  Flash: The Fastest Man Alive, 1977 When I was 7 years old I really liked comic book characters and would draw them. When I am 35 years old, I talk about Ra’s Al Ghul and Anakin as exemplars of the idea that the end justifies the means with my stepsons. Questioning the wisdom of this outlook, of course. Comic books are...

  Comics, For Sale, Again Another aspect of having all my stuff back is that the Comics For Sale are actually available for Sale. Including some excellent copies of Frank Miller’s Sin City work, currently the vogue because of the film of the same name. In the past 2 months I’ve had to put some people off for a while...

  Here’s A Long Los Angeles Recap Phew. I had a great time in Los Angeles yesterday. I left at quarter of 9, and traffic started immediately. Luckily though, I was not late for the Web405 brunch at Du-Par’s. Excellent company and a lovely traditional breakfast (eggs over easy and turkey links). Good to see old colleagues and meet new friends too....

  Depression; Comic-Con Wrap Up So for the past several days I’ve been immersed in Comic-Con down at the San Diego Convention Center. I’ve been going to the Con off and on since 1985. I have some strange memories associated with the Con. I remember many years ago, when I was living in Los Angeles, and before I was working...

  Update; Comics Jennifer came over last night. Picked up some stray mail. Visited the cat. We spoke a little. No definitive word on counseling. It was emotionally draining to be around her. But luckily, I presently get support from some serendipitous places. Phone calls can be wondrous. Later, I made this (and other things) but I’m only...

  Friday’s Useless Musings I’m listening to the song Son of Mr. Green Genes by Frank Zappa from Hot Rats and it sounds glorious. On the way home from worked I visited Jenny at work, went to the comic book store. Dark Knight Returns (DK2) #3 is still not out. I’ve been waiting for it patiently since February. I...

  Supposedly… Dark Knight Returns (DK2 #3) will come out on Wednesday. I’ve talked about this before. The themes in this latest series are of media manipulation, surveillance, coercion, and of the compromises made to be part of “the establishment.” I’m looking forward to this 3rd of 3 issues.

  Lunch/Stew/Mechanical Ventilation/Dark Knight 2/San Diego Bloggers Today, no deep introspection, no thoughtful thoughts. In lieu, some quickies: – I’m going to Lunch with a big old crew of folks! Should be rockin’ cool. – Listen to Stew on KRCW [show in realaudio] – Learn something about critical care. Pay special attention to respiratory therapy and mechanical ventilation, that’s my old job!...

  Pranzo con Kynn a Filippi’s Today was unremarkable save that I had an enjoyable lunch with Kynn at local Pizza joint Filippis’s Pizza Grotto. There is no electronic substitute for good company, conversation, and food. There are not many people on the planet who I can keep up with and can keep up with me while: eating antipasto and pizza;...

  I picked up the first of three of the Dark Knight Strikes Again I picked up the first of three of the Dark Knight Strikes Again last week. It’s got a helluva start and warranted me running out. I’m eagerly anticipating #2 and #3, scheduled to come out the weeks of January 16th and February 27th of 2002. I picked it up at The Comic Gallery. The clerk...

  I blogged about an image… I blogged about an image whose subject was the airliner uprising on September 11th – and that I think it had emotional heft because that incident is something we don’t have pictures of. Looks like Neil Young has written a song about it called “Let’s Roll” — and I really want to listen to it....

  The most powerful image in Heroes a tribute and benefit The most powerful image in Heroes a tribute and benefit from Comics artists to the heroes of 9/11/2001 is by Igor Kordey and Chris Chuckry. I think Kordey put down the ink, and Chuckry the color. It’s a powerful image – a POV of the terrorists — seeing the determined, but scared passengers moving to...
