After the stunning success of my posting of an index of films and television based on comics, I thought I'd stick up another one of my long-term projects, which I think is already online at Michigan State but wildly out-of-date.
National Public Radio (NPR) on Comics & Cartoons: A Beginning Bibliography
NPR has done many interviews relating to comics and cartoons in the 1990s and this bibliography begins a listing of them. For a short time, NPR even produced and aired a radio show based on a comic strip - Ben Katchor's "Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer", starring Jerry Stiller as Julius. Radio used to be an ephemeral medium - possibly saved as a recording, but perhaps only in the hands of a private collector. Thanks to the Internet, it has become easy to find a transcript or recording of a show. NPR offers both, sometimes for free. This bibliography was mostly compiled using NPR's website search engine, but not all shows seem to appear on the site and I have been able to list a few from other sources. Many of the programs can be heard on www.npr.org. Tapes and transcripts can be ordered from their toll-free number: 1-877-NPR-TEXT (1-877-677-8398) or for international calls: (+801)374-102. By mail, write to NPR c/o Burrelle's Transcripts, P.O. Box 7, Livingston, New Jersey 07039-0007. Be warned that the cost is not insignificant.
All of these citations will be, and many others from different sources already are, listed in the Comics Research Bibliography by John Bullough & Mike Rhode available on line at: http://www.rpi.edu/~bulloj/comxbib.html. Comics Stuff is an occasional publication showcasing aspects of comics collecting and indexing beyond the comic book and toy price guides. New additions marked with *.
