Michael D Hamersky On Comics Mentions...       Oh Mighty Isis!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3888 -     I have obtained a full set of the Mighty Isis comic book series from National / DC Comics.  Which I have listed at my online comic book shop, ComicBooksCircus.com.

However, and I gotta admit it.... when the TV Show was first on, I didn't watch it, as I was newly married with no children.  Yet it was fun picking up these comic books that are based on that TV show...

The Secrets of Isis  was a live action television series produced by Filmation Studios in the mid-1970s that appeared on the Saturday morning cartoon lineup. It was first known as the Shazam / Isis Hour and ran for 15 episodes. Later Isis would have her own show which ran for 7 episodes, so a total of 22 original eps were made. The photo at the top left shows the DVD set that contains the full series.

The show has also aired in various countries around the world and is also known by the shorter title of 'Isis'.

The Secrets of Isis starred Joanna Cameron as Andrea Thomas, (pictured at the top right), who was a high school science teacher that found an ancient mystical amulet on an archeological dig in Egypt!  The amulet once belonged to Hatshepsut, who was an ancient Egyptian Queen and the amulet gave the wearer the powers of Isis!

So, in true heroic form, whenever Isis was needed, Andrea would reveal the amulet and incite an incantation ("Oh, mighty Isis!") and she would be transformed into the goddess Isis.... Well seriously, I didn't make this up folks!!

Anyway, for those interested in ISIS and other DC TV Superhero comic books, we have many listed in our online comic book shop, ComicBooksCircus.com!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Answers...      Just How Many 3-D Comic Books Are There?       TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3886 -    Today I'm blogging about a question that I was asked via my online comic book shop, ComicBooksCircus.com.   The question was, "How many 3-D Comic Books are there?".     Heck, I didn't know the answer to that one!   So I went to my trusted source online, Grand Comics Database, and keypunched in '3-D'.   This is the first result that I viewed. Plus one more result here.  I counted 290 different issues published.  However two titles consisted of 101 of those 290 issues that were listed.   3-D comics started in 1953 and ran until early 1954, when the 3-D Craze died.   Then again, since 1954 there have been other attempts to get 3-D going.  As seen by the fact that there are at least 134 different comic book titles with 3-D as part of the title.   I haven't read all of these 134 different titles, and haven't owned several of them.  They are actually getting harder to buy to re-sell.    If I get any of them in the future, they will be placed in my ComicBooksCircus.com, after I read them!   Be sure to keep up to date with the history of comics at my Facebook Fan Page, as well as this Blog of mine.   Good luck to you in obtaining the 3-D comic book that you are looking for!   ~ Michael       P.S. Oh, by the way... This very September of 2013 is the 60th Anniversary of the very 1st 3-D Comic Book... Three Dimension Comics #1 featuring Mighty Mouse, as seen to the bottom right of this blog!   This was a project initiated by Joe Kubert, who enlisted Norman Maurer in creating the 3-D process in comic books!   St. John comics was the publisher of this title, which lasted for three issues.  See this link for all three covers!   St. John published comic books from 1947 - 1958.    Oh, and the 3-D comic books craze was going on at the same time that the 3-D Craze was happening in movie films!   Just a little more comic book history to throw your way!   ~Michael

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Mentions The Upcoming...       2013 Leo Carrillo Film Festival!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3885 -    I called the City of Carlsbad, Leo Carrillo Ranch, for info on the upcoming 2013 Leo Carrillo Film Festival.   I did this because the current status of the web page is incomplete, as seen here.

In previous years, I have blogged about the Leo Carrillo Film Festival, as well as just walking the Leo Carrillo Ranch, as seen here.

The reason I called, is that the TGIF Concerts in the Park, also being sponsored by the City of Carlsbad, California, usually overlaps the schedule for the Leo Carrillo Film Festival.

This year it again overlaps! 

The TGIF Concerts in the Park run every Friday Night from June 28th thru August 23rd. Here is the link to that concerts schedule.

Please Note:  I have blogged about the TGIF Concert in the Park series for the past several years, as seen here.  You don't have to make a reservation to get in, and it is free to attend.  Tina and I will be attending several of these concerts, and will probably blog about them here in this Blog of mine.

As for the info on the upcoming 2013 Leo Carrillo Film Festival, here's what I was told:

The 'Dinner and a Movie' presentation is on Friday Night, August 16th.  There is a cost to this, as it is the fund raiser for the rest of the five films that will be presented this 2013 Season.

There will be a night, near the end of the season, that will honor Huell Howser, who once broadcasted from Leo Carrillo Ranch. Huell passed away in January of this year.

Probably the last night of the season, or near the end of the season, will be a special 'Cisco Kid' Night.  Leo Carrillo was 'Pancho' in the TV series.  The years we have been attending, there has been an episode shown each night before the film is shown.   So I'm looking forward to this special night!

Again, the above is not set in stone at this time.  When the schedule is printed, I'll be sure to post a copy at my Facebook Fan Page.

I just wanted to tip you all off to this upcoming 2013 Season, as once again the Leo Carrillo Ranch folks are setting a limit of only 150 attendees.  You have to 'reserve' each night and be on their list to get in to the Ranch to view the Film Festival.

Again, the link to the web site for additional info is shown here.

I hope to see some of you at the 2013 Leo Carrillo Film Festival!  For those of you that can't make it... Well, I'll be blogging on those nights for sure!

Oh, and for those of you that don't know the comic book connection with Leo Carrillo... Here's the link to the 40 Cisco Kid comic books that were published from January of 1951 to October/December of 1958!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents...     Father's Day In Comic Books!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3884 -    Well, leave it to National / DC Comics to be presented in today's blog on Father's Day!  Especially after seeing, and review blogging 'Man of Steel' yesterday after seeing it on the Big Screen!

Above are two comic book covers that although not technically 'Fathers Day' comic books, can be presented as representative in my blog!

First is Action Comics #232 cover dated September of 1957, and then at the top right is World's Finest Comics #157 cover dated May of 1966.

My youngest son is with me today, as Tina and I go down to pick up my own Dad & Mom to go to the San Diego Zoo for a few hours.  There's a new Koala exhibit my Mom wants to see.  Yeah I know, it is Father's Day... But we'll have pizza in the early afternoon at Filippi's afterwards!

Anyways, wishing all of you Dads out there reading this a 'Happy Father's Day'!

Which, BTW, didn't become official until 1972!   See this Wikipedia entry for the history of Father's Day in the USA and worldwide!
