"That was a REALLY stupid call by ABC to pressure The Greatest American Hero producers to redact Ralph Hinckley's name. Not only is the spelling different (a subtle difference, but a difference), I thought then as still do now: What if our shooter…"
"A while back, rooting through the dollar bin, I came across MAD #1. Not, of course, the holy grail MAD from October-November 1952 -- I could never be THAT lucky -- but the relaunch from 2018 (on April Fool's Day, natch, although cover-dated June…"
"That never-before reprinted Jonah Hex parody story from The Amazing World of DC Comics #13 is almost worth the price of admission by itself. I actually have a copy, and it's a real treat! It's very much in the vein of Not Brand Ecch, especially when…"
"Wow. Even though I have just about all of these stories as individual issues (I never followed the adventures of Scalphunter), they are not within easy reach so I guess I will buy this one..
I could justify buying the DC Finest Sgt. Rock volume…"

"I happened to look at Instagram yesterday and came across a posting from a young woman who used to go to my church. She and her husband stopped coming, and I lost track of them.
The posting was a closeup of her putting on lipstick, and there's a…"

"Wow. I once tried a fanfic for Homicide: Life on the Street, but never finished it. It was a crossover with another Baltimore-set show, Roc, a sitcom that later became more of a dramedy about working man Roc Emerson and his family -- devoted wife…"
"Thanks for this, Baron. I haven't seen this in maybe 50 years."
"Here goes, and this really doesn't convey everything I feel:
Randolph Mantooth didn't inspire me to be a firefighter; he inspired me to become a writer. When I was a kid, I made a fitful stab at writing an Emergency! spec story. I never finished it,…"

"I'm traveling so I will say more later, but this is a punch to the heart. My Facebook is blowing up with posts from people all saying "Because of him, I became a firefighter / EMT / first responder."
That's a great legacy. "

"I concur, J.D. I saw Supergirl over the weekend and liked it just fine. Some of the criticisms I saw in other reviews seemed either out of left field, like the lighting being so dark you can't tell what's going on (not true, at least not to my…"
"Irritatingly, I saw a couple of headlines describing Louise Lasser as "Woody Allen's wife", as if she didn't have an identity and career of her own."
"I recall reading author Richard Wright's autobiography Black Boy when I was a teenager, and in one passage he describes at great length his desire to graduate from school garbed in long pants. In the culture of the times, circa the 1920s, shorts…"
Happy Independence Day!Happy America's 250th!And in the spirit of patriotism, I call your attention to a moment in Captain America: The Winter Soldier that put a lump in my throat when I happened to run across it a year and a half ago:
"I've seen Michael, the biopic, but not this documentary; on the other hand, my son has seen this documentary but not the biopic. I'm not in a rush to see this documentary because I pretty much know what it tells us; my son is not in a rush to see…"
"I finally got around to reading Gotham City: Year One, another Tom King miniseries that plays with characters, placing them on the edge of continuity. Here, it posits how the city turned from a paradise to a crime-ridden dump, throiugh a…"
"On Father's Day, the Regal movie theater chain offered a 25th anniversary screening of Ocean's Eleven, so we went. I've seen it many times but not on a big screen since it debuted. It's as thrilling as ever, sweeping you along with all the nonsense…"

Thanks for having me….the site is great and brings back many great memories.
Thank you ClarkKent, I look forward to the future.
Thanks, ClarkKent_DC I am very excited to be here. I just found you by chance googling some comic related stuff and it seemed like a really good crew chatting on here. Looking forward to catching up with everyone!
Another church with almost the same name apparently did something similar in Cambridge, Ontario:

(Sorry. My original post had the wrong link
The church is Wesley-Knox United Church in London, Ontario. They drew a sizable crowd to Chaney's Phantom.
I have some links below. You'd have to contact them for further information:
