The Rolling Stones guitarist has teamed up his artist daughter Theodora Richards on a picture book, Gus And Me: The Story Of My Granddad And My First Guitar, which is based on his own life.-----
His grandfather Theodore Augustus Dupree, who was known as Gus, was a jazz musician who introduced the young Keith to music.
He said: "I have just become a grandfather for the fifth time, so I know what I'm talking about. The bond, the special bond, between kids and grandparents is unique and should be treasured. This is a story of one of those magical moments. May I be as great a grandfather as Gus was to me."
Here's a look at actor Grant Gust in costume for the upcoming Flash TV pilot, now in production:
"The Real History of Science Fiction," a BBC America four-part documentary, debuts April 19 and features an impressive lineup of talking heads talking about the development of sci-fi fandom, including William Shatner, Nathan Fillion, Steven Moffat, Chris Carter, Karen Gillan, Neil Gaimin, Ursula Le Guin and more. Episodes include: "Robots," "Space," "Invasion" and "Time."
Neal Adams chats about his great covers for the original Batman-Ra's Al Ghul saga and shares this great tidbit:
“You and I are going to play a game,” [Adams] said. “How many pairs of pants does Batman have on this cover?”
“Two,” I answered. “He’s wearing a pair and Ra’s al Ghul is holding a pair. But why is that?”
Adams explained: “It’s because (editor) Julie Schwartz refused to let me have bare legs on Batman. It was OK to do the bare chest, but if he had his pants off that would imply that he had taken his shorts off as well. So you couldn’t do that. So I said ‘But he’s got a costume!’ and Julie says, ‘Nobody will notice.’ And it’s true.”
Here's a logo for and details about "Gotham," the upcoming Batman "prequel" TV series currently in development for Fox.
Although the crime drama will follow James Gordon's turbulent and singular rise through the Gotham City police department, led by Police Captain Sarah Essen (Zabryna Guevara, “Burn Notice”), it also will focus on the unlikely friendship Gordon forms with the young heir to the Wayne fortune, who is being raised by his unflappable butler, Alfred (Sean Pertwee, "Camelot," “Elementary”). It is a friendship that will last them all of their lives, playing a crucial role in helping the young boy eventually become the crusader he's destined to be.
