The Superboy Legend - Part 1

I've always enjoyed the classic stories of Superboy, especially the stories in issues #150 to #190 by writer Frank Robbins, art by Bob Brown and Wally Wood.
Above are a couple of pages from that run that explains The Boy of Steel's powers and origins.
These are a lot of fun and in the following days I'll post some more. Enjoy.

FELIX THE CAT - The First Cartoon Star

Happy Birthday to the World's First Cartoon Superstar, Felix the Cat. He made his debut in the Pat Sullivan Toon, "Feline Follies" and through-out the 1920's went on to star in hundred's of cartoons in the silent era.
Felix didn't survive once the sound cartoons started being made, but in the 1950's Felix was reborn on TV with his adventures and his magic bag.
In the mid 1990's CBS brought him back in some new cartoons for Saturday morning and combined his look of the Twenties and the series of the Fifties for a great new series.

HAPPY 90th ANNIVERSARY, FELIX!!

GOJIRA DAY!

It was on this date back in 1954 that a Japanese movie icon made his debut. "Gojira", or as we know him "Godzilla" was first shown to the movie going public to rave reviews. A year later, dubbed in English (sometimes done badly) "Godzilla, King of the Monsters" made his debut in America with additional footage for our audiences.
Gojira (his Japanese name) has gone on to appear in over two dozen movies and become a movie monster favorite all over the world.

Captain Lou Albano 1933 - 2009

One of my favorite people passed away yesterday, Wrestler/Actor Captain Lou Albano. He started wrestling in the 1950's but made a name for himself in the 70's as a manager, mostly for tag-teams and led 15 of them to championships. Lou's unique look of facial piercings with rubber bands hanging from them and his ears and wrapped around his curly beard made him stand out from his other opponents.
Lou also helped bring wrestling into the mainstream when he appeared in 4 music videos starring Cyndi Lauper. This was the beginning of the "Rock and Wrestling" era of the 1980's and wrestling again for the first time in three decades appeared on network prime time television.
He even helped manage the rock group "NRBQ" and they wrote a song about the Captain that was very popular.
Albano also appeared in numerous movies and television shows, usually playing outrageous characters suited to his personality. Albano also played Mario on the Super Mario Brothers TV show, performing the video game icon in live action segments and giving voice to him in the animated segments.
Captain Lou was one of the greats and wrestling owes a lot to him for helping make it more popular.
Here's to "The Guiding Light".
