TOBY DAMMIT LP
New release: Toby Dammit. Nino Rota's rare score for Fellini's Toby Dammit will be released soon as a limited-edition vinyl LP. Part of the Spirits of the Dead omnibus project and "liberally adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's Never Bet The Devil Your Head, Federico Fellini's Toby Dammit was shot in twenty-six days over the winter of 1967-68, at the experimental film center near Cinecetta in Rome. It is an extraordinary piece of genuine film psychedelia, and rightly regarded to be amongst the director's finest work. The film was originally intended to be part of a Poe homage with contributions also from Ingmar Bergman and Orson Welles. In the event, Fellini's co-directors would be Louis Malle and Roger Vadim. Nino Rota's labyrinthine music is complimented here by Ray Charles performing Ruby (It's You) which is used eloquently in a scene at the awards ceremony."
The film itself is a wonderful time capsule of the period. 1967-1968 saw an interesting transition from the Mod aesthetics of the early-mid decade toward psychedelia and signs of social unrest. Examples of the shift could be seen in projects such as Danger Diabolik, The Prisoner, The Monkees 'Head', Easy Rider, Barbarella, Wonderwall, Casino Royale, Naked Under Leather (Girl On a Motorcycle), The President's Analyst, and Yellow Submarine. In Toby Dammit Terence Stamp portrayed an actor, seemingly pushed over the edge from success -and excess- who was brought to Italy to participate in a ceremony. Fellini's images concocted a feverish nightmare wrapped in vibrant colors and stylish fashion and technology. He had achieved a new level of colorful fantasy in Juliet of the Spirits (1965), and Toby Dammit showed the director at the height of his exploration of cinema as montage of cartoon/distilled graphics. This quality was made even more dramatic in the film by his use of stark textures and minimal set designs. The first third of the film glowed in amber futurism, with images of modern airport architecture and sci-fi globe monitors, and then gave way to a colder color palette as the protagonist sank deeper into his nightmare. It's was really a mini masterpiece. Check it out if you haven't seen it yet! The soundtrack record will be available from the Bella Casa label on Feb 26th in Europe and on March 4th in the US. More info at Amazon and AmazonUK. You can preview the music here. The film is available on DVD from Amazon here.

NEW S.H.I.E.L.D. BOOKS
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E..L.D., Marvel will release two books later this month. S.H.I.E.L.D. The Complete Collection will compile the first missions from Strange Tales #135-150, Fantastic Four #21 and Tales of Suspense #78. From the press release: "Having revolutionized everything from super heroes to war and Westerns, in 1965 Lee & Kirby set their sights on the spy game (and their own vision of James Bond), starring Nick Fury. Cold War covert ops had been dominating headlines, so they created an international organization to protect the Marvel Universe. Headed by Agent Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. featured amazing gadgets, world-dominating villains and the debut of the awesome Helicarrier! It also brought back members of the original Howling Commandos, still appearing in their World War II adventures in Sgt. Fury, and co-starring Captain America and other surprise guests. Additional artists include the superlative John Severin for three issues, and outstanding inking by the likes of Joe Sinnott (who was simultaneously doing The Fantastic Four), John Buscema, Don Heck, Ogden Whitney, George Roussos, Frank Giacoia, and Mike Esposito." 256 pages. The collection (cover below) hits the shelves on October 20th. If that's not enough Nick Fury for you, Marvel will also release a 960-page S.H.I.E.L.D. OMNIBUS on the same day. From the press release: "In a single complete volume, one of the Marvel's most-innovative series- S.H.I.E.L.D.! With international threats on the rise, Tony Stark and a council of global powers tapped Nick Fury to protect the U.S. from Hydra, A.I.M., Baron Strucker and the Yellow Claw. The greatest team in comics, Stan Lee & Jack Kirby, dove into the world of covert ops, mixing Cold War drama with the mighty Marvel manner. They set the tone, but when Jim Steranko took over, he rewrote the entire rulebook. Steranko turned S.H.I.E.L.D. into one of the most visually innovative comic books ever published and every issue, every story is presented in oversized glory! Collecting Strange Tales (1951) #135-168, Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (1968) #1-15, Fantastic Four (1961) #21, Tales Of Suspense (1959) #78, Avengers (1963) #72, Marvel Spotlight (1971) #31 and material from Not Brand Echh (1967) #3, 8 & 11." The S.H.I.E.L.D. comics of the 1960s were revolutionized in their early run by innovative artist, Jim Steranko, who brought a modern, dynamic energy to the series with his his unique synthesis of op art, 60s fashion, advertising graphics, technology, and James Bond flair. Marvel has published Steranko S.H.I.E.L.D. collections in the past, most recently in 2013. IDW has also included S.H.I.E.L.D. in their catalog of Artist Editions, treating fans to an up-close look at Steranko's original art. Their first volume was published in 2014. The Marvel Masterworks series included S.H.I.E.L.D. volumes in 2009. If readers have not picked up any these editions in the past, now is a great time to explore the missions of Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Read more about the new S.H.I.E.L.D. Collection and OMNIBUS at Marvel Comics.
