It Came From the Filing Cabinet

I’m in the process of downsizing. Downsizing, at least for most people, means getting rid of stuff you haven’t used in a million years. In this case, it’s a filing cabinet. Correction. Two filing cabinets. Most baby boomers remember them. Some were metal. Some were wood. Almost all sat in the corner of an office and were rarely opened. Each held items or information that might someday be…

DEEP-DIVES --- DC #500: "To Kill A Legend"

A #DeepDive into my favorite #Batman story and my favorite #multiverse story in comics. "To Kill A Legend" by Alan Brennert and Dick Giordano.

The concept of one continuity of characters coming into contact with another continuity of characters, another version of the life they have known, has been done numerous times in superhero comics. Yet virtually all of these many “crossovers” dodge the fundamental existential premise of coming into contact with the life that could have been. One of the few exceptions is “To Kill A Legend”, from…

I Once Walked On Broadway…or How I Made Love To A Theater Marquis…

This is from my other blog...My father knew how to direct me there. I asked him and he knew exactly how many blocks to walk.

The Tragic Pose

In an age of toe-tapping musicals and screwball comedies — which served to distract from the grim realities of the Great Depression — one playwright was content to continue mining the deep veins of tragedy and pessimism than ran through the 1930s.

Nov. 7, 1931 cover by Margaret Schloeman.

A Chekhovian realist, Eugene O’Neill (1888 – 1953) had yet to write his masterpiece, Long Day’s Journey into…

GAK

We recently lost an artist, a friend, an exemplary role model of human kindness. Gak will forever be with us, his work hanging on walls, filling the pages of books, some of his art even tattooed onto skin. His life will always be remembered because he always made ours a little better.

Below are the illustrations he created for The Library of the Dead, one of his final projects. We had future…
