Movie Weekend (part 2)

Justice League: The New Frontier

Oh yeah, somehow I forgot to mention the new direct-to-video animated movie about the classic JLA. Its pointless to write another glowing review among all the countless others so I won't. If you like D.C. comics, and the Silver Age in general, watch it. That's just a given for me, I don't know how someone who is not aware of the Martian Manhunter or Green Lantern would like this. I really liked it, and the more I think about it the more I like it.

Book of the Damned

I missed the Jack Davis lectures they had at UGA last week...I don't really know how much Mr. Davis actually spoke (there were other famous illustrators speaking as well) but I did find Foul Play! by Grant Geissman at Borders in Athens this Sunday. It covers all of the E.C. Comics greats- Kurtzman, Wood, Ingels, Craig, as well as Jack Davis and many others. The book is packed with color illustrations, a bio on each artist, as well as a complete sample story from the classic E.C. era by each comics legend. Borders had huge stacks, selling them for $4.99 each!! If you want to learn about the Mt. Olympus and its deities of comic book art swing by Border on Alps Road in Athens GA and grab a copy.
