Wally Wood - The Mad Cartoonists - part 8

1953 and "Mad" the comic book issue #4 gives us a real treat. A story I've read from different levels for all my 47 years. Wally Wood spoofing another genre he was a master at, the super-hero. This also hits on DC Comics' penchant for suing everyone in a union suit for ripping off Superman.

We get it all here kids, Wally Wood, Superman and Captain Marvel...it don't get much better than this.

Enjoy!

Talk to you soon.

Chapter 25 and FINAL - Captain Marvel and the Monster Society of Evil!

FANFARE PLEASE!

Here it is, after 6 months of suspense, drama and action...Captain Marvel Adventures #46 from 1945 and the 25th and final chapter of the landmark serial that introduced the nefarious Mr. Mind to Fawcett Comics readers and the world..."Captain Marvel and the Monster Society of Evil"!!!!! "The End of Mr. Mind"!!!!!!

Read on, kiddoes...you've earned it!

Well, they fried the little bugger. But somehow, just someway, I don't think The Big Red Cheese has seen the end of the evil little worm...hmmmm.

Oh to be a kid in 1945 and getting to vote on future comebacks of Mr. Mind and Captain Marvel serials.

And I sure would like to be in the CM Fan Club. Holy Moley, that'd be keen!!!

As I wrap up these weekly Captain Marvel serial posts and make the wish of starting fresh with something new and different here on this 1st of the new year and decade, I want to wish you all a happy new year and a clean slate to begin whatever your heart desires.

Big or small...just make it good.

"I Rail Against Mankind and the Ecomomy" - 2010 "Best" of My Blog

More of some examples of some of my favorite blog postings from the past year.

As we all struggle with a down-turned Economy, I blame the shortcomings and short-sightedness of the human race. As I rage, rage, rage against the dying of the light, Superman struggles to comprehend the "big picture".

From January 27th, 28th, 29th, 31st and Febrary 1st, 2010...

Continuing on my path to becoming the world's wordiest cartoonist...not to mention the most copyright-infringiest...part 3 of Superman and my discussion on the changing world economy from down at The Drink Hole: oh yeah...click images to enlarge to readable size.






Superman continues to lack foresight while Batman and Iron Man set bad examples:







Ahhhhh...justice is blind...and she works at the Drink Hole!

Jeff continues to convince Superman of his faith in humans to overcome their own troubles...

...but the humans let him down.

Oh well..there WILL BE a next time!

Talk to you soon.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Chapter 24 - Captain Marvel and the Monster Society of Evil!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

We're fast approaching the climax to our story Kiddoes!


Unfortunatly the "fische" is back...

...heralded in to a fishy member of the Society.

C.C. Becks world of monsters, talking animals and super-heroes was a truly unique one. I haven't said this in a while...but I really like these.

Fische and all.
