Iron Mikes
2008-02-05 16:25:00 I was reminded almost instantly after seeing the cover of this comic book of the exercise we use in the Army–a painful forward progressing deep knee bend exercise. This comic book is definitely a era book–no where but the 1980s would you find a truck driver and motorcycle story–with a guy with a headband. It is ... More About: Comics , Marvel Comics , Iron

Heroes and Dreams to be Big
2008-01-31 23:11:00 Many times when I am talking to people, whether in counseling or just talking, they will ask me how I deal with the stress that comes with my job? I think back to a time when I really felt small. There was a time in my life when I sat all alone on Friday ... More About: Dreams , Heroes , Comics

Holy Bar-Codes Batman!
2008-01-30 20:36:00 I was inspired, yesterday to consider the object on the front of every current comic book I know of right now–the bar-codes. While the inspiring piece looked at a different perspective of the bar-code, I wish to expose what it is to the face of a comic book. The bar-code is a defacing piece of garbage. Every ...

Maze of Highways
2008-01-29 00:00:00 Now this is a book worth reading. There is cheese–this series is full of it but U.S. 1 # 5 is truly alot of fun. U.S. finishes the Chicken Race from #4, only to find that he was beaten by Taryn O’Connell. To make this right, the Finger Lickin Chicken Company hold another contest ...

Electrostatic Discharge
2008-01-26 19:38:00 I didn’t intend to write about typos in this post, but it is kind of hard to miss. I went to title this post and found a major typographical error. Here you see the headline for the lead article about “Electrostatic Discharge”–you know “The Discharge of Static Electricity” when you touch somebody after rubbing your socks ... More About: Comics
Apache Chief Grows Big
2008-01-25 21:00:00 Do you remember the Superfriends series when there was a Giant Indian? I thought about him yesterday morning. He was a normal everyday Indian walking around until there was trouble. He would then speak his Indian language and grow to be enormous. What would it be like to be big? I discovered that the powers came from a potion and can ... More About: Apache , Comics , Chief
Comic Book Chicken
2008-01-22 21:00:00 The fourth issue of U.S. 1 reminds me of the WKRP Thanksgiving Episode, although it has nothing to do with Turkeys or Radio stations. However, I did sit down and remember that funny classic TV episode. This comic book is a story about U.S. 1 having a competition with Baron Von Blimp on who could transport a ...

Big as Life
2008-01-18 21:36:00 The weekend before Christmas, my wife and all three kids went on a trip to Trier, Germany. We have been there before, so we had an idea of where to park. We plugged in the GPS–the only way to travel–and followed the voice commands to our destination. We were able to quickly find a parking space, ... More About: Life , Comics , Superman
Rhyme of the Ancient Highwayman
2008-01-15 16:51:00 In the third issue of U.S. 1, the Highwayman comes to visit! He walks in, dressed as an old man, and tells the tale of this dreaded terror of the road. Unfortunately, U.S. caught up with this old man and then, as the Highwayman, he tries to kill him. Several things strike me as odd. First, if the Highwayman ...

Neither Rain, Nor Snow, Nor?Whatever
2008-01-12 08:55:00 I wait today for my Midtown Comics Order. Midtown is gracious enough to supply the tracking number on their shipment email. So I check it. Your item was processed and left our JERSEY CITY, NJ 07097 facility on January 8, 2008. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later. So here I sit…on the ...

Fisher Price Teaches Comic Art
2008-01-11 20:24:00 Over the Christmas leave, Monica and I have been spending more time on the computer at the same time (a family that blogs together stays together). Sometimes we have been working while the kids are playing on the floor. A couple of days ago, I began to introduce my daughters to the computer. I found the Fisher ...

Midnight?s Whip of Love
2008-01-08 22:00:00 For the second installment of the U.S. 1 series, we are introduced to a character called Midnight . We know nothing about her except that her whip is hypnotizing. And, by the way, she the hired gun of the Highwayman–the nemesis of U.S. That, however, is the problem–we know nothing about her. Here we are, in the second ...

The Student Factor
2008-01-05 09:11:00 One of my RSS feeds spits out data from Blog Herald. I haven’t been reading it very long–I have been reading much at all anything recently–but I trust their advise. Even more so, do I trust Lorelle VanFossen. So, I was crushed when I read her post yesterday. I was crushed because in my entire blog, ... More About: Comics , Student , Factor
Test Marketing
2008-01-03 08:40:00 Last week, Polite Dissent posted a great little analysis of the Free Comic Book Day offerings. I don’t want to steal Scott’s thunder so you can read it at his blog. The comment I want to make is that if Dr. Scott can figure out how to research the comic books in his office, why can’t ... More About: Marketing , Comics , Test
High Adventure Trucking Down the Highway
2008-01-01 16:44:00 In 1983, I came across the U.S. 1 comic book at a local Fast Fare gas and grocery store. For the next several months, I went back and picked up the next issues until I could not get them any more. Maybe I missed them, maybe they were delayed, or maybe I just could get back to ...

Elk Drug Awareness Comic
2007-12-27 17:00:00 I just finished reading the Elk Drug Awareness Video Comic with Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four. Ok. I miss the old “New Teen Titans Drug Awareness Comic Book”. But, I guess I showing my age. The internet is cheaper than paper and easier to distribute. All that somebody needs to have is the information and a ... More About: Comics , Marvel Comics
Christmas 2007
2007-12-24 13:42:00 Merry Christmas ! Thank you for reading throughout this year…it has been a big year for me and comicbookday.com. Actually, comicbookday.com is not even a year old, but my old site Newsprint and Silly Putty did well enough to merit an entire URL…so it was a big deal. So, go spend some time with family.

The Promise
2007-12-23 21:00:00 Dealing with the grief of his father’s death, Robin sets out to be a stronger hero in Robin #167. I enjoyed read this tale–not simply because I read it while I was at Grafenwoehr, Germany away from my family, but because the comic book was an excellent example of what a one shot can be. It doesn’t ... More About: Comics , Batman , Promise
Catwoman?s Name by Day
2007-12-21 17:03:00 I looked onto my stats pages to see what people are looking for on my site and someone–maybe more has been look for “Cat Woman’s Name By Day”. That would be Selina Kyle. You could get a good concise history at Wikipedia. I was disappointed to see that DC Comics offered no bio information on ... More About: Catwoman
DC Universe
2007-12-19 16:23:00 The most confusing thing about DC Comics is the DC Univers e –birthed by all of the consolidation of 40 years of comics–then spread apart again…makes life in the DC Universe really confusing. Why can’t it be simple? Why can they just find a storyline and a history and deal with it? The multi-universe makes my head ...
Comic Book Piracy
2007-12-17 15:50:00 This will get a little confusing but, hang on. In the Star and Stripes on Friday, the paper carried Andrew A. Smith’s column about Heidi MacDonald’sarticle in Publisher’s Weekly. MacDonald’s article was about the Internet and the comic industry. The part that caught my attention was “Comic Book Piracy ”. I was actually shocked at the thought, ...

Batman: Black and White
More articles from this author:2007-12-15 15:50:00 My pal over at Kastor’s Korner would be proud that I’m even think of wanting this staue, but I really do like the Black and White Batman Statue. I’ve seen it in several magazines and have been impressed. Now, to be honest, I don’t think that it is $65 nice, but it is cool. I think ... More About: Comics , Black and White 1, 2 |
