Reprint of the 1929 dailies from LOAC Essentials, illustrated by Hal Foster and Rex Maxon.
Marvel movies are FUN. DC movies take themselves -- and their world view -- way too seriously. Marvel and DC movies have similar levels of action and special effects and all that... but a viewer can leave the theatre in a very different emotional state after a Marvel movie than they tend to after a DC movie, and the difference is in the fun factor. You get several good laughs in a Marvel movie along with the world-shaking adventure...but sadly, not so in most DC movies. Adventure, sure. Laughs?... not really. "This is serious super-hero stuff," the DC flacks seem to be saying...and consequently, their movies just don't tend to be much fun.
Now, finally, comes a DC movie with the fun level front & center... and I have just read the FREE COMIC BOOK DAY release promoting that movie. Ladies & Gentlemen, kids of all ages: I commend to you The League of Super-Pets. Now, I love me some Super-Pets, and ever since I saw the first promo for this movie, I've been looking forward to it. Originally scheduled for release in the merry month of May, this animated flick now looks to be released in late July. Fine, whatever -- maybe a July release will work better for the presumed audience of this film. Does it skew younger than most DC movies? Maybe... but here's another poorly-kept secret in the comics biz: EVERYbody wants to promote the comic book format to a younger audience. Once upon a time, the presumed audience for comics was 8-12 years old. Nowadays, that expected audience is more like 13-18, and the few that stick with the format into their adult years are the hard-core fans that just aren't enough to really sustain the form as a mass market commodity.
Frankly, that's why we've even GOT something like a FREE COMIC BOOK DAY (and if you're an American member of this forum then I certainly hope your Local Comic Book Store participated in FCBD!) I'm looking forward to the upcoming Super-Pets movie -- and I think the results of this flick may really surprise the bean counters at Warners!
This is where Foster got grid restrictions from the syndicate, limiting how he could orchestrate his panels. Although affecting his means of creativity somewhat, it doesn t take away anything from his magnificent artwork.
It’s very far out when it comes to brutality and some of the monsters are among the most hideous sick things I’ve ever seen. It makes me wonder what was going on in the authors head.
Sadly he passed away last year and the manga will probably not be finally concluded.
Collects all the first Moon Knight stories 1975-1981.
I hadn t read any of the pre-1979 stuff before, but 79 was when greatness arrived anyway in the form of Bill Sienkiewicz (Although Gene Colan drew one in 78 which wasn t too bad). The stories by Doug Moench also rose up in quality by then. Late 70s/early 80s was peak Moon Knight. Just awesome.
Collects Moon Knight 1982-1984. Bought this just to get the last of the Moench/Sienkiewicz run which ended in 83. Formidable.
