The cover of Metal Men # 33 (Aug.-Sep., 1968) announced the New Metal Men.
And as savvy DC fans of the Silver Age understood, “New” was not a good thing.
As most of you know, I use the year 1968 to demark the end of the Silver Age. For a variety of reasons resulting from behind-the-scenes events too detailed to go into now. But…

Over at my website, Comics on the Brain, I take a look at 15 of my favorite cartoon title sequences. Now I'll be the first to admit that my list is just for me. It isn't the "Best Ever" or "World's Greatest" cartoon opening titles. They're just mine, as shaped by my own experience.
(And boy do I get…

Mr. Silver Age's recent re-posting of his article of the New Metal Men reminded me that, back in June of 2007, I ran two consecutive Deck Log entries on Doc Magnus' merry robot band. Since you can never have too much perspective on events from past comics…

Doc Magnus’ creations tried on new identities as The Silver Age was winding down
Dear Mr. Silver Age,
It is my understanding that near the end of their illustrious Silver Age publishing run, The Metal Men adopted human identities. Why would such impressive super-heroes wish to perform such a contrary act?

March 22, 2011 -- I didn’t think I’d enjoy SHAZAM! The Golden Age of the World’s Mightiest Mortal (Abrams ComicArts, $35), but one look at the cover told me otherwise.

As always, when I devise a list of the top anything, it’s according to me. As you might often find in the small print, your results may vary.
1. Fables (2002)
The single most consistently excellent comic book of the ‘Aughts. Fables became the face of Vertigo and defined the imprint as much as Swamp Thing or Sandman. It introduced…

March 15, 2011 -- When Dark Horse began reprinting Flash Gordon comic books last year (as opposed to the more famous comic strips, by Alex Raymond and Mac Raboy) I wondered “Why bother?” The recently released second volume answers my question.

Writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely did something relatively new and entirely entertaining with their 12-issue All-Star Superman comic book. The animated adaptation from Warner Premiere isn’t nearly as ground-breaking, but still may be the best of the DC…

It’s no secret that comic book sales are in trouble. After a high in 2007, sales have been slumping for several years. And practically everyone seems to have noticed. You don’t have to travel very far on the internet to come across a discussion about the state of the slump, the cause or the cure. Of course, having some interest in the topic, I haven’t exactly attempted to…

“I was working in the lab, late one night, when my eyes beheld an eerie sight . . . .”
Blame it on William Dozier. He was the television producer who brought Batman to the airwaves. Batman debuted on 12 January 1966 and grabbed the public like few TV shows, before or since, have. Those of you who weren’t around then and watch…
