“George’s vision and attention to detail were unparalleled and made devout readers into fans and fans into super fanatics.” – Jim Lee Just because we knew this day was eventually coming doesn’t make it any less sad. I can’t even begin to imagine what George Perez, his wife, family and friends have gone through these […]
Legend. Pioneer. Innovator. Influencer. These are all admirable words to describe Neal Adams, but I think there is one that is all-encompassing of the man and the talent and that word is; Giant.

This week I will be starting an all new spotlight feature. Unlike before where I would pick issues based on one character I track their prices the new spotlight will be a focus on one creator. So perhaps I will call it Creators in Focus. I will pin point all the single issues and collected […]

There’s nothing quite like a superhero. And there’s no other modern film genre that’s been quite as universal, or as enduring. But just what is the eternal appeal of the superhero? Probably that despite their superhuman strength and abilities, they – like us – have vices, weaknesses, worries, things that keep them awake at night. This […]
