Super Movie Monday – Spider-Man 1977
No real screencaps in this one because the only version I could watch was an awful low-rez video upload on Youtube. I’m launching into the Spider-Man films, but first I want to revisit the original Spider-Man production from 1977. This … Continue reading
Out of the Vault – Cap’n Quick and a Foozle
Coming in a day late, sorry. Still trying to adjust my time management to an overnight schedule. Last week, we revisited a story published by Eclipse titled “Slab,” which was a reworking of a Steve Englehart Superman/Creeper story he had … Continue reading
Out of the Vault: The Foozle

In 1977, DC and Marvel were in dire straits. Rising costs for paper and printing were driving up costs even as readership seemed to be declining. Some people were predicting the end of the American comics industry. But DC had … Continue reading
Super Movie Monday – X-Men: First Class, Part 3
Here it is, the final chapter of the final (so far) movie of 20th Century Fox’s X-Men series. Last week, evil mutant Sebastian Shaw had manipulated the U.S. and the Soviet Union into a confrontation off the coast of Cuba … Continue reading
Rare Find: Ditko Public Health Pamphlet from 1992!
Okay, so here’s the deal. It just so happens that, while researching for Out of the Vault, I found out that a prominent comics professional’s papers were being held in a special collection at a local university. So I went … Continue reading
