Those shows were cheesy to the max, but they were all we had and, to tell the truth, I thought the Isis actress was all that and a bag of chips. <BR/><BR/>That said, what I wouldn't have given for quality shows like the animated shows that Bruce Timm has been putting out.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896853636391031482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732808458531819052.post-38731998797594044592008-04-15T16:45:00.000-07:002008-04-15T16:45:00.000-07:00Emilio,The group is based in Virginia.

He's a super-nice guy and is more than happy to talk about the comic books that he wrote and I read when I was a kid. He's still my all-time favorite Marvel writer. Nobody has ever done the Avengers as well as Roy. Which I tell him every year.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I spend about half my time at the convention going around gushing to these guys about how great they are. They probably think I'm nuts.<BR/><BR/>And I watched Isis. It was part of the Shazam! Hour. I found it sort of dull, but the teacher and her teen sidekick were enough reason for me to keep tuning in. :)<BR/><BR/>Love your depiction of... er... Isis.Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05863327737967527942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732808458531819052.post-31622492365653766582008-04-14T15:17:00.000-07:002008-04-14T15:17:00.000-07:00Actually, I think Erik Larsen was right on the mon...Actually, I think Erik Larsen was right on the money about what he said (appreciating people while they are still around).<BR/><BR/>I bumped into Marshall Rogers at a con a few years back and got a chance to talk to him. One of my life’s highlights was getting a chance to color one of his jobs and I told him as much. Having always been a big fan of his work, I was pretty jazzed to get a chance to work on a project he pencilled.<BR/><BR/>Same thing goes for Steve Gerber.<BR/><BR/>I haunted his boards for a few years and managed to have a bit of a back and forth with him for awhile. A few weeks before he passed, I had even sent over an email to Rich Johnstone suggesting he make mention of Steve in LITG because he was facing a tough battle.<BR/><BR/>I can’t tell you how amazed I am when I’m at a convention and I come across someone who is a hero of mine quietly standing off to the side without anyone around them.<BR/><BR/>At last years’ NY Comicon, I managed to find Gene Colan all by himself, waiting for his ride, killing some time at the end of the day all the way at the end of artist’s alley. If you can imagine, no one was around him and a lot of people didn’t even register who he was!<BR/><BR/>Suffice to say when I saw him, I didn’t let the chance pass without lavishing enormous praise on him for a body of work that I still find astounding.<BR/><BR/>Time is too precious not to give the gift of a compliment to someone.PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02836974899495803366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732808458531819052.post-67283794863508184032008-04-14T14:21:00.000-07:002008-04-14T14:21:00.000-07:00Matt- Nice drawing.

It does look like you're more confident with these.<BR/>Would've preferred a drawing of Isis, though.<BR/>Loved watching that show back then.<BR/>I remember wishing my teachers would look like that. <BR/><BR/>I need to recycle some electronics myself. Does the website you went to have drop-off sites in Florida? I should just do a search.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, would love to see the 3d stuff if they ever let you post it.<BR/><BR/>Later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732808458531819052.post-13078272294224016342008-04-14T13:09:00.000-07:002008-04-14T13:09:00.000-07:00oh i forgot to add that the main actress was hot t...oh i forgot to add that the main actress was hot though....Heywood Jablomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12559128208530940675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732808458531819052.post-23077649231312345892008-04-14T13:08:00.000-07:002008-04-14T13:08:00.000-07:00haha! i like your idea better. while i never caugh...haha! i like your idea better. while i never caught the show, i did see it on the vh1 we love the 70's week. and from i saw there, yeah your version might have panned out to be more fun haha!Heywood Jablomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12559128208530940675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732808458531819052.post-52803073405777269182008-04-13T19:48:00.000-07:002008-04-13T19:48:00.000-07:00Thanks, PJ.

I know he got to see the hardcover because his copy was on his desk when we got to Durham and I believe he posted about it on his blog. I'm so glad he got to see it. It stings a little to know he was disappointed in the sales figures, though. <BR/><BR/>Other than that, though, that's a nice column by Erik. He has a gruff way of expressing himself but he's pretty damn classy in my book. And he's right about telling people you appreciate them while they're still around. I'm so glad I got to tell Sal Buscema what his work means to me when he was in Charlotte a few years ago. He was completely shocked to hear it. Which probably means he doesn't hear it nearly enough.Matt Wieringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01302122744904811081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732808458531819052.post-85993292672308978742008-04-13T19:19:00.000-07:002008-04-13T19:19:00.000-07:00The story about the scanner is kind of creepy.

I can’t say I blame you about being glad it’s out of the house.<BR/><BR/>I need to do that electronic recycling thing myself, there are just way too many ‘artifacts’ lying around. I at one time thought about taking an old station and running a pdf file on it as a ‘kiosk’ but I just never got around to it.<BR/><BR/>I hope you do post the model, I for one would like to see it - that 3d stuff is tough!<BR/><BR/>Also, Erik Larsen mentioned Mike in his last column up on Comic Book Resources if you haven’t seen it.PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02836974899495803366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732808458531819052.post-36231584592788780302008-04-13T13:51:00.000-07:002008-04-13T13:51:00.000-07:00I was in Stories last year or the year before and ...I was in Stories last year or the year before and they had ISIS playing.
