So Sick of Crappy Storytelling
Here’s a good idea. Say you live a fast-paced lifestyle and are constantly on the go- it’s possible your comic reading has suffered. You might like to get some reading done on the can, but that requires bringing comics with you to the bathroom. That’s a lot of work. Here’s a convenient way to stay [...]
Now I just need to find a ViewMaster…
I think everyone in the age group of 20-40 probably owned a ViewMaster at some point in their childhood. Looking back, it seems pretty wack, but I only have warmth in my heart for this weird toy. I think if I had to explain this to someone under the age of 16 at this point, [...]
That’s an ugly grimace…
Classic rivals. It only makes it better that one of them almost never really wins. The HULK is just too much for the THING. Always. Always. Always. It’s like one of those rules you find out about a week after you buy your first comic. But the beautiful part is that ol’ Ben Grimm never [...]
Arthur Adams, Chapter 2: For the penny wise
With such a wealth of work, it’s not hard to find those big name items. They just come with those big ticket prices. What about those of us who just don’t have that kind of money lying around? No worries. Many cool items abound to add to a unique Arthur Adams appreciation. His two most(?) [...]
Arthur Adams, Chapter 1: Deep Pockets
Great artists die hard. I think like the great John Travolta, Arthur Adams had a lil’ bit of the Phoenix Force in his guts too. Because after being on the outskirts of mainstream comics for much of the 90′s, Arthur Adams has returned with the gusto he had in the 80′s, and then some. I’d [...]
Start’m Young
Old enough to teethe… old enough to read! Here’s an effort on the part of Marvel to make fans for life out of toddlers. While I don’t know why an infant would want to chew on The Hulk’s hand, I respect their right to do so and, moreover, I respect Marvel’s hustle. God bless a [...]
#200
We recently passed 200 posts. Pretty decent. 300 is going to come a lot faster. Promise. But seeing as how most comic series don’t make it to 200, I figured it was worth celebrating with some #200 covers. Β For some reason, #100 seems like a bigger deal than #200, as if making it 100 issues [...]
Did I click the wrong link?
“Wait. Is this my daughter’s blog feed? Why is there a box of rings on this comic blog?Β I am not interested in this. BAH.”Β But wait… let’s pop the hood on this “fashion rings” disguise. BOOM! Marvel hero rings. I wish I could find a better image somewhere online but no luck. Looks like [...]
This seems really inappropriate.
Uhhh. I wonder what Lou Ferrigno thinks of this. Not a fan. Honestly, you couldn’t find some purple felt anywhere? Even a belt would’ve helped. Honestly, I think the seller is getting a laugh out of this one. Look at the way the Hulk’s legs are turned. That is one bashful, plastic, green man.
The Green Teat*.
I had literally no idea that Sci Fi legend and noted curmudgeon Harlan Ellison ever wrote for comic books. I can only imagine what the plots of these two issues are, and what his thoughts on working in the comics industry were afterward. *- Don’t get the title? Do yourself a favor, find a copy [...]
