So, remember when Liefeld was the hot trend in comic art*question mark*

[lazaruspit1]

preferred mode of transportation?

[lazaruspit1]

As a kid, comic art seemed polarized into "Kirby" or "Ditko", and all artists flowed from one stream or the other. Of course one must choose a side, except Keith Giffen who must have been a triple secret agent, jumping from one camp to the other, the bastard. I was a Kirby guy, and Ditko was underwhelming. Recently, I've come to appreciate his subtlety, and fabulous storytelling. So, if I get old enough, maybe I'll finally enjoy Don Heck and Carmine Infantino?

How success spoiled—and saved—David Bowie

[lazaruspit1]

Bowie died of embarrassment so that indie-rock could be born.

It could be said that after disappearing up his own ass, sometimes brilliantly, during the Berlin Trilogy, that the EMI Bowie was an over-correction, a fear reaction to a base that had reached their limits. Style over substance? Yeah, but wow, that guy could sing the phonebook and be poignant. I have fond memories of "Let's Dance", Richochet IS incredible. This just in: "The Next Day" is a great, great, album

Look who crashed the Wings concert! The song was "Magneto and the Titanium Man". Yes, Crimson Dynamo once again, isn't the cool kid.

Just a LITTLE more love for Bill Mantlo....

[ytrjd-deactivated20150810]

It’s no real secret that I’ve become quite the Rocket Raccoon aficionado as of…well, not LATE per-se, but within the last few years. I’m not really jumping on a bandwagon so to speak, because I had (and enjoyed) his mini-series as a kid (at least a couple of issues), and was excited when Byrne...

[lazaruspit1]

Amen. As many of our creator/heroes find themselves in need after decades of making whole universes for us, few need us as much as Bill.

[lazaruspit1]

well worth doing, thanks Greg.

[lazaruspit1]

Just some ROM love on a Saturday! Covers by Mike Golden, interiors by Sal Buscema. I wondered what had become of Bill Mantlo, and learned that he's been in perpetual care since a hit and run in the early nineties, horribly, horribly sad. Thank you Bill for a lot of fun reading for me as a kid.

[lazaruspit1]

I NEED these! After Rogers left, a young Michael Golden stepped in? wow.....

[lazaruspit1]

Remembering better days. Cancelled again. And gutted. There are still stories to tell.

Morning coffee, and some Jazz. Billy Cobham? Lays that shit down like he owns it, cause he does.
