“This Really Diminishes Him and Makes Him Look Pathethic”- A Look At Industry and Fan’s Opinion On Roy Thomas’s Grand Theft

I know, some of you are thinking “still with the Roy Thomas coverage…? Why, it almost sounds personal at this point!” Allow me to assure you, dear reader, that there is no obsessive interest in the misdeeds of the Rascally One and his vile hangers-on and enablers. It’s simply that Thomas continues his celebration tour […]

“Must Be The Only Thing Written About Roy Thomas that Roy Never Read…” – On The Public and Prolific Bitterness of Roy Thomas

It had been brought up more than once, notably by Patrick Ford, how often a certain generation of Marvel employees referred to Jack Kirby in the press as “bitter“- and the irony in that considering that many of the employees guilty of that particular smear were, themselves, quite prolific in public venting, righteous indignation, fragile […]

Conservative Snowflakes & Liberal Know-It-Alls Both Get It Wrong: The REAL Reason For The “Controversial” Silver Surfer Casting

This’ll be a short one friends, as I’ve got all sorts of irons in the proverbial fire with the ongoing (and growing) pushback towards Roy Thomas and John Cimino’s villainy, as well as work on an article which proves conclusively just how fraudulent and inept the collected “comics journalism” community is. In fact, this is […]

“Roy Knows This, But He’s Turned Into a Ghoul Late in Life…” – The Comics Biz Gets Wise, Better Late Than Never

I suppose it had to happen tho’ I wish it had happened earlier.

Let me preface this piece by stressing that there is no degree of snark intended when I describe longtime comics pro Tony Isabella as a “conundrum”- he is the first individual written about here that I simply can’t resist having some degree of conflict over- such is my sincere and legit admiration for his burn-the-bridges […]

“I Always Had So Many Outside Interests”- Stan Lee’s Love of Comics

We often see Stan Lee described with sobriquets such as the “Geek Godfather” and “Comics Maestro” and it’s truly understandable that the general public would keep up their association with this collective image of the man. But what occurs to me as someone who has spent years and years reading through nearly every article and/or […]

“I Tried Not to Make Very Much Money Off His Memory…” Appraising Mark Evanier’s Cliff Notes Version of a Kirby Biography

I was reluctant to even tackle this, believe it or not- such is my immense dislike of Mark Evanier. That dislike has been formulated over the years strictly from my own observation and comprehension skill; listening to the ever-changing stories and contradictory statements, being legitimately taken aback at his lack of awareness when sharing his […]

“He Kinda Looks Like A Supervillain”- A Look at the Clues- And Responses- To Funky Flashman

This is not an article which attempts to inform you on the history behind Jack Kirby’s character Funky Flashman, a brilliant send-up and factually correct satire of Stan Lee. That’s been covered numerous times to varying degrees of success and factual correctness, notably on the excellent According to Kirby blog. No, today we’re going to […]
