I haven’t read much DC at all let alone Pre-Crisis, but Chuck Dixon turned me onto writer and editor Archie Goodwin, stating Goodwin is to him, the greatest comic writer of all time. I read some of his shorts he wrote for Steve Ditko from Creepy/Eerie, and found a book “Tales of the Batman” on […]

I want to thank author Hans Schantz for running this sale as he does every year, one of the best guys in the business and someone worth following if you don’t already. But every memorial day he runs a big sale with a TON of books in it, by authors who are good friends of […]

What Our Culture Lost After the 1940s-1950s
I’ve been reading a lot of golden age comics lately, and much like the sci-fi of the period, I find it far more refreshing to read than anything after this point. I think with the 1960s, we started to see an exit of Christian and “normal” creators from all of these fields, and an entrance […]

On Realism In Comics and Sc-Fi
The trends over the last decades have been pushing further and further into what authors love to call “realism” — but is more a dark, bleak outlook where there’s no hope.

DS9 And… Personal Property Rights?
I’m watching through Star Trek Deep Space 9 with the family and I was shocked to see an episode, “Progress” where the Bajoran government an the Federation come in to try to steal a man’s farm for “the good of the people.” The man refuses to read, and interestingly, throughout the epsiode, he’s portrayed as […]

Deep Space 9 Rewatch
One of the major influences on my wanting to do science fiction was Star Trek: Deep Space 9 (along with Babylon 5, as both were on the air simultaneously). Something about this show really upped the ante from what Star Trek was on TNG. I know part of it was Roddenberry didn’t allow any starfleet […]
