And Now the REAL 007
Earlier this morning we looked at 007 From Plainfield New Jersey. Now we have the REAL 007.
J. O’Barr is Skinning the Wolves
J. O’Barr is writing and doing the art layouts [with finishes by Jim Terry] for a new Crow three issue mini-series called Skinning the Wolves. Set in a concentration camp in the darkest hours of World War II, the story…
- investigates a world where the dark harbinger of vengeance is dispatched in response to one of history’s greatest atrocities and the ultimate evil that perpetrated it.
I’ve been a J. O’Barr fan since the original Crow mini-series debuted back in the pages of Caliber Presents. Although I bought almost every Crow mini-series that followed it, something was always missing. Usually it was J. O’Barr. I’m glad to see he’s back with story and layouts and will give it a shot!
Thanks to CBR.com for the original link.

The 32 Greatest Unscripted Movie Scenes.
It may come as a surprise, but often a movie’s most memorable line/scene is the result of an ad-lib. Paul Young at Screen Rant presents The 32 Greatest Unscripted Movie Scenes.
R.I.P. – R.B. Greaves
I just learned that R.B. Greaves passed away on September 27, 2012 at the age of 67.
R.B. Greaves was best known for his million selling hit, “Take a Letter Maria” which was released in 1969. He followed up a year later with a cover of “Always Something There to Remind Me” which peaked at 27 on Billboard’s Hot 100. His cover of “A Whiter Shade of Pale” reached 87 the same year.
“Take a Letter Maria” ended up selling over 2 million copies and was the first 45 I ever bought. I loved that song (and still do) and every time I hear it, it takes me back to my childhood.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to R.B. Greaves, his family, friends and fans.
“The Butterfly Effect”
Have you seen this fun short CGI animation, The Butterfly Effect?
- The Butterfly Effect was written and directed by Dan Sumich and is a homage to the classic action films from the 1970s through to the 1990s, with a soundtrack by the legendary heavy metal vocalist Steve Grimmett.
Well done, fellas!
A New Swing at Tarzan
Very cool.
Thanks and a big “Ungawa” to @MikeZeck for the heads-up.
Alexis Ziritt and Rambo
Alexis Ziritt makes his first appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. Alexis is the co-founder of Fistful Apparel and the indie comics co-op Calavera Comics. When I saw that Alexis was taking sketch card commissions, I decided to get on board for a couple. I asked Alexis to pick two from Jack Carter, John Rambo and Cobra. Alexis liked the theme and decided to do all three.
Looking Forward to a “Red Dawn”
I am really looking forward to Red Dawn… much more than I thought I would when the remake was announced.
Kirkman & Moore Settle Suit!
Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore have amicably settled their suit over The Walking Dead. In a joint statement sent to CBR.com it was announced that…
- “Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore are pleased to jointly announce that they have reached an amicable agreement in their respective lawsuits and all parties have settled the entire matter to everyone’s mutual satisfaction. Neither side will be discussing any details but will instead happily and productively spend their time focused on their own work and move on in their lives.”
Excellent news. Truly excellent.
X-Men 133 Not #1??
I was checking out CBR.com’s Top Five Most Iconic Wolverine Covers and couldn’t believe that Byrne and Austin’s cover for X-Men 133 not only wasn’t #1, but it didn’t even make the list?
Are you kidding me?
This issue is not only iconic, but was one of the most anticipated comics ever! The storyline had been set up for 133 to focus on Wolverine’s single-handed rescue of the team from the Hellfire Club.
X-Men 133 didn’t even make the list?
C’mon, man!
Jesse Munoz: Jack Carter – No Shades of Gray
Jesse Munoz makes a return appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. Big thanks to Jesse for his excellent take on Sly as Jack Carter and for the quick response time. Not only did Jesse provide me with this black and white version but also this grayscale version as well. Jesse is a great choice if you collect sketches!
You can see more of Jesse’s art.
