The fifty-pound turkey stood on the grass, panting nervously. It was as if the fearful creature knew that Thanksgiving was only a little more than a week away.
That, of course, was impossible. More likely what was giving the turkey fits was the small throng of low-level officials and spectators and newsmen---naturally, newsmen---that hovered around it. Upon…

Not all graphic novels work on every level, nor are they to every taste. This week I’d like to look at some books that came oh-so-close to greatness, only to fall short just a tad.
At the top of the list is The Nao of Brown ($24.95, SelfMadeHero), by writer/artist Glyn Dillon. This is an absolutely beautiful book, executed with sparkling artwork, insightful…

Last week, I wrote about the best sidekicks in comic books. As I was working on my list, I remembered a lot of great sidekicks that have appeared in other media. Instead of tossing them all into one big list, I decided to split them off with a second list. So here you go, my list of the best sidekicks in movies, television, cartoons and classic literature.

Certain things in comic books were handled with a bit more discretion back in the old days.
Although it seems pointlessly quaint to modern-era sensiblilities, the office of the President of the United States was treated with a special reverence when it…

I’ve always like sidekicks. Maybe it was because of a lack of self-confidence. I had a hard time imagining myself as Batman. But I could easily imagine I was Robin riding alongside the Caped Crusader. Maybe it was because of my affinity for the underdog. Sidekicks seemed to be mocked more often than not and I liked to see them prove themselves to their mentors, their foes and…

The first round of collections from DC’s “The New 52” initiative featured the publisher’s strongest characters and titles. Now we’re reaching a little deeper into the catalog, with much more mixed results.
Which is not to belittle The Flash, a strong character with a…

I came to Marvel Comics late in the game. While I had been reading DC’s comics since the beginning of the Silver Age, I didn’t tumble to Marvel until about 1965. Oh, I had seen Marvel Comics. There had been a few lying around the barber shop where I got my hair cut. I had taken a look at them, didn’t recognise any of the characters, and tossed them…

Ever see someone do something so well it discourages you from ever trying?
As a wannabe comic-book artist myself, there have been a lot of masters over the years that have that have been that good. And of those masters, few are as magnificent as the man who created “The Rocketeer.” In Dave Stevens: Covers and Stories (IDW Publishing, $49.99) you can see how…
