Bizarre Adventures #26 (1981):
Kull the Barbarian: Demon in a Silvered Glass
by Doug Moench & John Bolton
One of the single best sword & sorcery tales ever produced for comics by Marvel or any other publisher for that matter. This ranks right up there with other personal favourites like Red Nails by Roy Thomas &... -
Just another weekend in Brussels
11/17/09 08:06:04 | 0 Comments
I picked da boyz up in the afternoon and we were back in Brussels at around 4 o'clock. After squaring away our kit we went for an aperitif just up the road at our regular café; La Terrasse, which as the name suggests has a lovely heated terrace, completely walled in by a thick hedge. It has a very Parisian vibe to it. The Cinquantenaire park with its big, imposing victory arch is just around the corner and opposite is another nice pub called Carpe Diem, which my eldest boy helpfully... -
Cap in hand

I got two Chinese proverbs fer ya pal.
"You should be cursed to live in interesting times.""And."He who pays the piper, calls the tune."
How "interesting" to see Baracarama go begging cap in hand to China.
Once again, all other interests are subordinated to business interests.
Jobs now, breath later....if there is any breathable air left that is.
Get outta Beijing chum and hie thee to Copenhagen and put your money where your green mouth... -

JLA: When Worlds Collide HC
by Dwayne McDuffie, Ed Benes, Rags Morales & Various
Another good read. I'm quite impressed by Dwayne McDuffie, particularly the way he writers women. They are capable, tough and yet still distinctly feminine. He actually make me enjoy second rate characters like the Black Canary, Vixen and even... -
Things that really matter

It was nice seeing the celebrations in Berlin yesterday and seeing the resolve of the world leaders to continue to fight oppression and tyranny.
But - oh wait - where was the "leader of the free world"?
Apparently Baracarama had better things to do, like attending the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street.
Nice to see he has his priorities straight and that such a momentous occassion is getting it's due.
If it wasn't for Big Bird and the Cookie Monster, the... -
Redeeming the past
11/09/09 04:26:34 | 0 Comments
I'm not the most emotional guy but I have to admit that thinking about the momentous events of November '89 deeply moves me. There aren't that many events in history which you can point to and say the world changed for the better on that day without the use of force. Most such dates are days of infamy like September 1 1939. The world definitely changed for the better on Nov. 9 1989. What I also like so much about this date is that me it somehow represents the triumph of good over... -
Wall & Bridges
11/09/09 04:26:05 | 0 Comments
Today is the 20th anniversary of the fall of Berlin Wall. Hard to believe it's that longs ago. How well I remember the televised images of the Berliners clamouring over and onto the Wall, which immediately lost its power and became redundant. I went going crazy with a kind of panic, longing to join the revellers but unfortunately, it just seemed like an impossibility. I still regret that, 20 years later. It was so exciting and... -
Memories of Bastogne
11/09/09 03:09:58 | 0 Comments
The Gene Golan story in #600 is set in Bastogne, in the Belgian Ardennes, just after the Battle of the Bulge, which reminded me of a personal story that I will share with you all now. So you can stop reading if you haven't already done so.
In 1994, I was a reporter for the English language service of Radio Netherlands and I was working on a series of documentaries to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of WW2. One of the documentaries was about the Battle of the Bulge. I spent... -

Captain America: Road to Reborn MPE
by Ed Brubaker, Luke Ross, Butch Guice, Gene Colan & others Despite the horrible title, another nice addition to Ed Brubaker's Captain American canon. Brubaker does his reliably good job on characterization, particularly on Sharon Carter in chapter 1...
