Time To Go...

"Into The Volcano"!

"Into The Volcano" By Don Wood...

... was a pretty good graphic novel that young kids to teens can read and enjoy.

The map of the locale at the beginning of the book was helpful in figuring out where the action was happening.

Don Wood's artwork is a different style, but it went along fine with the storyline in my opinion. The coloring was very good and complemented the locale of where the story took place.

What was the graphic novel about?

While their parents are away doing research in different locations, brothers Duffy and Sumo Pugg go with their cousin, Mister Come-and-Go, to the Island Nation of Kocalaha. There they meet Aunt Lulu and become trapped in an erupting volcano.

There is a lot of action and the graphic novel layout gives the reader the feeling that they are with the brothers during the adventure.

This is a 175 page graphic novel, and for the $18.99 Cover price, it is a good read in the hardcover format.

This would be a good graphic novel for libraries to buy and place in their YA (Young Adult) Section.

A Reason To Check Out FCBD In 2009!

A Reason To Check Out

FCBD

In 2009!

If You Are A William Shatner Fan That Is!

That's right! You're not seeing things!

The above is the cover of the comic book that will be distributed FOR FREE at next year's FCBD, (Free Comic Book Day), on May 2nd 2009...

The comic is written by William Shatner, Scott Davis, David McIntee and CJ Henderson. With art by various artists, and the cover by Alan Brooks.

The comic book is being published by Bluewater Productions. Actor/novelist William Shatner is behind this production, as you can see by the logo on the cover!

Your LCBS, (local comic book store), will be providing a free 12-page original story prologue of the upcoming adaption of Shatner's best selling book series TekWar for Free Comic Book Day 2009.

The comic book will also feature a preview of the other Shatner-based comic book series Quest for Tomorrow and Man O' War as well as a sneak peek of the yet-untitled original story developed by Shatner.

So keep this in mind William Shatner fans, for something to look forward to next year...

And yeah, I still have my Tekno Comics T-Shirt from the early 1990's! That was the publisher of William's TekWar comic book series. The t-shirt has lasted a lot longer than the comic book series did, that's for sure!

For those of you that have missed previous FCBDs in the past, we have several issues available by clicking this link!

Thanks for reading this blog post today, and please join us again for more!

HoRRoR Legend

Forrest J Ackerman Dies At 92...

RIP 'Uncle' Forry... You Have Been An Inspiration For Generations

News has arrived that Forrest J Ackerman, who on November 24th celebrated his 92nd birthday, passed away 11:58 PM on December 4th, 2008.

I just recently blogged about his 92nd birthday, (click here), and the fact that he was recently featured on the cover of 'Rue Morgue' Magazine Issue #83 (click here).

Forry, who just recently celebrated the 50th Anniversary of his role in getting James Warren's magazine 'Famous Monsters Of Filmland' started in 1958, (click here), had kept busy, and indeed even had a Facebook account.

His works will live on for generations, and will continue to be appreciated. My thanks for his contributions during his lifetime....

Did You Miss Gallant Girl's Debut ?

Did You Miss Gallant Girl's Debut?

Because She's Back...

For Issue #2!

By Kat Cahill & Seth Damoose

That's right! Issue #2 of Kat Cahill's new mini-series was on sale at your local comic book stores this past Thursday, December 4th, 2008!

Recently I became Facebook Friends with Kat Cahill, who messaged me that she had her debut issue of her comic book mini-series distributed on November 12th, 2008!

And... would you believe this past Thursday was the distribution day for the 2nd issue of her 3 issue mini-series!

In case you missed my earlier blog post about issue #1, here is the background for this mini-series:

The comic book is being published through Shadowline/Image Comics. Issue number two arrives December 4th, 2008 with the final issue of the three issue mini series arriving January 14, 2009.

So what is the mini-series about?

Well, the comic book follows a young woman named Renée Tempete. She aspires to be the next 'Gallant Girl'...

'Gallant Girl' is actually a "legacy super-heroic identity" whose host is determined every ten years by pageant! Gallant Girl is the sole female member of the 'Fellowship of Freedom'.

I have not read the entire series storyline yet, so I didn't want to list more about the mini-series premise other than that!

But.... Here is where Kat Cahill's story becomes one that many would love to have happen to them: “I Hate Gallant Girl” took an unusual route to the comics stands, in that it was part of a contest that was held by Shadowline.

Shadowline asked writers to submit their concepts for consideration, and from those thousands of entries, only five were voted on by the public!

Of the five, it was a different concept that was the actual 'winner' and that concept has already been published. However, "I Hate Gallant Girl", was such a favorite runner up that it too was selected for publication!

So, here's a comic book mini-series about a super-heroine that our blog readers might want to seek out either at their LCBS, or at their favorite online store...

Let us know what you think of this storyline should you read any of the issues from the mini-series!

For those of you that are new to our blog today, we have an ongoing 'Comic Con and Pop Culture Convention' here at "Make It So Marketing Inc.", what with our daily blog posts and new listings of items for sale in our online eBay Featured Store!

Thanks for reading this blog post today, and please join us again!
