Review: "SWEET SWEETBACK'S BAAD ASSSSS SONG" is Still Beatin' Some White Ass

TRASH IN MY EYE No. 184 (of 2004) by Leroy Douresseaux

Sweet Sweetback’s Baad Asssss Song (1971)
Running time: 97 minutes (1 hour, 37 minutes)
Rating: MPAA – X; re-rated R in 1974 
EDITOR/WRITER/DIRECTOR: Melvin Van Peebles
PRODUCERS: Jerry Gross and Melvin Van Peebles
CINEMATOGRAPHER: Bob Maxwell
COMPOSERS: Earth Wind & Fire and Melvin Van Peebles

CRIME/DRAMA/ACTION/THRILLER

Starring:  Melvin Van Peebles, Simon Chuckster, Hubert Scales, John Dullaghan, Johnny Amos, Mario Van Peebles, Megan Peebles, and Max Van Peebles

Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song is a 1971 action-thriller, drama, and crime film from writer-director Melvin Van Peebles.  It is considered a seminal black exploitation film or “blaxploitation” film, being one of the first that kind.  The film focuses on a Black man who goes on the run after brutally beating two police officers, with help from other marginalized people and outsiders.

After saving a black protester (likely a Black Panther) by brutally beating the two cops who were brutalizing the protester, Sweetback (Melvin Van Peebles), an apolitical sex performer goes on the run from the white pigs and other white law enforcement types.  He heads for Mexico with help from the black community and disaffected Hell’s Angels, and he also meets many unique characters on the way to freedom.

Melvin Van Peebles’ Sweet Sweetback Baad Asssss Song is considered by many people to be the film that ushered in the blaxploitation film wave.  With its emphasis on fighting “the man” (the white power structure, in particular corrupt city officials and policemen) and graphic and gratuitous sex, the film is the prototypical blaxploitation film.  However, there is likely no other film like this one in its portrayal of police corruption and the of the racist attitudes that prevail among white law enforcement officials.

Structurally, the film has a bare and simple plot, and the script is absent of story and character development.  In a many ways, the film itself is more impressionistic than literal, while the theme is literally against white oppression and (evil) white cops.  Van Peebles in collaboration with Earth, Wind, and Fire, the R&B group who would go on to have huge crossover success on the pop charts provide a constant musical backdrop for the film.  So sometimes, this movie seems like an overly long music video.  In spite of its narrative shortcomings, Sweet Sweetback’s Baad Asssss Song is bold stroke in using film to not only communicate messages and ideas, but to also be used as a means of protest.  The film is the work of an artist/firebrand; one must open up to feelings, experiences, emotions, and thoughts that are alien in order to get to the art, and when you get it, Sweetback will be like nothing else.

Comics Review: "CONAN THE BARBARIAN #7" Will Get a Rise Out of Conan Fans

CONAN THE BARBARIAN #7 (2023)
TITAN COMICS/Heroic Signatures

STORY: Jim Zub
ART: Doug Braithwaite
COLORS: Diego Rodriguez
LETTERS: Richard Starkings of Comicraft
EDITOR: Matt Murray
COVER: Alex Horley
VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Patch Zircher; Jessica Fong, Dan Panosian
32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (February 2024)

Suggested for mature readers

“Thrice Marked for Death!” Part III: “Haunted”

Conan the Cimmerian was born in the pulp fiction of Robert E. Howard (REH), first appearing in the magazine, Weird Tales (1932).  In 1970, Marvel Comics brought Conan to the world of comic books via the title, Conan the Barbarian. With only a few pauses, Conan comic books have been published for the better part of five decades.

Titan Comics and Heroic Signatures are the new producers of Conan comic books, and they launched a new Conan the Barbarian series in 2023.  The current story arc is written by Jim Zub; drawn by Doug Braithwaite; colored by Diego Rodriguez; and lettered by Richard Starkings.  Entitled “Thrice Marked for Death!,” the arc finds Conan taking up with a thieves guild known as “The Gloryhounds,” and the target of their latest act of larceny is a fine-cut, dark stone that only Conan realizes is dangerous.

Conan the Barbarian #7 (“Haunted”) opens as Conan dreams of what a wonderful, fierce, and deadly piece of ass the late Belit, captain of the Trigress and Queen of the Black Coast, was.  He awakens to find that his current piece of ass, Chaundra, fellow member of the “Gloryhounds” thieves guild, wants to emphasize how deadly poon can be.  Before long, Conan finds all his fellow thieves in the throes of something supernatural and murderous.  Can Conan survive the onslaught or will he too become a haunted plaything of evil?

THE LOWDOWN:  Titan Comics has been providing me with PDF copies of their publications for review for several years now.  Conan the Barbarian #7 is one of them.

In my review of Conan the Barbarian #6, I wrote... “Halfway through this new Conan the Barbarian story arc and writer Jim Zub is still throwing down like he's been throwing down.”  Zub is still in puttin' it down, and issue #7 is a fierce penultimate chapter to this second story arc that promises a fearsome end.  This is especially true because, thus far, this arc, “Thrice Marked for Death!,” is constantly going towards the unexpected.

Doug Braithwaite, the artist for this story arc, continues to summon the ghosts of the shadowy textures and muscular storytelling that the late great artist, John Buscema, brought to all his Conan comic books.  This issue, however, Braithwaite is at his most brutally imaginative and imaginatively brutal, and the result is some serious bloodletting.  The art shines brilliantly, cursing Conan's foes, under Diego Rodriguez's remarkable colors.  All the while, Richard Starking's letters give this Conan the Barbarian comic book a soundtrack of (Thulsa) doom.

People looking for good comic books should be reading Titan Comics' Conan the Barbarian.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Conan comic books will want to try Titan Comics and Heroic Signatures' Conan the Barbarian.

[This comic book includes the essay, “Robert E. Howard and His Ages Undreamed Of” Part Seven, by Jeffrey Shanks, although it is mistakenly listed as “Part Six.”]
