"In addition to the "following" option, the first casualty was to be alerted to brand new threads. That stopped working a long time ago. Since I have confirmed that the "Forum" tells me both things, I will be unfollowing the threads I previously…"
"Comics and Opera Dept .: one of the better-known 20th century operas is The Cunning Little Vixen by Leoš Janáček. (Wikipedia says the Czech title translates as Tales of Vixen Sharp-Ears.) This was based on an illustrated Czech newspaper serial,…"
"Following in this way was what I did for years. Lacking the emails, I had been using the "Forum" column on the home page and reading all the ones with recent dates. If I decide to stick with this method I'll probably unfollow to stop the emails."
"God give you all strength."
"Way back when a contributor to the Captain's board noted that Galactus was designed to look like a Roman man of action, in contrast to the Watcher's philosopher or senator. Hence he has a skirt and bare legs (originally).
Galactus is an alien who…"

"I've not seen the 1995 story. In "The Death of Clark Kent!" from Superman #42 Superman has to abandon his Clark Kent identity because Lois has seen him apparently killed in a "sewer gas" explosion. The story is handled comically: he tries to…"
"I registered with a now rarely-used email, and hadn't checked for a little while.
Yep, we're back to receiving alerts."

"I'm the opposite: I don't want to get them. There's a "follow" button top right above the replies. Clicking on it sets it to "following"."
"I wasn't aware of this series. Barr earlier wrote a comparable story for the final issue of The Brave and the Bold. The story involved the Earth-One and Earth-Two versions of Batman, although they didn't meet. The Earth-Two sequence was drawn (and…"
"Somewhere I crabbed about no longer receiving Ning emails alerting me to posts on threads that allowed me to request those updates. For a long period these Ning emails stopped completely. Recently I would get one random such email a day. Today, I…"
"The idea that hillbilly women marry young was a stereotype back in the day.
I wasn't aware of the dialogue about Juliet's age. Checking, I find the scene (1.3) establishes that at the time of scene she's "a fortnight and odd days" short of…"

"Congo Bill and the Vigilante=supporting characters in Action Comics, Spy Smasher=a supporting character in Whiz Comics: so counting Captain Marvel and Superman (twice), six of these serials came from just two titles. From 1942 the next-most popular…"
"The first Batman serial predated the first Superman one, although Superman had already appeared on screen in cartoons (1941-43). Batman appeared in 1943, Batman and Robin in 1949. Superman appeared in 1948, Atom Man vs. Superman in 1950.

"I didn’t think I’d read this one, but I remember the irritating scene where Batman intimidates the man Black Canary is questioning, which makes her look incompetent.
The handling of Black Canary reads as if Michael Fleisher based it on how she was…"

"In the period "boob"=fool. (But "bubbies" for breasts goes way back.)
"The Atom" was still by its creators, Bill O'Conner and Ben Flinton, and credited. The GCD credits the inking of these early stories to Leonard Sansone.

"Burnley drew "Starman" nicely, but it was a dully-written, formula strip. The reverse of "Batman" or "Wonder Woman", which elaborated their worlds, and without the character comedy and zestful action of "Superman"."

Henry K has asked me to relay an invitation to you: I'd appreciate it if you could let Luke Blanchard, Phillip Portelli, and anyone else who posted in my "NEW GODS", "WESTERNS" and "BIBLE" threads know about my KIRBY LAND group.
After a Jack Kirby Fan Group forum was hijacked by an unscrupulous individual on Facebook, Henry began his own forum, titled "Kirbyland" where he, and like-minded individuals continue to promote their beliefs on Facebook.
He wanted you to know.
