As the granddaughter of Green Lantern co-creator Mart Nodell, Sequential Crush‘s Jacquie Nodell has comics history in her blood…literally. Today at her site, she snags a fascinating interview with Suzan Lane (now Loeb), Marvel’s late 1960′s “Girl Friday” and writer of the Suzan Says column in the romance comics of the day.

Speaking of comics historians, one of the first and best is Bhob Stewart who, over at Potrzebie, shares some early cartoon work from Hugh Hefner who went on to influence the history of comics in many ways through Playboy.

Was up very late last night watching a Ray Harryhausen marathon on TCM and then awoke this morning (way too early) to find that Diversions of the Groovy Kind, also in a stop-motion mood, was presenting Jack Sparling’s Dell adaptation of Ray’s 1969 movie, The Valley of Gwangi.

Finally today, even though it’s Saturday, here’s a nice selection of Otto Messmer’s Felix the Cat color Sunday strips from the early 1930′s. Have I mentioned that Craig has a Felix the Cat book in the pipeline? Watch this page for details!
