Cully Hamner was the first artist I approached when I started getting sketches again. Cully was up for the task and was so cool about it (and did such a bang-up job) that I can’t think of a better artist to start me down the path of collecting art again.
Are you better than the average American at Science?
I figured I would do pretty well, but wasn’t sure I’d ace the quiz. I did though, scoring 10 out of 10. perhaps there is hope for me yet.
How many gangs were featured in Walter Hill’s cult classic The Warriors?
Let’s see…
There were, of course, the Warriors.
Everybody remembers the Baseball Furies.
The gang that called all gangs for a meet were the Gramercy Riffs.
Then there was the scary gang that rode [inside and outside] the school bus — the Turnbull AC’s.
The all girl gang was the Lizzies.
The gang that almost let the Warriors pass through their territory was the Orphans (so low on the gang food chain they weren’t even invited to the gathering).
The gang that set all other gangs on the Warriors were the Rouges.
There was a gang that dressed flashy and were only seen at the start and they were called the Boppers.
So I got 8. Did you do better?
There were actually 21 street gangs featured in The Warriors and Mental Floss counts them down for us!
That’s Eric Powell’s cover (one of many variants) for the new Big Trouble in Little China comic series coming from Boom! Studios. Eric “The Goon” Powell will be taking on the writing chores with art from Brian “The Sixth Gun” Churilla.
Powell and Churilla were recently interviewed about the project at CBR,com so if you’re a fan you ought to click over.
Jake Hinkson the author of the highly recommended Hell on Church Street; The Posthumous Man and Saint Homicide has created a site where you can find most of his on-line pieces!
Bruiser Zablo
June 22, 1997 – March 11, 2014
The best friend anyone could want. He lived a great long life. Bruiser went out peacefully surrounded by people who loved him. Who could ask for more?
From Dusk Till Dawn the Series premieres tonight at 9pm on the El Rey network.
I am a huge fan of the movie. You know I’ll be tuning in. I hope you will as well.
Some people have a real fear of clowns. I can understand that since some clowns are scary.
If you’re someone who gets scared of clowns, then you probably already booked it out of this post since it is about a seven-foot tall clown named Puddles: the Sad Clown with the Golden Voice.
Listen to Puddles sing and it’s easy understand the golden voice part… not sure why he’s sad since that clown can croon.
I’ve been a fan of David “Brohawk” Williams’ art from the moment I first laid eyes on it. Most folks become fans that quickly because Brohawk is THAT great.
When I had a chance to meet David at HeroesCon in 2012, I was thrilled when he agreed to do a Stallone Rambo sketch for me. Awesome, isn’t it? And that’s just from a photo. The actual art is too big for my scanner!
Jack Bauer is back in 24: Live Another Day.
I can only think of two things to say:
1] Man, did we miss him?
2] Boy, could we use him now!
As you can see I got Professor X. Perhaps from now on you should refer to me as Professor Z.
The photo above comes from Steve Niles’ Tumblr.
Nat Jones did the art for a Legion of Monsters pitch that he, Rick Remender and Steve Niles put together.
Steve Niles posts all kinds of cool stuff daily and is worth a follow.
The new trailer for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is now available!!!
The photo on the left is Louis Meyers. The drawing on the right is a police sketch of the Zodiac Killer.
The Zodiac Killer is responsible for 5 unsolved murders in the San Francisco area committed between 1968 and 1969. The Zodiac Killer taunted police in letters to newspapers and claimed to have killed as many as 37 people. The Zodiac Killer was never caught.
Louis Meyers died in 2002, but before he died Meyers confessed to his best friend, Randy Kenney, that he (Meyers) was the Zodiac Killer. Meyers claimed that he picked the victims (usually couples in lovers lane or secluded spots) because his girlfriend broke up with him.
Evidence supporting Meyers claim he was the Zodiac Killer…
All of these facts are circumstantial, but authorities have now added Louis Meyers to the list of Zodiac Killer suspects.
