Every Tuesday and Thursday since late 2019 yours truly here has been diligently hammering away at the keyboards with insights, rants and general ideological regurgitation of brain farts and concepts. If you already subscribe that's great! You're getting them already. But if you want to 'try it on' before buying, so to speak, then by all means read away below!
In 1961 to 1965 or so when Marvel was first getting started, who would I cast in a movie?
Here we go in this anthology with the next five stories:
What makes for a great story? It's not the subject matter...
Compiled and edited by Lynsey G and Jayel Draco
What exactly was a 'fern bar?'
It's well within the horror genre. And... there's a biker protagonist.
There are few artists who encapsulate the heart of the 'outlaw' side of the 1960s as much as David Mann.
'Bad-Ass' won't cut it by itself.
Indian Larry was a widely respected builder of custom motorcycles.
There's a real warm-glow aesthetic going on here, for the first few pages for sure.
The early 1970s saw at the aftermath of the Viet Nam War a rise in radicalism.
This is a comic where I definitely will be wanting to read more chapters to get filled in.
They keep trickling into my head.
Lots of mushrooms are key in this comic, as well as studies on garbage and refuse.
This time around it's all about getting that inked page ready for coloring.
Part 2 opens up, the cover promising a dinosaur somewhere in the story...
What was a fold in?
Author Erica Shultz obviously has an interest in the relationship of the three sisters.
Newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst loved Krazy Kat.
Three sisters who come together to solve the mysterious murder of their mother.
Screen grabs of shows I've been watching that would work out great for a comic book page.
We get a tale spun on a very well-travelled road indeed.
Archie Bunker or Marcia Brady. Which one are you?
Dylan Sharpe has an ability. He can rewind a 24 hour period and re-live it.
This book is like Quantum Leap meets Inception meets Men in Black.
How do I go about making sure their clothes (and hairstyles) are authentic looking?
Happy Hill is an overpriced Vacation Resort with a past.
Crucifix Executioner is a graphic novel that could have been a great work.
What does it look like to depict two people having a phone call conversation?
Two plumbers are sent to fix some 'bad water' issues with an ancient decrepit old house.
Dry, reverential, sober, clean. His people always stood stock straight. They lived in very neat places.
A simple story line, one based in believable circumstances. That's what I expected from Ed Brisson, and that's what I got.
My biker-related comic has strong ties with Spain's Trashman.
Stray Bullets isn't concerned with story arcs.
