We weren’t going to make a big fuss about it as certain people in the company are touchy about their own impending decrepitude, but since ComicMix reviewer Andrew Wheeler outed himself on his personal blog: Today is the 40th birthday of the man who hides behind the very thin mask of “G.B.H. Hornswoggler,” and it…
We here at ComicMix would like to wish the happiest of birthdays to two of our favorite people: Harlan Ellison, who despite various attempts directed at him of annihilation, assassination, bloodshed, butchery, carnage, destruction, foul play, homicide, knifing, liquidation, lynching, manslaughter, massacring, murder, shooting, stabbing, slaying, taking out, terrorism, general mayhem, and the rest of…
Ohhh my. George Takei. Captain Hikaru Sulu. Kaito Nakamura. The Warlord Shank. Announcer for the Howard Stern Show. Lok Durd in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Activist. Asteroid. And, oh yes, comic book writer. He’s 72 years old today. Long may he wave.
Really, what more need be said? Except, of course, a happy 78th birthday to William Shatner. Seventy-eight! Damn! Oh, and while we’re at it, a quick link to IDW’s Star Trek comics.
On this day in 1970, Brian Alvey was born in Falls Church, Virginia. After a misspent youth working for professional gamblers, he straightened up and started building web sites in the early days of the World Wide Web, performing back-end wizardy for everybody from Business Week and TV Guide to e-publishing pioneer BiblioBytes. Not content…
ComicMix’s production master is another year older and probably another inch taller today. Happy birthday, Glenn!
Today’s list of quick items: Happy birthday to Theodore Geisel. And happy birthday to my dad. No, my dad is not Dr. Seuss. From an article in the Guardian: "Americans already consume va stly more paper than any other country — about three times more per person than the average European, and 100 times more…
A happy birthday to the Occasional Superheroine and the President of Friends of Lulu herself, Valerie D’Orazio! (No, we’re not telling you how old she is. She is timelessly and eternally young– in other words, younger than all the principals of ComicMix. And much cuter than Mike Gold.) While we wait for Cloak and Dagger…
The Occasional Superheroine herself, Valerie D’Orazio, has an interesting thought experiment going on at her blog: Play "Fantasy DC EIC" and Redo The DCU! This is like Fantasy Baseball, but instead of pretending to play a professional sport, you pretend to be the new Editor-In-Chief of the DC Universe. You come in to the job,…
Congratulations to ComicMix alumni Michael Dinowitz and his wife Judith on the birth of their newest child, a baby boy at 3:12 PM today. Little munchkin weighed 8lb 7oz and measured 21.5 inches long. Mazel tov!
Don Heck. Today would have been his 80th birthday. I first met Don twenty-seven years ago at his house in Centereach. He and my dad frequented the same bar, the Emerald Pub. My dad knew I was a fan of his on The Flash, and thought I should meet him, and finagled an invite. It…
Happy birthday to Stan the Man! (Geez, I’m not even half his age and I don’t have half his energy. Let this be a lesson to you, kiddies– when you’re writing, stand up while you type. You’ll be in much better shape when you get older.) Excelsior from all of us true believers! May you…
