Given that George left us only 24 hours ago, it seems fitting that today we take a look at the final portion of the PEREZ: ACCENT ON THE FIRST E Fanzine/Portfolio that Omnibus published in 1977, one of the first instances when George's work was singled out among his peers for praise and attention. This … Continue reading Perez: Accent on the First E, Part 3
December 20, 1949: Clark Kent marries Lois Lane, for real! As we related last time https://tombrevoort.com/2022/02/21/forgotten-masterpiece-the-buried-marriage-of-superman-and-lois-lane/ In the daily SUPERMAN newspaper strip, at the end of 1949, Clark Kent and Lois Lane got legitimately married. It was clear, looking at those strips, that the marriage was intended to be a dream on the part of … Continue reading Forgotten Masterpiece: The Buried Newspaper Marriage of Superman and Lois Lane, Part 2
A post from my Marvel blog of old, this one recounting a story that happened at the New York Comic Convention one year. I'm afraid that I no longer have the drawing of Nightcrawler that is mentioned in the text, nor the one of Mister Fish.

So as I've related before, it came out at some point that the branch of the Chase Manhattan Bank that my father worked out of was situated in the Levittown Mall--the same Mall that contained the first comic book shop that I ever went to, Heroes' World. What this amounted to in practice is that, … Continue reading BHOC: FANTASTIC FOUR #107
Here's the second part of the PEREZ: ACCENT ON THE FIRST E portfolio fanzine, published in 1977 by Omnibus Publishing. This was one of the first places where George's artwork was hailed within the fan press, a reflection of his growing popularity. While the opening portion of the volume was largely dedicated to a long … Continue reading Perez: Accent on the First E, Part 2
This issue of MYSTERY IN SPACE, another book that I got in my Windfall Comics purchase of 1988, sports another of those great halftone covers that DC production man Jack Adler was experimenting with. The added texture does give the piece a nice painterly quality, as well as far more subtlety than the typical DC … Continue reading WC: MYSTERY IN SPACE #55
A post from my Marvel blog of the late 00s sharing an actual letter with an odd suggestion that I had received from a fan. From the Mailbag February 20, 2009 | 1:00 AM | By Tom_Brevoort | In General Received in the fan mail today, and offered without comment or attribution, here's this week's … Continue reading Blah Blah Blog – From the Mailbag
I picked up this new issue of GREEN LANTERN (CO-STARRING GREEN ARROW) on my regular trip to 7-11 on Thursday, new comics day. As it turned out, this was a fill-in issue of sorts, its contents likely initially commissioned for some other purpose and then burned off here. But that didn't mean that I didn't … Continue reading BHOC: GREEN LANTERN #107
Now that it's been released on home media, I finally got the opportunity to watch the second of the two new SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO 2205 films, which was actually four episodes. And I'm afraid that I have to report that the back half of 2205 wasn't quite as strong or solid as the first portion, … Continue reading STAR BLAZERS: Space Battleship Yamato 2205: A New Voyage: Stasha
With the untimely passing of Neal Adams, a giant in the field, I can't think of anything more fitting to feature than this largely-forgotten story illustrated by him for Warren publishing's CREEPY #75. The piece was written by Jim Stenstrum, and while it was of its time in its era, today some 47 years later, … Continue reading Forgotten Masterpiece: CREEPY #75
