Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents...    Our Take On: The Complete Steve Canyon On TV Volume 1 DVD!   From The Milton Caniff Estate

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3827 -    At the recent WonderCon 2013, held in Anaheim, California... There was a panel titled 'The Business and Hobby of Collecting Comics', which I already blogged about, #3822.  

At that panel, one of the panelists, John Ellis, waited for someone to mention the secret phrase.   When he spoke up about it, my wife, Tina LoSasso, said 'Steve Canyon'!   Then repeated it with vigor, 'Steve Canyon'!

John gave her the copy of the DVD shown at the top right of this blog, 'The Complete Steve Canyon On TV Volume 1'.  

Afterwards, John, myself, Greg Koudoulian, another, and Tina went out to a quick bite of dinner at the Marriott bar.   There I found that John was working on Volume 3 of the DVD set, which would be the last of the 34 episodes of the 1958-59 TV Series, which ran for one season only!

This is a labor of love for John, which you can read about at his blog, SteveCanyonOnDVD at Blogspot.

The character, Steve Canyon, has its own Wikipedia entry at this link, with a section on the TV Show.

I'm going to post a couple of mini-reviews from our watching the 1st DVD this weekend. (Well, actually disc 1 of the 2 disc set in Volume 1.

First, Tina, who won the DVD, had this to say about watching the DVD: "I thought that this show was written very well for a 1950s genre TV show.  The male characters were well written, while the female characters were very stereotypical for the late 1950s.  I would give this a 7.5 (Very Fine Minus) for the episodes that we watched.

As for myself, (Michael) , I wanted to say this:   I've read Steve Canyon in the newspapers while it ran.  Up until the 1970s.  Of course I knew who Milt Caniff was.  However I had not even seen this TV show mentioned, let alone watch an episode before viewing this DVD!  I took a look at the 1958-59 TV Season schedule and saw that it was up against The Lawrence Welk Show and the Gale Storm show.  Well, we watched the Lawrence Welk show for sure, as we only had one TV set in the family, LOL!

I thought that the half hour episodes we watched were pretty darn good.  I liked the pacing of the episodes, and also seeing TV stars in their early years, including Marion Ross (later of Happy Days!), Larry Pennell (later a lead actor in Ripcord), Russell Johnson (later the Professor in Gilligan's Island), and Philip Abbott (later of the F.B.I. TV show), just to mention a few.

The DVDs covers have a cartoon Steve Canyon shaking hands with Dean Fredericks who played the character role in the TV Show, as seen in the top left photo of this blog.  Dean's Wikipedia entry can be found here.

I found this DVD set to be a fun one to watch, and was amazed at the cigarette commercials that were included, as Chesterfield King sponsored the show!   Also found the ABC lead ins for their other ABC shows to be fun to view.  Please note that the Steve Canyon show aired on NBC, and re-runs were aired on ABC.

The package the DVD set came in was very well thought out.  With liner notes for each episode, and with a note on the added extras inserted in each episode. 

I would give this DVD set a Very Fine / Very Fine Plus (VF/VF+) 8.25 out of a possible 10.0 comic book grading scale.

Here is my son Vinnie's review:

This previous Saturday night I watched the first 6 episodes of the one-season Steve Canyon tv show that originally aired back in 1958. It was a show about a man, Steve Canyon, in the United States Air Force, with episodes revolving around Steve flying jets in differing situations and circumstances. Due to the time it aired, all the episodes were filmed in black and white.

As a teenager who hasn't heard of Steve Canyon, I started viewing these episodes uninformed. I have previously heard the name "Milton Caniff" (who is the creator of the Steve Canyon comic strips which this show is based on,) but I never knew who he was or what he did. I had also never heard of the actors and actresses present on the show, however, my father was picking out a few of them and saying what they were otherwise known for or where they've appeared.

The show itself was quite an enjoyable experience. Each episode was 30 minutes of high-flying tales with their original advertisements, just how they aired.

I thought the acting was done quite well and the stories were mighty interesting. The actors portrayed the characters well, and they had developed a strong personality by the end of the episode, clearly displaying how their character acts, and how he or she interacts with each other. The stories were presented with a clear storyline. The topics were intriguing and relative to the characters and the show's intended "character".

All in all, the show was quite enjoyable, even for the difference in time from it's original airing and today. It's a shame the show only lasted for one season, a total of 34 episodes.

I would give the "Steve Canyon" dvd set a comic book grade of Very Fine Plus (VF+), an 8.5 out of 10.0 grade scale.

Thanks, Vinnie, for a comprehensive review!  It is surprising to me that he gave it such a high grade, for someone who had not read the Steve Canyon comic strip before. So it would appear that this show would be okay for all age groups to view today...

Here is the link to where you can purchase the first two DVDs of this three DVDs set.

My thanks to John for providing the DVD as a prize at the panel, and to Tina for winning it!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Mentions The Passing Of...     Carmine Infantino April 4th of 2013

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3826 -    Earlier this morning I posted a blog about the passing of George Gladir, (see blog #3825).  

A couple of hours ago I posted a note on my Facebook Fan Page about two more passings... That of Roger Ebert, and then Carmine Infantino.  And then I closed down my laptop and ran a couple of errands.

While I was driving I thought about Carmine, who was 87 years old at his passing. 

I remembered first seeing him back in 2000 at the San Diego Comic-Con International, as shown at the top right, where he autographed a few publications he was involved in.   

Carmine Infantino contributed in many ways during the years he worked in the comic book genre.

Carmine was born in 1925 and was an early freelancer in comics.

He worked for Timely Comics, Prize Comics (Joe Simon & Jack Kirby's publishing biz), drawing Charlie Chan.

He also worked for DC Comics, drawing westerns, mysteries and sci-fic stories.

It was in 1956 that he helped start the Silver Age of Comics. He drew the updated version of the Flash for Showcase #4 for DC Comics.

Later, in 1967 he became the art director for DC Comics.

In 1971 he became the Publisher of DC, and brought Jack Kirby over from Marvel to produce his Fourth World comics line there.

Carmine later stepped down from that position, and became a freelancer again, this time for Warren Publishing and Marvel Comics.

For Marvel he drew the popular Star Wars comics, Spider-Woman and Nova! 

I hadn't seen Carmine at any conventions for a while...

Here is a link to his credits in the comics industry, at the Grand Comics Database.  With almost 4300 listings!

Here is a link to his Wikipedia entry.

My condolences to his family and friends.  Plus my Thanks to Carmine for all the stories he provided during my years of reading comics.

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Is Sad To Mention The Passing Of...     George Gladir April 3rd of 2013

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3825 -    I just saw the mention of George Gladir's passing this morning...

I had last seen George at the 2012 San Diego Comic Fest, and stopped to say hi to him at his table, (as pictured above).

Although he started off as a cartoonist... George was primarily known as an Archie Comics scripter, and he co-created Sabrina the Teenage Witch along with artist Dan DeCarlo.

He actually started as a comics writer back in 1959, writing one page stories for Archie Comics.

Sabrina first appeared in  Archie's Mad House #22 (Oct. 1962).

George also wrote for 'Cracked' magazine in the early 1960s, becoming its head writer. 

During the 2007 Comic-Con Interantional in San Diego, George received the Bill Finger Award for Excellence in Comic Book Writing.

I've seen George at a few conventions over the years.  He was always a quiet guy at his table or on a panel when I saw him.  A really nice guy. 

Here is a link to his comic book credits, (almost 2,300 of them!).  Please note that many of his earliest stories are uncredited in the actual comic books.

George was in his eighties when he passed away. 

My condolences to his family and friends.

~ Michael

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents...     Girl's Eye View of WonderCon Anaheim 2013!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3823 -    Anaheim's Convention Center transformed itself into the Happiest Place on Earth for comic book fans and pop culture geeks this past weekend. For the second year in a row, WonderCon invaded Disney's backyard with 40-50,000 collectors, fans in comic book T-shirts, zombies, girls in Tardis dresses, cosplayers galore, more Anime characters than I'll ever know, and a parade of food trucks.

Folks were indeed happy. They strolled around in costume, bought comics and collectibles, took pictures of their friends and favorite cosplayers, met comic book artists and writers like Jim Steranko, Brent Anderson, and Jim Lee, asked exceedingly esoteric questions, caught movie and tv panels for entertainment like Pacific Rim, Evil Dead and Arrow and previewed new games like Capcom's Remember Me.

When they needed a break from all the fun (which was early for a lot of folks!), they hung out in the sun, listening to live music and enjoying the cosplay parade and food truck offerings.

Invariably talk turned to how different this Con is from San Diego Comic-Con (even though it's run by the same folks). For me, it seemed like half the people I talked with had never been to SDCC or hadn't gone in several years. Yet, they'd heard the horror stories about the crowds, and even "pens to the eye."

This optimistic little (by comparison) group resoundingly preferred WonderCon Anaheim to SDCC, whether they'd ever gone or not. Their hope was that WonderCon would continue to do well and stay in Anaheim. Of course, continuing to do well means more attendees.

Let's not delude ourselves, folks. As attendance rises, so will the long lines, camping, frustration and plain old pushing and shoving and mob group dynamic that categorizes today's San Diego Comic-Con. As more consumers attend, more Hollywood productions will want to get in front of them with campers-only preview panels and ginormous exhibit hall displays. The vicious cycle repeats and pretty soon, we're at Fire Marshall capacity.

Warnings aside, here's one girl's eye view of WonderCon 2013:

Exhibit hall: Unlike SDCC, organizers let attendees into the Hall early each day - sometimes by as much as 40 minutes catching many exhibiters off guard. Longest lines were for collectibles (no surprise), comic book artist signings, and Stan Lee who was signing on Saturday. Happy to see lots of comic book dealers (we bought a bunch) and plenty of room for artist alley and small press booths.

Programming: Fans had little trouble getting into panels. Lots of repeats from SDCC. A high percentage of programming for artists and writers looking to break in and break out, albeit the same number of these as at SDCC. Because there was so much less programming (than SDCC) the WonderCon industry panels seemed heavy on the schedule. Pop culture fans enjoyed a smattering of tv and movie panels with little trouble getting and no need to camp out in the sun. I enjoyed panels for Arrow, Falling Skies, The Nerdist, and CBS's new summer series Under the Dome (based on the Stephen King novel - look for my review in an upcoming blog).

Registration: Friday seemed rather crazy with fans snaking a path around the front and side of the Convention Center. But folks seemed ok with it. We were grateful to have professional passes waiting for us - a registration version of the HOV lanes we sped up to get there in the first place!

Parking: We didn't hear a lot of complaints. The weather was good unlike last year's deluge that turned the search for parking into a nightmare for all. Personally, we much prefer parking at SDCC which is pre-paid so you know you have a spot - and hopefully underneath the Convention Center so it's MUCH easier to haul out all that loot.

Hotels: we commute, but our informal survey of attendees gave the nod to Anaheim on hotel accomodations for ease of acquiring compared to the crap shoot known as SDCC hotel registration day, and on price.

What made this girl smile?

Arrow panel -- what eye candy, sans that Lex Luther lookalike exec producer!

Scott Shaw's Oddball Comics -- if you've never seen it, you must!

TV Guide's showrunner panel -- interesting for pop culture fans and a great send-off for TWD's Glen Mazzara. Props to LA bureau chief Michael Schneider for dedicating the closing question to Mazzara.

Watching Jim Lee draw and answer fans' crazy questions at the same time. Who says men can't multi-task?

The Nerdist -- I don't think Michael got any of it, but Hardwick cracked me up, fun to see him live.

Under the Dome -- looks kinda cool to me and I'm NOT a Stephen King fan, more later.

Falling Skies -- they left the major acting guns home, but the preview reel hooked us all over again.

Seeing The History Channel's Vikings for the first time -- man, those HC fans are rabid...probably doesn't hurt that the cast is so smoking!

See you next at Long Beach Comic Book Expo,

-- Tina LoSasso

Note from Michael:   I'll be posting the photos that I took at WonderCon at my Facebook Fan Page:  Michael D Hamersky On Comics!  There will be at least four photo albums uploaded, which may take a while.

Plus I will be uploading the videos that Tina and I shot as well.  Those will also be uploaded to my Facebook Fan Page, as well as at my YouTube Channel, HamerskyOnComics.
