TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3371:

(Vinnie)  My dad was showing me newly published editions of Classics Illustrated by Jake Lake Productions. He told me he used to read these when he got an assignment to read a book in school to get a better understanding of the story. I have read and am review blogging on the Abraham Lincoln issue.

I enjoyed the information that this comic book gave me. It described many major events that went on in Abraham Lincoln's life from birth to death.

This included when he got married, when his sons were born, when he fought in the war, and when he became president. It also described his many occupations throughout his lifetime which were interesting.

It described many different stories thoroughly so they were easily understandable. I also liked the humor that probably wasn't intended. To quote from the story, a caption box that narrates the story stated, " He also began to grow a beard." He began to grow his beard because "A little girl wrote me that I would look nice with one. And some of my fellow politicians hinted that it would make me look more dignified." What was funny, is that right before this panel it was talking about how he was picking out his cabinet, and was doing many important things in the white house.

I also liked the art because this comic was digitally recolored. This made it look way better than the yellowed pages I normally see of the old Classics Illustrated that my Dad buys and sells. This allowed for a more enjoyable read, as well as the sharper colors. 

This comic was a biography; one of the few made by Classics Illustrated. It was kind of like a Bluewater biographical comic book, except that this was kind of a story book. It also differed as this went through his whole life instead of on the Political Power series from Bluewater Comics, telling only about their political career. 

I didn't see anything that I didn't like. It was very informative, and I wish I had this when I had to do my Abraham Lincoln report in class!

Overall, this 8th reprinting of Classics Illustrated - Abraham Lincoln, was interesting and funny. I give this comic book a Very Fine / Near Mint (VF/NM), a 9.0 out of a 10.0 grading scale.

~Vinnie

----------------------------------

Thanks, Vinnie for 'guest blogging' here today!

I'm adding the following from the 'Press Release' that followed the comic book that Vinnie didn't see and include in his blog post:

"A new biographical comic book about Abraham Lincoln is introducing readers of all ages to a forgotten side of the 16th President of the United States.

Released in December by Jack Lake Publishing, the 48 page full color graphic novel is actually a re-mastered reprint from the Classics Illustrated comic book series. The Abraham Lincoln issue of Classics Illustrated (#142) was originally published in 1958.

Scans of the original printed comic book were completely resorted and completely recoloured by Hamilton, Ontario artist Mike Gagnon.

“I’ve seen plenty of books, movies, and television shows about Abe Lincoln, but this story is packed with details that I had never heard.” said Gagnon. “It brings a whole new dimension and life to the man.”

The graphic novel itself is directly adapted from Lincoln’s own diary as well as historically documented facts. The original printing was adapted and illustrated from this historical information by Norman Nodel for the 1958 printing.

“You think you know this guy from what you’ve seen in pop culture, but there’s so much more. The guy was like a real life super-hero. He literally swung down from a ceiling once and took on an angry mob to save a man from being lynched! How many Presidents can you say that about?” Gagnon added.

Along with Lincoln’s apparent heroic streak, the book also reveals that he was an infamous practical joker, well known in his home state of Illinois as an accomplished wrestler, and many more interesting facts."

I review blogged the 3rd Edition of Issue #129 that was just printed, on Davy Crockett, as seen here.

That is where you can find more details on what Jack Lake Productions is publishing at this time.

The new editions were brought to my attention by Mike Gagnon, who was the inker / colorist for this Abraham Lincoln issue, as well as the Davy Crockett issue that I review blogged.

Here's the Creator Bio for Mike Gagnon: "

Mike Gagnon is a comics pro with over a decade of experience, as well as a wandering nomad in the frozen climes of Canada. Gagnon is best known as a writer and colorist, but has also been known to do some fine inks and cover illustrations.

Mike spends his time using one or more of his talents creating work for clients of all sizes, from Marvel to small press. When not busy with paying gigs Mike enjoys developing his own creator owned comics where he continues to hone his craft in storytelling and expand his repertoire of skills. You can see more of his work at www.mikegagnon.ca".

Mike can be proud to be associated with this publishing effort by Jack Lake Productions!  Both my son and I enjoyed reading these new editions!  

If you don't find this comic book at your local retailer... You can find these comic books for sale at the Jack Lake Productions web site.

If you would like signed copies and / or original art, then check out Mike Gagnon's web site at:  MikeGagnon.ca.

I do not see a Facebook Fan Page for the Classics Illustrated series.  However, there is a 'community page' on Facebook for Classics Illustrated., that gives a good background history, that is based on the Wikipedia entry.

My thanks to Mike Gagnon for submitting these two issues of this comic book series for possible review here in my blog.  And to Vinnie for taking the time to review blog Issue #142 on Abraham Lincoln!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3370:

I was very pleased to receive the package in the mail containing two issues of Classics Illustrated that are being reprinted by Jack Lake Productions Inc., out of Canada!

That's because Mike Gagnon had given me a 'heads up' that they would be coming, after I expressed my interest in seeing them.

I 'grew up' with Classics Illustrated, although by that time many of the earliest of the series had been reprinted several times.  By the time I obtained them, usually to give me a 'picture' of what the novel was about that I had to read for English classes, I had already read the novel in text format. I was a good reader, but sometimes the sequential illustrations in the Classics Illustrated would help make some of the language used by the original authors come more "to life" for me!

So what's with the new reprint editions?  And why should YOU possibly add these to YOUR reading list?  Well, here's part of the press release that was sent to me:

"Gagnon is breaking new ground as an inker and colorist for Classics Illustrated, published by Jack Lake Productions of Toronto. Classics Illustrated was a series of young reader friendly comics published in the 1950s and 60s that featured comic stories adapted from classic literature and true biographies of historical figures.

Today Jack Lake Productions re-masters and reprints the original Classics Illustrated comics for a new generation of readers.

“It’s amazing to be able to work on some of these books that were created by comic industry legends.” said Gagnon. “There’s a whole team of very talented artists working for JLP, each with their own individual projects, putting out some great stuff.”

Gagnon’s most recent project with Classics Illustrated is issue #129, which features the true biography of the real life frontier legend Davy Crockett. The original version was published in 1956 and illustrated by the legendary Lou Cameron. For the new versions Gagnon takes the original printed artwork and restores the black line art or “inks”, adds additional embellishments, and then creates all new colors.

“It’s crazy because some of the same books I’m restoring for a new generation of readers, I used to read when I was a kid, and they had been around for decades by then. It’s amazing the longevity this material has.” Gagnon added."

So that's the reason the comic has been reprinted.  Why YOU should think about adding  this to YOUR reading list is that I'm thinking that you would probably like to know about the persons that Classics Illustrated is having reprinted at this time for a new audience.  Plus I'm sure you also know of younger persons that would enjoy reading these, both for possible school projects, as well as getting to 'know' the characters that are being written & illstrated about!

I for one really enjoyed this issue of Davy Crockett.  Of course I was around in the mid 1950's when the Coonskin Cap Craze by Davy on the Walt Disney TV Show captured the imaginations of many 'baby boomers' such as myself!

So just to see what my youngest son would think of the 2nd issue that came in the package to me... I let him take it and read it.  I'm looking forward to seeing what he thought about issue #142 on Abraham Lincoln!  That will be published here in the near future...

The comic book sized publication has a stiff paper cover, and better paper interior pages than the original comics that were first published.

The inside front cover has an article on David Crockett, (he never called himself 'Davy'), which is continued on the back inside cover. Along with a recommended readings list. 

In addition there was a two page story titled 'The Story of Great Britain' Part 3: Saxon England, which was the third of twelve features on the hisotry of Great Britain. 

On the last interior page was a text piece on 'James Bowie', who also fought at the Alamo, which is where Davy Crockett died.

I've owned an earlier printing of this comic book, but have sold it since then.  I found that having this newly printed edition of the same comic book to be well produced, and a thing of beauty as well as more than readable!

I want to bring to your attention the inker and colorist of this newly printed edition...

Here's the Creator Bio for Mike Gagnon: "

Mike Gagnon is a comics pro with over a decade of experience, as well as a wandering nomad in the frozen climes of Canada. Gagnon is best known as a writer and colorist, but has also been known to do some fine inks and cover illustrations.

Mike spends his time using one or more of his talents creating work for clients of all sizes, from Marvel to small press. When not busy with paying gigs Mike enjoys developing his own creator owned comics where he continues to hone his craft in storytelling and expand his repertoire of skills. You can see more of his work at www.mikegagnon.ca".

Mike can be proud to be associated with this publishing effort!  

My review rating for this comic book is a NEAR MINT (NM) 9.4 out of a 10.0 possible comic book grading scale.

If you don't find this comic book at your local retailer... You can find these comic books for sale at the Jack Lake Productions web site.

If you would like signed copies and / or original art, check out Mike's web site at: MikeGagnon.ca.

I do not see a Facebook Fan Page for the Classics Illustrated series.  However, there is a 'community page' on Facebook for Classics Illustrated., that gives a good background history, that is based on the Wikipedia entry.

Again, I'm looking forward to what my youngest son thinks of the issue I gave him to read and then review blog....

My thanks to Mike Gagnon for submitting these two issues of this comic book series for possible review here in my blog!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3369:

My thanks to Roger & Val Kevan of RV's Komix, who sent me copies of the preview publication for the 2011 Phoenix Comicon!  Roger & I go way back to the early days of the Comic-Con International: San Diego, when it was first known as the San Diego Comic Con.  He, Val and I met up again recently at the 2010 Comic-Con, as seen at the top left of this blog post.

The preview publication's cover displays several characters, thus showing the reader that there are several elements that comprise the comic con.  Including DC Superheroes, Marvel Superheroes, Steampunk, Sci-Fi, and fantasy.

Checking out the inside front cover I found that several of the 100+ guests that are attending this year are from TV & Film also.  Including Leonard Nimoy, George Takei, Billy Dee Williams, Bruce Boxleitner, Adam Baldwin, Elvira, and more!

Of course there are comics guests as well, including Stan Lee, Todd McFarlane, Mark Texeira, Stan Sakai, Whilce Portacio, Michael Golden, Todd Nauck, Dan Wickline, Kirk Kushin, and Larry Hama among others mentioned on the first two pages.

Programming... You ask about programming?  Well, there's over 500+ hours of events at the upcoming Phoenix Comicon!  There were several listed in the preview publication, along with pics from previous cons.

Additionally there are a few events, including: Kids Need to Read, Geek Prom Charity Event, Charity Art Auction, Smuggler's Run, and Bounty Hunt that were listed in the publication.

The Con Hotel, Hyatt Regency, had its rates published, which seemed to be a fair amount to me to stay so close to the con center.

There was also a listing of several of the 'Con Exclusives', including Lady Death comics, Mecha Lincolnstein piece, Tyrannosaurus Rex print, etc., which always have interested parties looking to score con exclusives like those.

Avatar Press seems to be coming to Phoenix Comicon in a 'big way', with creators, exclusives, etc.

This con also has Anime & Costuming being featured. Plus gaming going on.

There will be a 'Steampunk' presence at the con, with a 'Steampunk Ball', and a 'Steampunk Fashion Show'.

Plus a couple of our favorite TV shows will be represented there by cast and creators, including those from CHUCK & EuREKA!

There seems to be a lot of different pop culture niches being covered at this show.

For those of you that attended last year, and were a little disappointed in the staging of the registration... That issue appears to be addressed for this year.  Matt Solberg has an 'open letter from the convention director' stating that the size of the Con has tripled for this year.  And that the registration problem from last year has shown the organizers a need for indoor registration lines.  So if you are in the area, check it out!

The con runs from May 26th - 29th of 2011.  Yes, that is the Memorial Day Weekend!  Full event passes $35 until May 25th.  Kids 12 & Under Free with paying adult!

The 2011 Phoenix Comicon will be held at the Phoenix Convention Center & the Hyatt Regency!

Here is the Facebook Fan Page for Phoenix Comicon.

Here is the Facebook Event Page for the 2011 Phoenix Comicon.

Here is the eBay Store for Roger & Val's RV's Komix.

Again, my thanks to Roger & Val Kevan for sending me the preview publication for this upcoming con for me to blog about it!

Above: Front Cover to the EC Comics Tribute #1 Mini-Comic from Main Enterprises!

 

 

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.

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3367:

Of course today is St. Patrick's Day!  Which is why I titled this blog post, 'Happy St. Patrick's Day Via Comic Books!

I haven't found any comic book covers that actually feature St. Patrick... But I did find a few comic book covers that feature leprechauns... which I suppose is the next best thing?!

Leprechauns have been featured almost since comic book began, but aren't found on that many comic book covers that I've noticed...

St. Patrick's Day isn't as 'popular' on comic book covers as say... Easter, or Christmas, or the 4th of July, so finding comic book covers to share here was just a little harder than you would think!

Almost every blog that even mentions St. Patrick's Day includes the Dell Four Color #426 from September / October of 1952, that featured Porky Pig with a leprechaun, as seen at the top right!

The Dell Four Color #325 with Mickey Mouse and a leprechaun form April of 1951 isn't seen so much, when mentioning St. Patrick's Day. That one is the comic book cover seen at the top left.

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.

Of course there are other comic book covers, including the HoRRoR 'Leprechaun' movie comic book series, but those are so 'different' from the comic book covers presented here today, that I'm going to 'ignore' them for this year...

I'm also 'saving' the other ones I've found for future St. Patrick's Day posts... As there really aren't all that many of them to share!

I'm dedicating this year's 'Happy St. Patrick's Day' blog post to my wife Tina LoSasso, who actually is more 'Irish' than 'Italian' even though her maiden name surname is 'Italian'!

Wishing ALL of YOU a 'Happy St. Patrick's Day', and don't forget to 'Wear the Green'!
