Will you step in line or release the glitch?

As a reminder to myself of the value of random film trivia, I seem to have convinced a kid to seek out Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941) after he complimented me on my name and deprecated his own which I told him was a lovely name, the name of a river, the name of a psychopomp, and he perked up and asked if the movie was available in this region and I could tell him there was even a Criterion disc, since off the top of my head I had no idea where it was streaming, although the answer turns out to be all over the place. I hope he enjoys it. Comes with a free Edward Everett Horton. I have spent way too much of the day on the phone.

It's how I discovered the artist, several of whose comics with Ed Brubaker I read at the comics store I used to be able to walk to! [edit] The store is still there and I could still theoretically walk to it, I just moved several neighborhoods away.

What an excellent discovery! I really like this art style, and I can imagine that the movie looks great as a graphic novel.

The opening sequence is excellent and it definitely looks amazing in graphic novel form, thank you for digging this up for me! (By the way, if you've ever written anything about this movie, or happen to do so in the future,I'd love to read it!)
