Gene Colan Art Exhibit

Posted on June 28, 2011 by Phil

Here are the five Colan pages being displayed at the store this week, through Saturday — and at the July 4 sale! — and, no, none of them are being sold….: This is from Tomb of Dracula #9, page 10; inks by Vince Colletta and words by Marv Wolfman. Evan Dorkin said last week that Colan’s art was like “dreams on paper,” and this is a good example: the hand-drawn panel borders radiating from the center; the use of … is it whiteout?… to indicate fog; the bottom image of Dracula on the ground in the shadows, weak but still … Continue reading →

Fresh Eyes on Old Books #25

Posted on June 19, 2011 by admin

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 →

Fresh Eyes on Old Books #15 by Dan!

Posted on January 30, 2011 by admin

And we’re back!  This week will be a special “dead Marvel characters” week at Fresh Eyes, so let’s see what I picked out.  Oh! Spoilers ahead, don’t forget that. Strange Tales #105 from 1962 There’s nothing quite like a book where all the main good guys and bad guys do is narrate at each other.  “I’m doing this!” “Well, I’m doing this which leads to this!”  If people actually talked like this, I think we’d all be in a much better place, free of sarcasm and snark.  The main story is all about the Human Torch in his huge battle … Continue reading →

Posted on January 15, 2011 by admin

I’m going to be completely honest with you people.  I am exhausted.  Add to that the fact that this was an especially light week and you’re gunna get the internet’s quickest, yet still strangely, awesome-est (not a word, I know) reviews! Let’s Do This! My Top Five (The 5 Best Comics of the Week) Thor the Mighty Avenger #8 Writer: Roger Langridge Artist: Chris Samnee And with this, the best comic that none of you were actually reading comes to a close.  I don’t even know what to tell you guys.  This was probably one of the best books on … Continue reading →

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #13 By Dan!

Posted on December 31, 2010 by admin

The last reviews of the New Year! Don’t forget to come to the sale!  Heck, why are you even reading this, go to the sale now! My Top Five (The Five Best Comics of the Week) Flash #8 Writer: Geoff Johns Artist: Scott Kolins Kolins is completely in his element whenever he does a Rogue profile, as can be seen in this issue.  Dealing with how the Reverse Flash came to be, Kolins is able to make every word that Johns puts on the page really come to life.  The story itself is bizarre, and sounds like an idea that … Continue reading →
