It obviously features the DC Comics character, Aquaman, and was…

A telekinetic Russian super soldier, Ivan Tibor, goes rogue two years after defecting to the USA and starts blowing up low level…
DetailsEveryone is talking about the new Star Wars movie and can you blame them? It was great! I plan to see it again soon. And with that in mind, I thought I’d pull out a Star Wars comic for this weeks’ RETRO REVIEW. And since it’s time for an independent comic, rather than a Marvel…
DetailsWelcome back to 1 out of 5 – Would Recommend, where our favorite directors are beneath the notice of even the Razzies.

DetailsSince Friday falls on Christmas Day this year, I thought I’d offer up something a little different from my usual RETRO REVIEW and Fabulous Find columns. So simply, I thought I’d share some Holiday art from my favorite comic book publisher, Marvel Comics. First up is a panel from a Spider-Man book by Ross Andru:…

Our month long celebration of Christmas continues this week with the 1972 cinematic lump of coal, Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny. What’s The Plot? Santa Claus’ sleigh becomes stuck on a Florida beach somehow and enlists a diverse…
DetailsTime again for a new, or is that old, Fabulous Find? This week I’ve excavated another old fanzine from my collection. This one is an early one, maybe the oldest in my collection.
