There was almost a TV show based on DC Comics' Deadman, but maybe it's a good thing it didn't happen, says artist Neal Adams.

NPR pays tribute to electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire, co-creator of the original "Doctor Who" theme.

She created music for the world's first fashion show with an electronic soundtrack (and considering the commonality of techno/dance music on the runway, she left a legacy in that field, too). She organized robotic noise in a way that felt truly alien, shocking sounds whole decades ahead of this music's time.
