A long time has passed since I first bought the comics that I talk about here, so sometimes the details of their acquisition become vague. I do remember that I got this issue, THOR #259, the same day that I got the previous one, discussed yesterday. But I don't think they were in the same … Continue reading BHOC: THOR #259
The MONSTER TIMES was a biweekly newspaper devoted to horror, science fiction and fantasy that began publication in 1972 and ran until 1976. In those days before the Internet, publications such as this one were the only way that fans nationwide could get inside information about the things they loved. The thirteenth issue featured an … Continue reading The Monster Times #13
By the mid-1960s, BRAVE AND THE BOLD had morphed into a pretty strange comic book. It had started out, as its name implies, as a venue for stories of adventures in medieval times, starring characters such as the Silent Knight and the Viking Prince. When interest in those sorts of adventures waned, the book segued … Continue reading WC: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #55

This issue of THOR was another book that I got coverless in one of those plastic-wrapped bundles of supposedly-destroyed comics that my drugstore was selling. That's a Jack Kirby cover on this issue, but one that's a little bit difficult to recognize as the King's work given all of the changes and corrections that were … Continue reading BHOC: THOR #258
It's always something of an event around these parts when a new SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO project drops. And so the past decade or so has been bountiful, after a long span of drought. All of which is to say that I finally got to watch the first of the two SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO 2205 films--the … Continue reading STAR BLAZERS: Space Battleship Yamato 2205: A New Voyage
This is another of those overseas publications where, thanks to both the scarcity of information and the language barrier, I'm only going to be able to tell you so much. But it's an interesting and forgotten bit of DC history, and worth shedding a bit more light on. In 1959, thanks to the ADVENTURES OF … Continue reading Forgotten Masterpiece: The Superman Manga of Tatsuo Yoshida
An entry from my old Marvel blog, interrupting questions about the then thrice-monthly AMAZING SPIDER-MAN to talk about a current issue. Not the Spidey Post You Were Expecting October 23, 2008 | 1:00 AM | By Tom_Brevoort | In General Became swamped with stuff this week, so I haven’t had a chance to compose the … Continue reading Blah Blah Blog – Not The Spidey Post You Were Expecting
This is another unfamiliar cover for me. Unfamiliar because the copy of this book that I got had been stripped of its cover, which was sent back to the distributor for credit. However, rather than destroying the remainder of the book as he was required to do, the wholesaler instead sold it and a mountain … Continue reading BHOC: DAREDEVIL #144
