The Road to Amalgam Comics: A Look Back at DC and Marvel’s Mid-90s Imprint

23 April, 2023 No Comments

Amalgam Comics was a mid-90s imprint created by DC and Marvel, featuring unique characters that were a blend of two existing heroes or villains. The concept was born from the success of crossover events between the two publishers, and the resulting Amalgam characters became iconic in their own right. Dark Claw, a mashup of Batman and Wolverine, and Super-Soldier, a combination of Superman and Captain America, were among the most popular characters. Though Amalgam Comics was short-lived, its impact on the industry was significant and continues to inspire new concepts in comics today.

Alex Schomburg the Quintessential Golden Age Cover Artist

17 January, 2023 2 Comments

Alexander A. Schomburg was a Puerto Rican born commercial and comic-book artist, whose career lasted over 70 years. Stan Lee considered him to be the best cover artist in the Golden Age of comics. For the most part I feel that the only reason to collect comics from that era is only for the cover […]

BEHOLD, the Rainbow Batman: The Brave and the Bold

7 July, 2021 No Comments

Rainbow Batman: The Brave and the Bold. This is one of the many reasons to adore Batman: The Brave and the Bold. The entire series is a love letter to Golden and Silver Age stories. Even the modern content has that whimsical Silver Age lining. It’s a wonderful program, and if you haven’t seen it […]

Superman… but which Version?

5 May, 2021 No Comments

Superman… but which Version? There are two pre-existing characters that can be featured in the upcoming project produced by J.J. Abrams and penned by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The search is on for a director and it seems like Michael B. Jordan is being sought out to play the title character, Superman. As I have stated before […]

Epic Byrne: The Comic Art of John Byrne

2 May, 2021 2 Comments

Epic Byrne is my excuse to share art from my favorite artist of all time. You’ll note that I did not say “comic artist”. He is probably the reason I sampled other comics from the Fantastic Four, to Lab Rats. He is more that just an artist but also a wonderful writer. He’s a fan […]

Doll, Action Figure, or Figurine?

4 April, 2021 No Comments

How do I determine if something is a Doll, Action Figure, or Figurine? As a collector I have an easy way to label these. I am using Wonder Woman as my main example… probably because I love Wonder Woman. My Rules: A Doll is a representation of an entity that you can dress or undress. […]

Zack Snyder’s Justice League – A Few Thoughts

20 March, 2021 No Comments

Zack Snyder’s Justice League is a huge improvement on a movie that I originally liked in the first place. Being four hours, it has a lot of room to breathe along with some hefty character development. It’s an example of, like the first Wonder Woman, suits just backing away and letting the creatives do their […]

The Man of Tomorrow

17 September, 2020 No Comments

While I wasn’t keen on the design style of this animated film, I knew I was going to watch it either way. I had to preface this mini review with that statement in order to admit how very mistaken I was. I LOVE this type of animation… I just had to give it a chance […]

The New Guard: Breaking with the Status Quo

16 July, 2020 No Comments

In my history of collecting comics, I have been basically a two company man. DC and Marvel. Those two companies really held the stable of characters that I have been emotionally invested in since I can remember. As I grew, my comic tastes really didn’t, until Mirage came about and introduced the Turtles to us […]

Drawing Doc Savage, The Man of Bronze

27 June, 2020 No Comments

Inspired by a Bruce Timm piece from the Modern Masters series, this is my first attempt at drawing Doc Savage. I wanted to keep the simple lines of Timm’s style. There were places where I began to stray from the C, S curves and straight lines that I tried to limit myself to. All in […]
