The Funnies as They Were Meant to Be!
Scripps Howard News Service
July 14, 2009 -- Do you remember how exciting the Sunday comics used to be? That’s the excitement this not-quite-a-kid-any-more got with DC’s Wednesday Comics.
Although published by a comic-book company and appearing each Wednesday with the weekly shipments of comic books to comics shops (hence its name), Wednesday Comics ($3.99) isn’t really a comic book. It’s more like the Sunday funnies,… Continue

I Like Ham
Let's see, what have I done lately that might be of interest to you folks? Well, I bought the wicked-hooby special DVD of The Watchmen that come out this week. Gosh, it's long. I'm glad it wasn't that long in the the-ay-ter, I never would've made it through the whole thing if it was, on account of being a middle-aged guy. ('Nuff said.) Actually, I don't know how much longer it was than the… Continue

Simon & Kirby: The first superstars of comics
Scripps Howard News Service
July 7, 2009 -- Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, the first superstars of the comic-book industry, are being celebrated in a new hardback by Titan Books.
The Best of Simon and Kirby ($39.95) lovingly reprints 26 stories from 1940 to 1960 by the first comic-book creators to have their bylines on the cover, in an era that usually didn’t have creator credits anywhere at all. And well they should: Simon and Kirby… Continue
