Should I do another thread explaining how the rebirth (and eventual taking over of the industry) of superheroes had almost nothing to do with the comics code?
96%Yeah, show ‘em
4%Enough! Shut up already

Most Rocketeer fans know that Kent Melton was a friend of Dave's and also sculpted the Rocketeer helmet for the movie. This is a Kickstarter campaign to fund a documentary about his career. kickstarter.com/projects/mar…
Is it just me or is there more talk about, and products of, Charles Schulz’s Peanuts than there has been for years? I feel like the last decade or so I rarely gave Peanuts much thought or saw them anywhere really. Kind of becoming forgotten. But now they’re everywhere, right?
I’d add that the other thing that made him unique is that they took the driest, coldest character and made him the funniest character in the show
"The character type had been present in classic SF for a couple of decades before Nimoy...."
Yes, but (as a SF fan old enough to remember) all the previous iterations of the cold, emotionless, scientific character were mad scientists, Martians, evil robots and the like.
Spock, like the Shadow, like Zorro, like the Lone Ranger is a hero who dresses and acts and looks like a bad guy -- Spock from planet "Vulcan" i.e. hell, is meant to look like a devil, so that his inhuman nature is emphasized.
By making him half-human, they gave him a promethean suffering all the audience could understand, which is why he is the only Vulcan in so many years of Trek that anyone remembers.

A father’s love for his daughter never ends, even when her time here does.
There are no words to describe the heartbreak of losing a child or the emptiness that lasts a lifetime. The years may pass, but the love, the memories, and the longing to have her here with us never fade.
If you are able, please consider making a donation to support us as we walk to honor Autumn this Saturday. These donations, no matter how small, help fund life-saving research, suicide prevention education, and support for families who know the unimaginable heartbreak of losing someone they love.
Autumn will always be my daughter, our heroic archer. She will always be loved and always be a part of everything I do.

Here’s a question, particularly for the horror fans.
What do you think of EC Comics stories vs Warren Publishing stories?
Oh man, this is a tough question. If we’re talking strictly companies, probably EC or Warren, maybe Fawcett. If we can count imprints of existing companies, I’d bring back Epic and Paradox Press, maybe return Vertigo to the more mature (but still DCU) horror line it was

So proud of my wife! ❤️🎄 Her first book, My Magical Christmas, is now on Amazon!
Inspired by her late mom, Ruby, who dreamed of writing children's books, this is more than a colouring book. It's a family dream being carried forward. 🥹📚

Anymore comics questions while I’m in my hospital bed?
I’m fine by the way. They’re adjusting my anti-arrhythmia medication and they need my heart rate consistently monitored while they do it.

Well, I’m in the hospital all day today. I guess we’ll play Ask Me Anything. So Ask Me Anything comics…or anything else really
