“I’M NOT SHY ANYMORE”- The Awareness-Lacking Admissions Of The Rascally One

Roy Thomas has gotten bolder. Or maybe… just maybe? I’ve been wrong all along. I’m serious. Perhaps Roy hasn’t been scheming in the traditional sense, and isn’t purposely trying to be an abhorrent lying thief and scoundrel- I mean, I know his Manager/Hanger On/Leech John Cimino is all of those things, as well as the […]

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. A portion of the comics industry has begun to finally speak out against what Four Color Sinners has been covering and compiling for the better part of a year: the ongoing and calculated makeover of Roy Thomas as the co-creator of various […]

“…Fell Flat With The Wednesday Warriors who Supported The Industry for Decades…” Celebrating The Most Loathsome People in Comics, 2023!

Well, we’ve come to the end of another year and another year for the industry, the medium, and the hobby of comic books. And look- I know what you’re saying, I do. Why can’t I focus on all the positives of the industry? Why can’t we write about the critically acclaimed and under publicized comics […]

“Always The First Person In The Room to Point Out It Wasn’t Just You…” The Slog That is 2002’s ‘Stan Lee’s Mutants, Monsters & Marvels’

I had known about this truly intolerable documentary, in actuality a long-form interview conducted by the equally intolerable Kevin Smith, since it initially appeared in 2002 when I was considerably younger. I’d like to stress that I avoided it completely then, largely due to my immense dislike of Smith which was quite possibly formed by […]

“It Was a Dichotomy that Made No Sense”- Reexamining 2011’s ‘Lee & Kirby: The Wonder years’

I’ll admit to being a bit conflicted upon reviewing Mark Alexander’s sentimental study of Stan Lee & Jack Kirby’s Fantastic Four run from 2011, ‘Lee & Kirby: The Wonder Years‘, published by TwoMorrows Publishing (and doubling as the 58th issue of The Jack Kirby Collector, albeit in a deluxe, trade paperback format) for what I’d […]

“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 […]

“…Created By The Most Successful Creator of Intellectual Property of Our Time.” – Digging Deeper Into The Post-Mortem Fake Creations of Stan Lee

It’s been barely two months since we commented on the exciting announcement of Stan Lee Comics, an upcoming publishing venture consisting of apparently unreleased original Stan Lee creations headed up by his acolyte and sometimes ghost writer Michael Uslan. If you tragically missed that glorious post, you can read it here, o frantic one: https://fourcolorsinners.wordpress.com/2023/07/15/to-a-global-audience-as-never-before-the-endless-fake-creations-of-stan-lee/ […]

“Par for the Course for The Kirby Family”- A Look Back at 20/20’s Marvel Anniversary Special

When the long-running television news program 20/20 aired on ABC the evening of July 24th, 1986, it had to be a rather exciting event for comic fans and professionals alike. In 1986 the cultural assimilation of Marvel into pop culture was still over two decades away; being featured on “mainstream” news was another step forward […]

“Just Too Damn Sensitive For Their Own Good…” How The Politics Of Roy Thomas Influenced His Dismissive Attitude & Shit Writing

Believe it or don’t, I’d much rather keep this site apolitical. It’s only that bringing up someone’s political beliefs- which of course they are entitled to- must today be brought up in a larger context, insomuch as it pertains to their public statements and creative work and how that creative work may or may not […]
