Interview with Cabra Cini's writer Sam Johnson!

Through a Facebook friend, writer Sam Johnson, I saw a really cool comic of his called Cabra Cini: Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman. It’s about a girl who comes from the mean streets of prostitutes, pimps and junkies and has become a dimension hopping magician, ala Constantine, that is also a private detective/"voodoo lady" for hire. 

Sam has created an exciting 8 page story with artist Bruno Letizia in “Digital Visions #4”.

My first comic! Part 1.

Everyone has some comic that they fondly remember from childhood. That comic that had something magical about it that you couldn't stop thinking about. The one that was so compelling that you actually learned to read so that you could understand what they were saying in the pictures. The one that you would dream about years later and never know if it was a real comic or just something that you dreamed up.


Classics Illustrated #160, Food of the Gods!


The things you find surfing the web! Classics Illustrated #160 featuring The Food of the Gods by H. G. Wells! With a cover by Gerald McCann.
This comic came out in early 60's, about the same time that Jack, Stan, and Steve started putting out their "realistic" super-hero comics. Well seeing this I can understand why people would be drawn toward the new X-Men, Fantastic Four and Spider-Man!

Woman I would rather see play Catwoman besides Anne Hathaway!

As you all know by now, Anne Hathaway has been choosen for the role of Catwoman in the new Batman movie. And many people seem very content with the choice. Well I guess that puts me in the minority. All I can think about their decision is, "How the hell can they pick Anne 'princess' Hathaway to play sleek, smart, Selina Kyle!"

CATWOMAN!

Catwoman fast became my favorite superheroine after Brubaker and Cooke started the new series in 2002.

I just love her attitude and confidence. She's no longer the sex kitten, dressed in slinky costumes showing off her insecurities, now she is the fun loving cat who doesn't play it up for no man!
