“The Creature from the Black Lagoon” by Greg Luzniak!
Greg Luzniak created this cool Creature from the Black Lagoon painting.
I’ve been a fan of The Creature from the Black Lagoon since I first saw the movie when I was a young boy. While the sequels, books, and comics never lived up to the bar set by the original film, legions of fans have continued to show support and love for The Creature. Now that James Wan is set to helm a new Creature from the Black Lagoon movie, fans are excited again.
Batman by Cliff Chang!
I like when Batman uses his detective skills. Cliff Chang probably feels the same way since he created the art above.
Blade by Howard Chaykin!
When someone brings up the character Blade, two people come to mind: Wesley Snipes and Howard Chaykin. Snipes because he perfectly brought the Daywalker to the silver screen and Chaykin because, well, check out the drawing above.

Mary Shelley’s iconic masterpiece is brought to life with the definitive on-screen Frankenstein, Boris Karloff, in this stunning new graphic novel!
Decades before the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and H.G. Wells, 18-year-old Mary Shelley wrote what many regard as the first work of science fiction when she penned FRANKENSTEIN: or, the MODERN PROMETHEUS, which was published in 1818.
Over one hundred years later, in 1931, a hard-working but relatively unknown actor named Boris Karloff was cast to play Frankenstein’s monster in James Whale’s now classic movie adaptation. The film made Karloff a star and solidified Frankenstein’s monster as an icon of the silver screen.
In 2024, Legendary Comics is proud to bring Shelley and Karloff together for the first time in a faithful adaptation of the novel starring the iconic actor in the lead role of the fully reimagined monster. In partnership with Sara Karloff of Karloff Enterprises, and featuring the artistic talents of Kerry Gammill and El Garing, the team behind the award-winning BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA STARRING BELA LUGOSI, this new graphic novel is certain to delight and terrify old and new fans alike.

Mitch Byrd is such a talented artist. Check out his take on the Hulk and I’m sure you’ll agree.
CURTAIN CALL by Lupano Wilfrid & Rodolphe Guenoden / Z-View
CURTAIN CALL by Lupano Wilfrid (writer) and Rodolphe Guenoden (artist)
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Vinent and Gaby Rocket are unlikely partners in crime. At least they plan to be. Their get rich scheme is to knock over an armored truck. The thing is neither of them are criminals. The only reason they’d dare such an outrageous crime is they need the money.
Gaby needs the cash to get off the booze and finally live a better life. Vincent plans to use his cut to return to Senegal, the home of his true love and their baby that he’s never seen. Vincent also wants to give a share of the loot to armored truck’s driver. The guy isn’t in on the robbery. He’s just a down on his luck schmo that Vincent feels sorry for. Gaby’s not sure he’s okay with that.
Despite the best laid plans, things go sideways in ways no once could imagine.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Lupano Wilfrid and Rodolphe Guenoden have created an unconventional crime story. The characters are flawed and their motivations are real. The twists are not those expected in a crime story, but are believable thanks to the set-up of Wilfrid’s story. Guenoden’s art is on the mark. I love how he has just the right touch of cartoony-ness.
CURTAIN CALL by Lupano Wilfrid (writer) and Rodolphe Guenoden (artist) rates 4 of 5 stars.

The Black Terror by Dan Brereton!
That’s the Black Terror by Dan Brereton. I’m a huge fan of the limited series that he and writers Beau Smith and Charles Dixon created by in 1989 for Eclipse Comics. That is a series that is way overdue for a nice compilation.

Batman by John Beatty!
I’ve always been a fan of John Beatty’s art. Of course we’ve been buddies since junior high. I’d have still been a fan even if that wasn’t the case. Check out his Batman sketch and you’ll know why.
