"(Of course, the Bond we know would be pretty young in WWII, lying about his age to join the service.)
Not necessarlily. Bond joined the Secret Service in 1938 (he would have been 17 or 18 years old at the time), as described by a Russian dossier…"
"One thing that surprises me about the DC Finest volume is that they didn't include any material from the Kobra stories that Randu appears in. I assume those issues are where he was stricken with the blindness mentioned in Batman Family. True,…"

"Carly clashes with Z; Josslyn gets a surprise; Britt pleads with Dante; Nina is gutted; Lulu is stunned.
John Oliver acted the $#!t out of that role. He wanted to shoot someone, and he wanted to be slapped. He shot someone in his first episode, and…"
"The reason I said "whatever you may think of it" is because I've seen it three different times and came away with three (slightly) different opinions. I didn't see the movie at all in 1980, based entirely on the opinion of my peers. They went in…"
When Dark Horse reprinted Hisao Tamaki's manga adaptation of the first Star Wars movie for an American audience, quite a bit was changed. Not only was the art "flipped" to read left-to-right, but all of…"
"VIVA LAS VEGAS: Ann-Margret gets the opportunity to perform with IRL "Conrad Birdie."

Jeff, I want to thank you and Tracy for the well-wishes you have given me, just to let you know how touching and thoughtful I think it was. I'm happy to tell you that I'm doing much better and I feel about 99% back to normal. Of course, it's easy to recuperate when all I have to think about is getting better while Adam takes every other burden upon himself. Here on Earth-B he has the reputation of being rather a cranky old cuss, but I know he's as sweet as a puppy! Tell him I said that and I'll blame it on the stroke.
Thank you again, Jeff, for thinking of me and do, please, pass my thanks and best wishes on to Tracy.
Happy new year!
Cheryl
