Tim Sale Tile

My first introduction to comic book artist Tim Sale was through the Pop Candy blog on USA Today. He is best known these days for his work on the TV series “Heroes” and was just on a Comic-Con panel about the show. He has also worked on some of the most iconic comic characters of all time, including Batman, Superman, Spider-Man and the Hulk. His set includes one of the greatest guitarists of all time, his code song for finishing a comic and a heart breaking song by the Boss. Check it out here  

His new comic book series is called Captain America: White. It is the fourth in a series of Marvel retro books that him and partner Jeph Loeb began in 2000, the other three being Daredevil:Yellow, Spider-Man: Blue, and Hulk: Grey.The book debuts in earnest in the late fall/winter with issue one, but there is a zero (preview) edition available right now in comics stores nationwide.

p.s.: Eric J Lawrence is a big comic book fan and brought in a box of them. Tim kindly signed a few and Eric did his best to hide his excitement

DIGG Founder Kevin Rose is kicking off a new phase in the Guest DJ Project as we go weekly! New sets will now be available every Wednesday AND the program will also be offered as a download and a podcast available via iTunes and other formats. You can see the sets HERE and sign up for the podcast HERE.

Past shows, including interviews with “Hancock” Director Peter Berg, Conan O’Brien, Padma Lakshmi, John Cusack and Danny DeVito, are also available as a podcast.

Kevin Rose, a true technology visionary, shared songs that fuel his late night work hours and the track that was passed around the DIGG offices until the whole staff became fans.

Up next, “American Teen” Director Nanette Burstein reflects on being a part of the “John Hughes generation,” Comic book and “Heroes” artist Tim Sale talks about his code song for finishing a comic, and "24" Actress and Comedian Janeane Garafalo shares songs and stories from her past with humor and sincerity.

The Guest DJ Project invites actors, authors, chefs, athletes, directors, tech entrepreneurs and others to share their musical passions with a KCRW DJ. Guests are asked to choose five songs that have inspired them throughout their life – a herculean task for any music lover. However, our gracious guests have explored the soundtrack to their lives and opened their hearts to share confessional tales about their youth, the ups and downs of their careers, and more. All is revealed through their song choices.

If you missed them, check out last month’s guests -- Conan O’Brian, John Cusack,  Garth Jennings, Saffron Burrows, and Jason Reitman.

Coming up: world champion surfer Kelly Slater, comedian Janeane Garafalo, DIGG Founder Kevin Rose,  Director/Skater Stacy Peralta, actor Zach Braff, Comic artist Tim Sale, actress Famke Janssen, architect Thom Mayne, and skate legend Tony Hawk.

We also started a handy little newsletter so you will get a note every time a new set is posted. That way you don’t have to remember to check back because, really, there are way too many things to remember these days!
