Superman is widely considered to have entered the Silver Age with Action Comics #241 (June 1958) and Superman #122 (July 1958). Unlike the Flash and Green Lantern (for example), Superman was published continuously from the Golden Age into the Silver
Ok, how about this for an idea. We take it in turns to post a favourite (British spelling) comic cover every day. This went really well on the comic fan website that I used to frequent. What we tried to do was find a theme or subject and follow th
I like the Star Trek movies (some more than others), but I would have liked them more if they had hewed closer to the novelizations, which delved deeper into the characterizations and backstories of Sulu, Scott, Saavik, etc. Unique among them is the
A while back, DC announced a new line of reprints, called DC Finest, that packages about 500 pages of comics from various eras into a $40 softcover. From all appearances, it looks to be an attempt to mimic Marvel's successful Epic Collections line, i
Music? What song? By whom?
Podcasts? Which ones? Who's on it?
The whir of your hard drive while you defrag?
Whatever you're listening to, share it with the Legion of Superfluous Heroes!
This showed up at my LCS this week. I didn't pre-order it and I don't even remember seeing it solicited. It was in shrink-wrap so I couldn't look at it, but it is compiled by Craig Yoe, which is a huge plus. Looking online, I see it was originally re

I was watching the Savage/Warrior "retirement" match on disk last night, and it came to the ending where Elizabeth threw Sherri out of the ring, and the thought came to me, "Both of these women are dead now, it's depressing."
I can't believe we've gone this long without starting a beer thread. I enjoyed the one on the old board and actually tried some of the beverages that were liked by others.
I've discovered that I really like Sam Adams Oktoberfest. I've never enjoyed
My very first "Batman" comic (and my fourth overall) was Detective Comics #381. My second Batman comic (and my eighth overall) was #388. Both of these were drawn by the art team of Bob Brown and Joe Giella. #381 was written by Frank Robbins, and #388
In previous years, this was a memory box so we didn't miss any good nominations for the Cappies. With the Cappies hypertimed away, that doesn't mean we have to discontinue these threads. I've always liked going back at the end of the year and seeing
It looks like DC Comics are using the Omnibus format as their current way to collect classic material in chronological order. In the past, there have been the Archives series (hardcover, full color), the Showcase Presents series (softcover, black an
Every week, one item or another in my pull and hold stands out for me above the rest in one way or another. Sometimes it’s a periodical, sometimes a graphic novel, sometimes a collection. Does that happen to you? If so, let’s hear about it here. It c
The death of former child actor Jackie Cooper ( not to be confused with the , somewhat less fortunate as an adult and , infamously , ripped off by his parents Jackie Coogan ) inspires me to start a " Celebrity Deaths - That , Um , Don't Have The Most
