We did, and they did, and here we are." -- Shlomo Dybbuk "One should be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise." — F. Scott Fitzgerald

FOUR COLOR RADIO: The All-Time Classic THE LONE RANGER

Old-time radio shows and their comics connections…

Eh.

Just noting for the young and the record that before there were TV dramas, there were radio dramas.

Energized by the thrill and power of abducting Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro, Donald J. Trump said he thinks he will have the “honor” of “taking Cuba,” recalling news mogul William Randolph Hearst’s famous quote regarding an excuse to illustrator Frederic Remington to declare war on Spain over its colonies: “You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war.” I figured that if Trump is planning gunboat diplomacy, he might enjoy this rare 1960 Album de la Revolucion Cubana that I found many years ago among other international titles in a left-wing bookstore. It is no coincidence (or is it?) that baseball-loving Cuba would use trading cards to celebrate the revolution. Whether intended or not, the medium is perfect for presenting bite-sized nuggets of history and mythology.

Follow up coming just because I love this.

Marvel desperately needs a DC-style reboot or at least a massive paring of the line.

OTOH, what they’re doing now is a tribute to founder Martin Goodman.
