Michael D Hamersky On Comics Reminds You That... Stars Of The 1988 - 1992 TV Series 'The Adventures Of Superboy' Will Be At  The Los Angeles Comic Book And Science Fiction Convention Sunday, January 15th of 2012!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3581 -  I wanted to bring this upcoming one day 'Los Angeles Comic Book And Science Fiction Convention' to my blog readers attention today.

Although Tina and I won't be attending this one day show, this is a great start for the convention to begin its 35th Anniversary!  And congrats to those that are running this show!  If Tina and I were a little closer to it, we would attend more often, especially when it has a chock full of stars line up as it does this upcoming Sunday!

I just got back in last night from another ay trip to the LA area, checking in on my great uncle Howard who is in a SNIF after recovering from two surgeries.  That and the fact that I'm attending the funeral services this Thursday for one of the co-founders of the San Diego Comic Con, (Richard Alf), is filling my already busy schedule!

But I wanted to mention that for those of you already living in the Los Angeles Metro Area, that this Sunday's lineup at the LA show is one that seems to have something for everybody!

Sam J Rizzo brought this upcoming show to my attention last month, when he sent me an 'invite' to attend the show via the setting up of a Facebook event page, 'Los Angeles Comic Book and Sci Fi Show Featuring the Cast of Superboy'.   Which, BTW, if you are a Facebook user, be sure to check it out via the link!

John Haymes Newton, (1st season Clark Kent / Superboy), Tracy Roberts (Darla), James Calvert, (TJ White), and Ilya Salkind (series producer) are among those scheduled to be attending!

Plus... As seen by the flyer at the top right of this blog post, there are other TV & Film stars from shows that are probably ones you would recognize!

Including Rex Smith, who played Daredevil in the TV Movie 'Trial of the Incredible Hulk'.

Plus Ron Ely, who played Doc Savage: Man of Bronze, and Tarzan in the 1966 NBC-TV Series.

As well as Yancy Butler of Witchblade, and Robert Dix of Forbidden Planet!

For an extra 'spiff', there is a free movie t-shirt and poster from Underworld - Awakening, while supplies last... Check the website for details.

Again, this is definitely a good start for the 35th Anniversary Year of this convention.  Congrats to those involved in keeping this show continuing!

I hope that all of you that have interest in any of these TV shows or films are able to make it there on Sunday! 

Special thanks again to Sam J Rizzo for bringing this upcoming one day show to my attention!

You are invited to check out Sam's Facebook Group Page for his Superboy Homepage!

Plus, Sam has his Superboy Homepage.com web site that can be found here.

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Is Remembering... Elvis Presley On His Birthdate January 8th 1935  --------------- Photos - (Top Photo:)  The first issue in the series titled:  The Elvis Presley Experience!  Which was published in August of 1992! (At the Top Right: First 4 photos) One of the last times I saw Elvis perform live in concert... April 25th of 1976 at the Long Beach Convention Center, Long Beach, California. The last concert I saw him at was at the Anaheim Convention Center on November 30th, 1976 before he went to Las Vegas.   (Below This Blog Header:) Michael D Hamersky back in 1973 at his first bachelor pad. Note the Elvis and other performers posters on the wall!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3580 -  Elvis Aaron Presley was born January 8th of 1935, so today would have been his 77th Birthday!

As it was last year at this time...  That I just can't fathom, as the last time I physically saw him was in concert at the Anaheim Convention Center in  California in 1976. 

I'm re-publishing a few of the photos from an earlier concert in April of 1976  at the Long Beach Convention Center at the top right of this blog post. 

I also have posted the newspaper clippings from the Anaheim concert, which can be seen in this link. That was the last concert I saw Elvis at, on November 30th of 1976.

I've also posted many comic book covers that Elvis was pictured on since 1957, but the one today that I am posting here at the top left of this blog post is the first issue of 'The Elvis Presley Experience' that was published in August of 1992.  There were seven total issues in the series, which ended with issue #7 in April of 1994, as seen in this link.  Elvis items that I am selling from my collection can be found at my online comic book shop.

Man!  Elvis at 77 years of age!  I wonder what that would have been like to see...!

I want to thank all of you that stopped in here today, to help remember Elvis Presley with me.

He, and his music, will NOT be forgotten!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Lists... His Favorite Top 20 'Comic Book Movies' List! As Of January 5th of 2012!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3579 -  Wednesday I was going to post a blog updating my Top 20 Favorite Comic Book Movies List, as I had been asked if I had updated my last list shown back on May 8th of 2009, as seen at this link.

The answer was no, I hadn't updated it... And I was about to update it on Wednesday morning, because I had been seeing a lot of 'Best of 2011' lists, etc., but I got really got tuned in to the Iowa Caucus Results from Tuesday evening. Thus the blog post on Wednesday was about 'Politics & Comics Books In 2012'!

Then on Thursday morning, I checked my email before finishing writing this blog, and found that Richard Alf, long time comic book dealer and San Diego Comic Con co-founder, had passed away Wednesday night.  Having re-acquainted myself with him at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, and seeing him at the Comic-Con since then, I wanted to bring the news of his unexpected passing to those that hadn't been lucky enough to have seen him at or since the 40th Annual San Diego Comic Con in 2009. That blog can be seen here.    

Well today, I'm finally planning on posting the 'List'.  And no... It's not a 'Best of List', nor a 'Highest Grossing Comic Book Movies List'.

Instead, it is 'My Top 20 Favorite Comic Book Movies List', updated to include 'comic book movies' since May of 2009 when I last did this.

Enough 'talk'... Here's the list:

.

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

# 1 - Captain America The First Avenger (2011) I had to raise my top comic book grade I give for comic book movies for this film after seeing it.  The best adaptation from the comic books to film that I've seen yet.  Excelsior!

# 2- Iron Man (2008) Ever since seeing the special program at the SDCC previewing the trailer and cast, I knew this would be 'right on'!  It exceeded even my expectations! 

# 3 - Spider-Man 2 (2004) This movie was done right!  'Nuff Said!

# 4 - Spider-Man 1 (2002) This was a Marvel Comics movie that set the bar for me for future comic book movies!

# 5 - Superman: The Movie (1978) Seeing this DC Comic book translated to film was a highlight, and I waited many many years for Marvel Comics to get it as right as this one!

# 6 - Superman II (1981) No One can top Christopher Reeve for me as Superman! And the villains were top-notch as well!!

# 7 - Fantastic Four 1 (2005) This I waited for decades to see this Marvel Comics group hit the Big Screen.  Even after the 1994 non-released film.  I am a bit biased here, as the FF are my favorite comic book ever because of the Stan Lee - Jack Kirby original series!

# 8 - Iron Man 2 (2010) A fun movie that took off, after the obligatory origin story in the first film!

# 9 - Spider-Man 3 (2007) Maybe just a few too many characters to watch in this film, but seeing Sandman was a dream come true! BTW, Spider-Man is NOT my favorite comic book character, the Thing of the Fantastic Four is... But these 3 Spidey Films were done right!!

#10 - Thor (2011)  A really good adaptation from the comics, but the final scene at the Rainbow Bridge was just a little too 'comic booky'.

#11 - Rocketeer (1991) This movie was Fun. I don't care what the critics said about it.  The film itself made me go back and buy the rest of the Dave Stevens comics to see what I had missed!

#12 - Men In Black I (1997) I was, and still am surprised at how many mainstream people don't know this originated as a comic book!  This one is fun to watch over & over!

#13 - Men In Black II (2002)! 

#14 - The Dark Knight  (2008) I am not a big fan of the 'grim n gritty' comics genre to watch over and over.  Once or twice is usually enough.  That being said, this film because of the villain, would be one that I would watch again...  

#15 - Green Lantern (2011) - Was surprised how much I liked it at the theater!

#16 - X-Men: First Class  (2011) - Good story, but the comic book characters chosen were not my favorites.

#17 - Daredevil (2003) Just watched this again in 2011... Still holding up!

#18 - Fantastic Four II: Surfer (2007) Sad to see that no 3rd film for a trilogy was forthcoming, but Galactus as a 'space cloud'?  Not one of Marvel's better moments...

#19 - Catwoman (2004) Yeah, it is still in my Top 20!  I can't help but watch this when flipping TV channels if I catch it!

#20 - Batman (1966)  2011 being the 45th Anniversary of the TV Show, plus the publication of 'my' book, 'Gotham City 14 Miles', catapaulted this film into my 'Top 20' this year! 

Well that's all of them now!  Out of approximately 103 different 'comic book films' that could be considered for this 'Top 20 List'.  Again, it is 'My Top 20 Favorite Comic Book Movies List'.  My choice, and yes, there are some that you may look at and shake your head...

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Is Sad  To Mention The Passing Of... Richard Alf January 26th 1952 - January 4th 2012 --------------- Photos Next Column: Top Photo - Richard Alf  Seen At Far Left (with glasses) During The First Visit To Jack Kirby's House:  From left to right: Richard Alf, Wayne Kincaid, Jack "King" Kirby, Mike Towry (in back), Dan Stewart, Bob Sourk, Barry Alfonso (in front), and Sylvia Alfonso. Picture taken on Sunday, November 9, 1969 at the Kirby-family home in Irvine, California. Bottom Photo - Photo taken at the 50th Anniversary of Comics Fandom Party at the 2011 Comic-Con International: San Diego (San Diego Comic Con). Richard Alf being presented his award by Greg Koudoulian.L-R: George Clayton Johnson, ____, Will Clausen, Richard Alf, and Greg Koudoulian .

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3578 -  I woke up this morning to see several e-mail notifications from the 'Richard Alf Get Well Page' in my inbox, just before I was starting to finish and then post today's blog that I had started last night.

I'm putting that blog aside until tomorrow, because I wanted to mention here this morning, the passing of Richard Alf last night.

Greg Koudoulian had started the Facebook group page earlier in December when Richard had first been hospitalized.  He had been 'adding' others to the page, who all wished Richard well, and shared their memories with him via the page, including myself.

Richard Alf, for those of you that don't know... Was one of those young kids that had traveled with Shelf Dorf up to Jack Kirby's house on Sunday, November 9th of 1969, as seen in the top right photo of this blog post. (Photo courtesy Shel Dorf Tribute Page.)   

Richard was one of the early comic book dealers in the nation, and by a young age had a flourishing enterprize going.  Matter of fact, as I have stated here before, I sold my own comics duplicates to Richard prior to setting up at as a comics dealer myself at the 1972 San Diego Comic Con. 

Richard and I talked about that at the 40th Anniversary Program of the SDCC at the 2009 Comic-Con International.  A while later, on Sunday, September 20, 2009  at "A Celebration of San Diego Comic-Con International At Mysterious Galaxy!", we had the opportunity to talk a little more.  Richard is shown sitting by Jackie Estrada in the photo to the left.  The event was the book signing of the special 'Comic-Con: 40 Years Of Artists, Writers, Fans & Friends' that was a Special Edition published for the SDCC by Chronicle Books of San Francisco. 

Then, just recently at the 50th Anniversary of Comics Fandom, we met once again, as seen at first inset photo in this blog body of text.

Although my time with Richard was limited during these events, I found him to always be smiling, friendly and outgoing.  The recent outpouring of well wishes sent to Richard via the Facebook Page showed that he treated many others the same way.

Richard had been the receipient of an Inkpot Award in 1989.  I'm not sure what other 'official' recognition he received during the years, other than from those that knew him. He did receive a special award at the 50th Anniversary of Comics Fandom, as seen at the top right of this blog post. For other pictures that Richard was in, here is the link to the album of photos I have uploaded thus far.

RIP Richard, your efforts to help start what is now known as the Comic-Con International:  San Diego will be remembered, as well as your comic book store, 'Comic Kingdom', one of the first LCBS in the San Diego area (along with the Schanes Brothers' Pacific Comics LCBS.

Mike Towry has posted this on the Facebook page: "Richard passed away tonight in peace at the home of a friend and surrounded by friends. There will be a memorial service for him probably around the middle of next week in Ramona, CA, which is about thirty miles from San Diego. I'm sure the details will be posted here as they become available, but people can also check early next week with Bonham Bros & Stewart Mortuary and Cremation Service in Ramona by calling (760) 789-1678."

My condolences to his family and friends...

POLITICS AND COMIC BOOKS IN 2012!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3577 - I arrived home last night after a day trip to the Los Angeles Metro Area checking on my Great Uncle Howard, who is recovering in a rehab center after two recent surgeries during the Holiday Season.

Six o'clock PM PST was when I was able to settle in and catch the updates of the Iowa Caucus Results for the GOP campaign.  Yes, I know, I don't usually blog about politics here in this Blog, but after last night I just had to!

That's because ever since my wife, Tina LoSasso, turned me into a political junkie, I've been watching all three major cable networks for the way they present / "distort" / interpret the 'news'.  I'm still not going to go into the political aspects here in my blog, without having a comic book connection...

But first, let me tell you, I stayed up until 11:34 PM when the GOP official proclaimed that Mitt Romney had won the Iowa Caucuses by 8 votes, (still seems to me and Tina it should had been the 14 votes that both Carl Rove at FOX, and John King at CNN (pictured above top left of this blog with the math solution), told us about.

This to me was an exciting results night... Not all of them have been in years past, but this one kept me up past my usual bedtime!  It was that good even after 5+ hours of driving yesterday up and back to the LA Metro Area!

So where's the comic book connection I mentioned in this blog's title?  

Well, I have already review blogged several 'Female Force' comics from  Bluewater Productions in the past, along with a couple of 'Political Power' comics books from the same company, as seen in this link that has over 260 Google results from other picking up my blog posts and linking them.

Actually the “Political Power” series was launched backed in 2009 as a companion series to the successful Female Force” and “Fame” biography titles by Bluewater. The comic book series allows those comics creators working on each comic book to delve into the background history of  'newsworthy' politicians and political movements and understand how that person or 'movement; has achieved their 'newsworthiness'.

I was thinking when I first woke up this morning, still going over the results from late last night, that I would post a couple of pics from the Cable TV Programs and then some pics of old promotional comic books with 'newsworthy' politicians of those times, (probably 'Ike' /. 'Nixon' / 'Goldwater' / 'JFK').  But after checking out what Bluewater Productions has recently published, and their plans for 2012 issues, I just had to use the comic book covers of Mitt Romney & Ron Paul.   And No... there wasn't any announced, (that I could see), for Rick Santorum in earlier PRs!   That may be different now, after the results last night!

So, for those of you that are into politics and / or comic books, you might want to check out the comic books with a political figure that have been or are being published by Bluewater Productions!

"Poitical Power: Ron Paul” (ISBN 978-1-4507-8965-3) should hit comic book stores in February 2012 and sells for $3.99. This comic book is currently available for pre-order sales on AMAZON .

The “Political Power: Michelle Bachman “comic book is already out via the Nook & Kindle. Which can also be found at:  AMAZON.

The “Political Power: Mitt Romney” as shown in the top right of this blog's header,  will be also published in January. Again, you can check this out further at AMAZON.

The “Political Power: Rick Perry” was scheduled to be published  in February. After his concession speech last night, that might be changing?  Again, check this link at AMAZON.

As for a "Political Power:  Rick Santorum", who was in a virtual dead heat with Romney last night... Well, until this past week his campaign had not caught traction.  So while there probably wasn't one planned right away... You can figure that if he has the staying power after this big surge yesterday... A 'Political Power: RickSantorum' would be published soon.

That's about it for this morning... As I have a lot of comics to pull  & invoice from auction listings that ended yesterday at my online comic book shop, from 11:30 AM to the early evening.  I still have over 1,600 more auction listings that will be ending during my year end clearance sale through Thursday, January 5th.  And yes, there a few of the Bluewater Comics listed there also, if they haven't already sold!
