THE SHADOW and GREEN HORNET Big Little Book collection = complete.
🔗 Very, very cool: THE GOOD ASIAN is one of my favorite comics of recent years: MRC, James Wan’s Atomic Monster & 3 Arts In Deal To Develop Pornsak Pichetshote’s Noir Graphic Novel ‘The Good Asian’ Into Series | Deadline
🔗 Sad to see this voyage end - but what a great legacy; one of my favorite Treks: ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ To End With Fifth Season In Early 2024 On Paramount+ | Deadline
George Méiliès art from LE VOYAGE DANS LA LUNE (1902): beautiful collection here.
the other other obsession
In addition to the Big Little Book obsession, I’m also hooked on lobby cards, so a brief tour of the Paintshop walls (pardon the comics and dog ass): Mexican cards for THE RETURN OF THE FLY and DIARY OF A MADMAN (what LC collection is complete without Vincent Price?) and an Italian poster for one of the best, BLACULA.
Joining requisite DICK TRACY lobby cards (from my favorite of the films. 1945’s DICK TRACY, starring my favorite on-screen Tracy, Morgan Conway) and the second Republic serial, DICK TRACY RETURNS is a lobby card from a 1943 Mexico City screening of my favorite movie serial / chapterplay, MYSTERIOUS DR. SATAN
The two comics PICTURES are the two linchpins of my 30+-year comics nuttery – GREEN HORNET No.3 being the first comic I ever bought and O’Neil / Kaluta THE SHADOW No.1 being the first issue of one of my favorite runs of all time.
PHANTOM ‘43 is from a 1955 re-release “IN FLAMING TECHNICOLOR!” (quite possibly the best description ever) and I’ve never actually seen THE SON OF DR. JEKYLL, but I imagine he’s up to no good. Also: ALF. Because ALF.
