Genius, Animated: The Cartoon Art of Alex Toth. GENIUS, ANIMATED: THE CARTOON ART OF ALEX TOTH. By Dean Mullaney and Bruce Canwell ( IDW. IDW’s Toth trilogy wraps up with a treasure trove of character designs, storyboards, and presentation pieces from the master’s years in animation, including many previously unseen works. Again, thoughts of what might have been add a melancholic tinge to the documentation of a brilliant career self-immolated by perfectionism and misanthropy. And don't call me CHIEF!

50 WORDS or LESS...: Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways
http://50words.popsgustav.com/2015/04/foo-fighters-sonic-highways_2.html
Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways. FOO FIGHTERS: SONIC HIGHWAYS. I genuinely pity the Dave Grohl-bashers whose antipathy towards the Foo frontman caused them to miss this inspiring and exuberant documentary series that’s more about the (partial) musical legacies of eight American cities than the making of a Foo Fighters album (altho’ that part’s fun, too).

50 WORDS or LESS...: Lee Daniels' The Butler
http://50words.popsgustav.com/2014/08/lee-daniels-butler.html
Lee Daniels' The Butler. LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER. A “biopic” so filled with apocryphal clichés and soap operatic overacting that it’s more fiction than fact, further tainted by head-scratchingly misguided stunt casting (John Cusack as Nixon? The civil rights struggle was handled with more depth and complexity on GOOD TIMES. How does pap like this become so venerated? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). And don't call me CHIEF!

50 WORDS or LESS...: 75 Years of Marvel: From the Golden Age to the Silver Screen
http://50words.popsgustav.com/2015/04/75-years-of-marvel-from-golden-age-to.html
75 Years of Marvel: From the Golden Age to the Silver Screen. 75 YEARS OF MARVEL: FROM THE GOLDEN AGE TO THE SILVER SCREEN. By Roy Thomas ( Taschen. Thomas’ disinterest in anything past the Bronze Age. Is palpable as a mere 50 (of 700! Pages are dedicated to a rote, staccato summary of Marvel events from 1985 to 2014 (which is fine with me, as I don’t care much either, but younger fans will). Attractive, but hardly comprehensive.

50 WORDS or LESS...: The Amazing Spider-Man 2
http://50words.popsgustav.com/2014/05/the-amazing-spider-man-2.html
The Amazing Spider-Man 2. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2. The palpable Garfield / Stone chemistry, a surprisingly moving Sally Field, and staggering effects are the best parts of this overstuffed installment, which turns SPIDER-MAN. Comics’ arguably most dramatic storyline. Into a BATMAN FOREVER. Evoking mishmash of too many villains, forced set pieces, and way too much sequel setup. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tough Guy Goods & Services: Prince Street News: Much More Fun
http://toughguygoods.blogspot.com/2014/11/prince-street-news-much-more-fun.html
Thursday, November 20, 2014. Prince Street News: Much More Fun. The new BACK ISSUE! Is a nostalgic look back (aren't they all? Of "When Comics Were Fun! Featuring a gallery by the great Fred Hembeck. One of comics' first professional fans, and a big inspiration to me and PRINCE STREET NEWS. This issue's installment mixes some lamentation with the acknowledgement that comics and the world have changed, and the stuff I loved in the 1970s probably wouldn't fly today. And that's okay. I guess.

Wednesday, July 17, 2013. Prince Street News: The Rejected Team-Ups of The Brave and the Bold. Is just on the stands, spotlighting superhero team-ups of the Bronze Age of Comics! And no discussion of that topic would be complete without a look at the bizarre, continuity-obliterating stories written by Bob Haney. For the Batman team-up comic book, THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD. Speculates as to a few of those ill-fated crossovers (and, for once, requires very little exposition! Cares not for continuity! Prince S...

http://50words.popsgustav.com/2014/04/superman-silver-age-dailies-1959-1961.html
Superman: The Silver Age Dailies 1959-1961. SUPERMAN: THE SILVER AGE DAILIES 1959-1961. Poor reproduction (due to lack of source material) only slightly detracts from this collection of newspaper strips from the Silver Age written by co-creator Jerry Siegel. Superman tackles alien filmmakers, evil paramours, conniving thugs, and the I.R.S. (as well as Lois Lane’s unending advances). Glorious, often goofy fun. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
