Dick Tracy For The Win.
Seller brianhowardart has a lot of really sweet looking original art from the likes of Neal Adams, Glenn Fabry, Marc Silvestri, and more… So many pieces of good lookin’ original work up for sale. But my favorite piece isn’t from a comic book. It’s this original Dick Tracy strip from 1938: So Karpse isn’t one [...]
Aurora Models Rule.
I’ve said so before. Many times. But it’s been awhile since I’ve stumbled upon any. So I’m real psyched to see the 4 of these (5 if you count the 2nd Batman model) up all in row courtesy of seewolfesplace. The Hulk has that sick metallic sheen, and Batman is pretty pristine looking, but I [...]
I’ll Need to See Some Verification
Oh, what do we have here? An original piece of art by Rob Liefeld. I would list his credits, but no need. He had his own Levi’s television spot back in the day. He’s like Snoopy or the Phillie Phanatic- he transcends his assigned role and takes his place as a member of the pop-culture [...]
Top 100 Summer Comics #1
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… but those were our times. #1 – Spider-Man 1 I was 9 years old when this came out. Do you know what that means? It’s the perfect age for a child into comic books. Young enough to embrace the suspended disbelief, old enough [...]
Top 100 Summer Comics #2
While searching for this cover image, I came across a site I was unaware of, and plan to investigate further. Jean-Grey dot com. Interesting. I have some big fall plans for recurring posts, but one I am dwelling on is “no one drew it better”, a series on artists large and small, who I feel [...]
Monday is Merc Day
I work in an area that has far more homeless people than permanent residents. Of those thousands of homeless, many, sadly, are fighting mental illness. I interact with them every day and always walk away grateful that I don’t have to wrestle with mental health issues. Coming into contact with the mentally ill on the [...]
The Few. The Proud. The Punisher Poster.
There are few comic book characters whose poster you can get away with still having on your wall past the age of 15. I think The Punisher is one of those. Obviously it depends on the artwork as well, but these I think are the 4 best choices (and yes, we have had this first [...]
Dear Toy Companies,
Cut me a break. I am desperately attempting to rid myself of this collecting affliction. I’m doing my best, but these kind of deep cuts are sucking me in to new, dangerous worlds of products. For example. These toys echo not just cool heroes from my childhood, but weird versions. Purple, giant “M” Magneto? Fresh [...]
Top 100 Summer Comics #3
Probably the most frequent recurring theme in this list is John Byrne. He’s one of those figures that you know is a big deal, but maybe not even realize just how BIG of a deal he’s been. For example… Michael Eisner (you know, that Disney guy) was involved in what seems to be about 40% [...]
Top 100 Summer Comics #4
Gene Ha wasn’t meant for the world of hero comics. He was too good. #5 – Askani’son 1 His style was both science fiction and organic, which created this surreal futuristic setting that has not often been replicated. His take on the book MADE it – the stories are great, and Scott Lobdell deserves some [...]
