Weekend Reading: Stan Lee, Comic Heroes, Gil Kane and George Tuska
Stan’s back in case you haven’t heard (he’s over at Boom!) and if you have, you’ll be happy to know there’s still a bunch of cool stuff all over the internet you might not have seen yet.
Comic Heroes: When is it a good time to launch a new magazine? Probably when most of the biggest grossing movies of the last 10 years have been based on comic books and sci-fi. John Zipperer has the news of a new magazine devoted to comic books and coming out of England from the publishers of SFX. Good news for the British - it’s coming out this month.
Stan Lee: Clifford Meth got about 2-minutes with The Man he’s known for three decades and asked some questions about the new Boom! Studios/POW! Entertainment team-up.
Neal Adams and Bruce Lee: I love Neal’s work on the various Batman comics he did back in the day. But you know what else I love? His covers for Marvel’s Deadly Hands Of Kung-Fu magazine. And so do the folks at Cyclops Central who posted a pile of butt-kickin, kung fu art by Adams that I could stare at all day.
Samm Schwartz: Jamie Weinman has a question and anybody who’s familiar with Jughead, Samm Schwartz and/or Archie Comics may want to play a game of “Who Is This Guy Next To Samm Schwartz?” I’ve already lost.
Bob Montana: Jamie Weinman (yes, him again) has another question: who got to ink Montana’s Archie comic strips? Who, indeed.
Marionettes: Some people are afraid of clowns, others are afraid of zombies. You know what gets me? Puppets, especially marionettes. Bully does this just to watch me squirm. (And that is truly the creepiest cover of The Flash, ever.)
Gil Kane: He’s got another punch this week.
George Tuska: I’m hardly the first to link to this, but if you know George Tuska only from his work on classic 1960s and 1970s Marvel and DC comics, here he is on Scorchy Smith, courtesy of Ger Apeldoorn.

The Gods of Mt. Olympus: Rod Lott at Bookgasm has his say on Olympians: Zeus: King of the Gods, one of the new graphic novels from First Second Books, written and illustrated by George O’Connor.
The Power of Spongebob: Mark Evanier went back to elementary school for a day. He wasn’t doing a Cameron Crowe thing, but he was talking about writing and drawing cartoons to a group of kids who were way more interested in him than in subjects and predicates.
Black Cat and Mary Jane: The sisters are doing it for themselves. To say more would give it all away.
Betty Cooper’s Moneymaker: All she needs is a pole to dance around and Archie will be stealing money from Veronica’s Fendi to stuff in her thong.
That’s it from the internets this week! Click away!
