Michael D Hamersky On Comics Ponders...    So... JJ Abrams To Take On Star Wars Film Franchise?

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3782 -    Yesterday, my wife, Tina LoSasso, brought to my attention the news that hit earlier that day.

The news that J.J. Abrams has been named as the Director for the upcoming Star Wars VII, which is to be released in the year 2015.

So I re-posted her link from her Facebook Fan Page, Make It So Marketing, to my own Facebook Fan Page.

Tina asked me if I was going to blog on this news... But I kind of paused to think about it, as I had already blogged yesterday morning.

Yet, after thinking about this announcement, I'm kind of excited to see what he can do for Star Wars, especially after seeing the reboot Star Trek film that he directed back in 2009... Whew, has it been that long ago?!

Add to that, the fact that newest Star Trek film is slated to appear at theaters on May 17th of this year.  Titled:  Star Trek Into Darkness, I haven't blogged about that film yet, but will probably see it on the Big Screen and review blog it here.

I'm kind of interested in what JJ does with the Star Wars film franchise... And look forward hopefully to seeing him at this year's San Diego Comic Con International.

How about you?   You can post your thoughts at my Facebook Fan Page, Michael D Hamersky On Comics, where this blog will be posted!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents...    An Update On... At The Drawing Board An Ongoing Photo Album At My Facebook Fan Page!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3781 -    Last year at this time, I shared a special photo album with you here that I had started over at my Facebook Fan Page, Michael D Hamersky On Comics.

The title of the special photo album was:  'At The Drawing Board...' where I presented a photo of the cartoonist / artist, where I had found it, and a link to the special photo album.

At that time, on January 26th of 2012, in blog #3592, I had just started the photo album the week before, and mentioned that I had room for 200 photos.  

Well, as of this morning I have 175 total photos in this special album.  So there's still room for 25 more of you to be in it!

Just message me at my Facebook Fan Page, as to where you can send me a link to your photo to be added.

Oh, and be sure to check out the 175 already pictured that were... At The Drawing Board!

(Pictured above, L-R:  L.D. Warren, Jules Feiffer, and Allen Bellman.)

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents...    An Update On Martin Luther King Jr. In Comic Books

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 D Hamersky On Comics Presents...    This Day In History...   Edgar Allen Poe Was Born, January 19th of 1809!

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!
