"That cover is so odd -- drawn by Murphy Anderson, with this weird Neal Adams image of a guitar-playing troubadour that looks like it was cut and pasted from several other pictures. The physical proportions of the guitar player are WAY off,…"

""In one alleged incident, Brubaker pointed a working firearm at Noohu’s face and pulled the trigger, according to the lawsuit filed on Wednesday in California state court."

"One character I remembered from way way back was NYPD Sgt. Francis Tork, who was a supporting character in The Falcon miniseries from 1983. He later showed up in Black Panther during the run where T'Challa was mostly out of the book while writer…"

"I don't have any stories that are terrible, I'm afraid. Our power did go out about two weekends ago. I knew it because the console on the burglar alarm started chirping every 10 seconds and woke me up.

ClarkKent_DC replied to Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod)'s discussion DC's "New" Facsimile Tabloid Editions
"Since Untold Legend of The Batman established a precedent of doing miniseries at the tabloid size, I could go for Superman: Man of Steel, the six-issue post-Crisis series that re-introduced Superman. And maybe World of Krypton, DC's first…"

ClarkKent_DC replied to Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod)'s discussion DC's "New" Facsimile Tabloid Editions
"I don't buy every one of these, but I absolutely HAD to get the Untold Legend of The Batman tabloid. 
Yes, Superman #400 would be a worthy candidate for reprinting at the tabloid size. Also, Detective Comics #500. Those two were the most truly…"

In a couple of ways, the first season of Mission: Impossible was its best.  While I had no problem with Peter Graves as Jim Phelps, the leader of the IMF, I preferred Steven Hill as Dan Briggs.  Briggs looked like an ordinary…"

"I've got that 80 Page Giant Superrman Annual, and was eternally fascinated by that cover panel of Superman wearing a domino mask and toting a big yellow sack labled "$100,000." As I recall (at least as recounted in the ever-wonderful The Great…"
