Memoirs of a Bronze Age Baby: Hercules (Modern) #11

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — Modern Comics were a funny thing, and confounded me when I was young. They seemed to be... everywhere in the late 70s, and perhaps even into the early 80s. By 'everywhere', I mean the discount stores my mother used to drag me to in the east end of Toronto. Locals will remember names like Bi-Way ...

Steve Ditko Cover of the Week: Nukla #4

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — This is from the period where Ditko artwork was popping up everywhere, including ACG and Dell. Nukla... was a short lived superhero title from Dell, and Ditko was brought in to draw the final issue, including the cover. I find the cover to be quite dynamic and nicely designed. Sal Trapani inked ... (more) Steve Ditko Cover of the Week: Nukla #4

Reprint This! Robin Hood Tales

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — Robin Hood Tales was one of the final series launched by Quality Comics in the mid-50s. The... Robin Hood character was enjoying a renaissance of sorts, and a few publishers got in on the action. Even though it only ran 6 issue, the Quality series is notable because was drawn by Matt Baker.

Single Issue Hall of Fame: Marvel Team-Up #119

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — The cover blurb states that this is the 'most moving, truly unique story of the year' and... I can't disagree with that at all. The year was 1982, and aside from the Wolverine miniseries and perhaps some particularly poignant issues of New Teen Titans , many mainstream comic book titles were just ...

Marionette Covers

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — Bob Marley once begged his lover not to treat him 'like a puppet on a string', but... that shouldn't be the case for comic book covers, as they make for an awesome design. Let's take a look at a few nice examples. An earlier version of a Marionette cover is All-Star Comics #42 (Winter 1944-45). ... (more) Marionette Covers

Can I Take 'The Road'?

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — I've been reading a lot of press about the adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road lately. I've... never been one to shy away from challenging movies, but I'm not so sure I can take this one. I read the novel over a year ago, and I'm still haunted by it. I have never had such an emotional ... (more) Can I Take 'The Road'?

Buster Bunny #11: A Pleasant Surprise

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — I must admit that I'm not the world's biggest fan of Funny Animal comics. Sure, I like... Pogo and Daffy Duck, but the vast majority of funny animal comics just don't do it for me. A few years ago, I bought a big cheap lot of beat up Golden Age books on eBay, mainly because it include a Jann of ... (more) Buster Bunny #11: A Pleasant Surprise

Add It To My Want List: DC Special Series #3

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — I've walked by this book a million times. I've always thought it was just a collection of... old Sgt. Rock stories. Great stories no doubt, but likely stuff I'd seen elsewhere as DC had the habit of reprinting the same stories over and over. Why didn't anyone tell me that this book contained an ...

Quick DVD Reviews

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — Nosferatu (1979) For our annual Halloween movie, I picked this 1979 Herzog/Kinski collaboration. I had seen it... once as a kid, and only remembered certain images - country roads, long fingernails and rats. Lots and lots of rats. I was thrilled to revisit it, and was pleasantly surprised by the ... (more) Quick DVD Reviews

Hidden Gems: DC Special #5

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — If you consider yourself to be a Joe Kubert fan, you owe if to yourself to add... a copy of DC Special #5 (December, 1969). First, you get an amazing cover: a self-portrait of the artist surrounded by many great DC characters. I love the fact that they are working away on a painting of Joe ...

Herbie - Fat & Furious this Week

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — The bills continue to pour in, and one look at my employer's financials tells me an annual... bonus isn't on the horizon so more of my books are hitting the market. That's cool - as I'll have a lot of fun tracking them down in a few years time when my finances get back in shape. This week, I'm ... (more) Herbie - Fat & Furious this Week

You've Been Warned: Strange Suspense Stories #5

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — This is a pretty link entry in an otherwise decent anthology series. The stories are adequate, if... not exactly strange or suspenseful, but it is the lacklustre art that holds it back for me. There's no Ditko, no Aparo, no Boyette etc... It is simply the Charlton house look to the point where I ... (more) You've Been Warned: Strange Suspense Stories #5

My Reading Pile: June, 1991 Pt. 2

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — I'd say that I was more of a 'DC Guy' at this stage. I'm a huge Batman... fan, and there were plenty of high quality Bat-titles to go around. Still, I am ashamed to admit that I was not reading Doom Patrol , Swamp Thing , Sandman etc... (you get the idea). Yup, I love Batman . Always have, ... (more) My Reading Pile: June, 1991 Pt. 2

My Reading Pile: June, 1991 Pt. 1

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — Mike is indeed amazing - and his DC and (now) Marvel websites are a great resources. I... thought I'd use his sites as a tool to figure out what I was reading in certain random months. June of 1991 was my final month of high school (we used to do grade 13 here in Ontario - don't ask). I would have ... (more) My Reading Pile: June, 1991 Pt. 1

Trade Marks: Nightwing - A Knight in Bludhaven

— seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com — I had always heard great things about this series, but could never find cheap copies of the... early issues (stupid speculators!). A few years back, I got my hands on this trade as part of a large TPB lot on eBay. I was thrilled to dive right in, and I have read it a second time since then. ...
