TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3780 -    I thought I would share a special photo album that I've been adding to over at my Facebook Fan Page, Michael D Hamersky On Comics.

The title of the photo album is:  Who Reads Comics or Comic Books?

Well, as you can see by the above two photos posted in this blog, Ringo Starr (of The Beatles), and Adam (Batman) West and Yvonne (Batgirl) Craig did!

Plus when checking out the link to the photo album, you'll see that the following also read comics / comic books:

Elizabeth Montgomery, Elvis Presley, Laurel & Hardy, The Three Stooges, Peter Cushing, Jorge Garcia, roy Rogers, Kirk Alyn, Humphrey Bogart, Dr. Frederic Wertham, Elizabeth Taylor, Muhammed Ali, William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy, Boris Karloff, Fishbone, Jimi Hendrix, Madonna, Paul McCartney,  Holly Golightly with Alicia Rio and Kimberly Kupps, Kirk Hammett, Joan Crawford, John Lennon, Jack Nicholson, Christopher Reeve, the Monkees, Paul Levitz, and Audrie Hepburn... Just to name a few that are pictured!

Quite an amazing amount of people read comics / comic books!

How about you?!

 

~ Michael

 An Update On Martin Luther King Jr. In Comic Books

 
 
  
 alt=

  

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3779 -    Today is the Holiday that we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s life.

Last year I blogged about what had happened on the comic book from 1956 / 1957 that is shown at the top right of this blog.  That blog is linked here.

I don't see much in the way of new comics with Martin in them or on the cover since last year on this day.

So I'm going to post a link to the comic books that Martin Luther King Jr. is featured in, (as seen here).

In addition, this is the link to the Wikipedia entry on Martin.

For the years previous to today, here is the link to my earlier blogs on Martin. 

~ Michael

 This Day In History...
 
Edgar Allen Poe Was Born,
January 19th of 1809!
 
 
  
 alt=

  

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3778 -   Wow!  On this date, January 19th, of 1809, a little over 200 years ago... Edgar Allen Poe was born!

Here is a link to his Wikipedia entry for more details on his life.

My blog is more on the comic books that have been made from his stories and books.

One of which was Dell Comics' The Raven, from the film that was produced, as shown at the top right of this blog.

I don't see any links as to a complete listing of his works that have transformed into comic books or comic book stories.

However, here is a link to where Edgar Allen Poe is listed as a 'character' in a comic book.

And here is a link to photos of 'Edgar Allen Poe' +"comic books".

It's kind of cool to realize that Edgar Allen Poe is still remembered, and in comic books to this day!  Especially after such a short life, living to be only 40 years of age!

I started this photo album back in April of 2010, and have been slowly adding more photos to it since then.

There are western comic book covers, superhero comic book covers, romance comic book covers, horror comic book covers, and other comic book genres covers in this album.

Here is the link to the photo album, as I'll be adding more pics in the weeks to follow.

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Remembers This Day In History...
 
 January 17th of 1961
 
President Eisenhower Bids Farewell
 
 
  
 alt=

  

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3776 -   I've had a project to do the past two days, which kept me from blogging...

So today, I'm going to ease back into the swing of things by blogging a little on history and the comic book connection.

This date, January 17th, back in 1961 was the date that President Dwight D Eisenhower bid farewell to the American people via a nationally televised speech.  He had served two terms as President, and three days later, he and his wife, Mamie, left Washington DC for their farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Dwight passed on March 28th of 1969.  The comic book cover shown at the top right of this blog is from the Dell Comics commemorative comic book titled: Dwight D Eisenhower, cover dated December of 1969.

Dwight was also mentioned in over 100 comic book titles, as seen in this link.

Dwight had four comic book one-shots, as seen in this link.

His bio is shown in this Wikipedia entry.

This event, his bidding farewell, is today's entry in this series of blogs. 

~ Michael
