I just finished volume two in IDW's "Champagne Edition" format (June 7, 1936 through March 5, 1939) and I must admit, reading both "Jungle Jim" and "Flash Gordon" really breaks up the flow of both stories. This is…"
"Tragg and the Sky Gods, which I posted in Cover a Day, was another one of Glut's series.
I found that just after I posted. (I always work the main page from top to bottom until I get to my last previous post.) the way you began your post above…"
"Great story! Tragg and the Sky Gods, which I posted in Cover a Day, was another one of Glut's series. He tied them all together and incorporated some of Gold Key's superheroes, like the Man of the Atom and The Owl. He tried very hard to create some…"
"That Dagar series (as well as The OF of DS) was written by Don Glut and collected by Dark Horse back in the 2K-teens, which is when I read it. According to his introductions, Glut had an editor who steadfastly refused to entertain the possibilty…"
"Dagar the Invincible. I only sporadically found copies of Dagar the Invincible, Gold Key's take on Conan the Barbarian, when I was a kid. I spent some time the other day making my way through the entire series after finding it scanned online. It has…"
Don't let the uninspired (and incorrect) title of this series fool you: this is a really good crime noir murder mystery. I suspect that the title was editorially mandated, but it is correct in the sense that story tells the…"
"I just wrapped up the Gotham Central Omnibus -- a terrific collection of a terrific series. Apparently it fixes some issues with the original printing of one of the issues (and subsequent trader paperback reprintings) in that in an issue where the…"
"FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE - THE COMPLETE LIBRARY: VOLUME SIX:
SPOILERS: Michael begins dating Deanna; Elizabeth navigates high school; April goes to kindergarten; Elly's mother dies; John turns 50; gordon and Tracy have a baby; Weed and Mike go on a…"
"Finally catching up with Ed the Happy Clown.
It's.... interesting. A little like stumbling across a Die Antwoord video in the 20-teens and not being sure what the *&$%^ you're looking at. In short: confusing, offensive, occasionally clever,…"
"SUPERMAN ARCHIVES v7 - "Superman from the Beginning" (Part 11):
The stories in this volume (from Superman #25-29) appeared between late 1943 and the summer of 1944, but Jerry Siegel wrote only two of them and Joe Shuster drew only one. Siegel had…"
"A while back, I read The Question Omnibus volume 1; I just wrapped up volume 2 the other night. Let me just say, Volume 1 is far superior. Volume 2 wraps up the regular series, which is great throughout. We also get a second Question/Green Arrow…"
"I seem to recall it's around 1974 when Peppermint Patty realizes that Snoopy is a beagle, and not a "funny looking kid with a big nose."
Thrillsville '74."
The WWI flying ace fades into the background as Peppermint Patty and Woodstock move to the fore. Marcie enters in 1974, and Rerun makes a single Sunday appearance in this volume. I am now exactly halfway through…"
I'm working my way through those Zoids strips myself. I thought I'd read the whole run as the Morrison stuff is right at the end and I wanted all the context.
They're good fun. I think I'm scratching the itch I had as a kid when I couldn't afford those big lumps of colourful plastic that looked so cool in the ads.
Actually I'm downloading them as I just know I'm going to visit that site some day and see that they've been taken down...
If you happen to find out the creative credits for the different episodes and their publishing dates I'd be grateful for the info. I couldn't find them anywhere.
