Oh, well. I recently finished the 2nd of Airship 27's collection of NEW Black Bat stories. Very good. Look forward to the next one. And I look forward...

FWIW- Brain Boy is NOT a Gold Key character.

He was created for Dell Comics separate from Western, and was published by Dell after the Dell/Western split. (Western then launched Gold Key as their...

For a long time, what I heard from people was that the Mickey Dailies had the storylines, but that the Sundays were only gag strips.

But, when I went thru my various MM reprint materials, I found...

Actually, the comic strip with the highest level of continuity is probably Gasoline Alley. You can read the original strips in the collections by Drawn and Quarterly, and IDW is starting collections...

During the Golden Age of Comics, continuity was rare, but did exist.

Mention was made of the Human Torch/Submariner battles.

Before that Bill Everett had continuing stories with his earlier...

You're buying into the cr*p that Azzarello was trying to shovel.

While there are a lot of older fans, most are NOT of advanced age and dying off. A lot of pulp fans got into the...

As I seem to recall (been awhile since I read...

This story was serialized over 3-4 issues of DHP.

I basically say it as a setup for the full-length mini series, so expected a lot of stuff would NOT be explained. It was not uncommon for some...

Don't know about my Dad. I know he enjoyed reading Prince Valiant as a kid, and I loaned him my old FBI collections.

My Mom I know is a fan of Little Lulu. She read them as a kid, and I've been...

Not really.

There was a storyline toward the end of the Captain Victory series that seemed a possible wrap up of the 4th World. Captain Victory is the grandson of the Blackmass, a sort-of...

Puh-lease.

Dynamite has shown with the Shadow, the Spider, and now with the upcoming Black Bat, that they don't quite get these characters. Not as badly as DC didn't get them, but still.

We...

Yes, but its a little more complex then that.

While Argosy Communications (which is the company that obtained the rights to all the Popular Publications stuff several years back) controls and...

yeah, that's considered by most to be a psychic power.

He had no such thing in the pulps. That stuff was added to the radio version. Ennis has that, plus the nonsense of being able to see into a...

As I understand it, they aren't using the pulp Green Lama (which is still owned by the estate of Ken Crossen), but the comic book version of him (which where created and written by Crossen, but is...

This is how it is that several writers and publishers can put out Black Bat stories.

Well, its the typical style of "needing" to make the hero vulnerable, so they've show issues with his 'psychic powers' in the recent couple of issues. (which is nonsense, as he doesn't have psychic...

SIGH!

When will these people get it that we don't want their take on these characters. We don't want the "Dynamite Black Bat" or the "Moonstone Black Bat", but the original character. If you...

Why?

Barks Ducks and Gottfredson Mickeys are the best of the best when it comes to Disney.

I've been trying to do some decent reviews on Amazon to touch on what's in these collections.
