I very much remember buying this issue of ACTION COMICS at the local 7-11, where its very nice Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez cover stared out at me. This was part two of a long four-part saga that I recall enjoying--in part because it featured a villain I was acquainted with: Amazo, the android who duplicated all … Continue reading BHOC: ACTION COMICS #481
This is the first issue of Dr. Jerry Bails' newsletter, The Comicollector, dated September 1961. It was intended as a more periodical release than Bails' main fanzine, Alter-Ego , intended to provide a place for fans to buy, sell and swap comics and to disseminate the latest news and gossip from the big publishers. It … Continue reading The Comicollector #1
In 1973, Charlton took one last late stab in getting a foothold into the super hero market with the publication of E-MAN, a light-hearted and whimsical super hero series about an energy being birthed in a star who came to Earth and became a costumed adventurer. It was a fun title and well-remembered, but it … Continue reading Brand Echh – E-Man #2
A post from my old now-gone Marvel blog concerning the history of Marvel's cover design. (One of the hazards of these reposts is that I often don't have copies of all of a given sequence, and none of it is in the right order--hence, Part Four without Parts One, Two or Three...) Covers pt 4 … Continue reading Blah Blah Blog – Covers, Part Four

I can't say what drew me to in in particular, apart from simply … Continue reading BHOC: DEFENDERS #30
Well, going to have a lot less to say about this episode than the last one, I expect. Praxeus was a nice, simple done-in-one adventure without any particular connectivity to the ongoing arc of the series. Without the lead-in bit last episode, you really could have watched this one at any point during the series. … Continue reading Doctor Who – Praxeus
It seems as though--for good reason or bad--people got a kick out of seeing the Ego-Man story parodying Stan Lee from SICK magazine last week. And so, since there were a number of these done, I thought I would show you another one. In this case, the inaugural installment, from SICK Magazine #120. The Grand … Continue reading Brand Echh – Sick #120 – Ego-Man
A post from my old Marvel blog concerning the book How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way and one example therein. The Marvel Way April 28, 2007 | 1:00 AM | By Tom_Brevoort | In General Picking up on some of the thinking we were doing a week or so ago, following on the last … Continue reading Blah Blah Blog – The Marvel Way
I bought this issue of DAREDEVIL out of the local drugstore's Big Bin of Out of Date Comics, a place that I was visiting with increasing regularity. I had previously seen the following issue, #143, in the bin as well, but when I went back for this one, all copies of #143 were gone, so … Continue reading BHOC: DAREDEVIL #142
