Makin’ Links # 71


On this Thanksgiving day, we are, of course, thankful for our readers and thankful for comics blogs that continue to offer such nifty posts for us to link to!
Ol’ Groove is offering up a full four course Thanksgiving Day feast of cool comics today, starting off with the rare combination of Studio vets Mike Kaluta and Bernie Wrightson on pencils and inks for one issue of DC’s THE SHADOW from the 1970′s.

Here’s SILVER AGE COMICS with some reflections on THE DILEMMA OF SUPERBOY or more particularly his parents and how they were de-aged by DC to appeal to younger fans. I, myself, HAD older parents and so their original look seemed fine to me!

I always enjoy Ed Wheelan and here we have a 2-part presentation of his classic MINUTE MOVIES newspaper strip as reprinted with commentary in NOSTALGIA COMICS during the nostalgia boom of the early seventies.

AIRBOY and VALKYRIE were two characters revived very successfully by Eclipse Comics in the 1980′s but originally they were from the halcyon days of WWII. Fred Kida’s original tale of AIRBOY MEETS VALKYRIE shows up today courtesy of THE TIME BULLET.
