The series is based on  L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City by John Buntin.  Here’s how ComingSoon describes the series…

It’s a world of glamorous movie stars, powerful studio heads, returning war heroes, a powerful and corrupt police force and an even more dangerous criminal network determined to make L.A. its West Coast base.

The New “Walking Dead” Poster

Posted on by

That’s the Alex Ross poster that will be available at Comic-Con to promote the up-coming season of AMC’s The Walking Dead.

I’m glad that the poster features art, but I’d have rather seen something from Charles Adlard or Tony Moore.  If they wanted to go with an artist not associated with The Walking Dead, then how about Steranko or Francesco Francavilla?

Bob Carter aka Sammy Terry – R.I.P.

Posted on by


I just learned that Bob Carter passed away yesterday at the age of 83.  Mr. Carter was better known to his thousands and thousands of fans as Sammy Terry.

If you grew up in the midwest (especially Indiana) in the 1960’s, odds are you couldn’t wait for each weekend to roll around and for Sammy Terry to present his unique brand of humor coupled with a monster movie or two.

From 1962 until 1989, Sammy Terry hosted Nightmare Theater [later called Shock Theater] and made personal appearances at events throughout the state.  Sammy was a big part of many kids’ childhoods, mine included.

Although I’m glad his Sammy Terry character will live on, I’m sad to report the passing of Bob Carter.

 A public memorial will be held Friday, July 5, 2013 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Singleton Mortuary, 7602 Madison Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46227.

The Walking Dead 100 Project

Posted on by

Image Comics printed blank covers for The Walking Dead #100, and the Hero Initiative commissioned 100 top artists to do an original drawing on each cover to be auctioned for charity.  You can see the results here.

Talented artists including folks like Charles Adlard, John Beatty, Chris Ivy, Casey Jones, Karl Kesel, Peter Krause, Jeff Lemire, Shawn McManus, Paolo Rivera, Alex Saviuk as well as so many other turned in awesome art for a great cause.

I posted my favorite of the 100 at the top of this post — it’s by Ken Lashley.  Ken’s a new artist to me, but one that I’ll be following.

10 Entertainment Careers Cut Short by Unsolved Mysteries is an interesting piece by Robin Warder that was recently posted over at Listverse.  While the article doesn’t discuss the deaths of George Reeves, Tupac Shakur or the Black Dahlia, the entertainers that it does cover definitely died/disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

Thanks to Bill Crider for pointing me in the right direction.
