TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3368: Jim Main of Main Enterprises sent in a few of his recent publications for possible review in this Blog. I've been blogging about several of his publications, ranging from mini-comics like this one being reviewed today, to full sized magazines, as seen in this link: Main Enterprises. So what's this EC Comics Tribute #1 all about? Here's what the publisher has for a promo blurb: "This excellently produced, 20 page, b&w, mini comic size title features illustrations that pay tribute to the late, great EC Comics company. The talents involved are Jeff Mason, JTW, Floydman, Barry Southworth, Jeff Austin, Scott Shriver, Terry Pavlet, Dave Farley, Jim Siergey and Troy Boyle. Top notch production by Dan Taylor. 2.50 postpaid." The above is exactly what is printed in this mini-comic book! It is all contained in a 4 & 1/4" x 5 & 1/2" publication. The front cover, by Robert 'Floydman' Sumner, captures the essence of the EC Glory Days. The inside front cover is a message from the Publisher, Jim Main, along with a table of contents listing the artists names and what pages they have contributed full page illustrations. Jeff Mason has the most illustrations printed in this mini-comic, with seven out of the twenty pages. His illustrations also bring back memories of what EC used to publish. Terry Pavlet's contributions on pages 5 & 12 also capture the mood of the sci-fi stories that were once published years ago. The parody covers on pages 9 & 15 are also illustrated in the style of EC Comics, but with a twist. Interesting concepts by Jim Siegey. This mini-comic is exactly what its sub title is called: "EC For Me, See?!". Other than the message from the publisher & the table of contents, there isn't any other text in the publication. My Review Rating for this mini-comic is a: VERY FINE / NEAR MINT (VF/NM) out of a possible 10.0 Comic Book Grading scale. Retail Price $1.75 / ($2.50 when mailed) Page count: 20 pages Format: mini-comic book with 1 staple, 4.25" x 5.5", black & white Teen Plus Readers (IMO.) Here is the link to the order page for this mini-comic. Please see the other page links on that order page for the additional publications from Main Enterprises. There isn't a Facebook Fan Page for Main Enterprises. There is a Closed: Limited Public Content Facebook Group Page, which I'm not listing here. My thanks to Jim Main for sending me the package of a few of the publications he currently has listed for sale. More review blogs are planned for the near future on them. ~Michael D Hamersky

Comics Creators: If you are breaking into, or already work in the comic book industry or other pop culture productions, you are welcome to email or mail us press releases, news items, and updates that you feel would be of interest to our blog readers. Including YOUR own works!
The All-American Comics #70 from January / February with Green Lantern and a leprechaun, is included here, because I really enjoyed the cover artist's, (Paul Reinman), work in later years inking Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four, and then in his own pencils for ACG Comics.
(Vinnie) This weekend, I was with my dad, and I decided I wanted to write a blog. As I was looking through the box of publications to review, the comic book "Mortifera" caught my eye. The artwork, let alone the name, seemed as though they were medieval styled. This caught my eye because I had just finished this past week, building a medieval castle with 3 classmates for a project at school. The following is my review on the comic Mortifera.
Note: Vinnie makes it to as many conventions with me as he can. He collects the 'Amazing Spider-Man' comic book series, but is open to read other titles from publishers that print titles that are age appropriate for him.

Funny thing is... That Tina & I actually 'semi-attended' the final hour of the 1st Anime Conji that was held at the Doubletree Hotel Club back on April 9th - 11th of 2010!
