The Supermen Of America Club.
Groucho Marx famously once said “I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member”. Well eff that. If The Supermen Of America Club would take me as a member, I would sign up in a heartbeat. Look at all this cool stuff you get! I’d even change my name [...]
Ok, Who’s Got A Jean Jacket I Can Borrow?
Pins and patches. The cornerstone of every Denim Dan’s jacket decorating. Me, I’d go for the pins. I’ve never been a big patch guy.
Comic Book Character Merchandising: It’s Not Just For Kids Anymore.
Good news for all you grown up comic fans out there! Now you can light your cigarette off your crotch with this: And when you get done, you can snuff it out in this: (I won’t lie to you, the ashtray’s pretty sweet. It’s vintage, donchaknow.)
Hawkman vs Hawkman.
Two posters. Two Hawkmen. In one corner, the legendary Joe Kubert version of Hawkman. Old school costume, giant chain mace, spiked knuckles… classic Hawk-style. And in the other, the early 90s space Hawkman. Lots of armor. Big gold wings. Wolverine claws. Some big knife thing. It’s not even close. This one’s old school all the [...]
What If Syndrome.
Remember back in April, when I did a post on What If…? And remember how I mentioned that later stories had a tendency to devolve into a game of “let’s kill everyone we can, in really mean ways”? This is one of those stories… The Last Avengers Story. The name implies death, certainly, but it [...]
Remember the original X-men uniforms?
Come on. You know exactly the ones I mean. You ever wonder what the “All New, All Different” team would have looked like in ‘em? Well here ya go. Yeah, Thunderbird and Sunfire aren’t there, but whatever, they were barely on the team before getting blown up and quitting like a jerk, respectively. Oh, by [...]
Spectacular Spider Byrne.
God I love John Byrne commissions. The man never skimps on the detail. Ever. Look at that background. The man could have left it blank, or just done some shadows or generic buildings. But no, instead we get these hyper detailed buildings, vertigo inducing buildings. They’re almost optical illusion creating. So cool. (This is from [...]
Do You Think Lois Lane Got One Of These?
I guess that doesn’t make sense, does it. What with this being described as a Men’s Wedding Ring and all… Say, you know what else doesn’t make sense? PUTTING A SUPERMAN LOGO ON YOUR WEDDING RING!!! And you know what makes less sense than that? ADDING A BATMAN LOGO TO THE SUPERMAN LOGO ON YOUR [...]
New and Old New Mutants Posters
Leave it to my luck for me to start dwelling on the Days of Future Present crossover and fate puts something in my way for potential purchase. Damn you. I was just getting ahead on bills. Must. Not. Click. Buy… Okay. Think I made it. It doesn’t hurt that this is a pretty unappealing poster. [...]
Arthur Adams, Chapter 3: For the refined reader.
My final post on the great Arthur Adams for today. (hey, I love trilogies.) When I think of Arthur Adams work in the 80′s, three specific books come to mind. There’s a few others, but these stand out as being the best to me. I love his X-Men work, and the Asgardian / New Mutants [...]
