	Talking To Arnold Drake
		Arnold Drake is best known to the comic book community as the co-creator of Doom Patrol and Deadman – classics of the ‘60s – as well as his the-year run on Little Lulu.
		Sure, like all science fiction, it may have showed some prescience on Drake’s part in regards to necrotizing fasciitis, but at the time, and even now, it was just good fun, and still holds up as much (even if there aren’t silhouettes of a space janitor and two robots at the bottom of the screen).
		Arnold Drake: I think the movie is still pretty sharp.

		Drake thinks well of Schiff overall, but said that "Even a man like Schiff to some degree used his knowledge of Bill Finger's weakness." Drake said that Finger was "addicted" to advance checks, "three or four ahead," and that the editors "fed" this addiction.
		At the San Diego Con panel Arnold Drake said he was "amazed" that the "high-priced lawyers at DC couldn't find a way" around Bob Kane's contract to find a way to give Finger a share in creator credit and a "piece of the action" without weakening DC's claim to the copyright on Batman.
		Drake recalled how in the past there was a statement on the back of comics company paychecks whereby the company declared itself the legal author of the freelancers' work.

		Drake wrote the 1954 novel "The Steel Noose," and produced, wrote, acted in and composed music for the 1965 sci-fi cult-classic film "The Flesh Eaters."
		Drake always has been one of the comics' most innovative and versatile writers.
		Drake -- who is scheduled to appear at the Big Apple Con in New York this weekend -- introduced "Deadman" at the end of the '60s, and took full advantage of this period of sometimes turbulent change.

	The Hembeck Files!
		Arnold Drake, of course, co-created both Deadman and The Doom Patrol, with Carmine Infantino and Bruno Premiani, respectively in the 1960s.
		Arnold had wanted to play down those elements to focus on more humanistic storytelling possibilities, using Deadman -- the trapeze-artist-turned-ghost who could 'possess' people's bodies -- as a device to link those stories together.
		Arnold finished the series in 1968 on a remarkable dramatic note: the Doom Patrol sacrificed their lives -- deliberately -- in exchange for lives being held hostage by their enemies.

	THE FLESH EATERS - DVD
		As the screenwriter, Drake is responsible for this ridiculous premise as well as the ridiculous dialogue.
		Drake is best known for writing comic books: he was the co-creator of "Doom Patrol" and "Deadman" and contributed to both "X-Men" and "Plastic Man".
		Curtis and Drake chose microscopic flesh eaters out of budgetary concerns, I'm sure, but one can't shake the idea that they hope eschewing a classical rubber-suit monster will lend their film a certain legitimacy as a sci-fi thriller.

	Ervin Drake - BIOGRAPHY
		When Ervin M. Drake announced in 1975 that he was determined to lead the guild, then called AGAC or the American Guild of Authors and Composers, to Washington, DC to spearhead a songwriters' drive for a new Copyright Law, many people thought it impossible.
		Drake fought this new fight side-by-side the publishers and, together, we won the new rate which has risen over the years to 8½ cents.
		The Congressman took it for granted that Ervin Drake was a paid lobbyist for the guild.

		Moreover, Drake tailored the stories to spotlight the unique abilities of his characters, while examining the strengths and weaknesses of their individual personalities.
		Arnold Drake's scripts are hokey by today's standards, with what can be called B-movie dialogue and plots.
		Somehow, though, this is sadly appropriate for Arnold Drake's original vision of the quintessential unhappy super heroes.

		Evanier told us that "Arnold Drake was my favorite writer before I knew it," since DC mostly didn't put credits on its stories in the early 1960s.
		Drake told us that "Bill Finger was probably the most abused creator" in comics, "and that includes Siegel and Shuster." Drake explained that ultimately "Siegel and Shuster got something," though "not nearly what" their creation "was worth." But, he continued, Bill Finger "got zero," leaving his son in poverty when he died.
		Nothing came of Drake's proposal that there be a Bill Finger Award, but a few years later Robinson independently came up with the same idea.

		It was in this period of self-exploration that editor Jack Miller gave writer Arnold Drake the mission of finding an ongoing character to breathe life back into the anthology series Strange Adventures.
		Deadman (Boston Brand) upon his death is endowed with the ability to enter and possess the bodies of the living by the East Indian god Rama Kushna.
		Drake was thrilled with Infantino's interpretation of his concept, and together they produced Strange Adventures #2-5, Deadman's debut issue.

	Opinions 40 - Hitting the Wall VII: Deadman (Sep 2000)
		DC still keeps Deadman among its stable of heroes, but someone who sought a character who outlived his original concept would very likely come across Deadman's name in the top three heroes rendered devoid of purpose.
		Arnold Drake and Carmine Infantino created the first Deadman story back in the sixties, though Neal Adams and Bob Haney would become associated with the character to the point that many would assume they (and not Drake and Infantino) originated him.
		The spirit Rama Kushna took the murdered Boston Brand and gave him a spirit existence with the power to inhabit and control human bodies for the purpose of avenging his death.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Super-Hip
		Tad was a student at Benedict Arnold High School, where faculty members closely resembled the old 1930s monsters popularized by Universal Studios, including Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman.
		His Super-Hip episodes were often triggered by the taunts of his incredibly wealthy classmate, Badger Goldliver, who liked to target Tad for being the biggest dweeb on campus.
		Among the more pronounced divergences DC introduced was to have Bob's hitherto-unseen nephew, Tad, come to live with him in the 95th issue (October, 1965), whereafter Tad's entourage became the comic's main focus.

		It was an interesting discussion, but it became more interesting when this older gentleman with a white beard, glasses, and an African beret entered the room, and Roy Thomas began a conversation with the man from across the room.
		"Arnold would you like to join us?" The man was sort of uncomfortable.
		The Arnold Drake stories are also consistently entertaining, although you have to get used to a style of dialogue and characterization that smacks strongly of 50/60's-era horror and science fiction films.
