Ach, nein! Gott in himmel! And all the other phrases I learned from reading 70’s Invaders comics.

We’ve just received word that John Carbonaro passed away on February 25th at the age of 58. John was a hard-core comic fan who acquired the rights to the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents comic in 1981, which had been published in the sixties by Tower Comics. Robert J. Sodaro wrote up a long history of John and…

Yesterday, Fox consigned it to the dreaded Friday night at 9 p.m. slot and then the Los Angeles Times ran a report on continuing production delays and concerns. The show shut down production for two and a half weeks in September…
