Error in Marvel Masterworks Atlas Era Tales of Suspense

Filed under: Uncategorized - 27 Oct 2006


Bill from the Golden Age of Comics Podcast has informed me that there is a printing error with the brand new Marvel Masterworks Atlas Era Tales of Suspense. The Table of Contents references Tales to Astonish the previous Atlas Era volume. The ToC is correct and only the title of each comic (1-10) is in error.

It’s that spooky time of year, especially if you live in Detroit! Come on in and grab a scary book!
Tonight, I go over a few of my favorites and a few that I have yet to get, but come highly recommended. I also go over the Universal Monster DVD’s one last time including the Abbott and Costello Monster movies.
There are a few sold out Masterworks to report and two e-mails to go over as well.
So turn down the lights and curl up with a good podcast!
Boo!

How’bout them Tigers! As I say on the podcast the whole city is going nuts. Let’s hope they can win the Series!
As you know by now Absolute Long Halloween is on the way, and I talk a bit more about that.
My second podcast, the Trade Secrets Podcast will be debuting this Sunday with episode #4, find out what’s up with that.
This week DC and Marvel released their schedules for January and February and a little bit in March. Some get books from both companies caught my eye, but I’m a bit perplexed as to the Marvel Masterworks Atlas Era Heroes Volume 1 which collects among other characters, Stan Lee’s, 1950’s revival, of Captain America. I found this to be a really odd choice when Marvel has so much more to offer. To tell you the truth, my expectations are low with this book, but I hope to be proved wrong.
To help add another thread to the new Forum, The Question of the Week is back with a vengeance.
Aziz left me a voice mail regarding a Planet Hulk collected edition and Jasper helps us out with the whole Universal’s Classic Monster Legacy Collection and the 75th Anniversary Editions debate. I believe the jury has spoken. Case closed.

On the fasttrack: Absolute Long Halloween

Filed under: Uncategorized - 14 Oct 2006


Great news, everyone, Tim Sale, himself has, announced over on his Forum the Absolute Long Halloween!!!
Here is the direct quote :
Well folks, its official, there is going to be an official LONG HALLOWEEN, Absolute Edition.
It seems an incredibly long time ago that Jeph and I started work on that book, and it was many, many years before I thought to do preliminary sketches, save scraps of paper with LH scribbles on them, and certainly about a decade before there was any digital archiving of anything that we now consider “extras” when it comes to DVD or ABSOLUTE editions.
We have SOME stuff. Some FUN stuff. Don’t worry about that. But I am writing this to ask if anyone out there has Long Halloween era artwork that we might be able to use. I have much more of the Dark Victory stuff; it’s really the Long Halloween material that’s needed.
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

He goes on to say…
And yes, of course, the best thing would have been for DC to put out an Absolute edition that included Long Halloween, Dark Victory and Catwoman When In Rome — there would be tons of extra material for that, and tons of fun besides — but that’s not what’s happening, and this is a good thing, so let’s move on.
In their infinite wisdom, DC has put this on the fast track, and we have a tight deadline…

I’m sure there will be a lot of talk about this when the CGS Forums getup and running again. Stay tuned.

CCL interviewed for the fourth time!

Filed under: Uncategorized - 13 Oct 2006


A few weeks ago I was approached for an interview by a website called Bridges. It is a site designed to help students of all ages excel in education, business and life. I want to thank Greg Pratt for thinking so highly of my podcast and what I have to offer. The original interview page can only be accessed by members of the Bridges community, but I have taken liberty to convert the paper into .pdf form.

Infinite Crisis HC changes

Filed under: Uncategorized - 12 Oct 2006

Newsarama has posted all the changes that have been made to the Infinite Crisis HC. Too bad the initial series was rushed. It would have been nice to have the complete story intact as it came out in monthly form.
