Starfire (1st series) #1-8

On January 30, 2023January 29, 2023 By Tom PanareseIn Comics, ReviewsLeave a comment

The reason I have all eight issues of this 1970s DC science fiction series is three-fold: 1) all my copies are in fair condition at best and at most cost me maybe a couple of bucks; 2) Who's Who; 3) Shag. The last two are intertwined sort of. I first learned of this character from …

One-offs for #SciFiComicsMonth

On January 29, 2023 By Tom PanareseIn Comics, ReviewsLeave a comment

So I've been working my way through a stack of science fiction comics for January (and might not get through the whole stack before the end of the month, so some of these reviews might bleed over into February). There are a few whole runs and series or multiple issues of a title that will …

Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression

On January 22, 2023 By Tom PanareseIn books, ReviewsLeave a comment

About a year and a half ago, I read Studs Terkel's Working, which was an "oral history" of occupations in the mid-1970s. I reviewed it in this post, and if you read that, you'll get a sense of how I came to know Terkel's work. Working is kind of a snapshot of a time as …

Ray Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man Special

On January 8, 2023 By Tom PanareseIn Comics, ReviewsLeave a comment

It's not like I had forgot Topps Comics was a thing back in the 1990s because at one point I owned a Captain Victory comic book and I believe I might have bought their adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula when it came out. But when I looked at the cover of the book and saw …

The Crow: Hark the Herald

On December 12, 2022December 11, 2022 By Tom PanareseIn Comics, ReviewsLeave a comment

You know, I'm not really familiar with The Crow as a franchise. I own a trade collection of the original James O'Barr comics that I bought around the time that the movie came out in 1994 and still own my VHS copy of the film. Other than listening to my college roommate's copy of the …

DC Comics Presents #67

On December 11, 2022 By Tom PanareseIn Comics, ReviewsLeave a comment

I guess if you're a DC fan and you're going to read something for #HolidayComicsMonth, this is one of those books that you're eventually going to get around to? Well, I don't think I actually planned on reading this for December, but I will say that when I came across DC Comics Presents #67 at …

Attack!

On November 30, 2022 By Tom PanareseIn Comics, ReviewsLeave a comment

Even though I have more war comics to read and eventually review for this blog, I decided to close out #WarComicsMonth with this comic, which I found in a quarter bin back in May and whose cover was intriguing enough that I felt compelled to pick up. Published in 1975 by Spire Christian Comics, "Attack!" …

DC vs. Charlton: a #WarComicsMonth Battle

On November 30, 2022November 28, 2022 By Tom PanareseIn Comics, ReviewsLeave a comment

I guess I should start out by confessing that I considered reviewing all of these comics separately as part of a larger #WarComicsMonth review set, but the month of November got all sorts of crazy and I wanted to make sure I got them all in. Plus, I thought it would be interesting to do …

Lost Soldiers #1-5

On November 29, 2022November 28, 2022 By Tom PanareseIn Comics, ReviewsLeave a comment

I'm going with two-fers for the last couple of days of #WarComicsMonth so that I can squeeze everything in. This morning, my review was a modern book and I'm also keeping with the modern/contemporary stuff via Image Comics' Lost Soldiers, a five-issue miniseries from Image by the creative team of Ales Kut, Luca Casalanguida, Heather …

Dark Blood #1-6

On November 29, 2022November 28, 2022 By Tom PanareseIn Comics, ReviewsLeave a comment

While I've been doing my best to flip back and forth between contemporary comics and classic comics in the war genre, I've noticed that most of the issues that I have been reading have been predominantly white, either in terms of characters and creators. This doesn't diminish the stories that I have read nor the …
