Comics+Movies: Tarantino/Feiffer

Quentin Tarantino (born 1963) is an Academy Award- and Palme d'Or-winning American film director, screenwriter and actor. He rose to fame in the early 1990s as an indie filmmaker whose films used nonlinear storylines and stylized violence
Jules Feiffer (born 1929) is an American syndicated comic-strip cartoonist and author. In 1986 he won the Pulitzer Prize for his editorial cartooning in The Village Voice, and in 2004 was inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame.

The Superman monologue delivered at the end of Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004) was inspired by a passage from Jules Feiffer's 1965 book, The Great Comic Book Heroes, which Tarantino confirmed in a 2004 interview with Entertainment Weekly. Wiki®
