following in the footsteps of SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN and Bill Morrison’s MORRISON MONDAYS, we now bring you Des Taylor’s DESPOP TUESDAYS! Yep, every Tuesday, Des — who has a wonderfully retro-cum-modern style that looks like the coolest animation on the planet — will be showing off his art, but each week will be a somewhat different format. In the premiere installment — which you can find here — he brings you Superman’s first interview with Lois Lane, for the very hip Savoir magazine. Next week, it will be a rat-a-tat-tat, you-are-there news account of a throwdown between Iron Man and the Sub-Mariner that just might be familiar to folks who’ve read 1966’s Tales to Astonish #82. You never know with Des — and that’s the exciting part. Maybe it’ll be a run of faux Super Soda ads like the ones we published in December. Maybe it’ll be an exclusive peek at last week’s swingin’ Marvel Age New Year’s Eve bash. Plus, you’ll get to know Des’ own characters — like Alice Gilmore, who’s in the banner above. She’s secretly the costumed crimefighter Blue Lotus, star of the upcoming book The Blue Lotus Strikes. (Make sure you check out Des’ DESPOP website.) One thing you can be sure of: DESPOP TUESDAYS will be groovy, the most, and just plain go-go-GO! Make sure you make the scene! — MORE — SUPERMAN LIVES!
