Makin’ Links # 10


The first cool thing I found this morning was THE MAGIC WHISTLE’s excerpted reprint from BOBMAN AND TEDDY, the 1966 “adult comic book” that followed the better-known GREAT SOCIETY comic in parodying Johnson-era US politics. A triumph for the much-maligned illustrator, Tony Tallarico, whose caricatures are spot-on throughout. Script is from DJ Arneson who went on to write children’s books.

THE SUPERMAN SUPERSITE is a flashy lomgtime Internet presence that strives to be your one stop for all things devoted to the Man of Steel. Comics, radio, TV and movies are represented here along with such attractions as the annual Metropolis, Illinois Superman Celebration.

CLASSIC COMIC ART is a site selling off original Leonard Starr newspaper strips from the folks who do the ON STAGE reprints. For those who like to study original art up close and personal, though, this is a treat. Lots of lovely ANNIE and MARY PERKINS ON STAGE strips that can be viewed at a very large size. Enjoy!

Speaking of large-size newspaper strips, how about some color Sunday LITTLE NEMO IN SLUMBERLAND strips from 104 years ago!? That’s what TEN CENT DREAMS-more and more one of my favorite sites-offers us today.
