Book Description
Tales to Astonish relates the spectacular life and times of Jack Kirby, the legendary forefather of American comic books. In the 1960's, Kirby joined with Stan Lee to develop many of our best-known and most beloved superheroes, including the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, the X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, the Avengers, and the Silver Surfer. Ronin Ro chronicles Kirby's poverty-stricken origins in New York's Lower East Side, his early commercial triumphs and failures, his renowned partnership with Lee, and his revolutionary artistic innovations, tracing the comic book industry from its inauspicious beginnings to its sensational successes.

Very Readable History of Jack Kirby and the Comics.......2006-04-14
With some hesitation, I ordered a copy of the book "Tales to Astonish" because of both praise and concern in the comic fan world. I found it to be a very readable entertaining book that relates the highs and low points of the modern comic book, from its inception in the late 1930s through Jack Kirby's career.
Criticism of this book are quite correct. There is no artwork, except for a Jack Kirby figure on the front and back. It is all text with no index. However, it is very readable, alternating between explanation, history and dialog between the major figures. This helps to make the story human, and show why and how things went wrong, how people felt, and what was done on both sides.
There were many "a ha" moments for me in this book. The explanation of WHY there were only 8 Marvel comics initially distributed by National and WHY Marvel may not have made their initial superheros LOOK like tradition superheroes is very interesting.
Also, the author has fleshed out some of the critical decisions to form partnerships and break-ups to explain more about the personalities involved. Example: Jim Steranko is a well known figure, but WHERE he came from, and WHY he fought with Stan Lee at the height of his success was very helpful. Jack Kirby's role in supporting this young master develop his form and then resentment at low pay for doing the majority of the layout work makes sense now.
I spotted at least two simple factual errors: DC's Challengers of the Unknown is said to have debuted in Showcase # 7, 11, 12.... but wasn't it 6, 7, 11, 12? Similarly, the author describes the development of "Him" the last Kirby developed character for Marvel in Fantastic Four # 76, but I KNOW it was 66-67 because I bought them as they came out. These small errors make me wonder if the editing was done by a non-comic fan, or someone intentionally fed mis-information to the author.
There is also a complaint that the same point or scene is repeated within a few pages of the book, over and over, being distracting cause you've just read that. I feel this is a linking technique when some additional information from research or interview has been inserted to flesh out a point, or illuminate another aspect of comics, and it derails the central discussion of Jack Kirby. Yes, annoying, but worked for me as it signals a return to the main theme.
All in all, I must agree this is not the definitive work on Jack Kirby, but it is a very good overview of the development of the comic book industry and hits interviews or quotes from interviews from all the major players, from Stan Lee, to Mark Evanier, Gene Colan to Gil Kane, Carmine Infantao to Julie Schwartz, Gary Groth to Greg Theakston. In short, alot of ground has been covered.... and reasonably well.
For a cheap price, this is a very quick, very readable over-view of Kirby's work, accomplishments, heartbreaks and legacy.
I'd recommend it.
It's Yammerin' Time!.......2006-02-02
If one follows Ronin Ro (yeesh! what a pen name!)'s line of reasoning, on the seventh day Jack Kirby would have rested. The hero worship is sophomoric, as is the writing. A more critical enquiry would have saved this book, because despite the teenage adoration of the abysmal and often redundant narrative, it is a fun read and captures a lot of the zeal behind the "glory days" of Mighty Marvel. The critical eye that would have been helpful has been cited by another reviewer, who suggests the need for more balance. This account is as heavy handed as Kirby's figures. Stan Lee is depicted as a weaseley charlatan who appeared to shmooze his way to the top. Could it be that Kirby needed to be reigned in, as seen by his lack of success in solo ventures and frankly incomprehensible storylines (albeit beautiful futuristic panoramas). Kirby's writing does suck, as it lacks imagination. He was always more of an embellisher, but what an embellisher. Not to say that Kirby didn't get screwed as a comic book artist (they all were, except maybe Bob Kane who had moxie and foresight, not to mention marketing mindedness), but to be fair to Stan, I've seen many issues of Iron Man, Daredevil and other titles that share the storyline credit and even use the word "collaboration". Bottom line: a fun read for the die-hard fan, but you have to look the other way more than once to get through this 300 page fan letter.
Most readers will know more than the author........2006-01-06
And if you're not into comics, you won't care. What was Ronin Ro on?
Aside from glaring proofreading mistakes (on the same page, we are told that Kirby was stationed at an army base in 1945 and honorably discharged in 1943), this writer decides to take one of the most interesting and argued-about subjects in popular culture and present it as one continuous, here's-what-happened narrative, without ever citing his sources. No pictures, no index, nothing's ever sourced, corroborated or contested. Not only are conflicting versions of events never explored, but neither are the various other books and magazines Ro cribbed from ever cited. Hack-work, through and through.
If I sound angry, it's because this should have been great, at least as absorbing as Gerard Jones's excellent book, Men of Tomorrow. A good version of this book can be done, and I'd gladly shell out hardcover money for it. Instead, it's like standing in a comics store, listening to some fool blather on, thinking to yourself, "you don't know that. How can anybody know that? Who told you that? You made that up," and finally, "just ring me up and let me out of here."
Great Book.......2005-11-03
I've been looking for a compelling bio / non-fiction book about the comic trade for a long time, and one on the enigmatic Jack Kirby. I hadn't found one yet, until this.
This book principally addresses the myth of Stan Lee - ie. that Stan did everything in Marvel, but focuses at the other lynchpin that really helped define the Silver Age of comic books: Jack Kirby. Often ignored and little understood because of the hype surrounding Stan Lee and Marvel, Ro tries to set the record straight about Kirby and I'm glad he did.
Ro does a great job in illustrating a picture of the industry and trends through Kirby and cohorts. The book gives as balanced a view as possible by including comments from many other people.
This is a highly readable book - and it doesn't try to address everything but still gives readers a snapshot of how the industry worked and how artists labored to create their heroes. Jack deserved a book like this to tell his tale. Stan Lee's autobiography was too glib for me and disappointing (ie. all PR and little depth) but books like this unearth the real dramas behind the creative process.
I'm still reading it as I speak - any fan of marvel comics especially in the 60s thru 70s should get into this - but for true appreciation, you will need to know enough about marvel comics for the added kick. Those who do don't really need illustrations (the book has none). Those who do, will need to search out the comics!
Comic book collectors should add this to their library. It's a poignant tale of the American dream - and more accurately, of Kirby's dream.
Really an astonishment!.......2005-10-27
Ronin, you coulndn't have done a much better job on this book! The way you put it all together, you really have creativity in this area. I'm really proud to say that you're my uncle, and I wish you nothing but better days ahead man...all love, later

Customer Reviews:
What a read!.......2006-01-20
Is it to my shame or a true blessing that I have never heard of Mr. Irresponsible or his advice before being graced with this read? I am sure Mr. Irresponsible would have a few choice words for me, don't you think? In this work we have a man who apparently has been giving advice for a long time although I am sure most would not follow what he gives, at least I hope they won't.They may have thought about it or liked to do it, but never did....thank God!
In this work, Mr. Irresponsible gives advice on how to handle children with bad manners, love, friendship and even some morels of his wisdom to be used during the gathering after a funeral. Of course you would probably have another death if you follow it. Perhaps for some that would be a good thing. Scary thought isn't it?
As I read this work I was trying to figure out if it was a spoof or if Mr. Irresponsible feels he is speaking out what so many would like to do but thank God have the decency not to. I have to admit that the scenarios that he portrayed are certainly those that most of us have or will go through, however since most of us are humans, we would never consider following his advice. Would we? Of course that is why his name is, "Mr. Irresponsible," as that fits his advice to a tee. I will coin a phrase that my father use to tell us when we were bad, "Shame on your face! Shame.!"
And with that I will end my review.

I HATE EVERYTHING..........2006-01-04
...but this book actually had me laughing out loud. But you don't have to be a misanthrope to love this book. It's cleverly written in a breezy off-the-cuff style that reads as though Mr. Irresponsible was right there giving you his advice. But this is better because I wouldn't actually want to talk to Mr. Irresponsible, but he wouldn't want to talk to me either. It's smart, witty and best of all rude.
An Irresponsible Review.......2006-01-03
Mr. Irresponsible, along with someone named Bill Barol, has put together a guidebook of irresonsible suggestions for getting through life. I was particularly taken with his suggestion that when in doubt, go with the Eddie Haskell approach. Kiss up, and dumb down. I was also impressed by his never worrying that others might catch on when one acts the way Mr.I suggests. They will catch on, but the effect will still overwhelm them. This is a must book for anyone who has been held back by good manners and common sense.
I laughed, I cried, I spewed Diet Coke out my nose.......2006-01-02
From page one I was laughing out loud. The people at the hair salon where I first started reading Mr. Irresponsible sent me looks usually reserved for drunken idiots on the city bus. Once I realized the safest place to read such material was in the privacy of my abode, I did nothing for hours but read and choke from my own laughter. Could someone PLEASE give Mr. Irresponsible his own talk show?
Appallingly funny..........2005-12-30
Really, this some of the worst advice ever inflicted upon a society -- and that's what makes it so hilarious. From how to deal with noisy moviegoers (warning: involves collapsible police batons) to ideas on childrearing that could conceivably lead to a lengthy stint in San Quentin, Mr. Irresponsible has an answer for any question of etiquette you can dream up. Great stuff.
Book Description
The name is French and it has connections to German expressionist cinema, but film noir was inspired by the American Raymond Chandler, whose prose was marked by the gripping realism of seedy hotels, dimly lit bars, main streets, country clubs, mansions, cul-de-sac apartments, corporate boardrooms, and flop houses of America.
Chandler and the other writers and directors, including James M. Cain, Dashiell Hammett, Jane Greer, Ken Annakin, Rouben Mamoulian and Mike Mazurki, who were primarily responsible for the creation of the film noir genre and its common plots and themes, are the main focus of this work. It correlates the rise of film noir with the new appetites of the American public after World War II and explains how it was developed by smaller studios and filmmakers as a result of the emphasis on quality within a deliberately restricted element of cities at night. The author also discusses how RKO capitalized on films such as Murder, My Sweet and Out of the Past—two of film noir's most famous titles—and film noir's connection to British noir and the great international triumph of Sir Carol Reed in The Third Man.

"The aimless confronting the ruthless.".......2004-08-15
"Early Film Noir" by William Hare is a pure delight for fans of the genre. Too many books on the subject churn out the same old abridged history with an emphasis on plot synopsis. That's alright, I suppose, if you only want a brief overview of this fascinating subject, but if you've read a few books on film noir, and you now want to delve deeper into the genre, then I recommend "Early Film Noir" as the book for you. This intelligent, well-researched book traces the beginnings of film noir, and delves into the talents of the triptych of film noir novelists Hammett, Cain and Chandler. Author, Hare explores each novelist's essential literary characteristics, and their contributions to the genre, and even the authors' reactions to each others' work. It was Chandler's job to write the screenplay for "Double Indemnity" from Cain's novel, and amongst other things, Chandler called Cain "Proust in dirty overalls."
The book also includes an in-depth analysis of several important films--including--"Double Indemnity", "The Postman Always Rings Twice", and "Murder, My Sweet." "Early Film Noir" is a wealth of information--for example, the author even includes data regarding the comparative sales of Hammett's books in America versus France, and this surprising information is a lead-in into the origins of term 'film noir' and the first time this term emerged into popular film culture.
Hare includes an amazing amount of detail thus creating a fuller picture of the times. Film noir can be seen as a very natural result of certain sociological conditions. Hare's New Historicism approach places events in their appropriate context, and this grants the reader a greater understanding of the genre. Hare, for example, analyzes the film industry at the time, and it does not escape his attention that "Going My Way" received an Oscar for Best Picture over "Double Indemnity" as critics labeled the latter film as a "blueprint for murder." When one considers "Going My Way"--(it's an almost impossibly sunny film with Bing Crosby as the singing priest), it's difficult to align the film with the dark depths of "Double Indemnity." These two films represent two very different worlds. Hare's New Historicism analysis explores the world of film noir, and why audiences in the 40s and 50s were so receptive to its dark mysterious allure.
The author also includes details regarding the making of the films--for example, the role of the lead male role in the classic film, "Maltese Falcon" was first offered to Paul Muni, Edward G Robinson, John Garfield and George Raft. No one wanted the role. Huston had never directed before, and the 'big names' didn't want to risk it. Humphrey Bogart eagerly accepted (good thing, too). "Early Film Noir" even quotes Bogart's acceptance of the role to a delighted Huston. Similarly, Bette Davis and Barbara Stanwyck both turned down the title role of"Mildred Pierce." But a desperate Joan Crawford fought for the role. Then there's the alternate ending to "Double Indemnity" and George Raft's conditions for accepting the role of Walter Neff. The book also touches on the American government's hunt for Communists in Hollywood through the House Un-American Activities Committee, and how this impacted film noir through the careers of directors and stars.
One whole section is devoted to British Noir, and there's in-depth analysis of several films and details of the careers of Sir Carol Reed, director of "The Third Man" and Ken Annakin, director of "Across the Bridge." An index and a bibliography are included. While reading the book, I felt as though I needed to take notes. What a gold mine of information! The author clearly knows his subject and is obviously a dedicated aficionado of the genre. "Early Film Noir" is worth the price tag, and I've gained new respect for the careers of Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer--displacedhuman
For Anyone Who Loves Movies.......2004-03-28
Choosing a book to read is often like delving into Forrest Gump's box of chocolates: You never know what you're going to get. You sample all the nuts, chews and creams and finally you come across that one that is so good, so special, that you just can't get enough of it, you want more. That's the way I felt after reading "Early Film Noir," by William Hare, a book that takes you into the realm of cinematic shadows and perpetual night, where the landscape is shrouded in fog through which neon lights glow and the sound of footsteps in the dark takes on a whole new meaning. Welcome to the world of shady characters, tough stand-up guys and the fast, calculating women who take them all for that long ride on a short pier; welcome to the world of "Film Noir."
Beginning with "The Maltese Falcon," the nine films discussed here in depth by film historian and writer Hare are ones that have given us some of the most magical and memorable moments on the silver screen, movies that veritably define the genre. These are the classic films, favorites of die hard film buffs and casual movie fans alike, all given a fresh perspective and new appreciation under the incisive examination and studied eye of the author.
Taking you behind the scenes for a captivating look at these films from inception to completion to "classic" status, Bill Hare makes you privy to the professional and private lives of those who brought these magnificent movies to life, the collective creative genius behind and in front of the camera and the power struggles, politics and off-screen drama that often equaled or surpassed that which played out on the screen. He introduces you to the leading men, like Humphrey Bogart, who brought Sam Spade so vividly to life in "Falcon;" Dick Powell as Philip Marlowe in "Murder My Sweet;" Fred MacMurray, the doomed Walter Neff in "Double Indemnity;" and the definitive interpreter of "noir," Robert Mitchum, who turned in one of his most memorable performances as the pragmatic Jeff Markham in "Out of the Past." Then there's the leading ladies, the "Femme Fatales," like Claire Trevor, the calculating Ann Grayle of "Murder My Sweet;" Barbara Stanwyck, irresistible as Phyllis Dietrichson in "Double Indemnity;" and the lovely, unforgettable Jane Greer as Kathie Moffett in "Out of the Past." Last, but not least, you meet the array of character actors, all too often overlooked, but without whom these films just wouldn't be the same. Who can forget Mike Mazurki as Moose "Find my Velma!" Malloy in "Murder My Sweet?" or the likes of Greenstreet, Lorre and Elisha Cook, Jr., all of whom are at last given their due here.
Acknowledging the collaborative nature of the medium, Mr. Hare, as well as to the actors, gives special consideration to the directors, such as John Huston, Carol Reed and Ken Annakin (who contributed the forward to this book), and the methods through which they managed to bring their personal visions to fruition. He takes a succinct look as well at the writers in whose fertile imaginations these stories were born, novelists and screenwriters including Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain and Dashiell Hammett (among others). Through his careful and comprehensive exploration of the intricacies and complexities of this multi-faceted business, Mr. Hare offers the kind of insight that engenders a deeper understanding and appreciation of a truly unique art form which, beginning in the early forties, evolved from within the broader spectrum of the field most commonly referred to as that of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
From the first page to the last, the author's passion for and knowledge of his subject is clearly evident, and he treats it accordingly. Eloquent and accessible, "Early Film Noir" is without question the most intelligent and informative-- not to mention entertaining-- book of it's kind I have ever read. In a word, it is transporting. For students of film and filmmaking, the information Mr. Hare provides here will be invaluable; fans of "noir" will find it riveting; and for anyone who has ever had a favorite film, or those who just enjoy a good movie purely for the sake of entertainment, this book will be a rewarding experience. In that big box of chocolates we call The Humanities, this is that one special piece we're all hoping to find. The best way to sum it all up, I think, is to say that I was sorry it had to end; it's one of those rare books you just wish would keep on going forever. This is one for the home library, one you're going to savor and to which you'll find yourself returning again and again. And hopefully, one day Mr. Hare will favor us with yet another volume, an "EFN2." I'll put in my order right now.
Great Introduction to Early Film Noir!.......2004-01-09
Do you like your movies filled with suspense and evil? Did you enjoy any of the following movies: The Maltese Falcon; Double Indemnity; Murder, My Sweet; Crossfire; Out of the Past; Laura; The Postman Always Rings Twice; The Third Man; or Across the Bridge? If you answered "yes" to either question, I highly recommend Early Film Noir to you.
Mr. Hare has written a fine exposition of how the film noir style evolved, the development of the key films in this genre and brief biographies of the important actors, directors, cameramen and producers who influenced the key films. If you are unfamiliar with any of the films, Mr. Hare does an excellent job of summarizing the story lines so that you can understand the subject without having seen the films. I have seen all of these films many times, and encourage you to use the book to decide which ones you would enjoy.
If you already have a great knowledge in this area, you may find the book to be mostly redundant to what you know already. As someone who had seen the films but not studied their backgrounds, this book added greatly to my understanding of the films and my appreciation of them. I especially enjoyed learning about how the scripts were developed. Some books translate easily onto the big screen, while others require substantial story and dialogue development. The Third Man is especially interesting from this perspective.
Each chapter includes one or more great stills from the films. Those add just the right touch of adding noir color.
Many books about film focus on the most famous people involved. Mr. Hare has made a great decision to focus instead on those who are most intriguing. I had always found Jane Greer to be fascinating on screen and was pleased to find a while chapter about her.
Before reading this book, I did not fully realize the connection between the detective novels of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler and the later developments of film noir and Albert Camus's writing. Making that link was a very helpful perspective for me.
As I finished the book, I realized that one of the appeals for me about film noir is that the female characters have strength, texture and nuance . . . just like real women. Early film noir was way ahead of its time in portraying the image of women as having all of the potential to be saints and devils that men have. I wondered about why so many current films seem to present women as having more potential than men. Does that mean we will come to see that as the reality in the future?

One of the coolest MB books............2003-06-18
This book covers a niche of personality type - types at work - almost perfectly. It provides just the right amount and type of information to help anyone use Myers Briggs (MB) theory effectively in the work place. While it has a brief discussion about personality type theory in general and self assessment, there are many books that cover that in more depth, detail and with greater clarity. This book is probably best suited to those who are already somewhat familiar with the MB 16 types. For detailed background, see my favorite: Keirsey's "Please Understand Me II."
Where "Working Together" really rises above the rest is in the focused way that it addresses types at work. It provides a detailed description about how each type functions in both leadership and worker roles with the goal of maximizing performance through understanding varying traits, values and motivations that are present in each type. It even has thumb tabs to help you go right to the information that you want. It is a self proclaimed reference book that hits the mark. The format is superb. The content is exceptional.
This is a must have for the personality type obsessed and those who want to understand how and why people perform and interact the way that they do at work.
Working Together, A Personality Centered Approach to Managem.......2003-02-01
Excellent information and great as a reference guide.
Outstanding Tool!!.......2001-06-03
"Working Together" is an outstanding tool for those who have had an opportunity to examine their temperament and interaction styles. It provides insight into those you work with, as well as your own strengths and blind-spots. If you or your organization has taken the first step in maximizing your teamwork through a Myers-Briggs (Temperament/Interaction Styles) workshop, take the next step to performance by purchasing this book - excellent resource for your entire team!
An Excellent Work.......2000-12-13
I do a significant amount of team development with the use of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and have looked at a fair number of books on the subject. Without question, this is the single best work I have seen to date. The individual type descriptions contain incredible depth and detail. I have had a large number of participants and managers purchase this book and tell me that they never thought it possible for someone to describe them in such detail, especially from the interpretation of "four little letters." Highly recommended.
A book for every manager in every organization!.......1998-10-02
This is the most comprehensive book on the 16 personality types in the workplace. It is by far the best "hands-on" guide for team work in organizations. I found that the characteristics parallel with implications of those characteristics excellent in the use of conflict resolution, coaching, and development of leadership. I am going to buy one for everyone in my organization.
