I recently posted about Western Publishing's Dr. Solar, Man of the Atom and Turok, Son of Stone. Here now are my thoughts on the third of the Dell/Gold Key triumvirate, Magnus, Robot Fighter, the best (IMO) of the three. I first became interested in
Marvel annuals used to be truly special in the early days, but there came a time when someone at Marvel came up with the "neat idea" to monetize them by linking them together in a massive "event" to "force" readers to buy them all. For me, the "gold
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 65.DEATHS ($3.99) is by Derek Landy and Kev Walker and continues "8 Deaths of Spider-Man." I decided I'm going to follow "One World Under Doom." With that decision, I realized I needed to read "8 Deat
Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom first appeared in 1962. Gold Key published 27 issues through 1969, then Whitman published four more in 1981. All of these are available in four harcover archives or softcover tpbs from Dark Horse, and all of which are ob

I haven't read this yet. But I've got so much to say about it that I wanted to get the other stuff off my chest first. In 2016, Baron & Rude launched a HUGE (think Marvel "MONSTER"-size)
In "THE DEADLY ASSASSIN", there's a prolonged sequence (which actually got the producer KICKED OFF the show) where the hero is laying on a table while his mind enters a dream-scape and does battle with someone who's laying on another table, somewhere
Tegan’s initial adventure before she becomes an actual “companion.” I feel sorry for her auntie. I remember having a difficult time figuring out exactly what was supposed to be going the first time I watched this one (until I read about it in my epis
1)And so, we come to the end of the Troughton era, with a ten part story that was never supposed to be a ten-parter, but only became so after the plannned four- and six-parters fell through. Written in tandem by Terrance Dicks and Malcolm Hulke, it g
DAREDEVIL: UNLEASH HELL RED BAND #1 (OF 5, POLYBAG, $4.99) is by Erica Schultz (Daredevil: Gang War, Daredevil: Woman Without Fear) and Valentina Pinti (Blade, Immortal Thor). If I'm reading the solicitation right, ther
1)Looking for a way to celebrate the show's tenth anniversary, Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks decided to act on the fan suggestion of having the three Doctors meet, an idea which was unfortunately hampered by the fact that William Hartnell was suffei
1)This is very much a transitional episode - the arrival of Steven Taylor as a member of Team TARDIS, the first indication that the TARDIS is not unique and the last story produced by original producer Verity Lambert.
1)Another old favorite, this one featuring an all-male cult as counterpoint to the Sisterhood from "The Brain of Morbius". This one also featured the debut of the "wooden" console room, which was my favorite of the sets they used in the old series.

The Time War. The Doctor has been injured and brought to a Time Lord field hospital. His body glows with energy, but this is no regeneration into a future form - instead, the Doctor’s past faces begin to appear as he flits haphazardly betw
I have been living in the late '80s recently (actually I have been commuting back and forth), and it occured to me that I have read almost the entire First Comics series Crossroads over the course of various discussions. I read issues #1-2 as part o
Back in April, while perusing the internet for the Dark Shadows Cookbook, I discovered (in a classic case of bad-timing) Danny Horn's "Dark Shadows Every Day Blog"... two weeks before it came to an end. But now he's got a new blog, and here's his int
