"Lone Justice: Crash"

By Robert Tinnell & Mark Wheatley

 

A Graphic Novel Online To View For FREE!

Click Here to see our current listed Comics, Books, and Graphic Novels, some by Mark Wheatley!  Mark Wheatley, (as pictured at left), has informed me that his graphic novel, created with Robert Tinnell...  Is currently being published online for our blog readers to read for Free! 

The video at the above right of this blog post is just a short introduction to Mark & Robert's  LONE JUSTICE: CRASH!  project. Mark calls the video a "Clutch Cargo style animation for my new graphic novel"!

Mark also calls his new project "a 'sideways' sequel to our Harvey Award nominated EZ STREET".   LONE JUSTICE: CRASH! is a new graphic novel by Robert Tinnell and Mark Wheatley.  Our blog readers can read it for FREE at www.ComicMix.com right now!

I want to thank Mark Wheatley for bringing this project to my attention. Currently there are three parts published from the graphic novel online, so be sure to view them all!

I'll be sure to follow up on Mark's progress on this graphic novel and possibly blog again about this in the future. I for one like pulp action, and when it is in illustrated form, so much the better....

Anne Francis...

Topic: Comic Book History

My Archived Blog Post On

Anne Francis

 

Who Starred In

The TV Series

 'Honey West'

 

Is our most looked at blog post this afternoon... I last blogged about her on April 25th, 2008 in the following blog post (click here). Anne was then recovering from her lung cancer treatment at that time.

I just checked her web site for any updates, (www.annefrancis.net/index.html) and see that there hasn't been any web site newsletter from her since October 2008 when she wrote:

"God bless. I will write you next year".

It may be that all of the blog readers finding our blog post this afternoon are trying to find out new info on Anne and / or her health. 

I do know that search engines pick up our archived blog posts and at times those posts are at the top of search engines results and that sends us more than normal sized traffic.

At this time I know nothing more than what is on her official web site as shown above. Additionally there is currently nothing more in the current news online as I blog this...

I posted the earlier blog post that bloggers are finding, because of her connection to comic book history with the TV Show series 'Honey West'.  The comic was a one-shot publication, cover dated September 1966, as seen above at the top left of this blog post.

For those of you not old enough to know, or haven't viewed the DVD Set of the TV Series... Honey West was actually a detective heroine originally created and written by Carl and Gloria Fickling. They had a series of spoofy mystery thrillers. The book series was adapted as a television show for ABC in the mid-Sixties, with Honey played by Anne Francis.

Thanks to those that are coming to our blog to read about Anne Francis. Most mainstream readers are not aware of Anne's contribution to comic book history!

The original April 2008 post will be updated to link to this post.

Hopefully Anne Francis is still recovering and will be back to write on her web site to her fans soon.

~ Michael

ADDENDUM - JANUARY 4TH, 2011 - I just got back in from our vacation, and see that this blog post is receiving a lot of views since Sunday, when Anne Francis passed away.  At this time I'm Not planning on blogging any follow up blog, but you can read the earlier blogs I've posted about her via this link.  My condolences to her family and friends...

The First 100 Minutes?
Mood:  d'oh
Topic: Comic Books - New

 

 

Click here to see our current listings of MAD Magazines, Comics, Books, and other Pop Culture Items!

 

   

"The First 100 Minutes!"

 

As Depicted In:

Mad Magazine

#498!

Click Here to see our MAD MAGAZINES that are listed for sale   Earlier this morning, as I was having breakfast... CNN ran a feature on the above Mad Magazine cover that was on the newstands January 14th, 2009. 

I wasn't aware that this issue had come out, and at first thought I watching Fox News Channel instead of CNN!

Well, it was CNN as you can see at this web page:

www.cnn.com/video/#/video/offbeat/2009/01/27/moos.mad.obama.cnn?iref=videosearch

I then went to Mad Magazine's web site where I found this blurb about the issue that is currently on the stands:

"MAD ushers in an era of hope – with our latest hopeless issue! We pay tribute to President Obama by examining what the crowd was thinking during his inauguration – and taking a look at the first 100 minutes of his presidency! And to help ensure that 2009 is truly a great year, we're even throwing in an Al Jaffee-themed calendar! All this, plus Spy vs. Spy, What the Heck is the Difference?, the Fold-In and much more! What a country!"  

The Mad Magazine Issue #498's additional details are as follows:

MAD Magazine |  48pg.  |  Color/B&W  |  $ 4.99 US

Now here is the cool part to this blog post... You can see three interior pages from this magazine, plus a larger size photo of the cover, by downloading from this web site:

www.dccomics.com/media/excerpts/11594_x.pdf

For those of you that are on Facebook, you can join the Facebook group 'Mad Magazine' at:

www.facebook.com/pages/MAD-Magazine/22552104509


I stated above that I wasn't aware of this latest issue's cover and interior pages regarding the new president.  I also wasn't aware that Mad Magazine has announced that it is going to a quarterly print basis.

Seems like a lot of magazines are running into difficulty. If you enjoy Mad Magazine you might want to support it by purchasing an issue every now and then at least!  This magazine is soon to reach the 500th issue! 

(Please Note: A complimentary hard copy for this mention was not provided by the publisher!)

ReelArt Studios Will Be Previewing This Special Statue At The NYCC 2009!
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Comic Cons

 

 

Click here to see our current listings of Graphic Novels, Comics, Magazines, and other Pop Culture Items Including Doc Savage!

 
   

ReelArt Studios Will Be Previewing The

Doc Savage Statue

At The 2009 New York Comic Con!

Click here to see our current listings of COMIC CON Pop Culture Items!

February 6th, 7th & 8th, 2009!

Click Here to see all of our newly listed items for sale!  Michael R Hudson... President of ReelArt Studios / Sequential Pulp Comics LLC, tells me that they "will be previewing for the first time the brand new, and currently in manufacturing, Doc Savage statue as sculpted by Tony Cipriano and based on Bob Larkin art" at this NYCC.

Michael also informed me that they "will be taking pre orders on our site shortly and expect to have this shipping sometime in June".

Additionally, for pulp fans of The Shadow, Michael also stated that he was told by his sculptor, Tony, (who will also be at the show), "that he is giving it his all to have The Shadow (also) available for viewing as well. This will be an unpainted version if he is able to manage the deadline".

Michael is also "pretty sure there will be a photo op with both Bob Larkin and Tony Cipriano at the booth sometime during the show". Please check Michael's booth at the Con for that probable photo-op schedule!

You can preview the Doc Savage Statue at Booth #828, which will be located on the far left wall beside Eric Powell, with the Dark Horse free standing booth directly across from ReelArt Studios / Sequential Pulp Comics booth.

For those interested in The Doc Savage Statute; the edition size is 1000 units worldwide. The price will be $249.00  Shipping is an additional $35.00. The statue stands 19 3/4 " tall as a prototype, (possibly subject to change to 19" approx in production mold).

My understanding is that ReelArt Studios doesn't accept credit cards at shows. Their direct to customer market online is via Paypal, which means they will only be accepting cash and checks at the booth for any sales at this NYCC.

The reason I was interested in this Doc Savage Statue is the fact that Doc Savage celebrated his 75th Anniversary last year, which I blogged about a special program that was to be held at the 2008 SDCC. (Click here for that blog post.) 

Talking about programs... For those attending the NYCC 2009 and interested in panels, Michael R Hudson also told me that "Doc Savage scholar and author Will Murray and Doc Savage scholar and publisher of the new double Doc and Shadow volumes, Anthony Tollin will both be at the convention. There will be a pulp panel this year and they are both on it. I am sure they will both visit our both for photo ops".

Additionally when I asked Michael about any 'Show Specials' at this NYCC 2009, he told me the following: "For specials we are offering Wm. Stout's DinoGirl statue @ $25.00 per unit. The signed Neal Adams Going Ape statue will go for $50.00. Wm. Paquet's The Monster and The Bride busts will be offered at $30.00 per unit or as a set at $50.00. Quantities are limited on both and the deal is until we run out".  

 

For those of you that are attending this upcoming comic con, be sure to check Michael's booth #828 out for all of the goodies mentioned above!   While you are there ask him about a future production of the "Special order and limited to 30 units worldwide true bronze Doc. This will sit atop a wood and marble base with a brass nameplate attached."  (As this blog is published, the price as yet was to be determined for this future production.)  Michael's ReelArt Studios web site for additional info is: www.reelartstudios.com

 

Michael is one of several exhibitors / stars / creators that will be at this upcoming con. I've already blogged about the following that will also be attending the NYCC:

William Katt (Greatest American Hero TV Star & Comics Publisher)

Mark Texeira

Dave Simons Will Be At The NYCC 2009!
