Michael D Hamersky On Comics Reviews: The People That Melt In the Rain #0 From Small Press Idol!     - Above: Mike Dubisch with 'The People That Melt In the Rain' Comic Book #0.  As seen at the recent ConDor XVIII that Mike & Carolyn Watson Dubisch attended!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3374:

I met Mike & Carolyn Watson Dubisch at the recent ConDor XVIII convention in San Diego, California.

While there, I attended panels / programs that both of them either were panelists or presented at. Carolyn is shown to the left during a Hogwarts presentation.

I also saw Mike in between panels, where he presented me with the 'Zero' issue of 'The People That Melt In The Rain', that he and Carolyn entered in the 2010 Small Press Idol (SPI) Contest.

(Long time readers of this blog will remember that I blogged a lot during the 2009 SPI Contest, on diferent entries during that year's contest.

This past year of 2010 I didn't participate as much in the SPI event.

What you are seeing at the top right photo of this blog post, is Mike holding the 'Zero' issue from the Round 4 of the SPI Contest.

What I found striking right off the bat, was the front cover.  A well laid out presentation!  The title's logo really portrays the theme of the the comic book.

The inside front cover briefly explained the idea of the Small Press Idol to those that weren't familiar with it.  Plus where you could buy copies of other comics that had made it to Round 4 with a Zero Issue.

The 'splash page' started right in with the storyline!

I found the artwork to be very 'stylistic', fitting the storyline.

Because it was a 'Zero Issue', only 12 pages of story were presented.  Page 13-17 were character illustrated bios of those characters presented in the storyline.

Page 18 was an 'exchange' art page with Danny Kelly, a 'friendly competitor' in the SPI Contest.

Page 19 was Mike Dubisch's bio with photos.

Page 20 was Carolyn Watson Dubisch's bio with photos.

Pages 21 & 22 were ads, including one for Mike Gagnon, whom I blogged about his inks / colors on the 3rd Edition of Classics Illustrated: Davy Crockett  earlier this week. Plus an ad for H-Boyz, which I blogged on earlier also. 

I also blogged about The Helm, by Jim Hardison, which had a full page ad on the back cover of this comic book, earlier also.

Back to this topic's issue now...

I found the idea to be an interesting one, and as an 'intro' zero issue, one that should 'draw' in a readership.  The character bios fleshed out the presentation.

Carolyn Watson Dubisch & Mike Dubisch should be pleased with this 'Zero Issue'. It was a good intro to their entry in the 2010 SPI Contest!

My review rating for this 'Zero Issue' is a VERY FINE / NEAR MINT (VF/NM) 9.0 out of a 10.0 possible comic book grading scale.

For those of YOU that would like to see more of this concept, please check out their Facebook Fan Page:  The People That Melt In The Rain - Small Press Idol 2010

For the web site of this project, please see:  The People That Melt In the Rain

My thanks to Mike Dubisch who presented this zero issue to me for possible review in this blog, and to both Mike & Carolyn for the great panels they either presented individually or co-presented with others at the recent ConDor XVIII. My youngest son and I enjoyed those also!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Shares A Tribute: In Memory of Elizabeth Taylor...  Liz On Comic Book Covers!     - Above Photo: Elizabeth Taylor & Montgomery Clift on the front cover of NEW ROMANCES #11, circa 1952 from Standard Comics! Top Left Photo:  Elizabeth Taylor pictured on the June / July of 1945's CALLING ALL GIRLS from Parents Magazine Press!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3373:

Yesterday morning I woke up to the news that Elizabeth Taylor had died...

During the day I started posting pics of comic book photo covers of Elizabeth that I found she had graced the cover of during her lifetime. Such as the one to the left, the April 1950 issue of GIRL COMICS, issue #3. From Atlas Comics (pre-Marvel Comics days).

The top right photo of this blog is one that I'm sharing here for the first time, New Romances #11 from Standard Comics, circa 1952.  Standard Comics was a comics publisher that believed that Movie Stars like Elizabeth Taylor & Montgomery Clift, (seen from their movie together, 'A Place In The Sun'), would sell comics.

How many comic book covers did Elizabeth Taylor grace during her lifetime?  That I don't know, but I will be adding more to the tribute album I've started on my own Facebook Fan Page, 'Michael D Hamersky On Comics', at this link, 'Elizabeth Taylor On Comic Book Covers'.

YOU are welcome to share ones I haven't posted yet at that link. When doing so, please cite the title and issue number, and year published if known.

There are many magazine covers that Elizabeth Taylor was depicted on during her lifetime, and I'm sure there will be many more now with her passing.  Since my blog niche is 'comics', I'm only posting comic book covers at that link, but may include some interior pages that Elizabeth was featured in.  There are also a few of those...

Again, this mini-project is only published as a 'Tribute' to Elizabeth Taylor.  I do NOT have any of these for sale in my online Local Comic Book Shop, (LCBS).

My condolences to the family and friends of Elizabeth Taylor.

For more on Elizabeth Taylor's life and contributions to society, please see the Wikipedia entry on her.

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Reviews: ZEROES! Series 1-E     - Above: Front Cover to ZEROES Series 1E Mini-Comic from Main Enterprises!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3372:

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 ZEROES!  SERIES #1-E all about?

Here's what the publisher has for a promo blurb:

"Another collection of the lamest heroes and villains ever assembled! Here is your introduction to Sock Finder Man and Slow Powkuss, by Jeff Austin, The Bee King, by George Leon, The Blonde Bomber and Twin, by Terry Pavlet and The Applesauce Avenger by Mike Tuz and Dan Taylor! 1.50 postpaid."

The above mentioned items are 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 has the blurb, "Collect 'em all!".

But inside you can tell that this is a parody of comic book heroes and villains trrading cards!

It's kind of funny because it is presented in such a serious way!

Good presentation in a mini-comic format!

Just what a mini-comic can present in an inexpensive format!

My Review Rating for this mini-comic is a: VERY FINE / NEAR MINT (VF/NM) 9.0 out of a possible 10.0 Comic Book Grading scale.

Retail Price $1.00 / ($1.50 when mailed)  Page count: 12 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. Including this page link for the earlier Issues in this Series!

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 On Comics Presents: Vinnie's Take On:  Classics Illustrated #142 Abraham Lincoln The 8th Edition - 2010!     - Above Photo: The Front Cover to Classics Illustrated #129 - Davy Crockett - 3rd Edition - Published 2010!  Note: “Copyright © 2011 First Classics Inc. All rights reserved. Used by permission of Jack Lake Productions Inc”.

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!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Reviews: Classics Illustrated #129 Davy Crockett The 3rd Edition - 2010!     - Above Photo: The Front Cover to Classics Illustrated #129 - Davy Crockett - 3rd Edition - Published 2010!  Note: “Copyright © 2011 First Classics Inc.

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.

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....
