Welcome back to a new RETRO REVIEW! And this week, I am looking at Doom Patrol # 100, cover dated December 1965 from DC Comics. The comic sports a cover both pencilled and inked by Bob Brown and features Elasti-Girl battling a dinosaur! I don’t know what it was about DC back in the Silver Age,…
Happy Friday all! The weekend has arrived and also another edition of Greg Turner’s Fabulous Finds! This week I’ve dug into my basement wonderland and uncovered issue number five (5) of Jim Steranko’s Comixscene! It’s cover dated July – August 1973, and I purchased it at the 1974 Detroit Triple Fan Fair from Jim Steranko, himself! It’s the…
Welcome back to Strange Times & Places, where we’re looking at the second of the two all-time classic Cold War-set DC Comics Elseworlds: DC: The New Frontier! How’s It Different? It’s a Royale With Cheese and the best way to describe this mini’s timeline is “The DCU’s Post-Crisis timeline, but in real world time”. Barry…
I’m still in the midst of the “Big Move” So once again this week, I am bringing back one of my oldest RETRO REVIEWs for you reading enjoyment. This was originally posted in January 2010, so most of my readers of today will have not seen it before, and I suspect only of couple of…
Welcome back to Strange Times & Places, where we’ll be taking two weeks to examine two DC Comics stories that tackle similar themes with similar characters while being very different tales. First up is 1993’s The Golden Age! How’s It Different? Hmmm….I’d say Royale With Cheese, though honestly it barely counts as an Elseworlds tale.…
Time for another RETRO REVIEW for your reading pleasure! I believe it’s time for a DC Comics issue, so I have pulled out my copy of DC Comics Presents # 62, cover dated October 1983. Why did I pull this particular issue out, you ask? Good question, as it is far from a favorite issue,…
Say what? That doesn’t sound like a Fabulous Find, you might be thinking, and you’d be correct. I thought I’d do something a little different this time, as I am fighting the dreaded deadline doom! I’ve pulled out one of my first blog posts and have given it a bit of spit and polish. Hopefully you’ll…
Welcome back to Scripting Errors, where we look at movies that might have been! In honor of Wonder Woman’s second weekend of box office domination, we go back in time ten years prior to her big screen debut and see how Joss Whedon would have treated her. Who Wrote It and When? Joss Whedon, already…
Welcome back to this week’s column/blog. I guess Chris and I are on the same wavelength, as he wrote about Wonder Woman in his column this week and I’ll be doing something similar today. For this week’s Fabulous Find I have dug around in the first box of fanzines I came across and pulled out Amazing…
Hey gang, time for a new Fabulous Find, this week, and I’ve brought to light five (5) tabloid newspapers which presented comic strip reprints. The newspapers are entitled; “Chapters”, subtitled; “showcasing the finest in continuity comic strips”. And yes the quotation marks are actually included in the title of the newspaper! Issue number 0ne (1)…
