I’m going to be signing at Chuck Rozanski’s new Mile High Comics Mega-Store this Saturday. I don’t often do signings and conventions anymore, but Chuck has been a good friend for over 30 years. He asked me to help out with his Christmas Season event at his new store and I couldn’t let him down. He’s helped […]
JayJay here. Earlier today Rob commented on A Review: Captain America & Bucky #624: Jedi Knights and Harry Potter wizards are clearly superheroic. heck, the HP kids are children-who kill bad wizards. Plenty of kids look up to them. and the rest of them are “normal people” the same way Batman is lol i.e. not really. […]
JayJay recommended that I review this book because it’s been getting a lot of positive buzz online, much of it with regard to the allegedly well-portrayed romance at the core of the story.The Cover Baffling. The logo pops pretty well and is readable. It incorporates Captain America’s shield. “Captain America & Bucky” it says, which […]
JayJay here. Some of our readers have commented about the article and video about Avengers 200 and the history of Ms. Marvel, so I suggested Jim have a look. For those unfamiliar with it, here’s the link:A Video Breakdown of the Sad History of Ms. Marvel, Sex Slave And here’s what Jim had to say: […]

Photo by Eliot Brown. http://eliotrbrown.com Today is Pearl Harbor Day. “A date which will live in infamy,” said Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I’m sure it will. It also lives in the memories of Marvel staffers back in the early 1980’s as Morrie’s Day. Morrie Kuramoto, that is. It started as a joke, or rather as a […]
I think it was Joe Calamari who introduced me to Michael Winner. Winner had just acquired the rights to produce a Captain America movie. This would have been late 1984. Joe was Executive V.P. of Business Affairs and, among other things, oversaw Marvel’s efforts to get movies on the screen. He brought Winner to my office to […]
Surprising Sinnott Sometime in late 1957, when I was six, star artist/inker Joe Sinnott visited Marvel’s offices, which were then located in the Empire State Building. And he never came back! Well, not for a long time, anyway. The first time I saw Joe Sinnott was in 1975 at Phil Seuling’s Comic Art Convention, AKA […]
About Iron Man…. Steven R. Stahl made an interesting comment: Steven R. Stahl has left a new comment on your post “A Gem of a Day“: I’d be interested in an analysis of Iron Man, Mr. Shooter, mainly because I don’t think the character works well. He’s a combination of two characters: an inventor of […]
