Long-time Dick Tracy aficionado Joe Staton will be taking the classic Dick Tracy newspaper strip following the retirement of long-time artist Dick Locher after March 13. That’s the right man for the job. Of course, this writer made that suggestion to the newspaper syndicate 27 years ago. Joe should be admired for his patience as…
“I learned the mechanics of sex from Carl Barks. He was known as the good duck artist (for his work on Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge), but for me he was the good fuck artist.” Craig Yoe said that last night at the opening of Comics Stripped, an exhibition at the Museum of Sex in…
I had the privilege of working with Tom Ziuko on such projects as Legends, Blackhawk and The History of the DC Universe; he’s worked on everything from Superman to The Flintstones to Hellblazer, and that’s just the tip of his iceberg of credits. Tom’s work speaks for itself; if you’re not familiar with his stuff,…
Considering he’s about to lose a leg, author Michael Moorcock certainly is in good spirits. The creator of Elric, Hawkmoon, Count Brass, and Jerry Cornelius, the author of such award-winning books as Behold The Man and Gloriana, singer/songwriter for Hawkwind and the Heavy Metal movie, former editor of the British Tarzan comics, screenwriter of The…
It turns out there’s a second way for a Time Lord to regenerate. David Tennant, who played the lead in Doctor Who for five years, is engaged to actor Georgia Moffett, who played Jenny, the Doctor’s sort-of daughter, in the hit teevee series. Yes indeedy, Tennant played her “father” in that episode, The Doctor’s Daughter….
So far, sales of 3-D TVs haven’t exactly set the world on fire. Maybe… just maybe… that might change. Maybe. Our friends at Apple have told the London Daily Telegraph they’re working on new 3-D technology that would function without special glasses. Oh, and it handles holographic images as well. Apple’s patent reads: “An exceptional…
What do you get when you take one of those live action and cartoon hybrids and take out all the live action? You get Tron: Uprising. Hot on the heels of the mild success of Tron: Legacy, screenwriters Adam Horowitz and Eddie Kitsis told Box Office Magazine they’ve written a ten-part animated miniseries for television,…
I’ve seen a lot of dissatisfaction online with Joe Straczynski’s Superman storyline, the one where he ambles across the nation. Well, that’s show business; I rather like it, at least thus far. I think if JMS were to have done this story as a graphic novel, say around 120 pages, it would have gone over…
The actor who starred in such movies as Ruthless People, Sleepless in Seattle, While You Were Sleeping, Spaceballs, Casper, and, of course, Independence Day has joined the cast of the Doctor Who adult spin-off, Torchwood. Pullman will be playing Oswald Jones, a psychotic murderer and pedophile. Oddly, he’s not a nice guy, defined by the…
Do you actually drink from those collectible glasses you’ve been hoarding all these years? You might want to give that another thought. The Associated Press conducted a test on glasses featuring Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Batman, and characters from The Wizard of Oz and they discovered these collectibles exceed federal limits for lead in…
The Beatles. You’ve heard of them. Apple. The one that makes iPads, iPods, iMacs and the like. Not the one the Beatles own. Tomorrow, if everything goes as expected and the Beatles’ semi-impoverished record label EMI doesn’t change its mind (evidently they have before), Apple’s Steve Jobs is going to stand on a west coast…
According to a press release issued by Archie Comics, their newest character, Kevin Keller, is about to get his own four-issue mini-series. Riverdale’s first openly gay man, Kevin Keller debuted last month in Veronica #202, the first Archie title to sell out and go into a same-month second printing on the direct sales market. His…
