HANK KETCHAMS COMPLETE DENNIS THE MENACE 1955-1956 HC

by Hank Ketcham Hank Ketcham's Complete Dennis the Menace is one of the most successful books in the company's history, greeted by reviews with praise similar to that garnered by The Complete Peanuts. This third volume of Hank Ketcham's Complete Dennis the Menace publishes every single panel strip from 1955 and 1956 in one handsome and thick hardcover volume. Ketcham's legendary pen and ink work achieves its full flowering in this volume as do the various situations and themes that Ketcham would return to: the first "split screen" (two-panel strip) that Ketcham would occasionally use; Dennis actually flirts with a girl; he rats Dad out to Mom; exacerbates confrontations between Dad and the police; and stymies hapless baby-sitters. Oh, and Mr. Wilson finally comes front-and-center as Dennis' #1 victim.


EC ARCHIVES SHOCK SUSPENSTORIES VOL 1 HC
by Various This beautifully bound hardcover reprints the first six complete issues (24 stories) of the comic book Shock SuspenStories, originally published in 1952. Includes stories by William Gaines & Al Feldstein, with art by Jack Kamen, Jack Davis, Joe Orlando, Graham Ingles, and Wally Wood. Featuring a foreword by Steven Spielberg this book looks back at some of the edgiest and best written stories in comic history.


WALT DISNEYS CHRISTMAS PARADE #4
by Barks, Gregory, Gottfredson, Lustig, and Transgaard In Carl Bark's and Bob Gregory's "Christmas in Duckburg," Scrooge has Donald catching moose in the frozen North... until he runs into trouble with the larcenous Beagle Boys! John Lustig (Last Kiss) contributes "Wrap Up Your Troubles," in which Mickey is forced to pack some very dangerous yuletide gifts! Other ho-ho-ho-inducing features include Big Bad Wolf, Gyro Gearloose, and a 1932 Floyd Gottfredson short!

DOC SAVAGE DOUBLE NOVEL VOL 1
The Man of Bronze returns as the pulp's greatest superman confronts The Devil Genghis, John Sunlight, a mad genius armed with incredible scientific inventions stolen from Doc Savage's Fortress of Solitude. Doc Savage and his Iron Crew return in two thrilling novels by Lester Dent writing as Kenneth Robeson.

SHADOW DOUBLE NOVEL VOL 2
The greatest avenger from the legendary hero pulps returns in two more classic novels by his creator, Walter B. Gibson. The Shadow's crime-fighting organization became fully-formed in The Chinese Disks, the novel which introduces as agents cabby Moe Shrevnitz, reformed former-crooks Hawkeye and Tapper, Pietro, and the giant African Jericho Druke. The novel is a sequel to Gibson's first novel, The Living Shadow, and features the return of The Shadow's first major foe, Diamond Bert Farwell. Malmordo is the final Shadow novel completed by Walter Gibson before his 1946 departure following a contract dispute, and ended his initial 15-year run chronicling The Shadow's adventures.

DC Comics Covergirls
Written by Louise Simonson
Pub Date: April 2007

From the trailblazing Wonder Woman of the 1940s to edgy, girl-power-driven comics series like Birds of Prey, DC Comics Covergirls takes a look at the female characters of DC Comics throughout the company's history, and features many of DC Comics' iconic comic book covers. Written by renowned comic book writer Louise Simonson, the book examines the evolution of the comic book women of DC Comics: the 1942 introduction of the most famous DC heroine, Wonder Woman, and her various incarnations up to the present; the creation of comic book spin-offs based on characters such as Lois Lane; and the recent wealth of fierce, female character-driven comics such as Supergirl, Birds of Prey, Batgirl, and Catwoman, featuring women who have no trouble being both sexy and strong-willed. Famous featured DC Comics artists include Jim Lee, Alex Ross, Adam Hughes, J. Scott Campbell, Michael Turner, Tim Sale, and Jill Thompson. DC Comics Covergirls is a smart and in-depth look at the female comic book characters we've grown up with all these years, and is sure to appeal to new comic book fans and diehard collectors alike.

1.9. "BRAIN DRAIN"
A major malfunction sends Brainiac 5's genius IQ plummeting. To obtain the rare element needed to save him, Superman and Timber Wolf must travel to the most inhospitable planet in the galaxy -- and thanks to a transporter accident, they have only Brainy's head to guide them.

1.10. "THE SUBSTITUTES"
It's that time of year again -- Legion Auditions! This year's crop is hardly promising, with most hopefuls turning out to be comic duds. But when the Legion is overwhelmed fighting a mysterious foe in Earth's upper atmosphere, a group of rejects takes it upon themselves to save the world below... with outrageous results.

1.11. "CHAIN OF COMMAND"
When disaster strikes Lightning Lad's home planet of Winath, the Legion is called to help. Lightning Lad's efforts to take charge are thwarted however when long-absent Legion leader Cosmic Boy arrives with an enigmatic new hero in tow.

USA Today looks at "Hollywoodland," the new docu-drama about the death of TV's "Superman" George Reeves.

Hollywoodland delves into whether Reeves' affair with a studio exec's wife led to foul play. But the film probes deeper, exploring whether simple unhappiness led the hero to millions of children to take his own life.

"How did he manage to impact a generation of kids and still not be happy about it? It ate him up as opposed to satisfying him," says screenwriter Paul Bernbaum, who was a childhood fan of the show.

Today's Best Song Ever: "Young Love" -- Sonny James



A beauty from the golden age of country pop. Try not singing along with chorus as Sonny pays tribute to the innocent days of first romance. This was a number 2 hit on the U.S. chart in 1957.

The galloping drums, simple bass and vocal backups swell gloriously, longingly throughout the song, but never go over the top.

Fantagraphics, now publishing complete runs of "The Peanuts," "Dennis and Menace" and soon "Pogo," wishes it could've snagged "Dick Tracy," but alas, IDW is handling that project.

------------------

A hardcover omnibus collecting Frank Miller's Daredevil comics from issues #158-191 is slated for release soon. Here's the description:

Frank Miller's spellbinding scripts and pulse-pounding pencils herald one of Daredevil's greatest eras, just in time for the Kingpin and Bullseye's efforts to rob the Man Without Fear of everything he holds dear! Featuring the first appearances of Elektra, Stick and the Hand! The daring discovery that drew Ben Urich into Daredevil's domain of darkness! Such forgotten-yet-formidable foes as Death-Stalker and the Gladiator! Guest-starring the Hulk, the Avengers, and Power Man and Iron Fist! Collects Daredevil #158-191.

These were good comics, before Miller slipped into hardboiled shtick and was actually doing something new, and before the comics industry devolved into relentlessly copy him.

Today's Best Song Ever: "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" -- K.C. and the Sunshine Band



Oh come on! Don't be a snob! You know you love disco, no matter how badly you disparaged it at the time. Whether you wear your love on your sleeve or hide it away shamefully in a closet of guilty pleasures, there's no denying the fad spawned some enjoyable music. This tune being a perfect example.

And why do you like it? Because you're supposed to. The song is specifically engineered to connect with that primitive part of the brain that loves in-the-pocket drums, funky bass and scratchy guitars. Plus, the horns. Great horns on this track.

The lyrics are stoopid great too. Nothing to 'em. They simply voice what the music is already telling you to do: Stop being so uptight, get out there on the dance floor and shake it--not in a sleazy way, but in a fun way that shows to the world you're not a stuck-up jerk.

Sure, there's lots to hate about disco culture: The narcissism, the drugs, the clubs and clothes, the horrible movies and all the bandwagon-jumping music. But there's lots to hate about nearly every subculture, especially once it breaks into the mainstream and becomes a big trend.

But this song, you can't hate it. It came before all the ugliness and is pure in its honesty and in it's cajoling us into having a good time.

Review: "Justice Society Vol. 1"

The Justice Society of America, in DC Comics' "JSA" title, is enjoying a very long and successful run. But it wasn't always that way.

Before "JSA" there had been numerous attempts to bring back the JSA, which debuted in the Golden Age of the 1940s and then vanished in the early 1950s when superheroes fell out of favor. The "Justice League of America" (the JLA was itself and updated version of the JSA) reintroduced the Golden Age characters in annual crossovers starting in 1963. But, outside of those appearances, the team never really caught on with readers in their own adventures.

This new trade paperback collects the first 10 issues of a failed 1976 attempt to revive the JSA, plus a 1977 issue of "DC Special" featuring the team.

The scripts for these stories, by Gerry Conway and Paul Levitz, are pretty much by-the-numbers superteam stuff, not much different from anything you'd find in Justice League stories from the same period. A crisis brings the heroes together, they split up to tackle individual aspects of the problem, then they come together to put the big kibosh on things. Gardner Fox should've put a patent on it.

And, because this was the mid 70s and because this was DC, none of the characters really has much of an individual personality. Not that Conway or Levitz had much to work with. Back in the 1940s, when the JSA was introduced, superheroes didn't have personalities, not other than being heroic and super and occasionally quippy. Superheroes with varying moods and personal crises were introduced by Marvel Comics in the early 60s.

Levitz and Conway do the best they can, giving the Golden Age Green Lantern a financial crisis to cope with and turning Power Girl (first introduced in this series) into sort of a "Maude"-style feminist. With a huge in her costume to display her cleavage. None of it is really enough to make the stories compelling in the same way as, for example, an issue of the "Fantastic Four" or "Avengers" from the same time might've been.

What makes the reprint worthwhile, however, is the art. Much of the work is by a young Keith Giffen and the wonderful Joe Staton (these days working on "Scooby Doo" comics, but a great superhero artist with a real flair for character and action scenes). But the big draw (no pun intended. Really!) is Wally Wood, featured in seven of the issues, sometimes on his own, others assisted by Giffen. Those issues are beautiful to look at, with nice examples of Wood's sci-fi machinary backgrounds and figure work. If it's just to see Wood drawing Superman (not Superduperman, like he did for "Mad" back in the 1950s) the book is worth picking up. And, no doubt, some folks will pick it up because it's Wood drawing Powergirl, who seems to become more buxom with every issue he turned in.

The reproduction of said art is great. The color reconstruction by Drew R. Moore is nice and bright and loyal to the originals.

The only thing that's a problem is that, for some lamebrained reason, all the credits from each issue's splash page has digitally disappeared. So, while we get lump artist, writer, inker credits (letterers don't count, I guess) at the front of the book, we can't easily determine who wrote and drew each individual issue. Since the stories, I'd guess, are being republished mainly out of historical interest, this maneuver was just plain dumb. Plus, it's an offense to the original creators. I'm morbidly curious about what sort of inexcusable reason the editors would give for doing this. Oh well.

The back cover of the collection says this is the first of two "JSA" collections, so I guess we'll see the remaining five issues of the run and perhaps some other 70s JSA appearance in a second book soon.

Disappearing credits. Now you see 'em:
