Red Hulk a Cool if not Original Character PLUS the Sinister Spider

January 26, 2009

Current mood: creative When I first heard of the Red Hulk, I thought what a terrible unoriginal idea. Someone just made the Hulk, but he’s just colored red. But having read issues 1 – 6 and first storyline of the character, I must admit I like him. No one knows who the Red Hulk...

Barack Obama in Amazing Spider-Man #583

January 10, 2009

By now, you have probably heard the news. But President Barack Obama will be in Amazing Spider-Man #583 and meet Spider-Man. I think, while Marvel editor in chief Quasada said it’s non-partisan. This post is not about Obama, as much as it is about the idea of using superheroes, much less icon characters, to...

Stan Goldberg: An Unsung Hero of Marvel Comics

January 10, 2009

One of Stan Lee’s staff in the 1960′s when they were creating, what we now call “the Marvel Age of comics” was Stan Goldberg. Among Stan Goldberg’s jobs at Marvel was to be the head of the coloring department. And it makes me wonder, when the likes of Kirby, Ditko and the other talented...

Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Review

Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Review

  Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus on Amazon CLICK HERE By far the best Omnibus I think is the Amazing Spider-Man one. It’s just over 1,000 pages and the same price as the other $100 versions that have anywhere from 200 to 400 pages less. So on page count alone you are getting a bargain. I...

Look Back Uncanny X-men REVIEW issues 94-101

May 18, 2008

I’m reading the Essential Uncanny X-men Volume 1, and so far have read the Giant-Size Issue and 94-101. Basically, this is the X-men team, and series that made the mutant characters, and the X-men book popular. And X-men such as: Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Storm, Colossus, and more were introduced. Reading it, I must admit to...

May 11, 2008

Marvel Without the Big 3 (Would Not Be Number One)

May 9, 2008

I was thinking, what if there was no Marvel Comics made by the team of Stan Lee, Kirby and Ditko at Marvel? I shudder and actually could picture it! And am thankful for the Silver Age of Marvel and for the creative talent of Lee, Kirby and Ditko who it is pretty much acknowledged...

Jack Kirby and Finance History (He Did Not Have a Good Plan)

May 8, 2008

I was in the bookstore and saw the book: Kirby King of Comics by Mark Evanier. While I was there, I read some of it. It’s a great book and at $40 cover price, though you can get it cheaper online, it is worth buying. Good job by Mark Evanier, from what I read....

Spider-Man’s Creators, NOT given financial Justice

April 15, 2008

I was watching Family Guy, the Television show and the creator, a guy in his 30’s Seth MacFarlane happened to mention off-hand, how the show made him a millionaire. I for some reason, probably because I’m reading some issues now, thought about Spider-Man’s creators, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. I was thinking: Family Guy...

Who Made Marvel (Kirby or Lee ?) My View

April 14, 2008

I hear a lot of arguments about who created the Marvel Universe, was it Stan Lee or Jack Kirby who deserves all the credit? And I’ve seen passionate Kirby fans argue that: Stan Lee only did dialogue. And Kirby made all the creative ideas. Even though, it’s established fact Lee gave plot ideas in...
