More Ninja Turtles + other strangeness
Inspired by stretchdude's posts of various Archie TMNT tidbits, I figured I'd post my favorite story from the run. Here's TMNTA issues 28-30 in condensed form.
This is the first full story arc I had of the Archie book, and it really opened up the floodgates for weird in the TMNTA universe. It was March of 1992, and I was 11 at the time. I found the story fantastic, new, and strange after reading the earlier issues, which often read like a mutant-of-the-month club. Notably, this was the story arc which introduced Ninjara who would remain a major supporting character 'till nearly the end of the book's run.
A lengthy post, but worth the read, I think. After 17 years, it's still one of my favorite comics.
( 26 pages evenly plucked from a total of 82 )

Gardner Fox, may I talk to you a moment? (and today's mystery photo)
Now, I like Gardner Fox just fine. Aside from the impressive list of classic characters he created, Fox turned out thousands of whacky, imaginative stories with complicated jigsaw-puzzle plots and great hooks to draw the reader in. His characterization and dialogue were not strong points, but adequate; sometimes he threw in a small aside that gave the characters unexpected quirks. However, decade after decade, Fox insisted on taking a small obscure scientific fact and misusing it quite cheekily in a story. He must have know most of the gimmicks he came up with couldn't conceivably work, but hey.. if they sold an issue and entertained a reader, that was enough. Here, in "Earth's Impossible Day" (from THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD# 44, November 1962), he has Katar Hol trying to pull our legs. The idea is that fulgurites -- those small tubes of fused quartz created by lightning strikes -- still somehow have some of that lightning stored in them...!
( some sweet Joe Kubert art, for sure )
Today's mystery guest is also associated with birdlike characters, and I'm sure many of you are grinning and saying, "Of COURSE I know who that is, Doc! Who do you think you're dealing with here?" In any case, it's worth it just to show everyone this chipper beaming old chap.
( an autograph? why, sure, sonny )

So how about them Incredibles...
The first issue of the Incredibles comic book, written by Mark Waid and drawn by Marcio Takara, came out this week. This was its double-page splash.
( Possibly more gross than the creative team intended. )

Italian Horror Fumetti Free Webcomic
Sulla scia del mitico Zio Tibia vi presentiamo Un brutto quarto d’Horror con il Professor Rantolo, una serie che propone con malvagia ironia il meglio dell’horror a fumetti sul web. Le brevi storie, ovviamente crudeli ed efferate, hanno come protagonisti schiere di zombies, fantasmi, vampiri, assassini e chi più ne ha più ne metta, alle prese con squartamenti, divoramenti ed atrocità di ogni genere! Un grande potenziale orrorifico messo in scena da una squadra di autori e disegnatori emergenti nata appositamente per questo progetto. Le storie presentate dal Professor Rantolo sono completamente originali e distribuite sotto forma di mini e-book a fumetti. Per dirla alla maniera dell'orrido Professore: “Tieniti pronto, caro lettore, per una sana dose d’orrore…"

Bart Allen CMV
Here is my first CMV ever. Using online pictures, the comics I have at home, and using Windows Movie Maker, I made music video that pays tribute to the fastest kid alive. To a Sonic song, "Endless Possibilities." I would include Bart's return in Legion of 3 Worlds, but I don't have it. PS: I having trouble with this multi emebed images, and the preview is really confusing, so sorry if it seems like spam.
