Comic Book Blog browsing on a Thursday afternoon

  • David Lamham talks with Michael Lorah at Newsarama regarding his Silverfish GN. I’m really looking forward to this book. I really liked Stray Bullets material from a few yeas ago. I think this book will be just as good.
  • Image Comics has issued a Press Release on the upcoming Complete normalman. It will include every single normalman story, including all 13 issues of the original series, plus the normalman/Megaton Man crossover, the normalman 20th Anniversary Special, rarely seen convention strips, advertisements, covers, and more. It will come out in July be 432 pages, black and white trade paperback with a cover price of $19.95. I read this on Newsarama, too. You’d think that Image would post this on their site before issuing to a News Blog.
  • Joey at the Graphic Novel Review has a wonderful write-up of the recent Popeye Vol. 1: I Yam What I Yam from Fantagraphics. I don’t have this book. But I plan on getting it. Since I started collecting classic Golden Age reprint comics (DC Archives and Marvel Masterworks), I’ve been slowly getting into more and more newspaper strips. Peanuts and Dick Tracy are two other collections that you should be picking up.
  • Here’s a neat cool new Blog, DC TPB Timeline Updates. It’s a the Blog for the DC Comics Trade Paperback Timeline. Both of these sites are connected to the Collected Editions Blog, a review site that has been around for a few years now.
  • The long awaited and delayed Wonder Woman: Who is Wonder Woman? HC is up for pre-order on Amazon.com. But as always be careful when ordering books that have not been officially solicited. Especially this book.
  • Jason Rodriguez talks to Chris Arrant at Newsarama regarding Postcards: True Stories That Never Happened. I first heard about this book while listening to NPR a few months ago. Why was I listening to NPR? Your guess is as good as mine.
  • J. Caleb Mozzocco of the Every Day Is Like Wednesday Blog reviews some of the best that Top Shelf has to offer over at Newsarama. But over at his site Caleb calls for a reprint if the Golden Age Captain Marvel/Monster Society of Evil serial. I’ve been calling for a reprint of this for a few years now. Sure you can go on eBay and hunt down the Graffiti Designs one for $150-$200 if you want, but it won’t be in very good condition. I really hope DC will bring out either an Absolute or hurry up with the Shazam Archives and reprint it there.
  • One of my favorite sites, Comics Worth Reading did a review of my Podcast some eight months ago. I feel bad that I just found out about it now. Thanks, Johanna!!!
    For something a little more recent, Johanna blogs about the upcoming Dr. Fate Archives and the price that was posted on Amazon. As far as I know it’s on schedule for a June 27th release.
