With pick-up lines like these, something tells me Conan would have a hard time with big city women in our day and age.

The FNF salutes Bette Davis (born on this day in 1908) for her performance in as Leslie Crosbie in William Wyler’s THE LETTER (1940). Davis gives a masterful performance as a married woman claiming self-defense in the murder of a fellow Britisher on her husband’s rubber plantation in Malay. Leslie’s the epitome of the classic repressed Anglo, but underneath that veneer lies a deeply passionate nature. Davis perfectly captures this duality, managing to bring to the forefront the hypocrisy of the character while still engaging a reluctant sympathy from the audience. Davis possessed the singular ability to create ruthless women that were despicable but undeniably human, most notably in the three films she made with Wyler. This well acted and deftly directed adaption of W. Somerset Maugham’s play ultimately succeeds both as a film noir and as an incisive look at colonialism.

A Page I Love: from Daredevil #181.

Though “Last Hand” is most famous for the death of Elektra, this conversation between two convicts – Bullseye & the Punisher – is what I’ve remembered since I first read it. At first reading, it was a simple bit of expository conversation, a quiet beat before the story’s deadly momentum kicked into high gear. Go beyond first reading, though, for the elements that made it stand out for me: the setting wasn’t gothic Arkham or some super prison housing Lex Luthor; the characters *disliked* each other, when before this I’d read stories with the bad guys (or however Punisher is categorized) as teammates; and it hit on the lovely feeling of Marvel interconnectedness – “realness” even – where people just crossed paths for a moment outside of official team-ups. 

Uh oh, this longtime DC kid was starting to feel a gravitational pull toward the Other Guys.

John Severin.  

One of the all-time great comic artists.  Love his work and always wished Semper Fi could have found its audience.

The plan was to blog about this last week, but my health got in the way. Anyway, this is the sixth issue of the anthology I've been co-editing with Magnus Aspli for a few years now.

The issue is all about the weird and the grotesque (duh!) and as always, it features the work by creators you're very likely to hear more about in the future. Behind the wheel this time we got Dan Hill, Matt Horak, Brittany Peer, Pete Rogers, Gustavo Vasque, Todor Iliev and even me. The stunning cover is by Kelly Williams.

In addition to offering readers to check out all the stories for free on our site (you can read me and Todor’s yarn right here), you can buy the issue for the ultra-cheap price of a dollar on Comixology. So if you like to read your comics through the Guided View feature with the tablet of your choice in your lap, we got you covered.

Enjoy!
