…Die Hard meets Kill Bill meets 3000 Miles to Graceland.

If that’s not enough to get you interested, then perhaps Syfywire’s coverage with more of Pepose’s discussion of the series, character sheets by Maan House (who also created the cover above) plus preview pages by Gavin Guidry.

Posted on by

Joshua Greathouse has a new art book featuring covers, sketches, paintings and a preview of his next series Unprofessional coming out.  Enlightenment is now on Kickstarter.

If you click over to give it a look, you’ll get a glimpse of the Get Carter piece that Greathouse did for me.  I’d think that for many readers of this site, the Stallone art would be enough to support Josh’s Kickstarter.  ; )

Rarely Seen “Conquest” Written and Drawn by Mike Zeck!

Posted on by


One of the great things about the internet is that you never know what will turn up.  Today we have a splash page from a very rarely seen story written and drawn by Mike Zeck.  The Sub-Mariner story, Conquest, appeared in the 1976 Omnicon Convention Program book.

I remember when I first read Conquest  back in the late 70’s, thanks to my best bud, John Beatty.  Mike’s story, in just 3 pages, perfectly captured the strength, power, majesty and mindset of Prince Namor.

Click over to The Bristol Board and check out Prince Namor, The Sub-Mariner in Conquest written and drawn by Mike Zeck!

Snake Plissken: The Made & Unmade Movies and More

Posted on by

When John Carpenter and Kurt Russell developed the character of Snake Plissken for Escape from New York, they knew they had a winning character.  Russell enjoyed playing Snake, Carpenter had plans for many future adventures, and most importantly fans loved Snake Plissken.

Snake (Kurt and Carpenter) returned for Escape from LA.  Although not as well-received as EFNY, Escape from LA was not going to be the final adventure for our one-eyed anti-hero.  Next up was to be Escape from Earth.  Sadly, that film never left the launching pad.

But Snake Plissken didn’t fade away.  There were plans for future films, a tv series, comics (that did happen) and video games.  Kieran Fisher at Film School Rejects discusses them all in his article The Snake Plissken Sequels We’ll Never Get to See.  Since you’ve read this far, my guess is you’ll enjoy it.
