It Came From the Back Room #25
After I wrote this — but before I posted it — we got the news that Gene Colan died on Thursday, at the age of 84. His comics career spanned almost 70 years, and he was certainly well-established at Marvel when the ten-year-old me, 45 years ago, was awestruck at his work on Daredevil and the Iron Man stories in Tales of Suspense. Add in his Dr. Strange work, his Captain America, his work on two of the best comics of the ’70s — Tomb of Dracula and Howard the Duck — his ’80s work on Batman and indie books, … Continue reading

Fresh Eyes on Old Books #25
All right folks, I just happened to grab two comics I had already read for this week’s reviews. So I’m pulling copies from my personal collection that are still available in our online store. I just wanted to let you know I’m “dubm.” If you want to read the comics I accidentally grabbed, read the Tales to Astonish and Wonder Woman comics HERE. I’m “smart.” Let’s do this! Daredevil #168 from 1981 It still counts as an old book if it’s only 7 years older than me right? This is the infamous debut of Elektra (spelled wrong on the cover … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #198
15 Love #1 (of 3) — Writer: Andi Watson; Art: Tommy Ohtsuka As the title implies, this is a comic about tennis — and, as hinted by the artist’s last name, it’s done in a very straight-ahead, clean manga style.
