Hey, we're just getting this thing started but a few new members have trickled in... so far so good! I'm going to send a notice to the Shazam list later. Are you on the Ditko or Eisner Lists, Dennis? If you are and feel like it, why don't you let them know we're over here having a lot of fun. Otherwise, I'll just ask Randy if he'll forward a message about us over there. Anyway, you asked me about the Impact Line. Yes, of course that's fair game here too. I loved the Mike Parobeck "Fly" that was great stuff. Hated their version of "The Web". The original Web was great...do you remember "Pow Girl"? Your idea to database all the appearances is a good one. I doubt I can be much help here...I have zilch Golden-age material and a so-so silver-age collection, but maybe as we get more members we can line up some help along those lines. Eventually, I'll build a webpage. Well, thanks for joining. I hope it will be fun for everybody. regards, Kris ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

I just managed to catch up on about 600+ posts from Kirby-L over the past week (and of course, as you're trying to catch up, the posts continue to roll in). Hell, might as well blame Lyle -- (that's what the "L" stands for, Kirby- Lyle)! I might be tempted to subscribe to the Shazam list though, if traffic on the list isn't TOO heavy. What's an average day's posts consist of? Send details on subbing while you're at it. As far as the golden age MLJ titles, THE COMIC BOOK PRICE GUIDE, Gerber's PHOTOJOURNAL GUIDE, and Benton's SUPERHERO COMICS OF THE GOLDEN AGE are all excellent resources, and I think I could cobble together a decent list (as far as the major heroes go) using just these for reference. Still waiting for a definitive article on MLJ heroes in COMIC BOOK MARKETPLACE! Don't know who it was who sent the URL for the official MIGHTY CRUSADERS site to Kirby-L, but I visited it and have to say it's a really FUN site to visit. Yes, they have Pow-Girl! Here's the URL again for the benefit of anyone who hasn't seen it yet: http://www.archiecomics.com/mightycrusaders/ Support Archie in bringing us this site!

While I can see discussion overlapping into such areas as Pureheart the Powerful, or Archie's Madhouse (which often parodied the heroes), I would not want to see the list turn into a more general discussion of Archie titles - I'm sure there must be other lists or newsgroups already devoted to that.

Archie's Madhouse had a few during the time "Mighty Comics" were published, but I don't have any kind of exact listing.

Gore) Message From: Matthew H. Gore Yipes, I for one would hate to be limited to super-heroes. Oh, I like them just fine but I find myself getting less interested in them as time goes by. I'm particularly interested in the Purehart period because these were books that I ignored as a kid when I was pretty much exclusively super-hero minded. I also find the Sabrina the Teenage Witch stories to be a hoot, same reason I suspect. The early-1970s Red Circle period has some interesting high points, too, but no super-heroes that I can remember but lots of nice work by Gray Morrow and Al McWilliams and others. Remember SABRINA'S CHILLING ADVENTURES IN SORCERY? Now that title has some interesting history.

Anyone know how the Company was made up at that time? Did Archie function in a fashion similar to the AC-DC system that National once had? Surely, Siegel was not writing Archie Andrews stories while at Mighty...or was he? I do agree, Dennis that our central focus on this list should be the various incarnations of the MLJ Ultra-Heroes, but some topics regarding the creators and the company is bound to stray into Archie territory somewhat. I feel that the Archie Superteen material is a close-enuff cousin to MLJ, but perhaps an "OT" should accompany any posts that might deal strictly with the Riverdale Crowd so that those who aren't interested can bypass it. Is there an Archie E-Mail list? I'll try and find out. regards, Kris ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

Well, I'd hate to see the list strictly limited. I think the solution, as I stated in my letter to Dennis, would be to label anything non-UltraHero as "OT" or "Off Topic" that way uninterested parties could bypass it. I do believe though that the Ultra-Heroes alone should provide a wealth of discussion topics for us and should be our main focus. >I'm >particularly interested in the Purehart period because these were books >that >I ignored as a kid when I was pretty much exclusively super-hero minded. >I also find the Sabrina the Teenage Witch stories to be a hoot, same >reason >I suspect.

Yes, this is also interesting and, just as on Kirby-L or Shazam-L, I can see where the topics can drift into other areas from time to time, so as long as it's labeled "OT" I see no problem. If the "Riverdale" material begins to overwhelm us though, we might consider opening a separate Archie E-Mail List. > >Remember SABRINA'S CHILLING ADVENTURES IN SORCERY? Now that >title has some interesting history. > >Matt > I've never actually seen this particular book, but I believe there was a write-up about it in CBM recently.

Do you prefer the Rainbow Helmet look or the Cyclops look? When I first saw the Rainbow Helmet I thought it was quite strange, but over the years it has really grown on me. I think the Cyclops look would be more effective if they would change the stars on the costume into something similar to Starboy's later uniform from LSH. I guess because I first encountered the character in the Rainbow Helmet, I prefer that look. It's kind of a quirky look, but that's what makes the Ultra-Heroes so interesting...their quirkiness. regards, Kris ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

For that matter, I wanna know why his brother (the Hangman) thought he was dead throughout the 1940s when his body vanished to Other Planet. Oh, I know the Bucklerized Red Circle explained the latter, but not too well. That was something I liked about the 1980s Red Circle/Archie Adventure zines: finding all the Kirby swipes by Rich Buckler.

And how could they not use that COOL costume?! Actually, that is one of the things that first attracted me to the Mighty Comics line; I liked the way the heroes looked. The Shield actually came *before* Captain America, I wonder if The Web came before DC's Tarantula or if Mr. Justice came before The Spectre (I'll have to look those up). Some interesting things about the '60s incarnation of the MLJ heroes just occurred to me: The Shield of the '60s was said to be the son of the original '40s character (his father had been turned to stone by a villain in [I'm pretty sure] an untold story) and the son of The Shield, besides carrying on his father's legacy, was searching for a way to restore him to life. Also, the Hangman, when he first returned, had temporarily become a villain -- I think it was later revealed he was under some evil spell. The Web, however, was still the same John Raymond, criminal psychologist, that he was in the '40s (except now he was married and henpecked by his wife and mother-in-law into semi-retirement). Seems like they were pretty inconsistant about the characters -- howcum the original Shield was old enough to have a grown son, but his contemporaries like Web, Hangman and Black Hood weren't older (or at least sporting a little gray in the temples like the JSAers or the same time)? Also, The Comet (who DIED in the '40s, and was the direct result of his brother becoming The Hangman to avenge hime) was ALIVE again, with a different costume and powers. Seems to me they attempted to explain this away at one point (possibly in the '80s incarnation), but I can't remember now. Enough rambling for now...

Agree with your comment though, that if drawn today, they should attempt to give the blue-black portion of the costume a "cosmic" look. Plus his powers just seem cooler [and more dangerous] in the original MLJ (and Red Circle) version. Wow, distintegration-beam vision! How neat is that? What kid wouldn't want that power?

Actually, that is one of the things that first attracted me to the Mighty Comics line; I liked the way the heroes looked. The Shield actually came *before* Captain America, I wonder if The Web came before DC's Tarantula or if Mr. Justice came before The Spectre (I'll have to look those up)." Gotta agree with you here, Dennis. Those costumes (all but the Fly's and the icky Comet's) were designed in the 1940s and just plain looked cool from Day One. Then again, we're looking at designs by folks like Novick and Kirby (Fly and possibly others). I really liked the Wizard's costume, though he had nothing in the way of a personality or powers in the 1940s. (Lets not talk about the Mighty version before breakfast.) Tony Isabella expressed that his (and I think a lot of our) interest in these guys is precisely because they DO have such cool costumes, not that they had much in the way of cool concepts or great stories. "Some interesting things about the '60s incarnation of the MLJ heroes just occurred to me: The Shield of the '60s was said to be the son of the original '40s character (his father had been turned to stone by a villain in [I'm pretty sure] an untold story) and the son of The Shield, besides carrying on his father's legacy, was searching for a way to restore him to life. Also, the Hangman, when he first returned, had temporarily become a villain -- I think it was later revealed he was under some evil spell. The Web, however, was still the same John Raymond, criminal psychologist, that he was in the '40s (except now he was married and henpecked by his wife and mother-in-law into semi-retirement). Seems like they were pretty inconsistant about the characters -- howcum the original Shield was old enough to have a grown son, but his contemporaries like Web, Hangman and Black Hood weren't older (or at least sporting a little gray in the temples like the JSAers or the same time)?" The scripts for John Raymond definitely called for him to look older, but Reinman never followed through with this. The story of Dear Old Dad being Medusa'd was flashed back to at least once. Sadly, when the 1980s unstoned him, they wrote Shield Jr out of continuity. I thought he had the better costume. It would have been fun to see all three Shields in action: I loved each version of that costume! And with Buckler drawing, we'd have had some really good Kirby poses next to Adams (& Reinman?) swipes in the same panels. Aren't we glad the Buckler pages weren't published in the 1960s/early 70s when just breathing the air at high school would have you mildly stoned? Then Kris (I think) sed: "we don't need any more U.N.C.L.E. rip-offs." Awwwwwww. Does this mean we don't get to discuss the Archie Shadow? Issue #1 was pretty good, with a cool origin text page. And for sheer goofiness, not even the Robo-Man villian could top Lamont Cranston, Secret Agent for whatever it was he worked for.

References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ..that is, BESIDES adding yet _another_ comics mailing list to my over-stuffed in-box. Thanks Kris. But seriously, my first exposure to these cahracters was in the sixties, by which time I'd already decided that I couldn't stomach Paul Reinman's pencils. So while I GOT a bunck of MIGHTY CRUSADERS and FLY in the 3-for-15¢ bags of cover-stripped comics (where I got MOST of my mid-Silver Age stuff), I quickly swapped them for other stuff. So I never really got a clear picture of the continuity. In the early eighties, when Buckler and company brought them back, I picked up all the new stuff and went to the local back-issue bins and reacquired as many as possible of the sixties appearances (this time with covers). But I didn't find the new stuff very inspiring (oops--that's a thread on Kirby-L) and never got around to reading the sixties stuff again before I traded in the whole stack to another comic store. Then the nineties versions of the characters arrived, and they were completely disconnected from previous continuity. While I enjoyed the Parobeck FLY (I enjoyed everything that guy put his hand to, including EL DIABLO), the rest didn't do much for me. I still have a lot of them, because there are no comic stores around here that want them. BUT, a while back I got this "must-collect-Golden-Age-reprints" bug, and scored the FLASHBACK reprints of SPECIAL #1, PEP#1 and PEP #17, and got quite a kick out of the original incarnations of the characters. So what does this get me to? By now, Kris surely can figure it out... I want MORE REPRINTS of the Golden Age incarnations of the MLJ characters! Let's face it, Archie Comics is the king of the hill when it comes to digests, and I'll bet a set of Golden Age MLJ digests would sell okay in the comic stores. Certainly not in the hundreds of thousands like the Archie ones do, but maybe 20,000 per issue to the nut cases like me. And since they're already printing digests and reprints right and left, they probably can better afford to do it than any other company in the business right now. Heck, maybe they'd even do a TPB series like the "Archie Americana" books, where they could reprint their best superhero stuff from each decade! Imagine a Golden Age volume with the original Shield, Comet and Hangman, a Fifties book with a bunch of Simon Kirby Fly reprints, a sixties book with the best of the Mighty Crusaders and a seventies book with... Well, maybe they could hire the BIG BANG guys to create a book's worth of seventies-style adventures for the characters. I dunno--it's Saturday morning and I'm just sitting here wishing I had a few more reprints to read right now! -- Regards, Mark Luebker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

After all, if they changed his name to "The Dark Agent" or something (and renamed his alter-ego), he bears practically no resemblance to the "real" Shadow. About The Shields - father and son, actually the original Shield wore both versions of that costume in the '40s, the costume modification was made in the mid-'40s, so I guess Joe must have inherited the later version (doesn't explain why Dad went back to the older model, though). Now that you mention it, I guess the henpecked Web *could* have read as an older guy, although he (and of course his wife, Pow-Girl) was never really drawn that way. Still doesn't explain Black Hood, Hangman, and Steel Sterling (and numerous others), but -- seems like they were trying to borrow a cue from Marvel with references to the golden age as history, but were (as I said before) really inconsistant about it. They also obviously picked up on the "super-heroes with super-problems" (as the Lancer paperback reprints referred to Marvel's heroes), by trying to give their ultra-heroes "feet of clay" -- poor old henpecked Web, poor perpetually unemployed loser (who's actually an ultra-hero) Joe Higgins, etc. Dennis ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

Seriously Dennis, I've decided that I WILL send you one of those $10 fiche viewers that I bought for myself. I just haven't decided yet which one. (I keep meaning to see which will give me a better image to dump into the computer with my Snappy™, but I want to do it at night and I keep going to bed instead...) And I'm pretty sure that I have one more of those boxes out there (like I used to send Lyle HIS viewer), so the shipping will just be whatever UPS needs to get it to you.

I've run across some interesting factoids by just reading the stuff. Wilbur first appeared three months before Archie, the Hangman never actually hanged anybody as far as I can tell (but Captain Flag did!), I discovered what Paul Reinman was good at, that kind of stuff. Mighty Comics is fine with me. It's how we all know them -- Archie probably wouldn't want to use "MLJ" now even if the heroes were brought back, since the original Martin/Louis/John partnership no longer exists and using the MLJ name might open up a legal can of worms. I've toyed with the idea of a superhero team called the Mighty Legion of Justice to preserve the initials, but realized there would be problems with existing leagues and legions of justice...but if you can't use league, legion, or justice, there isn't much left.

A few years ago, I was getting an Archie fanzine where things took a very strange turn as the issues went by. The woman running the zine/club apparently had trouble realizing Archie Comics is a business, and a small family-owned business at that, where decisions have to be made for the good of the business that aren't necessarily to the fans' liking, and it isn't all cute and lovable characters having fun in sunny Riverdale. The woman got very disillusioned with Archie over time, but instead of finding a new hobby, it sounded like she had turned to harassing the firm by calling them up using fake names, trying to infiltrate as an inker under another name, even driving by one of the staffers' houses and trying to catch him outside. After that experience, the Archie guys might want to keep the hard-core fans well away and just concentrate on the traditional, casual reader audience. On the other hand, that's the seasoned old veterans of the biz, like Richard Goldwater, Mike Silberkleit, and Vic Gorelick, who might be leery of us and maybe a little too high up on the ladder for this sort of thing anyway. As I recall from the Archie website, there's somebody else who seems to be specifically in charge of the heroes. Don't remember the name offhand, but maybe that's the guy to approach as a kind of semi-official liaison. As for myself, I'm not that interested in internal editorial politics. There are things that are strictly the company's business, and I'd rather not pry into them. I'd like to see the company at least tolerate with amused acceptance the existence of a group of fans interested in their costume heroes, and not regard us as a bunch of drooling and potentially problem-causing nutcases prowling the company perimeter. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

I wonder what the Archie folks would consider a great enough return to actually justify a digest of hero material? I mean, what does the number sold have to be to justify firing up the presses? Certainly for relatively small run publishers, a few thousand will do nicely, but if Archie is used to selling a couple hundred thousand copies of each digest then the same few thousand would be a disaster. Who prints the Archie books, anyway? Do they have their own presses, is it World Color, or who? What is a minimum press run these days? I remember Bill Gains saying it was 500,000 in 1955, certainly it must be much, much, much lower than that now. Perhaps the solution is to franchise out the reprint rights. They could maintain editorial and quality control while risking nothing. Ramble, mutter . . . Sorry, gotta wipe the slobber off of the keyboard.

There were the Alan Light "Flashback" reprints back in the early '70s...I know he did Pep #1 and Special (Hangman) #1. Did he reprint Pep #17, with the origin of the Hangman, by the way? It runs in my mind that he did. In the later '70s, a guy named Bob Seppi put a couple of issues of something called "Golden Age Review," that reprinted in B&W a lot of '40s superhero stories, including a Black Hood story from Jackpot and a Wizard story from Shield-Wizard. Any others? (You'd think there would be copyright problems, though I seem to recall that Light did his books with permission from the relevant individuals -- the Seppi books looked like pure piracy.) I was always a little surprised that the Light "Flashback" books didn't do better than they apparently did. For $3.00 you got a good color reproduction of the cover and readable black and white insides. Even at 5 cents a page, you couldn't match the price if you copied a 68-page book yourself on a commercial photocopier, plus you got the color cover and binding. I've wondered if Light accidentally discovered that the people who actually liked and cared enough about '40s comics to want to read them were a minority in comics fandom by the '70s, and the younger fans weren't interested in that ancient, primitive-looking stuff because they hadn't grown up with it and it wasn't part of their childhood nostalgia. You could still get real Golden Age comics for not much more than $3.00 back then, too (though obviously not Action #1, but the later or more obscure ones). I have Special #1 and Pep #17 for real now, so I don't need the reprints, but I've been looking for the Pep #1 reprint Light did as a placeholder, since it'll be a while before I can afford the real thing (if ever). What bothers me is that I had a copy of Pep #1 when I was 17, but sold it off later during a transient loss of interest. Fool that I was... Speaking of High-Camp Superheroes, it printed a long Steel Sterling solo story. If I remember the progression of events correctly, that story was originally prepared for a planned Steel Sterling book that was never published. (I'm basing this on a lettercolumn mention of a Steel Sterling book being in the works. It never materialized, but here's a long Steel Sterling story popping up in a couple of odd places, so the inference seems reasonable.) Although High-Camp Superheroes was a paperback reprint book otherwise, the Steel Sterling story hadn't been published before, so it was a first printing, not a reprint, of that particular story. And didn't they run the story again, in color, in Mighty Crusaders #7? --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

Was that ever stated in Mighty Comics in so many words? The villain-Hangman of the '60s was of course supposed to be the same individual as the hero-Hangman of the '40s. I still remember that flashback panel in a Shield story of the Hangman crashing through a window on some hoods and uttering that deathless cry, "I loathe your evil ilk!" I just don't remember seeing it ever explained WHY he had turned renegade, or WHY he turned hero again for his last couple of appearances. My guess is that the Hangman of the '40s was MLJ's attempt to imitate Batman, maybe taken a step or two further into the gothic realm. One improvement, incidentally, was that the Hangman didn't have to hang out with a teenage boy like Robin. Instead, the Hangman sort of inherited the Comet's girlfriend, Thelma, and she became an unofficial partner in his cases. She never had a costume, but did a lot of the investigative legwork (and a nice set of gams she had, too, Golden Age artists being prone to emphasize that portion of the anatomy) in civilian garb. It was an adult relationship, possibly modeled on husband-and-wife couple detectives in then current mystery novels and movies, and Thelma had an active role in the operation. Now, as far as I know, the Hangman never actually hanged anybody. He had this gimmick of shining an image of the gallows into the face of a perpetrator caught in the act of doing some dirty deed (and boy, could Bob Fujitani draw a shocked perp's face), but it was all symbolism, an omen of the fate awaiting criminals (after they were turned over the law). Of course, if a perp tried to get away and didn't quite look where he was going and accidentally hanged himself on some inconveniently placed rope or wire, well, gosh, how ironic, saves the state the expense of a trial, but the Hangman never deliberately set it up that way. Cut to the '60s. I envision Jerry Siegel and the Archie editors sitting around a table with some bound volumes and trying to figure out what they can use. The Hangman was one of the star MLJ characters in the '40s, but these days, with the Code and all (and with John Goldwater a major honcho in the Code), isn't he... er, a little drastic? Provocative name, lurid gimmicks and imagery? The dilemma was that the Hangman was too good to lose, too gruesome to use. So they made him a villain, but even better, a renegade hero, which makes him more interesting than your usual one-dimensional evil villain of the Brain Emperor sort. Also, by being an ex-hero, they could always reform him if need be (like if that toy deal with Mattel or whomever came through), and say he had been under an evil spell or something. Things never worked out quite so neatly as events progressed, and I don't remember it ever being stated explicitly in so many words why the Hangman went bad in the first place (or why he turned good later), or even if the continuity established in Fly-Man and the Mighty Crusaders still counted for anything by the time later issues of Mighty Comics Presents were coming out. Incidentally, I have my own theory about why Mighty Comics Presents was formatted the way it was. One of the lettercolumns earlier on hinted that Saturday morning cartoon deals were in the works. Marvel and DC characters were on the SATAM tube at the time, and Marvel especially was getting hot, so it's likely that somebody out in Hollywood looking for a batch of characters just like Marvel's to jump on the bandwagon was talking to Archie. Or maybe Archie was pushing in the opposite direction. In any event, Mighty Comics Presents with its spotlight on a different character each issue looks like an attempt to present the appearance of a large company with a large line of books and a large group of established and popular characters, just like Marvel, but with the actual investment of just one monthly book. Mighty Comics Presents looks like a prospectus for characters Archie was trying to merchandise, not so much like a book that was being pushed as a comic book for its own sake. That's just my theory, anyway. And eventually they pulled the plug on even that. Over the years, as I've learned how comic books are produced, I've learned that a book cancelled unexpectedly usually has a couple of more issues' worth of material ready in the drawer, since they have to prepare material well in advance of actual publication dates. Heck, you can see that all through the old MLJ issues (the Black Hood book gets cancelled, then a last few Black Hood stories suddenly appear in Pep). Will Murray did an amazing exercise in comic-book detective work in Comic Book Marketplace recently by deducing what would have been in Amazing Fantasy #16, based on story codes and even changes in Steve Ditko's inking style over time. So I came to wonder if Mighty Comics Presents #51 and #52 had been prepared when the order came down to "kill this turkey." Did that material still exist in file drawers at Archie HQ? Could it be brought out and printed in a digest sometime? With visions of never-before-seen Web and Shield stories dancing in my head, I asked the Archie people about it when I had a chance once to talk to them. I was disappointed to find out that they used up everything with #50 -- there are no unpublished stories in their file cabinets. Apparently they had seen the end coming for some time... --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

I don't have the digests at hand at the moment, but the first contained an abortive attempt to revamp the Black Hood as more of a "real-world" type hero (the revamp was by Neal Adams). Presumably this would have seen print as part of the '70s mystery-adventure group of Red Circle titles, but was never published in that format. The rest of the digest, IIRC, contained more standard Archie Adventure/Mighty Comics reprints.

There had been fear in some quarters last year that with Wizard Magazine taking over the con, recent and "hot" comics would be emphasized at the expense of older comics, but I did pretty well just the same, turning up Special #1 (Hangman #1 in all but name), Pep #17 (origin of the Hangman), and Blue Ribbon #16 (origin of Captain Flag) at reasonable prices. In fact, I did so well last year in that regard that I'm not sure what I could find this year to top it. Well, one thing occurs to me. Irwin Hasen usually shows up at Chicago, and I recently came by a copy of Blue Ribbon #4 from 1940 with the origin of the Fox. Since Hasen drew it, it'd be swell and keen and groovy to get him to autograph it, right? ("What? You don't want me to draw you a sketch of Dondi!?") I'll try to remember to pack my copy of Blue Ribbon #4 just in case... And yakking on this list has inspired me...maybe it's time to recapture my youth and pick up copies of Fly-Man and the Mighty Crusaders and Mighty Comics Presents, instead of trying to rely on my faded memories of reading them long ago. (Though I read and reread them so many times that they did get pretty well burned into my brain cells.) --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

Two, actually: Zambini and Kardak. (Didn't they show up in "Too Many Superheroes"?) Why two similar characters? Hmm...there's probably material for an article about such pairs of similar character types in the old '40s MLJ anthology titles: Wilbur & Archie, Zambini & Kardak, Sgt. Boyle & Corporal Collins. It might have been a case of a lot of pages to fill, and why just get one strip for Pep out of an idea when you can tinker with it a little and change the names and get a second strip for Zip, too? Though they did play up a rivalry between Sgt. Boyle and Corporal Collins and use the similarity to advantage. Jackpot #1 has an amazing double-page spread where the two are arguing over which of their strips in Pep and Blue Ribbon is better. Actually, there was a third magician in a way, though he didn't use magic as such: the original Wizard in Top-Notch #1 - 6, who had a "super-brain" and wore a traditional magician's outfit of evening clothes and top hat with a mask. Then they made him a run-of-the-mill superhero in #7 with a drab purple Superman-like costume and he was never very good after that... --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

(I was married on 31 Dec 73, and remember buying it at the Quik Trip across from our apartment, along with *Super Cops* and *Sabrina's Tales of Really Icky EC Stories*.) It was reprinted in a digest in 1984 or 1985, and THAT version of the Black Hood was used in the Buckler *Mighty Crusaders*. Neal Adams did one or two Black Hood stories for that one-shot. Come to think of it, maybe the digest was reprinted in 1978 or 1979, because I remember an Alex Toth-type cover in 1985 reprinting the guts of that '74 Black Hood. I could get up out of bed and find an Overpriced Street Guide, but it might not be any more accurate than my memory.

I guess I always assumed heroes were all 20-somethings. However, the Shield's origin has him as a boy old enough to be doing chemistry experiments in a scene explicitly dated 1916. If he was about 12 then, he would have been born in 1904. So if he didn't become Shield until 1939 or 1940, he would have been in his mid-thirties at the beginning of his career. He was last seen in 1948 when he would have been 44, still hanging out with his kid kompanion Dusty, and no sign of any marital prospects that would have produced Shield II. If we really want to get compulsive with our continuity, I'd venture the suggestion that Shield I retired at the end of the war and married the girl he'd been having adventures with at the beginning of his strip, and any stories that appeared after that had really happened earlier and were "Untold Tales from Newly Declassified FBI Files." That still makes Shield II maybe 20 at most in 1965. Maybe that's why he had trouble finding and keeping jobs -- no college education. The Web, meanwhile, was a college professor. Perhaps a young one, but that still puts him at about 30 when he started out as superhero circa 1942. If he was born in, say, 1912, he would have been in his 50s in the mid-60s. No wonder he's out of shape, but at that age it's going to take more than push-ups to keep him in the ring with young punk bad guys...though if the quality of villain he's up against is typified by "the Vegetable," maybe he has a chance. In the original '40s Web series, he had a partner in one of his students, a girl named Rosie Wayne. It was a nice touch in the revival to show that in the end he had done the decent thing and married her. Unfortunately, the '40s Web series quickly lost its spark of innovation and turned the Web into a generic WWII-era hero fighting Nazis in foreign countries. Well, World War II was going on just then, but the Web's premise was that of somebody fighting domestic crime (because his brother had turned out rotten), and having him fight battles on foreign fronts just wasn't what he was all about. He would have been much better suited going up against spy rings or black marketeers as well as common criminals on the local scene. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

Other companies were reviving their '40s heroes, so the people at Archie thought it was time to dust off their own set of long-dormant mystery men. The company we now know as Archie began publishing comics in 1939 as MLJ Magazines. The name came from the first initials of the three men involved in the partnership, Maurice Coyne, Louis Silberkleit, and John Goldwater. The sons of Silberkleit and Goldwater are now running the firm. MLJ inaugurated its publishing operations by starting four monthly anthology titles: Blue Ribbon, Top Notch, Pep, and Zip, though the monthly schedule was theoretical at best and each one skipped a month here and there over time. The first comic book from MLJ was Blue Ribbon #1, cover-dated November 1939 (subtract two months from the cover date for the actual newsstand appearance). It had no super-heroes and wasn't even entirely in color inside (some pages had only a red tint on the artwork). Only one of the features in that first issue would survive past the second issue as the contents and feature line-ups were changed: Rang-A-Tang the Wonder Dog, which lasted all 22 issues. Yes, the answer to the trivia question, "What is Archie's oldest significant character?," is a Rin Tin Tin imitation. The second month saw Blue Ribbon #2 and Top Notch #1, both in full color and cover-dated December, 1939, and the first heroes: Bob Phantom in BR and the Wizard in TN. Bob Phantom has a nice costume but seems to be a strange case of the creators not quite having a handle on this super-hero thing yet, while the Wizard didn't have the standard super-hero skin-tight long-johns yet and seemed to be more of a dashing, debonair adventurer in evening clothes fighting international spies and intrigue with his "super-brain." With the third month, January, 1940, Pep #1 introduced the Shield, and now we were getting somewhere with superheroes. The Shield was arguably the first "patriotic" hero (i.e., he just didn't wave the flag, he wore it), predating Captain America, and the first MLJ hero who showed the staff had finally figured super-heroes out. He would last until Pep #65 in 1948 and outlive every other MLJ hero. Finally, Zip #1 appeared with a February, 1940 date, and introduced another top MLJ ranker, Steel Sterling. In addition to the four monthly anthologies with their variety of features, there were several more specialized quarterlies. Shield-Wizard featured solo stories of the Shield and the Wizard. Jackpot was intended to spotlight the star features from each of the monthlies: Steel Sterling from Zip, the Black Hood from Top Notch, and Mr. Justice from Blue Ribbon. To be consistent, Pep should have contributed the Shield or the Hangman, but they had their own books, so a second-string Pep character who wasn't even a superhero got the Jackpot slot, Sgt. Boyle. Later, Archie was added. Special/Hangman/Black Hood. Special #1 was Hangman #1 in all but name. Whatever the hesitation and doubts that led to the provisional title, it was officially Hangman with #2. The Black Hood took over the title with #9. MLJ was building during 1940. The books were evolving, heroes were being introduced. 1941 was a spectacular year for the boys in longjohns. Then MLJ starts to choke in 1942. The introduction of Archie in Pep #22 (12/41) was the beginning of the end of the heroes. Eventually, funny stuff takes over the whole line, though the Black Hood and the Shield managed to last a surprisingly long time with lonely serious strips in otherwise "funny" books. (One fan said the effect of the Black Hood strip in the middle of what had become Top Notch Laugh Comics was about that of an EC story popping up in an issue of Millie the Model.) The story of the MLJ heroes is one of a promising beginning, a short burst of glory, and a lot of unrealized potential. We fans have our regrets, but the people at Archie might say that things worked out pretty well in the long run. If MLJ had tried to get by on superheroes alone, they would have probably ended up like Nedor -- a forgotten dead company today. Archie made the difference and gave them something that has supported the company for decades. National already had Superman and Batman, so latecomers like the Shield and the Hangman weren't enough to keep a company going, but National didn't have Archie. From the ArchieCo point of view, the heroes were good in that they kept the company afloat until the staff found the giant hit they needed, and after that the heroes had served their purpose and were no longer necessary. For the collector, there are approximately 219 issues of MLJ comics with heroes (counting Blue Ribbon #1, since it was the first MLJ ever even without heroes). Blue Ribbon #1-22 Top-Notch #1-44 Pep #1-65 Zip #1-47 Shield-Wizard #1-13 Jackpot #1-9 Special/Hangman/Black Hood #1-19 Several of the titles weren't cancelled exactly, but became other things (like Jackpot became Jolly Jingles and Black Hood became the Laugh Comics that lasted into our time). Top Notch became Top Notch Laugh Comics at about #28 with a mostly funny line-up, finally dropped the Black Hood at #45 and was all funny, then became Laugh Comics for #46-48 (but not the same Laugh Comics we remember). The Shield was the only serious strip in Pep at the end and was dropped at #65 in early '48. Pep was down to bimonthly and then quarterly late in the war and sometime thereafter, which is why a title begun as monthly in January 1940 took until 1948 to reach #65. Blue Ribbon had a very rocky start as the feature lineups were repeatedly revised, and months were skipped at a time, so even though it was the oldest anthology title it had the lowest number at the end. The individual title listings in the Overstreet Guide can tell you more about publishing data and character appearances, but all this should give you a place to start. What, you ask, was the best title and most worth collecting? In my opinion, the true four-star knockout run was Blue Ribbon #16-22. In #16-19, you had Captain Flag, Mr. Justice, the Fox, and Inferno. Then Inferno drops out but #20-22 are still nice, and there are some wonderful covers in there, too. When I ask myself, "Why am I an MLJ collector?", I only have to look at the later issues of Blue Ribbon to remember why. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

The '60s Wizard, in addition to having a completely different costume and looking like an old, balding, white-bearded type (in fact, he looked somewhat like Shazam, with a shorter beard!), was never referred to like The Hangman, as having "turned bad". This could have been a case like that of The Web impostor who attacked Fly Man, of a criminal who took over the identity of the original hero. I checked the books and Dwight was correct, NO explanation was given as to why The Hangman turned villainous or why, a few months later, he was back to his heroic Golden Age self again (other than the fact that numerous readers complained on the letters pages, that is). Most likely I was misremembering the story where Hangman undergoes a prison experiment designed to cure his criminal tendencies (which worked, changing him briefly back into a hero); unfortunately the "cure" was only temporary. Then he returned months later in Mighty Comics Presents, now a hero again, with no explanation, or reference to the fact that he was ever a villain (talk about a lack of continuity)!

I think the most shocking thing I've learned from you is that the Hangman never actually hung (hanged?) anyone, somehow that disappoints me a little. Your theory on Hangman's switch to villian status seems quite plausible to me. Still, from what I can tell from the old Hangman covers, Hangman seemed to be quite patriotic during the war, fighting Nazi's etc. I guess the later editors figured that since Hangman did not wear some version of the star&stripes (like the Shield) it was okay to turn him evil, despite his previous "service to the country". regards, Kris ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

Archie's entire '70s incarnation of its Red Circle line consisted of the following: Chilling Adventures in Sorcery/Sorcery #3-11 (10/73 - 2/75) The Super Cops #1 (7/74) Madhouse #95-97 (9/74 - 1/75) BLACK HOOD *would* have been the fourth title, but the Red Circle line was scrapped before it could appear. So the digest 'reprint' of Black Hood was in fact, the actual first appearance in print of that material. Some of the Gray Morrow material did appear in the regular comic-sized Black Hood title in June 1983, which launched along with the rest of the '80s Red Circle revival of the MLJ heroes.

In his first Silver Age appearance, however, in FLY MAN #33 ("Fly-Man's Treacherous Team- Mates"), both The Hangman and The Wizard first appear as nominal heroes, and after helping save Fly-Man from "The Destructor", are invited to join The Mighty Crusaders on a provisional basis (a one-month 'trial' period). Hangman and Wizard's first assignment is to guard two caverns where the Crusaders are collecting ill-gotten loot from criminals in preparation for returning said loot to the authorities. Somewhat inexplicably (to say the least), both of the soon-to-be ex-heroes are dazzled by greed and each decides to keep the ill-gotten loot for himself. Naturally, after each defeats one contingent of the Crusaders, they fall to fighting each other to see who'll keep the loot. This becomes their undoing, as the fight gives the Crusaders a chance to rally and defeat both renegade heroes. On the final page, however, the Wizard and Hangman, having escaped (though without the loot), announce via one of the Wizard's illusions that they have come to an understanding between themselves, but henceforth both swear vengeance on the Crusaders, and thus begins the career of two ultra-villains. Somewhat annoying to say the least, that such heroes of long-standing could turn evil so quickly and easily (surely they'd have had plenty of opportunities to avail themselves of ill-gotten gain during their long careers?). Other things never explained were the Wizard's drastic change of appearance, and Hangman's acquisition of a mentally-controlled magical rope, and why he's not surprised to see his supposedly-dead brother John [The Comet] Dickering (or why Comet doesn't recognise his brother Bob). My guess is that at this point Mighty's editor and writer were intending all three (Comet, Hangman, and Wizard) to be "silver age versions" (ala DC) of famous Golden Age characters, and not the actual original versions, but later [MIGHTY CRUSADERS #2] they DID attempt to bring Comet in line with his Golden Age version (although completely ignoring both his supposed death, and Hangman's origin as his brother, who swore vengeance upon criminals because of The Comet's death).

See my other posting on The Hangman (my memory is a little rusty, so I've used the opportunity to begin rereading FLY MAN #31-39, MIGHTY COMICS PRESENTS #40-49, and MIGHTY CRUSADERS #1-7). Still missing a couple of books though -- MIGHTY CRUSADERS #4 & 7, and MIGHTY COMICS PRESENTS #47. Can anyone help? I intend to work on a character appearance index for the list when I'm through rereading these, so even just the info on those books would be appreciated.

Thanks for the "Attaboy!" I don't want to take over the list, of course -- I think I've just been overwhelmed with enthusiasm. "Wow! People I can finally talk to about this stuff who might actually be interested!" That "Introduction to MLJ" was kind of my effort at spilling Everything I Know About MLJ. Maybe it could be used as the foundation for a FAQ. I'm sure that if this list continues for very long, there will be people coming along who maybe saw the Impact series or the '80s Buckler versions, but that's all they know about and are curious to find out more about where all this stuff came from. So having permanently posted answers to questions like "What does 'MLJ' stand for, anyway?" might be useful. And it certainly doesn't have to be limited to MLJ. I'd like to see somebody go into depth about the abovementioned '80s Buckler version because at the time it was happening I was trying to pretend I didn't see it. > I think the most shocking thing > I've learned from you is that the Hangman never actually hung (hanged?) > anyone, somehow that disappoints me a little. > A picture is hung, a man is hanged, I think is how the rule goes. In the second Hangman story (Pep #18), there was an Evil Imitator hanging criminals in an effort to discredit the Hangman, and the real Hangman had to put a stop to that. My guess is that the background story is that the editors were worried that reader reaction to a hero called the "Hangman" would be, "What, he goes around hanging people?" so they kind of had to make it clear early on what he would and would not do. A character's second story seems to me way too soon to do the Evil Imitator plot, but maybe the staff felt they had to say something right away. Unfortunately, the story is probably unreprintable now even if Archie wanted to do an MLJ reprint volume (an African-American character named "Anthracite" features prominently, speaking with an outrageous dialect -- although I have to admit that as racial stereotypes go, this is a bit unusual, as the black characters are drawn to look almost like anthropomorphic teddy bears...kind of cute in a way, but unacceptable now). > Your theory on Hangman's switch to villian status seems quite plausible > to me.

But the Hangman was already a "dark" sort of character with a lurid name and shuddersome imagery. A hangman is supposed to be on our side, supporting the cause of law and order, but he's still not somebody you are too comfortable being around. So turning the Hangman to the dark side wouldn't be that much of a stretch. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

That was about late '81 or early '82, and my memory is pretty dim. Carbonaro was talking to the people at Archie about the characters (I was at one of the meetings, which is where I asked about whether any unpublished Reinman stories existed in the file cabinets from the Mighty Comics days), but I couldn't begin to tell you now at this late date about any of the particulars, like what sort of agreement Caronaro actually had with Archie. I don't remember exactly what the deal was with the Thunder Agents, either. Don't quote me on any of this because I couldn't back it up with hard facts, but my hazy memory seems to suggest that Carbonaro had what he at least thought was a legal claim to the Thunder Agents based on some agreement or other with what he thought was the current owner, whereas other parties insisted that the Thunder Agents were actually in the public domain and anybody could use them. Wasn't he threatening to sue anybody who published a competing Thunder Agents book? I also think Carbonaro may have rushed his product out to the stands in order to get there first and more firmly establish his claim to the property, but unfortunately the rather shabby result diminished his credibility as a professional publisher. What Archie thought of all this, and why they went along with it for at least a little while, I don't know. Carbonaro meant well and had big ambitions, but he must have seemed hopelessly amateurish and ill-financed to the people at Archie. Oh, here's a personal side-note on all this. When Carbonaro set up his meeting with the Archie guys (Mike Silberkleit and Richard Goldwater), I got something wrong somehow and showed up at the Archie offices at the right time but on the wrong day. Holy Embarrassment! All I could do was mumble something suitably apologetic and depart. But the receptionist/secretary stopped me for a second and gave me an envelope. "Since you're going out, could you mail this for me?" Of course, I did, but I couldn't help noticing the address. It was a letter to John Goldwater, at his retirement home in Florida... --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

If I read it right, I think the name we want is Paul Castiglia. It also occurs to me that it might be feasible to have Archie mention the Mightycomics ML on the Mighty Crusaders page of their website, as a place for folks interested in the ultra-heroes to go for further information and chat.

You are turning out to be an invaluable resource for this list, BTW... keep up the good work! BTW, you mentioned before about the feature-length Steel Sterling story printed in HIGH CAMP SUPER-HEROES, theorizing it was intended for an intended, but never published STEEL STERLING #1, based on a lettercol mention of plans for this title. I can go you one better, and cite an actual half-page ad for a STEEL STERLING book, appearing in in FLY MAN #34. ("Now On Sale!!!" claims the ad. Seems they were a bit premature...)

Very nice of you to start off by sending us this interesting list of the Archie Super oops, I mean ULTRA heroes! One thing that strikes me is that ArchieCo could really come up with some interesting names for the characters. When I see names like "Green Falcon" or "Doc Strong" I get curious as to what they are about. Still I wonder what the mothers of America would say if they knew that "Mr. Satan" worked for the same company as their lovable Archie Andrews.

One correction I'd make, and it's probably just a typo rather than an *E*R*R*O*R*, is that the Fox started in Blue Ribbon #4 and not #6. In fact, Blue Ribbon #4 is kind of a key issue in that while the title started at monthly, it vanished from the stands after #3 (Jan/40) and came back at #4 (Jun/40) with an almost completely different line-up of features. In the meantime, Bob Phantom, which had been in BR #2 and #3, had been moved to Top-Notch, and I sorta wonder if Blue Ribbon had been officially dead and cancelled for a while before somebody decided to bring it back. > One thing that strikes me is that ArchieCo could really come up with > some interesting names for the characters. > When I see names like "Green Falcon" or "Doc Strong" I get curious as to > what they are about. Well, valuable as the list is, it still needs some checking and sorting. Some of these characters aren't "ultra-heroes" in the usual sense, but just run-of-the-mill adventurers. I just checked Blue Ribbon #4 this morning..."Green Falcon" might sound like a super-hero name, but it isn't. It's a Robin Hood swipe pure and simple. Since Robin Hood is in the public domain, they might have just as well called it Robin Hood. (Hmm...if this is early 1940, what popular movie starring Errol Flynn just the year before might have inspired this strip?) Doc Strong is science fiction, taking place about the year 2040 after a hundred years of war have laid waste to the world, and Doc is a brawny chap trying to start civilization anew on an island. Ty-Gor is about a white boy raised in the jungle by tigers -- later installments of the strip had him found and brought to America, and remind me of that recent Tim Allen movie Jungle 2 Jungle. Still I wonder what the mothers of America would > say if they knew that "Mr. Satan" worked for the same company as their > lovable Archie Andrews. > Mr. Satan and the Press Guardian are a couple of other minor heroes that need some review to see if they're ultra-heroes at all. But if you want hair-raising, you should see "Madame Satan" in Pep. A beautiful woman who really was working for Mr. Scratch and making sure nasty people found their way to her boss's domain. Madam Satan deserves a place in the history books for her being the answer to another Archie Trivia Question: "What strip in Pep did the new Archie strip in issue #22 replace?" Basically, the best rule of thumb is that if a character didn't appear in "Too Many Super-Heroes," there was probably a good reason. Including one very definite ultra-hero, the Red Rube (a very bad Captain Marvel imitation). --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

MLJ's "Madame Satan" sounds a LOT like Timely's Golden Age "Black Widow" (aka Claire Voyant) strip. Wonder which came first? Once again, good job filling in the fascinating background detail on Golden Age MLJ characters, Dwight. And of course, kudos to Mike P. for providing a basic list of Archie's adventure strips to begin with. Wouldn't it be great if between all of us, we could work up a detailed index of character appearances, story titles, etc.? I'm working on doing just that with the Silver Age ultra-heroes right now. I was kind of surprised to see The Web appeared in a mere dozen stories during the Golden Age, given the big push he was given in the '60s.

Like, I really think the Applejacks were "funny" characters (funny hillbillies like Pokey Oakey in Top Notch Laugh, if I remember right), so there wasn't a guy in a skin-tight costume with an "A" on the chest calling himself "Applejack" that unaccountably didn't get a mention in "Too Many Super-Heroes." --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Well, here's something for the Fun Facts to Know and Tell Department. It turns out the name "Shield" was actually an acronym. What did it stand for you ask? Uh...Supreme Headquarters International Law-enforcement Division? No, no, no! Different Shield, different company! (Division of what, anyway? I always thought Stan Lee was really reaching with that one.) But if you want reaching to make the acronym come out right, check out the origin of MLJ's Shield back in Shield-Wizard #1 (and recapped in #2) in 1940 or so. "S.H.I.E.L.D." was a code for the ray & chemical treatment that Joe Higgins's father developed and which eventually made a superman out of Joe. It stood for: S...sacrum H...heart I...innervation E...eyes L...lungs D...derma There's a long paragraph explaining "innervation," and I'm still not sure I understand it -- but they needed SOMETHING for the "i"! Derma is skin and the point was that Joe's was made impenetrable. Sacrum was another one that was a little mystifying.

He was a super-hero so bad that even "Too Many Super-Heroes" discreetly forgot about him. He was...THE RED RUBE! The idea was apparently to imitate Captain Marvel. So we have Reuben Reuben, boy orphan, stumbling on a castle owned by his family, and the ghosts of his ancestors, all named Reuben Reuben, each grant him a special ability that the ancestor was known for. All the boy has to do is shout the magic phrase, "Hey Rube!" and he'll turn into a super-powered adult version of himself called The Red Rube. Interesting costume in that there was no shirt -- he went bare-torsoed from the waist up. The art was by one of the staff "funny" artists, with orphan boy Reuben looking an awful lot like another orphan boy named Billy Batson. Now, you're probably anxious to see a picture of this prodigy. A dealer on the Net currently has the covers of a couple of issues of Zip scanned into his listings, so you can check out Zip #40 and #42 and see the Red Rube cavorting with Steel Sterling for yourself at: http://www.cyberhighway.net/~javaman/ (and click on the "MLJ" category) After the Web's last appearance in Zip #38, a strip apiece of Steel Sterling and the Red Rube shared the book with various funny strips. Then something interesting happened in the very last issue, Zip #47. Evidently to use up inventory, the final issue had TWO strips apiece of SS and RR. And then there weren't no more. "Hey Rube!" was genuine circus and carny argot. If one of the show people got in trouble, say some drunken townsfolk were hassling a clown they caught alone on the backlot, crying out "Hey Rube!" would bring everybody in the show running to the rescue. How MLJ got from that to this with it, I have no idea. How could they replace the Web with this thing? Like I said, the idea was pretty obviously to imitate Captain Marvel, and the Web didn't fill the bill. --DWIGHT DECKER ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

He has a section called "Captain Marvel Wannabes" featuring characters like Fatman the Human Flying Saucer or the Marvel (fake) version of Captain Marvel. Red Rube fits very nicely into that "wannabe" category. What exactly are Red Rubes powers? He does for some reason look rather strange without a shirt. Funny, other heroes seem to get away with this and it doesn't bother me... DC's Martian Manhunter or Quality's Hercules for instance...maybe it's the long pants...visually his costume seems off balance.

I look forward to the info that will be posted in the future, such as the tremendous intro to MLJ comics by Dwight Decker. I started collecting the Mighty Heroes books off the newsstand back in the 1965-1967 era. My interest in these heroes spurred me on to collecting the MLJ books from the 1940's as well. BTW, has anyone ever noticed that the cover to Adventures of the Fly #3 has the Fly reciting the same basic oath (with a couple of minor changes) as the Black Hood did on the cover to Black Hood Comics #9? About 6 years ago I started collecting Archie heroes original artwork in earnest. The material from the Gold/Silver Age is not easy to find, as much of it was destroyed way back when. I have only managed to find one Golden Age cover, but the Silver Age covers have been easier since they all came from two sources. The cover art has been treated rather poorly over the years but at least it is safe now and will be restored within the foreseeable future.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine... Usually, if the topic of ArchieCo's heroes is raised among comic fans, I find myself being looked at as if I had a third eye growing out of my forehead. So I'm surprised to find, not only those whose interest began in the Silver Age, but those who were inspired on the quest for those elusive Golden Age classics. Now a question: Can anyone positively identify the artists who worked on THE SHADOW, FLY MAN, MIGHTY CRUSADERS, and MIGHTY COMICS PRESENTS? While the bulk of the art appears to be by Paul Reinman (inking himself, I believe), there a few stories that bear the earmarks of Mike Sekowsky's work. Most of THE FLY and THE JAGUAR stories appear to be drawn by John Rosenberger and/or John Giunta (and, I think, the first 2 SHADOW issues). Any other noteworthy artists I've missed (other than Simon & Kirby on the first couple of FLYs and PVT. STRONGs)?

I don't have either book, but longtime fan and collector Raymond Miller does and did notice, and he sent me xeroxes of the covers recently to show the similarity. Thanks to ArchieCo's inexplicable reluctance to put issue numbers on Fly covers, I hadn't known which issue that was and sorta assumed it must have been the first. Both covers show the titular hero with his right hand raised and taking an oath, with the oath in a word balloon. The Fly's looks typeset, the Black Hood's is hand-lettered. The Fly is dramatically lit, with the light source seemingly from in front and below, shining up at him. The Black Hood just looks kind of dorky. Both covers assume that a tight hood over the head will fit exactly over the ears and show every detail in said appendages as though the hood wasn't there, rather than just mashing them flat. THE BLACK HOOD: "I the Black Hood do solemnly swear that neither threats -- nor bribes -- nor bullets -- nor death itself shall keep me from fulfilling my sacred vow to erase crime from the face of the earth!!" THE FLY: "I the Fly do solemnly swear that nothing shall keep me from fulfilling my sacred vow -- to erase crime from the face of the earth!!" The later version manages to cut about eight words from the oath by just substituting "nothing" for listing all the things that aren't going to stop him. I think it reads better the short way. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On Jun 17, 8:20pm, Scott Moore hat gesagt: >> I started collecting the Mighty Heroes books off the newsstand back >> in the 1965-1967 era. My interest in these heroes spurred me on to >> collecting the MLJ books from the 1940's as well. That's my story in a nutshell. Hey, you mean there's two of us?! I'm sure that if this list goes on long enough, we'll all have a chance to vent loud and long about everything ArchieCo did wrong during the Mighty Comics "camp" period, but somehow the heroes themselves had some basic appeal underneath. It was enough to make me want to see the heroes the way they were to begin with and started me on a thirty-year fascination with MLJ. I've gone through several collecting phases in the past, starting when I was in my teens (and when I could still buy Pep #1 and Special #1 fairly cheap), but sooner or later I'd need money more than comics or suffer transient loss of interest. I've only been seriously collecting MLJs (again) for about the last two years. (I've wanted these comics for 30 years and now I can have them!) I also want to re-assemble a Mighty Comics collection from Fly-Man #31 on through MCP #50. Some observations on collecting MLJs... 1. The set is finite (about 220 issues). 2. Prices aren't too wacky (that's relative, of course, but because MLJ didn't have superstar characters or superstar artists familiar to fans today, demand is limited). 3. The books are scarce but not impossible to find (if I had unlimited funds, I could have accumulated a nearly complete collection in the two years I've been at this, based on what I've seen offered). 4. Unlike the situation with Golden Age DCs, Timelies, and Fawcetts, a complete MLJ collection is still feasible -- expensive, yes, but feasible-- for a private collector with less money than Bill Gates. A few years from now, as prices go up, it may not be. On the other hand...there are several books in the MLJ canon that are stumbling blocks on the way to a complete set because they are exceptionally expensive (and may drive me to microfiche yet). The most frustrating is Pep #22, whose price is through the roof because it's the first appearance of Archie. I don't care about Archie! I want the Shield and Hangman stories! If somebody offered me a cheap copy of Pep #22 with the Archie story razor-bladed out but with the Shield and Hangman stories complete, I'd leap on it with a glad cry! I was able to get #21 for a decent price, but #22, pretty much the same sort of comic with the exception of six ratzafratzin' pages with the red-haired kid on them, will likely remain out of my reach forever... Other roadblocks, besides the obvious first issues like Pep #1, include Top Notch #9 (first Black Hood), which I've seen for over $3000, and Blue Ribbon #9 (first Mr. Justice). >>About 6 years ago I started collecting Archie heroes original artwork in earnest.>> By an odd coinkydink, I ran across a photo last night that I took in 1969 on a visit to Minneapolis. The photo shows Anthony Tollin (later a DC colorist but then a teenage fan) holding the original Paul Reinman artwork for a Mighty Comics cover. The sticky-onny labels with the "Mighty Comics Presents" banner and the issue and date are missing, but it's a Shield & Web issue with the Shield battling "the Wrath of the Storm King!" The cover shows one of Paul Reinman's underappreciated strengths. He wasn't much at anatomy, facial expression, or storytelling, but he was very good at design. The custom Shield and Web cover logos are part of the art, not pasted-on stats. If nothing else, Reinman was good at title lettering (the "Mighty Comics Group" corner box, which I always thought looked better than Marvel's even though Stan Lee complained about it being a swipe in a Bullpen Bulletin, was his design, I read somewhere). I've bugged Tollin about that cover art in recent years, but apparently he sold sold it off long ago. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

He runs >> the Marvel Family webpage devoted to Fawcett's Captain Marvel. >> He has a section called "Captain Marvel Wannabes" featuring >> characters like Fatman the Human Flying Saucer...Red Rube fits >> very nicely into that "wannabe" category. Actually, I'm not so sure about Fatman. True, the strip was done by Beck and Binder as an apparent effort to recapture the old Captain Marvel flavor, but the character seems a little too different. (There was a house ad in Fatman for an upcoming title called Captain Shazam that never appeared -- that sounds more like a Captain Marvel in everything but the name.) As an outright and pretty shameless Captain Marvel swipe, the Red Rube belongs on the Wannabe page. Oddly enough, the Fly might be considered a Captain Marvel Wannabe, too. The script and concept had been floating around for years, and I recently saw the pages C.C. Beck drew for submission to Harvey, when the character was called the Silver Spider. It's the same familiar story we know from The Fly #1, but drawn in the cartoonier Beck style, the Captain Marvel effect is a lot more obvious. The major difference is that little orphan boy Tommy Troy's mentor isn't Turan of the Fly World but a genie dressed in the clothes of the 1890s (he's been trapped in that Fly Ring for quite a while, you see). Between the Beck art and the genie, the strip is a lot more whimsical than the later more serious, more science-fictiony Simon & Kirby version. But think about it: orphan boy magically turns into a super-powered adult version of himself. It's Captain Marvel, and it's also The Fly as well as the Red Rube. Later, Tommy Troy was made into an adult, so the resemblance to Captain Marvel wasn't so obvious. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

First of all, you gotta love a company which publishes a superhero with the name of "Bob Phantom." I almost expect a "Joe the Magician" to pop up somewhere. Second of all, I really liked "Too Many Superheroes" for two reasons---neither of them the writing or the art (thank goodness). I liked those costumes; MLJ heroes have some coooool costumes. T'other reason is that they used the word "superheroes" instead of "ultra-heroes." I cannot express how much like nails on a blackboard the word "ultra-heroes" sounds like. Just say it out loud. "Ultra-heroes" SKEEEEEEEE! See what I mean? It sounds even worse than the Idiot Minstrel ("That's why Fly-Man is such a big hit, despite competitors' lies. YIPPEE-KI-YAY!"), and I'm one of the only two people in the world who liked the Idiot Minstrel. (The other person must have been whoever wrote "The Final Revenge of Luthor" for World's Finest, because the Idiot Minstrel shows up there with a beard and darker hair.) "Bob Phantom" Heh.

Glad you're here. Not to turn this into Gary Land's ComicArt-L, but can you give us some examples of prices on Mighty Comic original art? Someone on Kirby-L mentioned they had a number of Silver-Age Fly covers...was that you Dennis? Or was it Bruce Lowry? Rudy Nebres did some nice work on some of the Fly covers in the 1980's, imo he made the Fly look extremely graceful. By comparison, Ditko's interior version of the Fly looked rather stiff...that's not to knock Ditko because I really admire his work...I just prefer the Nebres version of the Fly better. Might be interesting to see Ditko do a Fly - Spiderman crossover! Yes, I know, I'm deluding myself!

Well, the concept is a little different, but not much. And if you slimmed Fatman's weight down I think you'd notice that his costume is nearly identical to Cap's except for emblem and color scheme. IMO Fatman fails because he is just not very likeable. He comes off as somewhat of a lazy glutton. (There was a house ad in Fatman for >an upcoming title called Captain Shazam that never appeared -- that sounds more >like a Captain Marvel in everything but the name.) Yes, at one time Mark Luebker told me he knew of someone that may have had some Beck artwork associated with Captain Shazam... Did you ever find anything out about that, Mark?

Yes, I saw the Silver Spider material in Greg Theakston's Pure Images Mag. I liked it, though the Silver Spider looked a little too much like Captain Tootsie to suit me. The visual image didn't seem to fit the character's name. But think about it: >orphan boy magically turns into a super-powered adult version of himself.

I'm at the comic shop right now, and was just flipping through Archie's Digest #157 (Aug. '98) -- imagine my shock when I came across a 2-page ad featuring The Shield, The Web, The Fox, Black Hood, Hangman, The Fly, Steel Sterling, Fly Girl, and The Jaguar (a couple of them hoisting Archie up on their shoulders). Hey, maybe Archie is serious about relauching the Mighty Crusaders? Although the ad is very generic (something like "Comics Are Good Reading") and contains no details, the characters' names are plastered across the bottom of the two pages. Maybe I'll email Archie later today to see if they can provide more info.

According to him, Beck never did any art for Captain Shazam, not even a character sketch. Binder was supposed to be working on something and the Milson comics were even running teaser ads announcing Captain Shazam, but Beck never saw any material or got the word to start work. Apparently Milson was uncertain whether there would be legal trouble with the word "Shazam" and planned on running those teasers for a few months while the situation was being clarified. Beck did work for an unpublished issue of Fatman, which exists and has been printed in the fan press, but Captain Shazam seems to be something that never even reached the drawing board. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

I don't know, doesn't that also mean wife-swapping these days? Course Pow-Girl & Web's marriage has always been somewhat argumentative, perhaps that's just what they need:-) I agree that Reinman draws a pretty woman much like Sekowsky. I think Reinman, in these books, is trying to give us his best Kirby imitation and does come up with something interesting because imo he wasn't able to do a convincing Kirby swipe, so the result is something original. (does that make sense?!?) I guess what I'm trying to say is that if, for instance, you look at Chic Stone's art on "Nemesis" for ACG, you can see that he is "doing Kirby".

I think the influence still shows a little, although his style overall is much closer to Sekowsky (whom I didn't realize, until my recent re- reading of the FLY MAN and MIGHTY COMICS runs, actually did the art for a few Mighty stories). BTW, as an interesting aside, I was recently able to complete my runs of MIGHTY CRUSADERS and MIGHTY COMICS by checking out Four Color Comics' online searchable dabase of back issues at www.fourcolorcomics.com . A brilliant idea whose time has come! All you have to do is type in the title and issue # you're looking for. (It's not a secure server, though, so you still have to follow that up with a phone call to confirm the order and provide your payment information.) > I guess what I'm trying to say is that if, for instance, you look at > Chic Stone's art on "Nemesis" for ACG, you can see that he is "doing > Kirby".

Clearly Giunta's work, while somewhat deceptively simple-looking, upon closer inspection is vastly superior to Rosenberger's. Most of the earlier Giunta issues are a bit on the pricey side (at least in mint), but there are some interesting things in there, like some Black Hood & Shield (Lancelot Strong) team-ups with the Fly, and in the last (#30) FLY issue, the first silver-age Comet appearance in the Fly Girl strip.

It's not accidental that the Tommy Troy/Fly relationship resembles Billy Batson/Captain Marvel. All this ties into the origin of Spider-Man as well... (The full story is in Greg Theakston's PURE IMAGES [#1, IIRC].) Beck's contribution was a character called The Silver Spider, which is kind of a prototype for both THE FLY and SPIDER-MAN. I wish I could recall the details more accurately, and unfortunately I don't have the issue of PURE IMAGES handy... I'm sure Greg T. could fill you in if you email him. Probably there was no need for more than a couple of artists at Mighty, since their output never exceeded 12 new books a year. Rosenberger handled both FLY and JAGUAR with no problem (as well as a few odd stories in LAUGH and PEP), and Reinman took over with THE SHADOW and FLY MAN, adding MIGHTY CRUSADERS when THE SHADOW was cancelled, and continuing on MIGHTY COMICS from #40 on (with just a little pinch-hitting from Sekowsky).

And for the first time, I've acquired a "pedigreed" comic. I guess this business of pedigreed comics started with the Mile High collection. With that, it was a case of somebody who had bought his comics off the stands and kept them all his life in good storage conditions, so you had one-owner, little read and little handled comics in about as good a shape as you could find outside of publishers' file copies. Golden Age comics being so rare to begin with, let alone in upper grades, pricing is condition-driven with enormous differences in the prices between, say, a Good condition copy and a Very Fine copy of the same book. So individual copies in the Mile High collection could sell for multiples of Overstreet prices, and the phenomenon of pedigreed comics was born -- comics in unusually good condition with documentable histories. This led to other "Collections" with colorful names (like the "Cosmic Aeroplane" one) and pedigrees of their own, not to mention wildly outrageous prices. I recall seeing a copy of Blue Ribbon #20 at the Metropolis Comics booth at San Diego last year with a price of something like $2000 because it was from some darned "collection" or other, and I bought a copy of the same comic from another dealer minutes later, in not much worse shape but without a certificate, for well under $200. As I said, I just got a copy of Blue Ribbon #12, answering a CBG ad, from a dealer in Texas. And to my surprise the comic came with a certificate identifying its provenance as the "More Fun Collection." I'd thought all these collections were one-owner deals, like when some eccentric old man expires and the relatives break into a storage closet that hasn't been opened in 50 years and discover his boyhood comics collection, but this was described as a "Second Generation" collection. To put it more succinctly than the certificate text did, some comics collector who acquired most of his collection in the early '60s when Golden Age books were still relatively common and cheap sold out. And because the collector bought the books when they were only 25 years old or so (and not -- gleep -- pushing 60 as they are) and subsequently stored them properly, they were in excellent condition. Not quite as good as you'd find in a one-owner collection, obviously, but still better than the general run of Golden Age comics these days. The Blue Ribbon cover is a case in point. Reds on a lot of Golden Age covers have faded to orange over the years, but the reds on this cover were still *R*E*D*. Why it was called the "More Fun" collection, I don't know (possibly because the unidentified collector had specialized in that title). Also, a term was used in the text of the certificate I don't think I've seen before: "deep runs." From context, I'd guess it means long strings of consecutive issues of a given title. (In my own MLJ collection, I think a string of eight issues of Pep is about as deep as any of my runs go.) Now, why did I buy this book? When I started MLJ collecting, I told myself I wouldn't go nutz with it. I'd be contnet with lesser condition books. And when Showcase New England offered two copies of Jackpot #1, one in Good for $200 and one in Very Fine for $750, I was perfectly happy to buy the Good one. (Then they sent me the wrong copy anyway, but being the honest boob I am -- and knowing perfectly well they'd figure out what happened sooner or later -- I returned it and got the one I'd ordered.) But as a general rule, I'm finding, these books are so scarce that you don't have that much of a choice if you want the book at all. I recently picked up a Fair copy of Blue Ribbon #4, a lower grade than I would have preferred, simply because I haven't seen it anywhere else in any other grade. And I've bought books in higher grades, paying more than I would have liked, like this Blue Ribbon #12, for the same reason. I figure that at this point, the main thing is to acquire a reading collection. If condition bothers me, I can always upgrade a book later if a better copy comes along. If I have to buy a book in better condition than I really need or want, that might turn out to be an actual investment if I ever sell it. (One reason for the wide gap in prices between the various grades is that only the higher condition books are in demand for investment.) Just getting the book in whatever condition is the main thing, I feel. As for the comic itself...Blue Ribbon #12 only has Mr. Justice and the Fox -- Inferno started the next issue and Captain Flag in #16. Even so, #12 has a great cover and a weird, wild, and lurid Mr. Justice story. I may be foolishly squandering my hard-earned on this antique stuff, but I'm having fun tracking it down and reading it. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

A few years ago, a coarse and vulgar chap of my acquaintance, in reference to a married woman we both knew, asked me bluntly, "Does she swing?" Took me a minute to realize what he meant. Something like, "Even though she is legally and morally bound to another, does she take her matrimonial vows so lightly that she would give a loathsome creep like me a few minutes of cheap pleasure without tying me down with commitments?" So I think we can forget "Swinger" as a superheroine name. I recall that at the time the Pow-Girl story appeared, somebody complained in the lettercolumn that it was asking a little too much to expect us to believe a man wouldn't recognize his own wife just because she put a little mask on. (Hey, it's the plot of "Die Fledermaus"! And a Shakespeare play where the heroine in disguise wins back her estranged husband.) > > I agree that Reinman draws a pretty woman much like Sekowsky.

It makes sense, but not everybody agrees. A lot of people hated Reinman's art at the time and still have bad memories of Mighty Comics to this day because of it. I liked the overall look, but even then I could see he was weak in a lot of areas. As I've said in another post, his strength was design -- he could do great title logos and page layouts -- but not characters, anatomy, perspective... (And he'd improved since the '40s!) > Giunta is a good artist who I'd take over Rosenberger in a heartbeat. > Rosenberger did an awfly purdy Fly-Girl, but he had to have had one of the most gaspingly dull styles for an adventure comic ever. Couldn't draw action scenes to save his life. He was Archie's answer to Don Heck -- a good artist in the wrong genre. Rosenberger should have been drawing romance comics with lots of talking head shots and pretty girls. I recently ran across an issue of The Fly (#24, I think). The Rosenberger cover is a dull, dull, DULL courtroom scene that needs three word balloons to get the point across (no wonder even the judge looks bored). Basically, Fly-Girl went berserk and wrecked a shipyard without knowing what made her do it, and the Fly is going to have to get her off as Thomas Troy, Attorney, and not as the Fly. The prosecutor is showing what purports to be a blown-up photo of Fly-Girl wreaking havoc, and it's just a Fly-Girl in mid-air with a couple of snapping cranes and a flying I-beam. Then I saw the cover for a WWII-era issue of Nedor's Startling Comics, with a Schomburg cover of Pyroman destroying what looks like several square miles of Japanese industry. And it hit me: THAT'S what the Fly cover should have looked like! Forget the courtroom scene! The exciting stuff is Fly-Girl wrecking the shipyard, not her weeping in a courtroom afterwards. We're talkin' comic books here -- courtrooms are boring, blowing stuff up is exciting! If the Fly cover had looked like that Schomburg cover, with Fly-Girl in the place of Pyroman, then you would have had something. But Rosenberger wasn't up to it. Even inside the comic itself, his depiction of Fly-Girl wrecking the shipyard wasn't much more than what the cover showed in miniature. Every time he had to draw action, he drew as little as possible, even to the point of visual incoherence because there wasn't enough in the panel to figure out what was going on. Action scenes are dull, badly staged, incomplete, unfinished. There's what I call Schomburg's Law: The cover of a comic book is generally better than anything inside. Unfortunately, there might be Rosenberger's Coollary: If the cover is poor, i won't be any better inside. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

Kurt said that he had been Rosenberger's best friend since their days freelancing at ACG until Rosenberger's death in 1975 (age 57) from liver cancer. Rosenberger got his start in the industry working for Dell in 1940 and did romance, western, and adventure work until the Fly series in 1961. Kurt said that, in part, Kirby had been replaced on the series by Giunta, and Giunta by Rosenberger, to get a DC feel in the books. The Archie editors began to feel that the books should not contain any violence since they hoped to sell these books to the same small children who bought the Archie line of comics. In addition the CCA was run by an Archie executive who wanted to send a non-violent message in his company's books. Kurt said that Rosenberger was sick over the editorial decisions to essentially gut any adventure, action, etc. from the Fly and Jaguar series. Rosenberger had proven before that he was well capable of handling such material in the 1950's and would again in his excellent work for the "Fight the Enemy" books by Tower. But he was heartbroken over the Archie matter and soon lost interest in the series. When DC asked Rosenberger to come work on their romance books it was probably a relief for him. Schaffenberger considers Rosenberger a fine artist who was put in a bad situation. Many art collectors actively collect Rosenberger's originals and pay well for them.

Although I've never heard of the more fun collection, the attraction of pedigree book with a history is obvious, to me at least. There does seem to be something in knowing who owned the books before you did. However, I can't see massive premiums for such items. Surely, near mint is near mint if it comes from the Edgar Church collection or somebody's old aunt Nellie who just happened to have one comic in the bottom of her underwear drawer. In the thirty years that I've been collecting, I've only had a few golden-age comics that I could honestly grade very fine or better. Two of them, WHIZ #7 and CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #16, I still have but I really regret selling a near mint copy of VAULT OF HORROR #13. Who knew it would turn out to be the key to the whole New Trend run? I don't think I've ever had an MLJ greater than very good. Matt Message From: Matthew H.

The vast majority of Rosenberger's work is anonymous ( his ghosting on the Phantom daily strip for example) even when others were signing their work for the same company. Even for ACG his work was uncredited or credited to John R. or John Diehl. The majority of his work for the Fly/Jaguar series (after the first year or so) was indifferent due to his feelings about the editorial direction. So, if that is the body of work I would be judging him by, my comments would be very similar to your own. Fortunately, by the time Reinman came on board the action was back.Archie had learned their lesson on this issue, at least, by then. It may have been campy, but it was more fun too.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Things have been a bit slow on this list for a couple of days, so I thought I'd toss a question out to the assembled multitude and see what kind of consensus we might reach. If any. We've seen that Archie has commissioned some new prospectus-type artwork for their hero characters and run it on the website and in the digests. As far as I know, nothing has been said publicly about what Archie intends to do with the heroes as yet. Does Archie have actual publishing plans of its own? Is it running the heroes up the flagpole to see if there's any interest? Is Archie looking to license the characters out to somebody else? With the success of Sabrina on the tube, is there a thought of trying to market other Archie-owned properties to Hollywood? Who knows? Anyway, let me pose a hypothetical question. If Archie or somebody were to revive the heroes, how would you like to see them handled? As extensions of the '60s Mighty Comics versions, of the '80s Buckler versions, or something else? The '60s Mighty Comics books caught me at an impressionable age. Much as I hated the "camp" excesses at the time, I've always felt there was something good and solid underneath. Maybe it was because the '40s characters were so basically sound (good costumes, good names) that even wrong-headed editorial direction couldn't ruin them. Also, Jerry Siegel was writing a lot of the stories, and this was the man who created Superman, so the underlying thinking was often inventive even if the execution left something to be desired. I always had the feeling that it wouldn't have taken much to turn those books around -- they were _almost_ good, and what made so many "serious fans" hate them was a thin, easily removed overlay of hokey dialogue and caption writing. Take that away, and you have a line of heroes who were potentially a different flavor from Marvel or DC's lines. More freewheeling adventure, let's say, whereas DC tended to be staid, even stodgy, while Marvel's characters had that iconoclastic, angst-ridden approach. I'd like to see the Mighty Comics heroes of the '60s...DONE RIGHT! That's my personal, sentimental preference. However, we're into the very late '90s now, more than 30 years later, with the whole comics field in meltdown. And there has been a lot of water under the bridge since since the covers of unsold copies of Mighty Comics Presents #50 were stripped by the distributor. Like the '80s Red Circle/Buckler revival that published more individual issues than the Mighty Comics effort did. Does anybody remember that fondly enough to want to see a new version take off from it? --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

I saw an ad in CBG for Shield-Wizard #7 and Top-Notch #19 at reasonable prices, and the dealer assured me over the phone they were still available, so I sent off my check posthaste. The same CBG had another ad that included Top-Notch #2, but I was a day or two short on that one -- when I called, the dealer told me it had been sold. Lesson learned: Call the dealer to reserve a book the same day you get the CBG it's advertised in. And calling is necessary: by the time it takes a letter with your check to percolate through the mail system, the book you want will have been sold. Meanwhile, a local dealer who has my want-list dropped me an e-mail to tell me he turned up a copy of Top-Notch #32, so I'll be meeting him at a local coffee shoppe this Saturday to pick up the goods. With #28, Top-Notch turned into Top-Notch Laugh Comics, all funny with the very incongruous exception of the Black Hood, so #32 definitely isn't as desirable as the above-mentioned #19 with no less than four hero strips -- but hey, it's an MLJ with one super-hero in it, anyway. I took a look at the Golden Age/Superhero listings on Ebay this morning, where the odd MLJ sometimes turns up, and found a Top-Notch #16. Oddly, though, a dealer in Uruguay, of all places, was trying to sell a couple of 1945 issues of Super Duck...a character that started out as a funny-animal superhero but for some reason was turned into generic funny-animal capers a la Donald Duck early on, though without ever changing the name. Archie continued to publish Super Duck into my era, and I remember being puzzled as a dim eight-year-old as to why a character called SUPER Duck didn't have super-powers. If anybody wants a crack at that Top-Notch #16, you're welcome to have at it. Bidding in an auction is always a hassle -- I prefer to just send somebody some money and get the book and be done with it. (Thus speaks someone who tried to bid on a copy of Top-Notch #5 a while back and lost out because a competitor waited until the absolute last second and then outbid me by one lousy dollar.) --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

But I acknowledge that TPTB would probably choose the Buckler years to work from, as far as continuity. That's all right, as long as the approach is not the same as the Buckler years-----and there's a strong committment to run the books for three years (totally random number) before cancellation. Give 'em time to find an audience, maybe. The new illustrations (Ayers' versions look good, don't they?) of the MLJ/Mighty Folk were, I hear, done and published to keep them copyrights alive and flourishing, or to remind some folks that Archie still owned the copyrights and they were alive and etc. The note on the website that there is something coming about these folks ---- well, that note's been there a lonnnnnng time, and I'm beginning to think it was just wishful thinking.

If I could have it ANY way that I wanted, I'd want to see it put into the hands of Alan Moore, and let him do a Supreme-type riff on it--incorporating the historical stuff from the Golden and Silver Ages, and telling NEW stories from those eras within the context of the "modern" MLJ/Mighty universe. If not that, then I'd love to see it done BIG BANG style, with new stories done in-period, and the occasional miniseries or special that takes a look at the MLJ/Mighty world of today, a la Big Bang's new (sort of) KNIGHT WATCHMAN series. Either way, I'd be happy to ignore the Buckler stuff and the recent DC/Impact versions. And of course, complete reprints of the original stuff (but you knew I'd say THAT...) -- Regards, Mark Luebker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

Interesting idea having Alan Moore take a shot at the "Ultra-Heroes". (Screeeeeee! That's the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard as someone here doesn't like the term "Ultra-Heroes"--oops I said it again). I'm not sure where I stand in terms of revival; I think I'd probably take whatever was offered. Your mention of Supreme makes me wonder if Rob Liefeld ever considered licensing out the Ultr..er the Mighty Crusaders. I like Fighting American as done by Simon & Kirby...haven't really read Liefeld's version, but from what I've seen, it doesn't seem to follow the S&K "take" on the character.

"I'm not really looking for the Traveller K'Kree book!" I shout to the spiders while I'm looking for Something Else.) I ran across a really goofy superhero spoof I did for Brian Flynn in the late 1970s (an Untold Tale of the Defenseless Defender Before He Got Killed, if you must know) and thought: "Now here's a way to bring those MLJ characters back with a sense of wry irony." Whether I was thinking this with wry irony or considering the scripts be written with wry irony, I'll leave to your judgement. Sort of a 1990's (almost a 2000's) version of camp. As a matter of fact, I'll take that "Defenseless Defender" story and adapt it to, say, the Web, and see how it works. (Why the Web? I dunno. Why is Archie focusing on the Web at their Website other than the obvious pun? Maybe he's the character being optioned for a TV movie?) Cover: The Web stands before a really badly drawn background, and says "Yes, I know I died last issue, but that doesn't stop me from making personal appearances. After all, I had a family to support!" (Previous issue had the Web killed by the publisher of his comic book, that's how bad his comic was.) First page: Someone turns on a 1970s model TV. You can tell it's an old TV; it has knobs you turn off and on and no remote to lose. As the picture's warming up, Bill Tusch is telling us they'll return to WTBS' Incredibly Late Movie "Gidget vs Godzilla" right after these pathetically 1-800 commercials. (We didn't have the term "infomercials" in the 1970s.) The Web appears, looking like an EC corpse in mask. "Hi," he says, "I'm the Web, and you may not remember me, but (Archie/Mighty/Radio/Red Circle/Dead Circle/MLJ/Alan Light's Dynapubs) is offering my greatest hits in one long-playing---uh, one volume." (He holds up a copy of Bad Art Comics.) Now you can own the stories that made me dead. Call now. Operators are standing around." The title appears: "The Deceased Web in I Love Loosely." Second page: "Having just defeated the Human Windshield Wiper in mortal combat, the Web is swinging from fire hydrant to fire hydrant on his daily patrol," says the caption. The Web is remarking what a lovely and peaceful day it is: "not a cloud in sight, air smells fresh, giant rabbit heads falling from the sky, big wheels keep on turnin', proud Mary keeps on burnin', and then a bank blows up underneath you." And indeed it has, for the Desilu Gang is robbing this bank and they ALWAYS blow the roof off. Third page: Web drops through the now missing roof and is immediately rendered unconscious by Ricky's bongos. Ultra-sonics, of course. Fourth page: Coming to consciousness after only three or four days, the Web swings towards his secret storage locker (he can't afford a headquarters) to retrieve his micro-miniturized super-sensitive tracking equipment, which is calibrated to track dyed red hair. His locker is, of course, at Archie Publishing Building, which is represented by a very obvious stage flat. Think the fake town in *Blazing Saddles* but not that good. Miss Moneypenny buzzes him into the office of publisher Johnny Goldfinger. 5th page: Web looks through the file drawers to find his equipment, finds pizza, etc, before finding what he's looking for. In meantime, Goldfinger is berating him for lousy sales anytime Web appears on a cover. "Whaddaya want me to do about it?" retorts Web. "YOU know," says Johnny, "the usual. More violence, for inst--" at this, Web punches out Johnny in a teriffic two-panel action set. Web stands there triumphant, while a word balloon from an unseen (and prone) Goldfinger says "Not ME, you idiot!" ----------------------------- Bus is almost at work.

If these are the Remco figures from 1984, I have the Comet and the Shield that I picked up in recent years. The Shield is still sealed in the blister pack, which is interesting for the Steve Ditko art on the back of the cardboard backing advertising other figures in the series. As to the quality...the arms, head, and torso aren't bad. The legs, though...they're disproportionately short, even bowed, like they were made for some other line of figures and mismatched to these. Those awful legs ruin the overall look of the figures. Somebody was asleep at Archie Quality Control when they gave the approval for these to go into production. As for dolls vs. action figures, the movie "Jingle All the Way" kinda reminded me of a short piece I saw in Reader's Digest once about "retronyms." These are new names for old things where the old general names no longer apply because new things have come along and now the old things aren't the only examples of their sort. Examples might be "Dial Telephone" (formerly just telephone) and "Analog Watch" (because now there are digital watches as well as watches with hands on a dial). To that list, I suppose, could be added "Girl's Doll." What have you wrought, G.I.

It took teeny-tiny Star Wars dolls to really open the market to the (glut?) it is today. I've wondered this for awhile. I got plenty of the large action figures (there were still plenty on the shelf in 1975) for my little brother & nephews when they (the large dolls) were around. They found them OK, but no big deal.

If they could make something as relatively obscure as The Mighty Crusaders, you'd think even Darrell Dane would have a shot a 3-D plastic immortality.

I guess they were able to sell more 3 or 4 inch figures because they were cheaper and you could display more in the same space at the store. This encouraged more variety in the selection of the lines of figures, which in turn, promoted the "collect 'em all!" mentality among kids. Star Wars was simply in the right place at the right time.

So you're just going to have to put with me talking about some more crumbling old funnybooks... I recently answered an ad in CBG offering, among other things, Top-Notch #19 and Shield-Wizard #7 in Good condition. I sent for 'em and they arrived today. It sorta reminded me that these days, Good condition isn't really very. I would have rated them Fair myself. One had a heavily taped spine, the other was missing a couple of pieces out of a story page (it was a Wizard story, so no big loss, but still...), and a back cover with a pin-up of the Shield was missing a large chunk. On the other hand, finding these comics in any condition at some sane price is a bit of a problem. The Top-Notch was from 1941 and interesting because the Black Hood's archenemy, the Skull, who had dogged him for several stories, was finally eliminated in this one. Sent to his just reward via the electric chair. One hot squat in Old Sparky, and that was the end of the Skull. Wow -- closure! Continuity! The Shield-Wizard was from 1942 and featured a three-part chapter story with the Shield versus the super-Nazi, the Hun. There was also a tie-in with current issues of Pep (around #29 and #30). The Shield had just lost his super-powers in Pep #29 and was trying to get them back, and the Shield-Wizard story took place between the stories in Pep #29 and #30. My Shield lore is a little sketchy here, but I believe he never did get his powers back and the whole thing was forgotten later. To the extent there was an editorial plan, my guess is that there was an effort to make the Shield more like Captain America. His costume acquired trunks, Irv Novick was drawing more like Simon & Kirby... So there you have it. The comics' condition was a little dodgy, but nonetheless they were a fascinating glimpse into a time long gone, when some of our favorite characters were at their best. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

Strong], The Fly, The Jaguar, and The Shadow) seem to have any real superpowers in their '60s incarnations. Shield (Bill Higgins), Black Hood, Hangman, Web, Fox and even the '60s incarnations of The Comet and Steel Sterling seem to be distinctly lacking in powers, or dependent on gimmicks like a magic rope, rainbow helmet, antigrav belt, or bulletproof costume (one story even attributes to Steel Sterling a 'bulletproof costume', although others show him going out of his way to avoid gunfire -- the writer[s] obviously forgetting that originally, Steel HIMSELF was bulletproof, hence the sobriquet "Man of Steel"). And we never did find out how The Hangman aquired that magic rope (or why he turned from good to evil, and then back again, without explanation).

Hey, I just got the issue of Black Hood that happened in -- #19, the last one (actually, it became Laugh at #20 and lasted well into our era). If you thought Mighty Comics villains were campy, you should see the villain in this issue. A pinheaded (like Zippy) gang-boss called "Needlenoodle!" (Oh, Chester Gould, what you started...!) On the other hand, Needlenoodle was vicious enough to be downright scary, name and appearance aside. Apparently some non-costumed Black Hood stories were left over after the book was revamped, and they were run in Pep just to use up inventory. (The second time that happened -- some Black Hood stories appeared in Pep around #48, replacing the Hangman but about the time Top Notch Laugh folded, so I guess that was another case of using up the leftovers.) > We are led to believe by "The Origin of the Black Hood" (FLY MAN #35) that > he's spent the better part of 20 years in a phantomlike existence, ala Mon-El > of the LSH (did Jerry Siegel write that one too?).

The story in Shield-Wizard #1 goes into this. The Shield could run fast and leap high and lift heavy. Maybe not on the faster than a speeding bullet or leaping tall buildings with a single bound level, but he was superhuman. Nothing esoteric like flying or X-ray vision, but super-strength might cover it. And it isn't exactly a Shield formula like the super-soldier serum, but more being bathed by rays in a special machine (even though Joe Higgins is always shown puttering about with beakers and test tubes). I'll have to get back to you on the costume, after I check the story in SW #7 again -- I've only had a chance to glance at it. Uhm...wasn't the Shield able to teleport from place to place when he first appeared in the Mighty Comics revival, which was promptly forgotten, or was that another character? (And what happened to that crush the Shield was developing on Fly-Girl?) Oh, and to correct something I said a while back... Early on, there was a girl named Betty Warren in the Shield's supporting cast -- I can't remember offhand if she worked at the FBI with him or not. I would assume that at some point the Shield married her (the only female character in the permanent cast -- why not?) and produced Bill Higgins as a result of that union. If Bill was in his early 20s in 1965, it had to have happened in the 1942/1943 time-frame, even though the Shield was shown an apparent bachelor hanging out with Dusty as late as 1947 or so. When the Eraser turned Shield I into a statue, Joe Higgins was still the Shield -- he hadn't retired. There might be an interesting untold story in there -- maybe Joe retired temporarily at the time he lost his powers -- crisis of confidence, let's say, had a short-lived marriage to Betty that fell apart due to career conflicts, and went back into the hero business with Dusty? > > This is something that bugs me a lot about many of Archie's costumed heroes, > that very few of them (apart from the '50s-'60s version of The Shield [Pvt. > Strong], The Fly, The Jaguar, and The Shadow) seem to have any real > superpowers in their '60s incarnations.

A lot of MLJ's GA heroes were hardly more than streetfighters or detectives with a costume and a gimmick, influenced by mystery stories and movies of the day. (With some exceptions -- like the Comet and the Spectre-imitating Mr. Justice.) Silver Age heroes tended to have more powers, often with science-fictiony backgrounds. You really notice this in the Mighty Crusaders. Fly-Man and Fly-Girl have all kinds of bug-powers, the Comet is a '60s revamp with the powers of the rainbow helmet, and the Black Hood and the Shield are distinctly underpowered. (But remember the Black Hood's robot horse? Yeesh...) Yeah, Steel Sterling fell into a vat of molten steel and somehow acquired its qualities. Incidentally, Steel Sterling had an interesting variation of the secret identity bit. John Sterling claimed that Steel Sterling was his twin brother and his partner in a detective agency (I think it was a detective agency...). ("You say the kidnappers are threatening to kill your daughter if you go to the police, Mr. Vanderbux? I'll send Steel up to your mansion right away!" Click. "This looks like a job for...STEEL STERLING!") What pretending to be two people got him, I'm not sure, unless it was peace and quiet away from the office. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

Oddly enough, while a later version of The Shield (Lancelot Strong) became more Captain America-like (some might even say more Superman-like) -- and why not, since the revamp came from the Simon-Kirby team again -- a later version of Captain America's origin shows him bathing in "Vita-Rays" after taking the super-soldier serum, ironically echoing the original Shield's origin again. Lest we take this somewhat lightly, it later became an crucial plot point, as it was revealed that the "replacement Cap" of the 1950s went nutso because, even though he had taken the same super-soldier serum as Steve Rogers, he had neglected the all-important "Vita-Ray" treatment which had some sort of stabilizing effect on the formula. > Uhm...wasn't the Shield able to teleport from > place to place when he first appeared in the Mighty Comics revival, which > was promptly forgotten, or was that another character? The first incidence of that occurred was FLY MAN #31. While we are never actually shown The Shield teleporting, he pulls one of those Batman/Commissioner Gordon disappearing acts on Fly Man, as Fly Man says "Jumping Grasshoppers! One second THE SHIELD was standing here... and now he's GONE! Yet he didn't move a muscle! Some day I must learn how he does that trick!" (Kinda ironic, considering this was their first meeting [as far as we know...]. The Fly did team up with The Shield [Pvt. Strong] in THE FLY #8 & 9, but Fly knew Lancelot Strong's secret ID, so it seems unlikely there'd be any confusion on his part...) In FLY MAN #32, Fly is curious: "How did you get here before me, SHIELD?" Shield responds: "How I get from one place to another at incredible speed is MY business! One clue: I DON'T fly!" (Kinda touchy there, with your ultra-pal, aren't you Bill?) Later in that same issue, we get the real explanation: "I have a confession to make! I've been able to move swiftly from one place to another, via TELEPORTATION! I can get all of us out of here to safety, but if I use the necessary MAXIMUM power to accomplish this, I'll NEVER be able to teleport again!" And so he does, losing the teleportation-gimmick from this point on. Was it a natural, internal power he had, or some sort of remote-controlled machine that did the teleporting for him? The world will never know. (I sort of prefer the latter explanation, myself. Teleportation is a bit too "way-out" of a superpower for someone calling himself The Shield.) But wait! There's more...! MIGHTY CRUSADERS #3 ("Evil Lurks Amongst Us") contains a scene wherein the Crusaders are squabbling amongst themselves, since they have determined that one of them must be an impostor. After Fly Girl quizzes Fly Man on how they defeated GRQ, the Mad Collector of Worlds, Shield opines: "So what?! A clever impostor, in addition to perfectly imitating our abilities, would be clever enough to bone up on the right answers about the one he's imitating!" Black Hood takes exception to his remark: "Let's see how good YOU are at answering quizzes! When we had our recent reunion, after years of separation, YOU had the ability... briefly... to TELEPORT! You couldn't do that, years ago! Where'd you suddenly gain that fantastic ability from?" (Undoubtedly voicing the unanswered musings of thousands of fans.) Shield replies: "From my fairy godmother, maybe?" A fight ensues, as the Shield avers: "I don't have to answer any questions from a fellow CRUSADER or anyone else, if I don't want to...!" Purely an aside, but Shield's smart-alecky remarks in this sequence [there are plenty more] seem to cast him as the likely impostor. Of course it's all a red herring, as the REAL impostor is revealed to be... ah-ah! You'll have to read the issue to find out! :-) > (And what happened to that crush the Shield was developing on Fly-Girl?) The Comet, the Black Hood, and the Shield ALL evinced some interest in Fly Girl at one time or another. (And who can blame them, since in her everyday identity, she was gorgeous film actress Kim Brand? Besides, in the Mighty Universe of ultra-heroes, she was sort of the only game in town. Oddly enough, Fly Man [or Tom Troy] never seemed to show much interest in her romantically, although she seemed to have a few passing thoughts about him.) None of these crushes ever amounted to anything but a few thought balloons. Later, Bill Higgins got some attention from other women like Tina Winslow, a rich heiress who proposes marriage to the Shield upon first meeting him. As he leaps away, the Shield thinks: "I've got a feeling Tina is serious about dragging me to the altar!" (He couldn't have been more wrong -- we never saw Tina again.) Finally there was a running subplot featuring Nancy Zenith, owner of the Zenith Employment Agency, who has a soft spot for hard-luck Bill Higgins. Nancy, at least, appeared several times.

The Shield got trunks and Irv Novick tried to draw like Simon & Kirby??? What an odd style that must have looked like!

The Mighty Comics revival of the Shield used the second version of the Golden Age Shield's costume. The first, original version didn't have trunks, but was just that beltless striped body-suit. When the Shield was revamped around Pep #29 and #30 into what MLJ was billing as "the New Shield," trunks were added. There had been some other minor changes over time. Novick started out drawing the boots with almost elf-like pointed toes, but sooner or later he went to a more normal boot shape. Also, judging from Novick's cover for Pep #1, the part of the costume over the torso was originally conceived as a literal shield, a shield-shaped tank, in effect, that fit over the body, but that soon became mere form-fitting costumery. Over the first couple of years, there was noticeable confusion and inconsistency about whether the mask just fit over the face and left the neck bare, or if it extended down from the face over the neck and joined the costume. The cover of Shield-Wizard #1 is particularly obvious about the problem: the artist drew the line indicating the top of the mask above the eyes, but there is no ink line showing the bottom of the mask. It looks like the colorist arbitrarily cut off the blue of the mask at the jaw line and colored the neck below flesh, when the artist intended no such thing. >From what I can see looking at the comics I have, the confusion went on for many months, like the artist and the colorist were working at cross-purposes and not talking to each other. With the advent of the new costume design, it seems to have been settled once and for all that the mask did include the neck. Good thing, too -- that bare neck was a jarringly wrong note for the costume. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

I'm pretty much a "complete and readable" kind of collector myself, but I have to admit that there's nothing quite like the feel and thrill of a comic in the higher grades. Just as I've sometimes bought a Poor condition comic if it was rare enough that I might not see it offered again in any condition at all any time soon, I've sometimes bought one in Fine or Very Fine for the same reason. I've never really regretted paying the extra premium -- it's just so nice to have a comic in decent shape, with solid binding, vivid colors, and white pages. (Besides, it's the comics in the higher grades that I have a chance of selling for something like what I paid for them if the need arises.) Overstreet's numerical system was supposed to make grading less arbitrary and more objective, but it still seems like one dealer's Good is another dealer's Fair. And there's been grade inflation -- somebody pointed out to me a while back how Good has deteriorated to include more and more defects over the years, which can be seen just by tracking the Overstreet Guide. It's getting to the point that Good is any comic book that isn't just a plastic bag full of brittle brown paper chips... Golden Age pricing is really condition-driven because of scarcity. A small difference in grade can result in enormous differences in prices between two copies of the same book, sinply because higher-grade copies are so rare and it's the higher-grade copies that investors and speculators want. If you're nuts enough to collect Golden Age comics for some reason other than investing (like you actually want to read the stories), going for lower-grade copies seems like the only sane course (unless you're Bill Gates) because prices drop dramatically. Unless you've got a dealer who's trying to squeeze high prices out of low-grade comics. Such dealers are to be avoided like the proverbial plague. Then there was the dealer I ran across who seemed to be overgrading his comics but charging the proper price for the condition they were actually in. Unethical (probably counts the same as false advertising), but not as unethical as overgrading and charging at the false grade. --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

These problems persisted into the Silver Age, as there seemed to be confusion in the early issues of FLY MAN as to whether Shield's mask was red or blue (somebody must have dug up a Golden Age story of the Shield, as they eventually and correctly settled on blue). BTW, The Shadow had the exact same problem at around the same time (his mask changed from blue to green - and back again - from issue to issue), plus his shirt and leggings varied from light blue to dark blue (even purple, on one cover).

Pfehh! Hang on half a minute. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a numerical grading system and Bob Overstreet hardly invented it, it being yet another element of comic collecting lifted from coin and, to a lesser degree, stamp collecting. Now, the fact does remain that the average comic book retailer doesn't know beans about the numerical system and can't use it worth a damn nor can the average collector. It seems to me that in "our" obsession with near mint/mint and with relative value that the definitions of ALL grades have been blurred. The "good" grade in 1998 simply doesn't mean the same condition that "good" did in, say, 1975. Hey, remember the days when there were two conditions, collectable and uncollectable?

FLY MAN was the only "Man" character the company had, and it seemed like *all* of the characters' names were "THE (something)", like THE Jaguar, THE Web, THE Shield, THE Fox, THE Comet, THE Black Hood, and THE Hangman (I guess it depends on how you look at that one). I also liked it that as Fly Man, he could shrink and grow (kinda like Hank Pym), which he never could as The Fly. Then again, my reading of THE FLY was sort of casual and sporadic, and it wasn't until it became FLY MAN that I actually collected and saved the book. Also, since it tied in so heavily to their Golden Age revivals, I just had to like this version.

I'd seen & read some of the Bernstein-Rosenberger FLYs as a little kid, and remembered them along with JAGUAR, but they had made no great impression on me. So, the Siegel-Reinman FLY MAN was far more "real" to me at age 9 than the earlier version. Coincidentally, during this period and for the next few years, I also preferred Marvel comics over DC whenever I had a choice, and I don't think it's coincidental that the "Archie Adventure Series" phase was clearly modelled on Weisinger's editorial approach, whereas the "Mighty Comics Group" phase was modelled on the Stan Lee approach (and somewhat ironically, since they utilized one of Weisinger's former key writers!)

If anything, though, there seemed to be an unusually large number of Nedors on the Golden Age dealers' walls. The recent death of Alex Schomburg, who did so many covers for Nedor, may have sparked some new interest. As for MLJs...there seemed to be fewer than last year, when I scored some major finds at decent prices. This year, MLJs were harder to find. Prices were generally about what might be expected, based on the new Overstreet, actually relatively reasonable if you're willing to settle for a lesser grade. I passed up a Zip #28 (origin of the Web) in excellent condition because the dealer had it marked at $1400 (!); knock a grand off and it's still more than I'd want to pay. Another dealer wanted to sell me a Pep #24 in fairly ratty shape for $500; I think this is a dealer in the Clueless Zone. Unfortunately, probably The Find of the convention came after I had maxed out my budget. A dealer had a professionally bound hardcover collection of Zip #19 through 24 for $350. That's less than $60 each for Zips that include the origin of Blackjack (#20). You pay $60 for later Zips with just Steel Sterling and the Red Rube. The dealer was too low-level to take Visa and I didn't have that much cash, so... Anyway, what I did come home with included Black Hood #9 (first issue), Pep #11 (first Dusty -- his costume is colored differently in the story than it would be in later issues or even on the cover of this one), Pep #44 (condition wasn't great but the price was right -- Wonderfully wacky Hangman art by Bob Fuje), Shield-Wizard #11 (professionally restored to look in great shape for a Good price), and Zip #45 (the Web's gone, the Red Rube has the cover spot, but at least there's a Steel Sterling story). My greatest disappointment was that Irwin Hasen wasn't to be found this year. I'd hoped to get him to autograph my copy of Blue Ribbon #4 (first Fox). So that was Chicago. Next month, San Diego! --Dwight Decker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

The ATM at the Rosemont convention center ran out of money before Saturday was over. ATMs at surrounding hotels were reported to be out, too. I even walked over to the Holiday Inn down the street when I was told its ATM might be still functioning. Unfortunately, the guy in front of me couldn't make the ATM accept his card at all, and the machine kept insisting that it couldn't make contact with my bank. (Darn. I knew I shouldn't have gotten my checking account at the Bailey Building and Loan, but George looked like he needed the business...) Some Golden Age dealers are part-timers, and deal strictly in cash. Maybe they don't want Uncle Sam to know about their little side business. I got a nice Shield-Wizard #11 after the ATM ran out mainly because the dealer agreed to take a check, and even then he needed to see my driver's license and copied down some data so he could come after me if the check bounced. The big guys, of course, like Harley Yee or Showcase New England, are strictly professional and take credit cards, no problem. Yee had a Good copy of Hangman #3 that I bought to replace a copy I had at home in pretty foul condition. But I already deal with Yee through the mail. I had to wonder if I really needed to go all the way to Chicago to buy the comic from him in person, or if he had to go from Detroit to Chicago to sell it to me, with all the attendant expenses... --Dwight DEcker ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, email to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com To subscribe, email to mightycomics-subscribe@makelist.com -- Start a FREE E-Mail List at http://makelist.com !

I ordered some books (Silver-Age Mightys) from them through their online searchable database (which is a brilliant, but simple idea, IMHO), and was quite happy with the service and the condition from them. I was wondering how good they were on Golden Age stuff.

It was missing a centerfold, a couple of other pages had been ripped out, and the cover was completely detached and in two pieces. Furthermore, the cover was torn and had stains and discoloration from tape. It was not pretty. The copy I bought was just a Good one that was at least complete. As for what I'm doing with the old one, I thought I'd just give it outright to old-time fan Ray Miller, who'd asked me for a color xerox of the cover. It's easier to just send him the whole thing than go out and get a xerox made. My impression is that there is a market for lesser-grade Golden Age comics. Dealers have asked me to think of them if I upgrade since people do buy lesser-grade comics for reading copies. If you're not rich or a condition fanatic or buying for investment, it's the only way to go, really. Minor differences in grade can translate to hundreds of dollars in the prices of two copies of the same book. Also, I know of at least one dealer who buys partial copies of Golden Age comics for the parts so he can use them to make whole copies. It's just that the abovementioned Hangman is too far gone for anything. On my Replace list are a couple of coverless Top-Notches and a Pep #15 that's in fairly wretched shape, but that's about it.

I have the Shield and and the Comet, and the cardboard backing of the blister pack shows drawings (by Steve Ditko!) of Web, Fox, and several villain figures as well. The figures are collectible because they're at least SOMETHING in the line of Mighty merchandise, but esthetically leave much to be desired. Speaking of Mighty merchandise, I seem to have a vague recollection of a Mighty Crusaders board game in the '60s, as about the only licensed product there ever was of the Mighty Comics version of things.

Buzzard and Sting were created solely for the toy line, and were slipped into the MIGHTY CRUSADERS #11 just to justify their existance. (Buzzard is a shameless ripoff of Marvel's Vulture character, and Sting of course is the ex-lead singer of The Police , actually he kinda looks like an evil version of the Fly.)

Jerry didn't create the Wizard either, although he did turn him into a villain with sorcerous powers which he never had as a hero during the golden age.

Urk! No, I forgot that little detail, Dennis! You sure know your "Mighty History". Of course, Siegel still remains the creator of the "persona" and probably coined the name "The Deathless Smiler". It's my feeling that Siegel most likely had a lot of characters locked up inside him but was loathe to deliver after his experience with Superman. Btw Did you ever read Jerry's "The Starling"? I liked that. Steve Gerber told me that he thinks Jerry wrote a few more stories in that series that were never drawn up. I would like to get a complete listing of the characters Siegel created while at "Mighty". Siegel's creative talent I think is often underrated. He is usually asscociated with creating only a handful of characters. IMO Jerry Siegel is NOT Martin Nodell. ( No slam at Marty, who is a great and talented guy imo, he's just not as prolific). Jerry didn't >create the Wizard either, although he did turn him into a villain with >sorcerous powers which he never had as a hero during the golden age.

Yes, but isn't "The Deathless Smiler" a very unique name? For some reason I have remembered it all these years.

I found this in "Comic Source" #18: The first issue of the comic book Captain Shazam, by Otto Binder and C.C. Beck was announced to appear Oct, 1967, from Milson (at one time, there was talk of the series being a backup feature in Milson's Fatman comic book). Captain Shazam was really Steve Thomas, Agent Six. Six agents were killed in the line of duty (one man named Simmons, another Harvey, another Anderson, and so on until Shazam is spelled). Somehow, they are combined into Captain Shazam. Binder wrote at least two stories with the character, but Beck delayed illustrating them because he was too busy with a lucrative advertising account. Also, Milson was having distribution problems, and, fans weren't buying 25 cent comic books featuring unfamiliar heroes. Apparently, Beck wasn't too happy with the scripts, since they seemed to resemble The Man from U.N.C.L.E. more than super-hero themes. Anyway, the character never left the drawing board. © Jim Korkis ----- any mistakes in spelling are mine.

Back in Blue Ribbon #16 (1941), a young man named Tom Townsend came out on the short end of a fight with a master villain called the Black Hand, who had murdered Tom's father. Tom was nursed back to health by a giant bald eagle, and one day, for no particularly good reason, the eagle brought him an American flag in its beak. You can almost see the origin coming: "A flag! That's it! It's an omen! I shall become a FLAG!" Actually, his line was: "This is a symbol of my destiny -- a destiny I vow to fulfill!" And thus he became Captain Flag. He could have been Captain Eagle just as easily: the white top of his mask/helmet is feathered and seems to be a simulation of a bald eagle's topmost member. As far as I know, Captain Flag was just strong and athletic, and did not have any super-powers. He couldn't have beat up the Shield when the Shield had super-powers, and even after the Shield lost his powers, the Shield probably could have beat Captain Flag just on the basis of experience. Captain Flag lasted seven issues of Blue Ribbon and expired when the book did at #22; he fought the Black Hand several times and finally avenged his father in the last story. MLJ apparently had some big expectations for Captain Flag, as the cover of Blue Ribbon #20 in particular has a CAPTAIN FLAG logo bigger than the Blue Ribbon Comics logo and it could easily be mistaken for an issue of Captain Flag Comics. There were signs the book was in trouble, though, and it was the first of MLJ's initial four anthology comics to bite the turf, barely making it into 1942. --Dwight Decker ____________________________________________________________________ List Site: http://www.findmail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, send to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com FREE group e-mail lists at http://www.findmail.com From chet-el@juno.com (Chester L Cox) Thu Sep 3 12:12:13 1998 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@findmail.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@makelist.com Precedence: list X-URL: http://www.findmail.com/list/mightycomics/ X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@makelist.com Reply-To: mightycomics@makelist.com Delivered-To: listsaver-findlist-mightycomics@makelist.com Received: (qmail 20540 invoked by uid 7770); 3 Sep 1998 19:12:10 -0000 Received: from x4.boston.juno.com (205.231.101.22) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 3 Sep 1998 19:12:10 -0000 Received: (from chet-el@juno.com) by x4.boston.juno.com (queuemail) id DM9A6J2S; Thu, 03 Sep 1998 15:11:29 EDT To: mightycomics@makelist.com Date: Thu, 3 Sep 1998 11:21:59 -0600 Message-ID: <19980903.131045.19750.3.Chet-EL@juno.com> References: <19980903165408.7936.qmail@hotmail.com> X-Mailer: Juno 1.38 X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 2-3,5-9,11-39 From: chet-el@juno.com (Chester L Cox) Subject: Re: [mightycomics] Is this thing still on?

I suppose my eventual goal is to have the entire set of all 219 Golden Age MLJ comics with costume heroes. Thanks to a quick raid on the San Diego comics convention last month, I got a little closer to the goal. Frinstance, I picked up Pep #60 and #65, really late in the history of MLJ. Pep #60 saw the last Black Hood story of the Golden Age (when they killed the Black Hood comic, they apparently had some inventory stories left and ran them in Pep to use them up). By this time, the Hood wasn't even in costume -- after his secret identify was exposed, he set up as a plainclothes private detective (though his firm was known as "the Black Hood Detective Agency" and had a picture of his hooded head from his costume days as a company symbol). Pep #65 was the last appearance of the Shield, and came out in late 1947 (cover-dated January, 1948). After that, MLJ was dead, dead, dead. In terms of more classic MLJ, the prize of my acquisitions was Hangman #6, which I stumbled on almost by accident. And there was a Pep #10, in rather poor shape as it had been extracted from a bound volume of Peps, but it was cheap, and books like that you learn to pick up whenever you see them no matter what the condition. So it was a fairly successful expedition, MLJ-wise. I have a feeling, though, that some years down the line, even if this MLJ collecting mania continues, I will never manage a complete set. Pep #22 will forever elude me. Somebody was recently offering that in CBG for $1400 for a copy in restored Good, so it's priced way out of my range already. And I don't even ratzafratzin' care about the First Appearance of Archie! If somebody offered me a copy of Pep #22 with the Archie story razor-bladed out but the Shield and Hangman stories complete, at some less than insane price, I would shout halleluia! and seize it at once! --Dwight Decker ____________________________________________________________________ List Site: http://www.findmail.com/list/mightycomics/ To unsubscribe, send to mightycomics-unsubscribe@makelist.com FREE group e-mail lists at http://www.findmail.com From Positronic@aol.com Fri Sep 4 11:29:27 1998 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@findmail.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@makelist.com Precedence: list X-URL: http://www.findmail.com/list/mightycomics/ X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@makelist.com Reply-To: mightycomics@makelist.com Delivered-To: listsaver-findlist-mightycomics@makelist.com Received: (qmail 15577 invoked by uid 7770); 4 Sep 1998 18:29:25 -0000 Received: from imo28.mx.aol.com (198.81.17.72) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 4 Sep 1998 18:29:25 -0000 Received: from Positronic@aol.com by imo28.mx.aol.com (IMOv16.1) id XDKVa24184 for ; Fri, 4 Sep 1998 14:22:58 -0400 (EDT) From: Positronic@aol.com Message-ID: <31cb9202.35f03002@aol.com> Date: Fri, 4 Sep 1998 14:22:58 EDT To: mightycomics@makelist.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 3.0 for Windows 95 sub 18 Subject: Re: [mightycomics] Is this thing still on?

Hey, Dwight, thanks for the great recounting of Captain Flag's origin. Your's was a little more believable than Chet's (though Chet's version might have sold better) so I've decided that your version is of course the correct one;-) I find Captain Flag's costume interesting. It seems very few "patriotic" characters ever went in for capes...some of the gals did...but I don't think Captain America would be caught dead in a cape (and I don't recognize "Nomad" as being an acual part of Cap's "real" history") I once wrote an unpublished article for Mark Luebker's "The Amazing World of Simon & Kirby" fanzine where I spoofed the fact that most of S&K's characters...being real men....refused to wear capes. Of course, Stuntman wore a cape...but he was a hollywood type and everybody knew that Stuntman was a sissy:-) Is Captain Flag a sissy? Well, according to Chet, he can't even beat up Speedboy! Draw your own conclusions.

Well, I really wish Archie would tryout a monthly reprint digest, and see if there is a market for them. Archie seems afraid to do anything with them. >************************************************ > Visit Glass City: The Wretch Homepage > The Official Phil Hester Website > http://users.dwx.com/cspicer/thewretch.html >************************************************ >************************************************ Phil Hester?

I don't consider the DC versions to have any relation to the MLJ/Archie universe. I could have written better story/plot lines than DC did wit these terrible and confusing books.They @ Dc just didn't get it,or didn't care.Or maybe they thought in their smug postion tat they knew better.Go figure. If Archie were to try again,they should look towards people who really have a feel for the golden age and silver age. And in addition to that,people who are not the "fanboy" type,but realise what mad comics fun to begin with:Fun,Wholesomeness,and niavity. After all thats what made the golden and silver age so enjoyable to read.Obviously in these dark and gritty modern day books now being published,no one seems to get this point.No wonder comic sales are shrinking to nothing!Comics have gone from selling 100,000's of books to,oh whats the minimum to keep a book afloat now? 18,000 or so?What is this all about. Soon modern comics may go the way of 78 rpm vynal records and 8 track tapes! Anyway sorry to rant @ you.THanks for the note.see you soon @ the site.

Well, I really wish Archie would tryout a monthly reprint digest, and see if there is a market for them. Archie seems afraid to do anything with them. >************************************************ > Visit Glass City: The Wretch Homepage > The Official Phil Hester Website > http://users.dwx.com/cspicer/thewretch.html >************************************************ >************************************************ Phil Hester?

Questions, Questions, Questions? An interesting aspect of collecting the MLJ/Archie superhero books is the collection of the original art produced for the books. As for the Golden Age MLJ material, an occasional stray interior page does show up. The earliest page I know of is from Pep #2. There is only one original cover that I have heard of to exist, the cover to Pep #30 by Bob Montana. As to the 1960's series, a number of complete Jaguar books of art do exist, as many as 3 or 4. A number of covers from the 60's series have shown up, all by Rosenberger or Reinman. I have the following original art covers in my collection: John Rosenberger: Adv. of the Fly #15,16,17,20,22,23,24 Adv. of the Jaguar #3,4,5 Paul Reinman: Fly-Man #39 Mighty Comics #47,49 There may be a few outside of the ones in my collection, but I don't know of any.

I for one would die for the cover art for the Mighty Crusader's # 4,or any of the interior art for that same issue. On a side note,what I do for my main hobby is to draw Golden Age characters for my own benefit and enjoyment.I'm not a pro by any means,but it is still fun to do. To date I have drawn close to 650 or so characters,of which i have color-coded about 400 or so.In fact my next major drawing project is the MLJ characters,I've got sketches done on all the ones that I have visual refferences for.I am lacking about 6 or 7 characters though,that I have no visual ref. for. Anyway it was kind of you to drop me a "note" my way. Thanks, & yak @ ya soon!

The free wheeling devil may care fun attitude should remain though.And if Archie were to try one more time they should stick to what they do best:clean,wholesome,fun entertainment with none of the dark gritty realism that is choking current comics of today.I think DC and Marvel have done no justice to their golden and silver age heroes for probably the last 10 to 20 years,yet they keep feeding on the bones of these great characters and seem incapable of producing anything that has any lasting impact (no pun intended).Name a character or two of the last 10 to 15 years thats bigger than anything since 1969.Anyway back to the subject @ hand. A jerry ordway art style with a big bang writing feel would be the ideal.And the idea is that it should be fun and innocent to read plus showing the 2 "big guys" how it could be done.Thats just how I feel anyway.Thanks for the space to write. ----- See the original message at http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/?start=102 -- Free e-mail group hosting at http://www.eGroups.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

Well the more the merrier. Welcome, Stan, glad you're here. As to the Archie revival statement, it's my understanding that the statement on the web page has been posted there for a looong time. Still one can hope. Some talk on the Kirby list indicates that ArchieCo has some unused material of fairly recent vintage sitting in storage. Perhaps it will eventually see the light of day.

But my theory is this: Archie has done business two ways, 1) they jump on the "hot" bandwagon of the moment (see sonic hedgehog as an example of this).Or, 2) they get into the market when it looks like the competition is falling on it's collective face (the 80's Archie series is the example here).Or, 3) they want to see if there is any licencing money to be made off their characters (the toys @ the end of the 80's run when the books were being cancelled, and the licencing deal with DC in the early 90's).So what is Archie up to this time is really anyone's good or bad guess.To bad we can't get an interview/statement from the powers that be @ Archie.At least thats what I feel anyway!I'll yak @ ya soon.

Second- I'm really happy to hear Archie has actually done something with the great Mighty Guys characters.It's too bad that they don't just go for it one more time! You know what made comics for me? It was the innocent fun,the Clean stories,and the respectfull attitude that the heroes of the 60's had that is sadly lacking in today's dark gritty realistic books.I very rarely buy anything new any more, I refuse to support this feeding of the bones of the silver and golden age characters that exist @ DC AND MARVEL today.I know you can't go home again,but you can try to create a brighter future,rather than giving in to the apathy of the day.Well enough whinning for today!I'll yak @ ya soon.

Here's what I can tell you: 1) It IS cool to be able to read comics that aren't available anywhere else. So far I only have one set--the revival of the Torch, Captain America and Sub-Mariner in YOUNG MEN and MEN'S ADVENTURES from the early fifties--and only about half of those have ever see (re)print elsewhere. 2) You get to see the whole comic, ads, text features and all. I like that better than just getting a random story here and there. 3) The images on the fiches were NOT shot from comics in mint condition. There is tape visible on some covers, and occasionally the way the photo of a page was cropped, it actually cuts off part of the panels. I'm guessing this would be because the owners of the books that were photographed didn't want them pressed flat or disassembled (which would be the best way to get the images) in order to take the pics. 4) I have yet to be able to find any method of getting acceptable (or even legible) print-outs from the fiche. I've tried fiche viewers with photocopy printers on them in half-a-dozen libraries, and the output is uniformly bad. In a lot of cases you're lucky if you can tell it's a comic page. I've tried photographing the screen of the fiche viewer with a digital camera or a video camera hooked up to a Snappy. I've checked with local camera/photo stores to see whether they could suggest anything. I've sent a fiche to a guy in California who specializes in scanning documents that are archived on fiche and had him try. I've kept my eyes open for a reasonably-priced film scanner in the computer catalogs that I get. But so far, nothing. 5) I was able to get a bunch of fiche viewers for $10 each when Purdue University got rid of them. So if you're near a university, check to see if they have a department that sells surplus equipment--there's a lot of bargains to be had that way. Unfortunately, at this point I only have one left, and I'm waiting to see whether a guy who expressed an interest a while back wants it. If he DOESN'T, I'll sell it for the $10 that I paid, plus the cost of boxing it up and shipping it, which in the past has run about $15 more. 6) There is an outfit that's beginning to put comics onto CD-ROM (http://www.comicsoncdrom.com/ which Stan Smith was kind enough to let me know about), but there collections are spotty, jumping around from issue to issue, and appear to only include stuff that's in the public domain. If you're like me and want to read a complete run of a title, one after another, this isn't going to be very satisfying. (On the other hand it's certainly a step in the right direction!) 7) The availability of ANY Golden Age comics on CD-ROM makes me thing that others will be coming, and that makes me leery of investing too much in the microfiche versions. As I understand it, DC has already pulled the license that allowed MicroColour to do the DC titles, so that means that the availability of those is limited to whatever stock MicroColour has on hand. And it COULD mean that DC is planning some sort of project of their own--one would hope, CD-ROM collections. > And my wife gets a little nervous when I want to spend > 6 or 7 hundred $'s on my "funnybook" habit. As near as I can tell, that's an entirely normal spousal reaction. However, you CAN get into the microfiches for a lot less than that, as long as you're willing to spend about $7.50 an issue and then schlep them over to a library to look at them. They sell them in sets of five fiches (with an issue per fiche, at least with the early GA stuff), but they also let you mix and match. For example, I've had it in mind to order copies of all the Human Torch/Sub-Mariner meetings, and the two appearances of the All Winners' Squad. (Used to be that I was gonna start buying all of the ALL STAR COMICS with the JSA, but the DC ARCHIVES are keeping me ALMOST happy at this point.) But with the possibility of CD-ROM versions on the horizon, I just can't commit to it, even though I have a viewer sitting about five feet away from me right now. Hope that helps! -- Regards, Mark Luebker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

It's a question I've given some thought to as far as my collecting goals are concerned. If the Golden Age MLJ comics are readily available in relatively cheap form (like microfiche), why spend thousands of dollars over several years to collect the originals? The best answer I can come up with is that it isn't the same. The fiche viewer is a hassle -- you're not enjoying the comic the way it was meant to be read. You're viewing it one step removed from the original. You can't curl up in bed with a microfiche viewer. That's my formal reason, anyway. More personally, I just like the feel and heft of an original comic book (or maybe it's just that decaying pulp paper smell). When I collect a comic book, I'm collecting something rare and interesting for its own sake, and I can resell it down the road for something like what I paid for it (I hope). But for people who are saner than I am, fiche or (eventually) CD-ROM are probably the best way to go. Somebody commented that the quality of the pages the fiches were shot from wasn't the best. More than fifty years after publication, Golden Age comics are fragile, and they're particularly prone to stress at the staples. I accidentally ruined a copy of Shield-Wizard #2 by trying to make a xerox copy of an interior story -- the cover popped off at the staples when I tried to lay the comic flat. So no one in his right mind with a copy of a comic in high-grade, collectible condition is going to want to risk it by letting it be photocopied. Poorer condition comics that you almost can't make worse than what they already are will be the source material of choice for something like this. I have a CD-ROM of Basil Wolverton comic stories from Comics on CDRom, and it looks like the source comics weren't just laid flat for copying -- it looks like the comics were actually taken apart, page by page, maybe even each four-page sheet actually cut in half. I'm not going to let anybody do that to any of my MLJs! What amazes me to think about is that circa 1970, I actually had a copy of Pep #1 in pretty decent shape. I thought nothing of lending it to the college library where I was going to school to let the librarian make a xerox copy of the whole issue (it was the Popular Culture Library at Bowling Green University in Ohio, which collected that kind of stuff). I got the comic back later, no problem, no signs of any undue stress on the comic. Of course, in 1970, Pep #1 was only thirty years old. Golden Age comics are nearly twice as old now, with all the paper deterioration, effects of less than ideal storage, and results of passing through too many hands and being read too many times laid on top of them. Maybe the answer to reprints in whatever form is a two-step operation. Shoot the cover from the best possible copy. Shoot the insides from a cheap coverless copy that's already in poor enough shape nobody would care about what you do to it. --Dwight Decker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

You're viewing it one step removed from the original. You can't > curl up in bed with a microfiche viewer. That's my formal reason, anyway. I'm with you on every one of those reasons, Dwight. While I did buy one set of fiche, I've held back because I really want to be able to sit in the recliner (or in bed or even on the toilet!) and read comics, not have to be pinned down to a viewer someplace. However, as a dyed-in-the-wool reprint junkie, if I could figure out an affordable way to get the images from the fiche into a digital format, I'd be spending every cent of my discretionary income on microfiche sets, then getting them into the computer and printed out into big books that I could haul around the house and read where and when I choose. Heck, I'd be satisfied if I could get clear black and white reprints of the innards, and color covers--the FLASHBACKs and COMIC REPRINTS have long-since conditioned me to accept that. And the three Alan Light-published SPECIAL EDITION SERIES books which collected consecutive runs of stories featuring specific characters were a great way to read a lot of Golden Age stuff, thank you very much! > More personally, I just like the feel and heft of an original comic book (or > maybe > it's just that decaying pulp paper smell). When I collect a comic book, I'm > collecting something rare and interesting for its own sake, and I can resell > it down the road for something like what I paid for it (I hope). Well, I'm a smeller feller too, and I really enjoy holding an artifact of a time past. That's why I've busted my hump for the last fifteen years trying to get a complete set of CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES. If I settle for the FLASHBACK reprints of #1 and 2, I only have 19 issues to go. But I'd rather have torn and tattered originals of those 19, than photocopies. That doesn't mean I don't WANT photocopies of 'em--heck, I'd be thrilled to have them and be able, finally, to read the entire set from end to end! But I'd STILL keep looking for affordable originals. > But for people who are saner than I am, fiche or (eventually) CD-ROM are > probably the best way to go. I think CD-ROM because you can print out the pages. I'd have to get some nice ivory or off-white paper to use, for authenticity's sake, and I'd probably have to read my "reprints" with a box of REAL Golden Age copies open somewhere nearby for the smell, but for most non-Captain Marvel Golden Age stuff, I'd be satisfied with that. > Somebody commented that the quality of the pages the fiches were shot from > wasn't the best. More than fifty years after publication, Golden Age comics are > fragile, and they're particularly prone to stress at the staples. Here's where I'm a heretic. I only have ONE Golden Age comic that's in such good shape that I'd hesitate to throw it onto the copier--a beautiful, near-cherry copy of WHIZ #69. As for the rest, I've had CMA #3 on the copier, MARVEL FAMILY #1 on the copier, along with a lot of other old stuff. I've even disassembled comics so that I can photocopy a centerfold for someone on an 11" x 17" sheet, back to back, so that the person could trip the copy and insert it into their book. But then, I usually don't BUY comics that are better than VG, and lately, most of my purchases have been GD or worse. The only thing I sweat is if a comic is brittle, and I'll still copy those, albeit a bit more carefully. (And I'm even contemplating buying some of that archival tape from Gaylord Brothers to hold some of my MORE tattered specimens together. I'm not selling them anyway--let my heirs worry about that!) > ...So no one in his right mind with a copy of a comic in high-grade, collectible > condition is going to want to risk it by letting it be photocopied. Depending on where you draw the line on "high grade," I agree. But I don't mind putting a book in Fine condition on the copier. It's that VF/NM copy of WHIZ 69 where I balk... > Poorer condition comics that you almost can't make worse than what they already > are will be the source material of choice for something like this... Maybe the > answer to reprints in whatever form is a two-step operation. Shoot the cover > from the best possible copy.

That's one neat thing about digital "reprints," be they on CD-ROM or some other source: They can be "repaired" to near-mint condition if you so choose, without ever touching the actual comic. Replacing missing pieces is a little tougher if there's actual art on them, but if it's just a matter of taking creases out of a cover or adding a missing chunk or removing a stain, it's incredibly easy to do. So my guess is when they DO get around to doing comics on CD in a big way, they'll use the poor condition ones as the source material, and then digitally enhance them. And I doubt if ANYONE would be able to tell it had been done. -- Regards, Mark Luebker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

While I did buy one set of fiche, I've held back because I really want to be able to sit in the recliner (or in bed or even on the toilet!) and read comics, not have to be pinned down to a viewer someplace. However, as a dyed-in-the-wool reprint junkie, if I could figure out an affordable way to get the images from the fiche into a digital format, I'd be spending every cent of my discretionary income on microfiche sets, then getting them into the computer and printed out into big books that I could haul around the house and read where and when I choose. Heck, I'd be satisfied if I could get clear black and white reprints of the innards, and color covers--the FLASHBACKs and COMIC REPRINTS have long-since conditioned me to accept that. And the three Alan Light-published SPECIAL EDITION SERIES books which collected consecutive runs of stories featuring specific characters were a great way to read a lot of Golden Age stuff, thank you very much! > More personally, I just like the feel and heft of an original comic book (or > maybe > it's just that decaying pulp paper smell). When I collect a comic book, I'm > collecting something rare and interesting for its own sake, and I can resell > it down the road for something like what I paid for it (I hope). Well, I'm a smeller feller too, and I really enjoy holding an artifact of a time past. That's why I've busted my hump for the last fifteen years trying to get a complete set of CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES. If I settle for the FLASHBACK reprints of #1 and 2, I only have 19 issues to go. But I'd rather have torn and tattered originals of those 19, than photocopies. That doesn't mean I don't WANT photocopies of 'em--heck, I'd be thrilled to have them and be able, finally, to read the entire set from end to end! But I'd STILL keep looking for affordable originals. > But for people who are saner than I am, fiche or (eventually) CD-ROM are > probably the best way to go. I think CD-ROM because you can print out the pages. I'd have to get some nice ivory or off-white paper to use, for authenticity's sake, and I'd probably have to read my "reprints" with a box of REAL Golden Age copies open somewhere nearby for the smell, but for most non-Captain Marvel Golden Age stuff, I'd be satisfied with that. > Somebody commented that the quality of the pages the fiches were shot from > wasn't the best. More than fifty years after publication, Golden Age comics are > fragile, and they're particularly prone to stress at the staples. Here's where I'm a heretic. I only have ONE Golden Age comic that's in such good shape that I'd hesitate to throw it onto the copier--a beautiful, near-cherry copy of WHIZ #69. As for the rest, I've had CMA #3 on the copier, MARVEL FAMILY #1 on the copier, along with a lot of other old stuff. I've even disassembled comics so that I can photocopy a centerfold for someone on an 11" x 17" sheet, back to back, so that the person could trip the copy and insert it into their book. But then, I usually don't BUY comics that are better than VG, and lately, most of my purchases have been GD or worse. The only thing I sweat is if a comic is brittle, and I'll still copy those, albeit a bit more carefully. (And I'm even contemplating buying some of that archival tape from Gaylord Brothers to hold some of my MORE tattered specimens together. I'm not selling them anyway--let my heirs worry about that!) > ...So no one in his right mind with a copy of a comic in high-grade, collectible > condition is going to want to risk it by letting it be photocopied. Depending on where you draw the line on "high grade," I agree. But I don't mind putting a book in Fine condition on the copier. It's that VF/NM copy of WHIZ 69 where I balk... > Poorer condition comics that you almost can't make worse than what they already > are will be the source material of choice for something like this... Maybe the > answer to reprints in whatever form is a two-step operation. Shoot the cover > from the best possible copy. Shoot the insides from a cheap coverless copy > that's already in poor enough shape nobody would care about what you do to it. That's one neat thing about digital "reprints," be they on CD-ROM or some other source: They can be "repaired" to near-mint condition if you so choose, without ever touching the actual comic. Replacing missing pieces is a little tougher if there's actual art on them, but if it's just a matter of taking creases out of a cover or adding a missing chunk or removing a stain, it's incredibly easy to do. So my guess is when they DO get around to doing comics on CD in a big way, they'll use the poor condition ones as the source material, and then digitally enhance them. And I doubt if ANYONE would be able to tell it had been done. -- Regards, Mark Luebker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups. --WebTV-Mail-1809377287-537-- From chet-el@juno.com (Chester L Cox) Sat Sep 19 15:20:57 1998 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com Precedence: list X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 24705 invoked by uid 7770); 19 Sep 1998 22:20:56 -0000 Received: from x4.boston.juno.com (205.231.101.22) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 19 Sep 1998 22:20:56 -0000 Received: (from chet-el@juno.com) by x4.boston.juno.com (queuemail) id DPJUBZA6; Sat, 19 Sep 1998 18:20:24 EDT To: mightycomics@egroups.com Date: Sat, 19 Sep 1998 16:09:36 -0600 Message-ID: <19980919.161929.9070.2.Chet-EL@juno.com> References: <15e31893.3603f5e8@aol.com> X-Mailer: Juno 1.38 X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 0-1,5-6,11-12,14-19 From: chet-el@juno.com (Chester L Cox) Subject: [mightycomics] Re: The Shadow continuity question Dwight, your post was fun enough for me to take a spin with.

In the Silver Age we had Fly Girl,Pow-Girl, Cat-girl,Kree-Nal (what's with all the hyphens!),and in the 80's series we had the Darkling and She-Fox (see hyphens again!).I don't count DC's impact series as being relevant to MLJ/Archie/Radio continuity.Can anyone else out there come up with any other Super or otherwise female characters?Let me know,I'm truely interested in this subject. ----- Free e-mail group hosting at http://www.eGroups.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

I'm new here, but I think I can answer your question. There were no female super heroes at MLJ. The Black Witch was just the narrator of horror stories. There was a nearly identical strip in Blue Ribbon that replaced Inferno as of #20. A lot of the heroes had female partners, but none of them ever put on a costume. Speaking of female characters, does anyone else with an issue of Top Notch #27 wonder what happened with Firefly and Sheba? -Paris ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

I'm new here, but I think I can answer your question. There were no female super heroes at MLJ. >> Well, there was Madame Satan, but to call her a super-hero would be a stretch. She's mainly interesting as the strip that got replaced in Pep by Archie. The lack of female costume heroes at MLJ was definitely a deficiency. When I was filled with bright ideas years ago for an MLJ revival, I proposed to correct that problem with a new Fox who would be the Web's daughter. (And I more or less actually did just that in a three-issue B&W independent series, though I had to change the names, and it was Skye Blue, daughter of the Defender.) On the other hand...I've long felt the Hangman was basically MLJ's Batman knockoff, but where Batman got stuck with a teenage boy companion, the Hangman had a girlfriend named Thelma (whom he inherited, more or less, from his late brother, the Comet). Thelma didn't have a costume but she knew his identity and helped him on cases, doing the legwork, as it were (and a nice set of legs, too). If I were a dark knight sort of superhero prowling night-shrouded rooftops, I think I'd rather hang out with a Thelma than a Robin. --Dwight Decker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

Here's some I've tracked down over the weekend. I'm sure there was a Mighty Comics article in a more recent CMB but damned if I can find out (maybe I dreamt it) Reprints: Special #1 published SFCA (early 70s) MLJ Articles: Golden Age of Comics #4 (early 80s) Overstreet's Golden Age & Silver Age Quarterly #5 (Jul-Sep 1994) Mighty Comics Articles: Comic Book Marketplace #30 (Dec 1995) And a reminder of what it was like when these books were current (happy days) Reviews/Previews: World's Collide #8 (1983 UK Fanzine) · Black Hood 2 "The only RC comic in this batch, I'm afraid, as it's the only one of their's I've bought recently. I'd buy virtually anything with Alex Toth artwork in it. He provides a thrilling pair of covers (front and back), and writes (I presume?) and draws a back-up Fox story. To be honest, his writing is unexceptional, the dialogue particularly being more in keeping with the 1940s than the 1980s, but it is adequate. The art, of course, is brilliant. It's a shame that Toth's idiosyncratic, sketchy illustration proves a stumbling block for some readers, as he is undoubtedly one of the very best artists ever to draw the comic. This Fox story is well up to standard - in other words, magnificent. Also in this comic are two Black Hood stories. The first is a mediocre Gary Cohn story, enjoyable enough, but a bit ordinary, with some very attractive art by the lamentably underrated Pat Boyette. The other is plotted by John Carbonaro, scripted by Rich Margopoulos and drawn by Dan Spiegle. A very good story, this, despite the cliched love-at-first-sight-then-girl-murdered-by-mob plotline. The scripting is particularly strong and skilled. It's taken me a while to get used to Spiegle's art, but I've learnt, and this is an especially good piece of work by him. There we are then. Despite slight misgivings on the writing side, this is nonetheless a fine comic, and one, given the presence of the great Alex Toth, which you should have already bought." World's Collide #9/Fantasy Advertiser #81 (Oct 1983) · Archie/Red Circle Comics "After two issues as THE SHIELD and two more as SHIELD-STEEL STERLING the comic becomes STEEL STERLING with #5, as Steel honours a promise made in #3 to the (Lancelot Strong) Shield, to 'take over for me'…. The Shield apparently perishes in that issue. Plot threads continue in #4, 'A License to Kill', a strong & uncompromising tale by Robert Kanigher and Ed Barretto on teenage drunken driving. SHIELD-STEEL STERLING #4 ships in October with a January cover-date; also out this month are THUNDER BUNNY #2 by Marty Greim, Brian Buniak, and Dave Simons, guest starring the Mighty Crusaders, BLUE RIBBON COMICS #4, with all-new Fly and Fly-Girl stories by Buckler, Timmons, Von Eedon, Jack C. Harris, & Skelton, and THE MIGHTY CRUSADERS #5, with the 20-page first part of 'The Elimination Trilogy' by Cary Burkett, Adrian Gonzales, Rich Buckler, & Tony DeZuniga, plus a new 12-page adventure of the (original) Shield as a back-up strip. BLUE RIBBON COMICS #5 and #6 both ship out in November, in the $1.50, Baxter paper format. They feature the Fox in new solo adventures, written by Buckler and Timmons, and drawn by DeZuniga, Dick Ayers, and Villagran. THE COMET #3 (of a six-issue mini-series) is 'Death in Kampuchea' by Bill DuBay, Carmine Infantino & Alex Nino, with Comet trying to prevent Genocide in a foreign country. BLACK HOOD #4 features 'Face Behind the Mask' by Dave Alikis, with the return of the original Black Hood. In the back will be 'Phantom Patrol', starring Mr Justice & the Wierdling, written by DuBay & Rich Margopoulos. THE FLY #5 has a main story written and drawn by Steve Ditko, with the Jaguar in the back-up slot in a story by Charles Ward and Vicatan. The BLUE RIBBON COMICS line-up for future months reads like this:- #7: Lancelot Strong, the Shield-a Simon & Kirby reprint issue #8: The Web meets the Jaguar, with a script by Bill DuBay #9: Mystery stories, with art by Gray Morrow, Doug Wildey, Alex Nino, Steve Bissette, and Steve Ditko. #10: The Fly, in reprints with art by Jack Davis, John Rosenberger, Dick Ayers, Bob Powell, Paul Reinman, and George Tuska. Following good sales figures, there will be a second issue of KATIE KEENE SPECIAL, with more reprints. Red Circle's editorial line-up is: Rich Goldwater: editor-in-chief, & co-publisher, editor of BLUE RIBBON Mike Silberkleit: co-publisher, and direct sales manager. Robin Snyder: editor of KATY KEENE SPECIAL, SHIELD STEEL STERLING, FLY. Bill DuBay: editor of BLACK HOOD, COMET Rich Buckler: editor THUNDER BUNNY, MIGHTY CRUSADERS, direct sales consultant, publicity director. Victor Gorelick: production manager Steve Austin: art director BLUE RIBBON COMICS #1 was delayed, due to the Canadian printer, Ronald's (who do most 'Baxter' books for the various publishers) misplacing the art for a while. This meant that #1 and #2 came out at the same time. ARCHIE AND ME #141 begins a series by Bob Bolling, the most interesting of the Archie writers and artists." ----- Free e-mail group hosting at http://www.eGroups.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

For example, Archie's Shadow was often referred to in expository text as "The Dark Avenger" -- why not revive him, simply calling him the The Dark Avenger, instead of the Shadow? "Lamont Cranston" could become "Larry Crandall", and "Margo Lane" becomes "Marla Blaine", etc. They could even reprint the old stories with minimal textual changes, similar to what Marvel did with its old "Dr. Droom" stories, changing the character to "Dr. Druid". The closest that The Shadow came to being connected to the rest of the Mighty Universe in his original run, is in a house ad for the Mighty Crusaders, that shows them dispatching a group of villains, some of whom are readily familiar, and some who aren't. One of them, however, looks uncannily like Dr. Demon, who fought the Shadow in his own series.

Yes your input is greatly appriciated. Thanks for your info on the Black Witch. I had no idea that she was only a narrator of a horror series.I had always thought (perhaps misguidedly) that she was a heroine of the MLJ universe.That plus the fact that in DC's impact series they used her character name,and showed her to be a supernatural heroine.One more reason for me to dislike the DC impact titles.I suppose the "Doc Strong"character as portrayed in said DC impact version was also a bogus character.Oh well,scratch those two from my goldenage character hero/heroine list.Once again thanks for your informative reply.I'll yak @ ya soon.

I'm new here, but I think I can answer your question. There were no female super heroes at MLJ. The Black Witch was just the narrator of horror stories. There was a nearly identical strip in Blue Ribbon that replaced Inferno as of #20. A lot of the heroes had female partners, but none of them ever put on a costume. Speaking of female characters, does anyone else with an issue of Top Notch #27 wonder what happened with Firefly and Sheba? -Paris ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups. --WebTV-Mail-1350935849-2567-- From pamric@webtv.net (Richard and Pamela Boucher) Mon Sep 21 20:24:36 1998 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com Precedence: list X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 24844 invoked by uid 7770); 22 Sep 1998 03:00:04 -0000 Received: from mailsorter-105.iap.bryant.webtv.net (HELO mailsorter-105.bryant.webtv.net) (207.79.35.95) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 22 Sep 1998 03:00:04 -0000 Received: from mailtod-141.iap.bryant.webtv.net (mailtod-141.iap.bryant.webtv.net [207.79.35.128]) by mailsorter-105.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.8/ms.gso.08Dec97) with ESMTP id TAA05534; Mon, 21 Sep 1998 19:59:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from production@localhost) by mailtod-141.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.5/mt.gso.26Feb98) id TAA08246; Mon, 21 Sep 1998 19:59:49 -0700 (PDT) X-WebTV-Signature: 1 ETAtAhR/FxiaxnPpcuGGNY6SPsLo490okQIVAMog40kgMku+FfztrZRc8Q7cKszi From: pamric@webtv.net (Richard and Pamela Boucher) Date: Mon, 21 Sep 1998 19:59:49 -0700 (PDT) To: mightycomics@egroups.com Message-ID: <23682-360712A5-4270@mailtod-141.iap.bryant.webtv.net> Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed; Boundary=WebTV-Mail-948259908-2584 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit MIME-Version: 1.0 (WebTV) Subject: [mightycomics] Re: MLJ Golden Age Heroines --WebTV-Mail-948259908-2584 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Such a shame that the MLJ line ends up being an all "boys"club.You would at least think that their would be some female copy-cat characters such as the likes of the HawkMan - HawkGirl variety.Oh well, so much for wishfull thinking.And your right,on tose cold lonely rooftotp nights I too would prefer the company of a Thelma rather than the adolecent Robin.Also I've been informed that Madam Satan is a villian rather than a anti-heroine.Well scratch those two from my Goldenage character list.Thanks for the missive though.I'll yak @ ya soon.

I'm new here, but I think I can answer your question. There were no female super heroes at MLJ. >> Well, there was Madame Satan, but to call her a super-hero would be a stretch. She's mainly interesting as the strip that got replaced in Pep by Archie. The lack of female costume heroes at MLJ was definitely a deficiency. When I was filled with bright ideas years ago for an MLJ revival, I proposed to correct that problem with a new Fox who would be the Web's daughter. (And I more or less actually did just that in a three-issue B&W independent series, though I had to change the names, and it was Skye Blue, daughter of the Defender.) On the other hand...I've long felt the Hangman was basically MLJ's Batman knockoff, but where Batman got stuck with a teenage boy companion, the Hangman had a girlfriend named Thelma (whom he inherited, more or less, from his late brother, the Comet). Thelma didn't have a costume but she knew his identity and helped him on cases, doing the legwork, as it were (and a nice set of legs, too). If I were a dark knight sort of superhero prowling night-shrouded rooftops, I think I'd rather hang out with a Thelma than a Robin. --Dwight Decker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups. --WebTV-Mail-948259908-2584-- From pamric@webtv.net (Richard and Pamela Boucher) Mon Sep 21 20:24:57 1998 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com Precedence: list X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 26221 invoked by uid 7770); 22 Sep 1998 03:04:16 -0000 Received: from mailsorter-105.iap.bryant.webtv.net (HELO mailsorter-105.bryant.webtv.net) (207.79.35.95) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 22 Sep 1998 03:04:16 -0000 Received: from mailtod-141.iap.bryant.webtv.net (mailtod-141.iap.bryant.webtv.net [207.79.35.128]) by mailsorter-105.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.8/ms.gso.08Dec97) with ESMTP id UAA14288; Mon, 21 Sep 1998 20:04:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from production@localhost) by mailtod-141.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.5/mt.gso.26Feb98) id UAA08706; Mon, 21 Sep 1998 20:04:01 -0700 (PDT) X-WebTV-Signature: 1 ETAsAhRwKoK+FBe2fO+yJ60ZFFovSnN9RQIUb+Tx0tgiwA+mCQbxDlwKWKV/IKk= From: pamric@webtv.net (Richard and Pamela Boucher) Date: Mon, 21 Sep 1998 20:04:01 -0700 (PDT) To: mightycomics@egroups.com Message-ID: <23682-360713A1-4290@mailtod-141.iap.bryant.webtv.net> Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed; Boundary=WebTV-Mail-546561083-2595 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit MIME-Version: 1.0 (WebTV) Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Reprint remarks --WebTV-Mail-546561083-2595 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Hello Rob, I guess you've never dealt with the southern California UC system types.Talk about x-files paranoia types!But hey,I'll give your idea a try and see what happens.After all if you don't ask you can't be told no,right?I'll yak @ ya soon.

Here's some I've tracked down over the weekend. I'm sure there was a Mighty Comics article in a more recent CMB but damned if I can find out (maybe I dreamt it) Reprints: Special #1 published SFCA (early 70s) MLJ Articles: Golden Age of Comics #4 (early 80s) Overstreet's Golden Age & Silver Age Quarterly #5 (Jul-Sep 1994) Mighty Comics Articles: Comic Book Marketplace #30 (Dec 1995) And a reminder of what it was like when these books were current (happy days) Reviews/Previews: World's Collide #8 (1983 UK Fanzine) · Black Hood 2 "The only RC comic in this batch, I'm afraid, as it's the only one of their's I've bought recently. I'd buy virtually anything with Alex Toth artwork in it. He provides a thrilling pair of covers (front and back), and writes (I presume?) and draws a back-up Fox story. To be honest, his writing is unexceptional, the dialogue particularly being more in keeping with the 1940s than the 1980s, but it is adequate. The art, of course, is brilliant. It's a shame that Toth's idiosyncratic, sketchy illustration proves a stumbling block for some readers, as he is undoubtedly one of the very best artists ever to draw the comic. This Fox story is well up to standard - in other words, magnificent. Also in this comic are two Black Hood stories. The first is a mediocre Gary Cohn story, enjoyable enough, but a bit ordinary, with some very attractive art by the lamentably underrated Pat Boyette. The other is plotted by John Carbonaro, scripted by Rich Margopoulos and drawn by Dan Spiegle. A ver! ! ! y good story, this, despite the cliched love-at-first-sight-then-girl-murdered-by-mob plotline. The scripting is particularly strong and skilled. It's taken me a while to get used to Spiegle's art, but I've learnt, and this is an especially good piece of work by him. There we are then. Despite slight misgivings on the writing side, this is nonetheless a fine comic, and one, given the presence of the great Alex Toth, which you should have already bought." World's Collide #9/Fantasy Advertiser #81 (Oct 1983) · Archie/Red Circle Comics "After two issues as THE SHIELD and two more as SHIELD-STEEL STERLING the comic becomes STEEL STERLING with #5, as Steel honours a promise made in #3 to the (Lancelot Strong) Shield, to 'take over for me'…. The Shield apparently perishes in that issue. Plot threads continue in #4, 'A License to Kill', a strong & uncompromising tale by Robert Kanigher and Ed Barretto on teenage drunken driving. SHIELD-STEEL STERLING #4 ships in October with a January cover-date; also out this month are THUNDER BUNNY #2 by Marty Greim, Brian Buniak, and Dave Simons, guest starring the Mighty Crusaders, BLUE RIBBON COMICS #4, with all-new Fly and Fly-Girl stories by Buckler, Timmons, Von Eedon, Jack C. Harris, & Skelton, and THE MIGHTY CRUSADERS #5, with the 20-page first part of 'The Elimination Trilogy' by Cary Burkett, Adrian Gonzales, Rich Buckler, & Tony DeZuniga, plus a new 12-page adventure of the (original) Shield as a back-up strip. BLUE RIBBON COMICS #5 and #6 both ship out in November, in the $1.50, Baxter paper format. They feature the Fox in new solo adventures, written by Buckler and Timmons, and drawn by DeZuniga, Dick Ayers, and Villagran. THE COMET #3 (of a six-issue mini-series) is 'Death in Kampuchea' by Bill DuBay, Carmine Infantino & Alex Nino, with Comet trying to prevent Genocide in a foreign country. BLACK HOOD #4 features 'Face Behind the Mask' by Dave Alikis, with the return of the original Black Hood. In the back will be 'Phantom Patrol', starring Mr Justice & the Wierdling, written by DuBay & Rich Margopoulos. THE FLY #5 has a main story written and drawn by Steve Ditko, with the Jaguar in the back-up slot in a story by Charles Ward and Vicatan. The BLUE RIBBON COMICS line-up for future months reads like this:- #7: Lancelot Strong, the Shield-a Simon & Kirby reprint issue #8: The Web meets the Jaguar, with a script by Bill DuBay #9: Mystery stories, with art by Gray Morrow, Doug Wildey, Alex Nino, Steve Bissette, and Steve Ditko. #10: The Fly, in reprints with art by Jack Davis, John Rosenberger, Dick Ayers, Bob Powell, Paul Reinman, and George Tuska. Following good sales figures, there will be a second issue of KATIE KEENE SPECIAL, with more reprints. Red Circle's editorial line-up is: Rich Goldwater: editor-in-chief, & co-publisher, editor of BLUE RIBBON Mike Silberkleit: co-publisher, and direct sales manager. Robin Snyder: editor of KATY KEENE SPECIAL, SHIELD STEEL STERLING, FLY. Bill DuBay: editor of BLACK HOOD, COMET Rich Buckler: editor THUNDER BUNNY, MIGHTY CRUSADERS, direct sales consultant, publicity director. Victor Gorelick: production manager Steve Austin: art director BLUE RIBBON COMICS #1 was delayed, due to the Canadian printer, Ronald's (who do most 'Baxter' books for the various publishers) misplacing the art for a while. This meant that #1 and #2 came out at the same time. ARCHIE AND ME #141 begins a series by Bob Bolling, the most interesting of the Archie writers and artists." ----- Free e-mail group hosting at http://www.eGroups.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups. --WebTV-Mail-318582055-1709-- From pamric@webtv.net (Richard and Pamela Boucher) Mon Sep 21 21:39:27 1998 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com Precedence: list X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 4969 invoked by uid 7770); 22 Sep 1998 04:39:22 -0000 Received: from mailsorter-105.iap.bryant.webtv.net (HELO mailsorter-105.bryant.webtv.net) (207.79.35.95) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 22 Sep 1998 04:39:22 -0000 Received: from mailtod-142.iap.bryant.webtv.net (mailtod-142.iap.bryant.webtv.net [207.79.35.129]) by mailsorter-105.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.8/ms.gso.08Dec97) with ESMTP id VAA11877; Mon, 21 Sep 1998 21:39:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from production@localhost) by mailtod-142.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.5/mt.gso.26Feb98) id VAA06949; Mon, 21 Sep 1998 21:39:08 -0700 (PDT) X-WebTV-Signature: 1 ETAtAhUAkxnx/hck6DgKgBWw3D7dvcr9UNICFHw2RX1DdKVJCql+chSLMgMF5Xw1 From: pamric@webtv.net (Richard and Pamela Boucher) Date: Mon, 21 Sep 1998 21:39:08 -0700 (PDT) To: mightycomics@egroups.com Message-ID: <13456-360729EC-3426@mailtod-142.iap.bryant.webtv.net> Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed; Boundary=WebTV-Mail-1213894924-1994 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit MIME-Version: 1.0 (WebTV) Subject: [mightycomics] Re: The Shadow continuity question --WebTV-Mail-1213894924-1994 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Hello Dennis, I too had similar thoughts reguarding the Shadow.In fact when I started drawing the MLJ characters from the Goldenage and Silverage,thats just what I called the Shadow,The Dark Avenger!I did this as to not have any confusion with the REAL Shadow of pulp and comics fame.And I also agree that with a little rewrite ala Dr. Druid,that the Shadow er,The Dark Avenger would fit splendidly into the Mighty Guys universe.And I also think the Crusader house add did indeed show the nefarious Dr. Demon plus I think that other villian from issue # 8,the insidious Elasto!So if or when Archie ever does reprint those great "camp" stories from the 60's that they take up your idea,or,if by some strange miricle they should ever want to do another series set in the 60's, (which I think is a perfect place for these characters)maybe they will take the idea to heart.After all,some of the later end stories of the Red Circle 80's series seem to kind of reflect the 60's thinking (remember the She-Fox?).Anyway it's always great to speculate!I'll yak @ ya soon.

For example, Archie's Shadow was often referred to in expository text as "The Dark Avenger" -- why not revive him, simply calling him the The Dark Avenger, instead of the Shadow? "Lamont Cranston" could become "Larry Crandall", and "Margo Lane" becomes "Marla Blaine", etc. They could even reprint the old stories with minimal textual changes, similar to what Marvel did with its old "Dr. Droom" stories, changing the character to "Dr. Druid". The closest that The Shadow came to being connected to the rest of the Mighty Universe in his original run, is in a house ad for the Mighty Crusaders, that shows them dispatching a group of villains, some of whom are readily familiar, and some who aren't. One of them, however, looks uncannily like Dr. Demon, who fought the Shadow in his own series.

Flashback reprints were done of the following MLJ titles: Pep #1 and 17 Special #1 There was a great B&W reprint book from the late 70s called The Magnificent Superheroes of Comics Golden Age. It reprinted the following MLJ stories: Hangman "special case #3" from Special #1 The Shield, "Case of the living puppets", from ??? The Web, Black Jack, and Steel Sterling stories from Zip #27 and The Wizard, "Meet and beat Doctor Defeet", from ???

I'm still using the printed copy I've had since Nolan published it. Pretty good checklist, though maybe only 99.9% accurate (it lists a Super-Duck story in Hangman #8 where there is none). One of the best features is a section at the back called "Poor Man's Guide to Collecting Expensive MLJs," in which Nolan gives something of an overview of the MLJ line and lays out his suggestions for a representative collection of about two dozen MLJs if you're not inclined to bankrupt yourself by going for completism. What's heartbreaking is to contemplate what was considered "expensive" in 1969... --Dwight Decker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

I just gave the strip in BR #2 a quick skim and it seems to be a middle- aged police chief (or chief of detectives), nicknamed the "Silver Fox" because of a white streak through his hair, reminiscing about solving a tricky case as a young detective. I'm not sure I'd count Hercules, either. He appeared in Blue Ribbon #4 - 8 (replaced by Mr. Justice in #9), and was the mythological hero coming to Earth to have adventures in the present day (well, 1940). There's a great drawing of Zeus in the first story that's a direct swipe of Ming the Merciless. Herc was played too close to the mythological original to be a superhero in the same sense as even Marvel's Thor, in my view. Doc Strong was science fiction -- if I remember right, a man rebuilding civilization after its collapse a hundred years from now. There should be some postings on the ML website about this from July, I think. (And don't get your hopes up about the Green Falcon being a superhero. Pure Errol Flynn Robin Hood rip-off!) --Dwight Decker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

Let's see, the silver age gave us Fly Girl, Cat- Girl, Kree-Nal and Pow-Girl -- all of whom could be revived and revised (and hopefully with some name changes -- I'd suggest going with Sphinx for Cat-Girl and Sea Circe for Kree-Nal, since those names are referenced in their early stories). Don't know what you can do with a name like Pow-Girl (since DC has a lock on "Power Girl", and the Spice Girls have "Girl Power" trademarked...) The 80's gave us Darkling, She-Fox, and Ms. Sampson. Don't know what you can do with those (personally, I liked Delilah better as a go-go dancer). Time to create some new ones!

(quote follows): "The full comic books (story pages) that used to reside on the hosting facility (Tierranet) have been removed to protect them from litigation and will appear elsewhere soon. The Goliath Corporation TIME-WARNER (with an unsavory history) which in the past brought you records like Cop Killer through their Gangsta Rap record distribution has decided to quash David (Vintage Comics Viewing Room) without a rational reason (letter from DC- Comics). One wonders why TIME-WARNER would want to remove this free alternative to the PORNO business that is thriving on the Internet today. Does TIME-WARNER have a vested interest in the PORNO industry through shadow companies they own? It would not be so unusual for a company like TIME-WARNER owner of CNN, HBO, Warner Brothers, Time Inc/People Magazine, Cable TV franchise, DC-Comics and possibly other ventures all used to add to their bottom line profits/losses. The multi-billion Dollar Porno Industry would be a very good source of revenue for a company like TIME-WARNER Inc which specializes in publishing and entertainment." (end quote) Of course, Time/Warner shut them down because of competition with Time/Warner's "porno" sites. Makes perfect sense. It's usually pretty difficult to get me to identify and sympathize with an "unsavory Goliath Corporation", but this did the trick. Gangsta Rap, Porno and comic books. It's all a conspiracy! How could I have been so blind?!?

(quote follows): "The full comic books (story pages) that used to reside on the hosting facility (Tierranet) have been removed to protect them from litigation and will appear elsewhere soon. The Goliath Corporation TIME-WARNER (with an unsavory history) which in the past brought you records like Cop Killer through their Gangsta Rap record distribution has decided to quash David (Vintage Comics Viewing Room) without a rational reason (letter from DC- Comics). One wonders why TIME-WARNER would want to remove this free alternative to the PORNO business that is thriving on the Internet today. Does TIME-WARNER have a vested interest in the PORNO industry through shadow companies they own? It would not be so unusual for a company like TIME-WARNER owner of CNN, HBO, Warner Brothers, Time Inc/People Magazine, Cable TV franchise, DC-Comics and possibly other ventures all used to add to their bottom line profits/losses. The multi-billion Dollar Porno Industry would be a very good source of revenue for a company like TIME-WARNER Inc which specializes in publishing and entertainment." (end quote) Of course, Time/Warner shut them down because of competition with Time/Warner's "porno" sites. Makes perfect sense. It's usually pretty difficult to get me to identify and sympathize with an "unsavory Goliath Corporation", but this did the trick. Gangsta Rap, Porno and comic books. It's all a conspiracy! How could I have been so blind?!?

Let's see, the silver age gave us Fly Girl, Cat- Girl, Kree-Nal and Pow-Girl -- all of whom could be revived and revised (and hopefully with some name changes -- I'd suggest going with Sphinx for Cat-Girl and Sea Circe for Kree-Nal, since those names are referenced in their early stories). Don't know what you can do with a name like Pow-Girl (since DC has a lock on "Power Girl", and the Spice Girls have "Girl Power" trademarked...) The 80's gave us Darkling, She-Fox, and Ms. Sampson. Don't know what you can do with those (personally, I liked Delilah better as a go-go dancer). Time to create some new ones!

I recently tried getting in touch with Michelle Nolan through CBM about reprinting the MLJ index, but CBM refused to send me the address and merely said they'd forward my query. I never heard anything back. <> Yes, and has a few errors. It was written by a pioneering fan named Howard Keltner about 1961, before comic-book collecting grew into an organized hobby and fans could pool their knowledge and collections. Instead, Keltner had to rely on childhood memories and maybe a very incomplete collection of his own, so he was unclear about things like how many issues a given comic might have run. These days, all you have to do is look in Overstreet for that. The Alter Ego article is extremely important as a pioneering effort, the first systematic look at MLJ as a company by an adult comic-book collector, but as a reliable source of information it was rendered obsolete many years ago. Bill Schelly, the publisher of the Alter Ego reprint book, asked me to give him a list of corrections to the article before he published the book, but in the end didn't use it, apparently deciding to let the article stand as history, warts and all. This isn't to blame Keltner -- he was doing the best he could with what he had in 1961, before a lot of research into old comics was done. I certainly regard him as a kindred spirit and a fellow MLJ fan, and I was glad I had a chance to meet him last year at the 1997 Chicago comics convention. In fact, he saw me with a copy of Zip #46 in my hands and could tell me exactly what was in it -- as well as what was in #47, the last issue. I was sorry to hear that he recently passed away. At the time of his death, he was working on a detailed Golden Age comics checklist that includes MLJs, and from what I've seen of a draft copy, it's pretty much accurate (though I recall noticing he didn't have those last couple of Black Hood appearances in Pep quite right). Anyway, the point is that the Alter Ego article is very old and was done before major research into Golden Age comics had been done.

I've given myself the mini-goal of having at least one issue of every MLJ title and at least one appearence of every MLJ mystery man strip. The following is my list of MLJ mystery men (I'm only missing Hercules, can anybody help?): >> The Silver Fox appeared in Blue Ribbon #2 and #3, and he wasn't a costume hero. I just gave the strip in BR #2 a quick skim and it seems to be a middle- aged police chief (or chief of detectives), nicknamed the "Silver Fox" because of a white streak through his hair, reminiscing about solving a tricky case as a young detective. I'm not sure I'd count Hercules, either. He appeared in Blue Ribbon #4 - 8 (replaced by Mr. Justice in #9), and was the mythological hero coming to Earth to have adventures in the present day (well, 1940). There's a great drawing of Zeus in the first story that's a direct swipe of Ming the Merciless. Herc was played too close to the mythological original to be a superhero in the same sense as even Marvel's Thor, in my view. Doc Strong was science fiction -- if I remember right, a man rebuilding civilization after its collapse a hundred years from now. There should be some postings on the ML website about this from July, I think. (And don't get your hopes up about the Green Falcon being a superhero.

Seems like we are still waiting for the "definitive" reference piece on Archie superheroes, even after all these years, although Nolan's index certainly sounds like the thing to have for hard data on the golden-age source material.

Suggestions: 1) Biographies- What I'd like to see are biographies on the characters.Who they were,when they started and ended their series runs in their particular issues that they appeared in. 2) Pinups- A lot of people might not have any idea what some of the characters look like, i.e. Nevada Jones,Mr. Satan ect. 3) Fan fiction- If we can't wait for Archie to do new stories why not do our own. I think this might have an appeal to the history buffs,the amature artists,and the frustrated writers out their,plus it would be fun.Which I think is the whole idea of this anyway.Thanks for putting up the web page,it's a great start.

Tarzan type,with blonde hair,does he have a lions cloth on,if so how so,and/or is he otherwise naked.Does he carry any wepons ect. 3)The Falcon,I understand had a all grey outfit and cape,but what did it look like? Was is an all one piece type with standard cowl headpiece?Did the cape have any distinguishing features?was it long,or short or something in between?Did it have a collar ala Captain Marvel. See,these are questions I come up with when trying to visualize and draw something I've never seen.I could mail or fax you a model sheet I use at conventions when I'm gathering info and you could fill in/out what the design was and the colors,if your interested in doing this that is.But anyway thanks for your help.Trying to preserve yesterdays heroes for tommorow.

Your enthusiasm is just a bit overwhelming... Anyway, just let me know where to send it, and I''ll ship off a xeroxed page or two of the Hercules story in Blue Ribbon #4. Costs are negligable, so don't worry about it. After this, though...I realized right after someone asked me to make a copy of the Nolan checklist for him that I have to announce that I can't make copies of MLJ stuff for everybody on the ML on request. The material is fragile, and it's also a matter of time and effort, since I have to take things into work to make copies. I'm willing to share information with the whole list and take part in the discussions and all that, of course, and if someone wanted to put the Nolan checklist on a website I'd be glad to lend my copy for that purpose since everybody could benefit (although whoever does it should get Nolan's permission -- after all, Nolan is still around and can probably be reached through CBM). But for right now, I have to draw the line somewhere when it comes to individual requests. Boucher also suggested we could write fan fiction for the ML featuring the characters. My guess is that ArchieCo would take a really dim view of that, since they own the characters and seem to want to maintain that ownership in case something ever comes along they can use them again. Of course, fan fiction is all over the Net wherever there are fans of whatever commercial property, and I haven't heard of corporate owners complaining (in fact, I've always heard that Paramount has been mildly supportive of Star Trek fan fiction and there have been authorized collections of the stuff). It may be that for most big companies, fans on the Net are considered small fry and not worth the trouble to squelch -- but Archie is a small, family-owned company known to be vigilant about protecting its ownership of things, not to mention uncomfortable with organized fandom outside the casual newsstand market of non-fan kids it normally sells to, and might just be small enough to notice us. Myself, I think that fan fiction is just asking for trouble, though I wouldn't mind being proved wrong about this. --Dwight Decker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

After this, though...I realized right after someone asked me to make a copy of the Nolan checklist for him that I have to announce that I can't make copies of MLJ stuff for everybody on the ML on request. The material is fragile, and it's also a matter of time and effort, since I have to take things into work to make copies. I'm willing to share information with the whole list and take part in the discussions and all that, of course, and if someone wanted to put the Nolan checklist on a website I'd be glad to lend my copy for that purpose since everybody could benefit (although whoever does it should get Nolan's permission -- after all, Nolan is still around and can probably be reached through CBM). But for right now, I have to draw the line somewhere when it comes to individual requests. Boucher also suggested we could write fan fiction for the ML featuring the characters. My guess is that ArchieCo would take a really dim view of that, since they own the characters and seem to want to maintain that ownership in case something ever comes along they can use them again. Of course, fan fiction is all over the Net wherever there are fans of whatever commercial property, and I haven't heard of corporate owners complaining (in fact, I've always heard that Paramount has been mildly supportive of Star Trek fan fiction and there have been authorized collections of the stuff). It may be that for most big companies, fans on the Net are considered small fry and not worth the trouble to squelch -- but Archie is a small, family-owned company known to be vigilant about protecting its ownership of things, not to mention uncomfortable with organized fandom outside the casual newsstand market of non-fan kids it normally sells to, and might just be small enough to notice us. Myself, I think that fan fiction is just asking for trouble, though I wouldn't mind being proved wrong about this. --Dwight Decker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups. --WebTV-Mail-2043238384-2884-- From "Kris Brownlow" Sat Sep 26 23:24:15 1998 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com Precedence: list X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 22615 invoked by uid 7770); 27 Sep 1998 06:24:13 -0000 Received: from f244.hotmail.com (HELO hotmail.com) (207.82.251.135) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 27 Sep 1998 06:24:13 -0000 Received: (qmail 7721 invoked by uid 0); 27 Sep 1998 06:23:48 -0000 Message-ID: <19980927062348.7720.qmail@hotmail.com> Received: from 209.240.199.51 by www.hotmail.com with HTTP; Sat, 26 Sep 1998 23:23:47 PDT X-Originating-IP: [209.240.199.51] From: "Kris Brownlow" To: mightycomics@egroups.com Content-Type: text/plain Date: Sat, 26 Sep 1998 23:23:47 PDT Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Fan Fiction >Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com >From: pamric@webtv.net (Richard and Pamela Boucher) >Date: Sat, 26 Sep 1998 23:04:51 -0700 (PDT) >To: mightycomics@egroups.com >Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Fan Fiction > >Hello to all, >It was never my intention to infringe on ArchieCo legal property rights >with the idea of fan fiction.I agree with Kris that this would be wrong >to do unless ArchieCo were to pre-aprove such fiction. >I would be more than happy to email Archie in the matter of this to see >if this is something they would or would not approve.Obviously if Archie >would NOT approve such fan fiction I (and everyone else) should abide by >this decision,after all the characters ARE their legal property,and I >for one would not want to infringe on their intellectual properies.My >deepest apologies for creating such a situation that would ruin all our >enjoyment and fun.Once again please understand that the idea was >intended to SHOW ArchieCo,that there are people out there who miss their >characters,and would really like to see them flourish again.Thank you >one and all. >Sincerely, > >RICHARD BOUCHER > > Hi, Richard: Not to worry, no apologies are needed, and you certainly are NOT ruining our "enjoyment and fun".

I understand there have been officially authorized collections of the stuff, which, besides having one more thing to sell, gives Paramount the opportunity to stick the copyright and trademark labels on it. I'm not sure what you're saying I "obviously missed in the last couple of years," though, since I was only talking about fan fiction, not the visual material that Paramount has been cracking down on, and you say that fan fiction hasn't been the target. Anyway, I can't imagine ArchieCo being very enthusiastic about fan-created fiction using ArchieCo's characters. ArchieCo is small enough to notice and protective enough of its bread and butter (its characters are all it has to sell) to take steps. However, our esteemed Listmeister has made a ruling making the point moot, so... --Dwight Decker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

Dwight, I got the impression that you were saying that Paramount's attitude towards fandom in general has been generally benign (for whatever reasons) -- and while that HAD been true for many years, I think things slowly began to change after Roddenberry's death. At any rate, I guess fans had been lulled into a false sense of security, and there was somewhat of an uproar when Paramount began agressively challenging the use of its copyrighted property on the web. As I said, the main bone of contention does seem to be images; still, I don't know that if you put fan-fiction featuring Paramount's Star Trek characters up on a website (even if you used your own fan-art to illustrate the stories, as opposed to copyrighted images), that Paramount wouldn't pursue the matter just as forcefully as if you were mainly using Star Trek images on the site. My point being that it seems that what might have seemed innocuous or trivial to Paramount as a print item with a circulation of a few hundred or thousand copies, becomes a big deal just because it is using the medium of the internet (particularly if there's some record of internet traffic to the site), and Paramount I think wants to establish legal precedent early on with regards to this relatively new medium, while cyberlaw is still being established. In fact, since their campaign against web-based copyright infractions began, they have also decided to agressively pursue authors and publishers who attempt to capitalize on Star Trek's popularity by writing unauthorized books (non- fiction) about Trek; Paramount (quite rightly, I think) sees these as unfairly competitive to its own licensed publishing projects. So, regardless of Paramount's attitudes towards fan-generated Trek material in the past, it seems like the old rules have changed recently.

Here is the 60s part of the index. By way of explanation, a few remarks. I didn't bother to try to index PVT. STRONG, THE FLY and THE JAGUAR, since (a) I am still missing issues of those runs, and (b) Robin Snyder already ran indices of his own to those titles as text pages in the 80s titles. With the exception of THE SHADOW, I treated the rest of the Mighty group as a single title, and listed the books in order of publication. This may seem a bit confusing at first, but since so many characters appeared in so few titles, it actually helps to follow the chronological appearances of any given character. Also, the list was originally in a table format in AmiPro 3.0, so it has lost all its formatting in changing it to ASCII text for this email. LMK if you're interested in doing anything with this, I'm sure I can get you a more readable copy.

Well, great work on this index! The formatting came out very well on my system. All I think I need to do is make a few spacing adjustments and I'll have this up on the web page pretty quick. It will make a fine addition to to webpage...it's very infomative and I, for one, like it done in chronological order of publication. This is similar to the way Greg Theakston has set up his complete Kirby book...at firstglance I thought the book's setup was odd, but actually it makes complete sense to do it this way. Thanks for going to all this effort. I wouldn't worry too much about the Impact line. In fact, I could probably do an index on Parobeck's Fly, but I don't have any of the other titles except that last thing they did...can't even recall what it was called "crisis on the Impact Universe"? ;-) Btw I ran over to the archive...the index also seemed to format on there pretty nicely as well.

Well, great work on this index! The formatting came out very well on my system. All I think I need to do is make a few spacing adjustments and I'll have this up on the web page pretty quick. It will make a fine addition to to webpage...it's very infomative and I, for one, like it done in chronological order of publication. This is similar to the way Greg Theakston has set up his complete Kirby book...at firstglance I thought the book's setup was odd, but actually it makes complete sense to do it this way. Thanks for going to all this effort. I wouldn't worry too much about the Impact line. In fact, I could probably do an index on Parobeck's Fly, but I don't have any of the other titles except that last thing they did...can't even recall what it was called "crisis on the Impact Universe"? ;-) Btw I ran over to the archive...the index also seemed to format on there pretty nicely as well.

Here is the 60s part of the index. By way of explanation, a few remarks. I didn't bother to try to index PVT. STRONG, THE FLY and THE JAGUAR, since (a) I am still missing issues of those runs, and (b) Robin Snyder already ran indices of his own to those titles as text pages in the 80s titles. With the exception of THE SHADOW, I treated the rest of the Mighty group as a single title, and listed the books in order of publication. This may seem a bit confusing at first, but since so many characters appeared in so few titles, it actually helps to follow the chronological appearances of any given character. Also, the list was originally in a table format in AmiPro 3.0, so it has lost all its formatting in changing it to ASCII text for this email. LMK if you're interested in doing anything with this, I'm sure I can get you a more readable copy.

When he "swoops" it juts out like wings, but it's not like Hawkman or anything. I think the Black Condor comparison is the closest I can make. It's not attached at the wrists like Condor's and it's scalloped to look like wings. And like I said there's two pieces, a small one on top and a larger one underneath. Like the Black Condor it's sort of a pullover thing. It's longer in back, but it does come down in the front.

So which is your favorite incarnation of the MC's? I'm partial to the Red Circle era myself, in fact I just reread them all. Does anyone else wonder who the traitor was going to be in the last issue? I always thought it would be the Shield (military ties and all). Sadly, I'll never know for sure. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, you now have an excuse to go through your back issues. -Paris -Paris ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

(It would probably be helpful if you followed the same format I used, so Kris could just append it to the index he's posting on his website). The 80s FLY ran their own indices for these two titles, as well as for the FLY's appearances in PEP and LAUGH. Those indices also provided creator credits (something I couldn't be 100% positive about in every instance, so I just avoided listing credits and concentrated on following the hero and villain appearances). One of these days I'll get around to indexing the 80s issues as well, so be patient. I used a table format with the following fields: date title # main character(s) villain(s) story title YY/MM THE FLY 18 FLY, FLY GIRL, etc. Spider Spry "The Return of the Spider" etc. I also tried to index all the one-page advertisements for other superhero titles, since they were often done in strip form, and text stories, if they were based on the superhero characters.

I know PEP and LAUGH ran short stories of FLY and JAGUAR during the time those titles were being published -- are you sure of your information on that (I assume you meant post-MIGHTY COMICS #50)???

I always thought that done right, the Crusaders had the potential to rival the JLA or The Avengers in greatness -- just a fabulous collection of interesting characters who each have a unique look.

We do have a few "lurkers" on this list whose e-mail addresses I don't recognize, so it's possible that one of them is an Archie rep...but this, most likely, is merely wishful thinking on my part. It is my personal policy here to permit "lurking" and to assure their privacy, so I don't require them to reveal their names and I would never give out their addresses without their permission. So if there should happen to be an Archie rep among our membership, it would be up to them to reveal their presence here. As I've mentioned before, I did e-mail ArchieCo and informed them of what we were doing here. And I agree with you that we should always give Archie © credit on any images or original art we use on our webpages, which, as you know, I've done on the Mighty-L homepage. I certainly acknowledge ArchieCo's ownership of these characters and should they ever issue me any directives regarding Mighty-L or the webpage, I would abide by their wishes. It's not my desire to step on ArchieCo's toes or undermine their ownership of these characters. My recent ruling on fan-fiction is a good example. Although I personally like the idea of fan-fiction, I can see that the possibility exists where ArchieCo would frown on this, and as much as I detest censorship, I would be forced to remove any entries of this nature from the archive in order to protect what I feel are ArchieCo's interests. I think by participating here and discussing these characters that we are all helping to promote this line of comic books and that we are acting in good faith with ArchieCo. It is my hope that ArchieCo looks on our activities in the same manner. Regards, Kris btw in case anyone is curious, the last time I checked, we now have 25 members here. ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

One thing I've always tried to collect over the years has been the JLA, Avengers, Crusaders and the THUNDER Agents. They were the best of the best and it was great to see the interaction between individual characters that had their own lives as well. My wish now would to see the Crusaders back in their own title and someone creating their adventures with the love and attention they deserve. BTW, I've collected the various series throughout the years, (Including the Impact line), and was wondering if they ever had any adventures outside of their own titles?

One thing I've always tried to collect over the years has been the JLA, Avengers, Crusaders and the THUNDER Agents. They were the best of the best and it was great to see the interaction between individual characters that had their own lives as well. My wish now would to see the Crusaders back in their own title and someone creating their adventures with the love and attention they deserve. BTW, I've collected the various series throughout the years, (Including the Impact line), and was wondering if they ever had any adventures outside of their own titles?

It would be nice to have connections in that direction so we have some >idea of their official positions on some issues. > >--Dwight Decker > Hi, Dwight: At this time I've had no official confirmation from ArchieCo as to whether they are following this list or not. We do have a few "lurkers" on this list whose e-mail addresses I don't recognize, so it's possible that one of them is an Archie rep...but this, most likely, is merely wishful thinking on my part. It is my personal policy here to permit "lurking" and to assure their privacy, so I don't require them to reveal their names and I would never give out their addresses without their permission. So if there should happen to be an Archie rep among our membership, it would be up to them to reveal their presence here. As I've mentioned before, I did e-mail ArchieCo and informed them of what we were doing here. And I agree with you that we should always give Archie © credit on any images or original art we use on our webpages, which, as you know, I've done on the Mighty-L homepage. I certainly acknowledge ArchieCo's ownership of these characters and should they ever issue me any directives regarding Mighty-L or the webpage, I would abide by their wishes. It's not my desire to step on ArchieCo's toes or undermine their ownership of these characters. My recent ruling on fan-fiction is a good example. Although I personally like the idea of fan-fiction, I can see that the possibility exists where ArchieCo would frown on this, and as much as I detest censorship, I would be forced to remove any entries of this nature from the archive in order to protect what I feel are ArchieCo's interests. I think by participating here and discussing these characters that we are all helping to promote this line of comic books and that we are acting in good faith with ArchieCo. It is my hope that ArchieCo looks on our activities in the same manner. Regards, Kris btw in case anyone is curious, the last time I checked, we now have 25 members here. ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups. --WebTV-Mail-1159288908-3770-- From pamric@webtv.net (Richard and Pamela Boucher) Tue Sep 29 21:20:30 1998 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com Precedence: list X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 10712 invoked by uid 7770); 30 Sep 1998 04:20:29 -0000 Received: from mailsorter-105.iap.bryant.webtv.net (HELO mailsorter-105.bryant.webtv.net) (207.79.35.95) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 30 Sep 1998 04:20:29 -0000 Received: from mailtod-141.iap.bryant.webtv.net (mailtod-141.iap.bryant.webtv.net [207.79.35.128]) by mailsorter-105.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.8/ms.gso.08Dec97) with ESMTP id VAA10969; Tue, 29 Sep 1998 21:20:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from production@localhost) by mailtod-141.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.5/mt.gso.26Feb98) id VAA20047; Tue, 29 Sep 1998 21:20:28 -0700 (PDT) X-WebTV-Signature: 1 ETAtAhRs+uGBF3lcQlo1siSnyPVGhW2gUAIVAMF4sIpBPwoIrtuZ8ZsGI5jeo3eJ From: pamric@webtv.net (Richard and Pamela Boucher) Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1998 21:20:28 -0700 (PDT) To: mightycomics@egroups.com Message-ID: <27741-3611B18C-836@mailtod-141.iap.bryant.webtv.net> Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed; Boundary=WebTV-Mail-888921639-501 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit MIME-Version: 1.0 (WebTV) Subject: [mightycomics] Re: A Message from Stan Smith --WebTV-Mail-888921639-501 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit A hello to Stan, I like the site and am working on the index for the Fly & Jaguar issues.As soon as I'm done,I'll let you know.See ya!

HI Paul, Point 1) superteams I think have always had an universal appeal of people working together for a common cause.BTW,nice to see someone mention the THUNDER Agents,there's another non-utilized team that everyone seems to have forgotten. Of all the comics never produced by the big two, Mighty Crusaders and THUNDER Agents were my favourites. Hopefully the hints about new series' for both these teams will eventuate. Point 2) I think we ALL miss the Crusaders.As a team they were always "almost" great,it's just that it seems Archie never wants to commit to them and give them the attention the Mighty guys deserve. I totally agree. The thing is, I could see them working in something like Kurt Busieks Astro City. That'd be something. :) Point 3)NO,not to my knowledge,they've never appeared anywhere else.I'll ya@ ya soon. Thanks! It always worries me. You think you've read the lot, but some little known issue of another title could be lurking.....

The Crusaders appearing outside their own title? A couple of appearances in Blue Ribbon Comics and Fly-Man is all that come to mind. I think there was a cameo in Archie's Madhouse, too.

True, very true. What it does do is assert your good intentions -- that you're doing this out of love for the characters, that you're not claiming ownership of the characters, that you're not trying to make any money off the characters at the owners' expense. And that's mainly to keep the owners of the characters from coming after you in the first place so that it doesn't come down to convincing courts of law of anything. From what I've read about "fair use" (the current Chicago Manual of Style has a discussion of it), it comes down to this: you're allowed to use samples of somebody else's property. Samples, excerpts, quotations. But only up to some ill-defined point. The rule of thumb for prose seems to be that if you quote so much that your reader doesn't have to buy the original, that's not fair use. Depriving the owner of a sale is the key factor. Adapting that to comics, you can reprint panels to illustrate an article but not whole stories. It may be argued that it can't be depriving ArchieCo of a sale if you reprint some 1942 Hangman story they're never going to reprint themselves, but that's not the point: they own the character and the story, and whether they decide to reprint it or not is their choice. (And if you're in a position to reprint an entire 1942 Hangman story -- hey, get in touch with ArchieCo, get permission, pay the licensing fees, and do it right! There's a bunch of people on this List who'll love you for it!) As for original material featuring the characters, comics fanzines have traditionally run spot illustrations that no one has ever seemed to mind. For the companies owning the characters, fanzines may have been too low-level to worry about or else it was considered free publicity and promotion. But spot illos are one thing -- actual stories or strips featuring the characters are another. Then you're actually using the characters. Back in the '60s, Bill DuBay was doing a series of retold origins for various characters for a fanzine. Although they were just short illustrated summaries, Marvel requested that he cease and desist as far as their characters were concerned. He had crossed the line from illustrated articles to actually doing comic strips with their characters, in Marvel's view. Even with the proper copyright/ownership notice, it was probably a matter of affecting Marvel's licensing position. If they let him use their characters for free, how could they charge somebody else big bucks. Then there's parody, a whole other can of worms. I remember the Comics Journal once ran a gag cartoon showing Dennis the Menace having given Charlie Brown a black eye. The Journal heard from the syndicate that handles Peanuts, and They Were Not Happy. The letter said you don't own Charlie Brown so don't do it again. No problem, said the boys at the Journal. It was a one-shot gag cartoon, not a series, and they had no plans of "doing it again." So they ignored the letter and never heard anything again. Which may illustrate a quasi-legal principle in the world of publishing that You Can Do Anything Once. You do it, you get a letter telling you to stop, you don't do it again, no sweat. (Depending on how egregious what you did was and how anxious to pursue the matter the owners are. I remember hearing DC had to settle with the Herge estate after publishing a Superman story that went somewhere beyond a homage to Tintin or a parody of Tintin and pretty much just plain used the Tintin characters outright.) I'm not a lawyer and I'm not an expert in these matters, so I may be just exposing my ignorance for all the world to see. But it seems to me that non-commercially published spot illos featuring the characters with the appropriate copyright notice would be fine to all concerned. --Dwight Decker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

The example I'll use to possibly illustrate the issue is this: Person x publishes a "who's who" of golden age material (heroes/heroines ect.) ,using new artwork, spot illistrations only,for one time,on each character published,acknowledging each and every copyright,to the respective owner of each character,dating said copyright as of whatever current year said magazine is published,with a disclaimer stating that no infringement,or claim to ownership,is intended.Also one would state that the magazine is for historical reference purposes only.In this instance, since the original "new" image is to be used only once and never again,I think you will find that this will fall under the "fair use" clause for copyrights and trademarks.Perhaps I'm wrong,but this should protect the said "person x" from any legal reprisal from any of the copyright/trademark holders.Thats my thought anyway.

(It would probably be helpful if you followed the same format I used, so Kris could just append it to the index he's posting on his website). The 80s FLY ran their own indices for these two titles, as well as for the FLY's appearances in PEP and LAUGH. Those indices also provided creator credits (something I couldn't be 100% positive about in every instance, so I just avoided listing credits and concentrated on following the hero and villain appearances). One of these days I'll get around to indexing the 80s issues as well, so be patient. I used a table format with the following fields: date title # main character(s) villain(s) story title YY/MM THE FLY 18 FLY, FLY GIRL, etc. Spider Spry "The Return of the Spider" etc. I also tried to index all the one-page advertisements for other superhero titles, since they were often done in strip form, and text stories, if they were based on the superhero characters.

There may not be any trouble, but then again... Usually, if you haven't made hordes of money on such a project, the worst that could happen would be that DC might express its desire for you not to continue using its characters in such a fashion. "Fair use" is kind of an ill-defined gray area. Really, it all depends on how much the copyright holder wants to make a point. As Dwight pointed out, more often than not, they can be good sports about it -- but the law is usually on their side, and they tend to have more and better lawyers. On the other hand, such "character handbooks" as you described have been done in the past, including Bill Black's fairly recent "Golden Age Hero and Heroine Directory", without any problems. It's largely a judgment call, but I'd stay away from using any Disney or Star Trek characters, just to be on the safe side.

If you reduced the size of both the picture and the text, maybe you could fit two characters (illo & text) per page? That would reduce 2000 pages to a more manageable 500 pages. Just an idea. And again, are we talking a black & white no-frills kinda printing job, or color offset? So many variables. Although I think you could do a 500-page phone book-type thing and have it printed cheaply enough to make it at least break even. (Of course that doesn't compensate you for the man-hours that went into the work, but I'm assuming we'd have to consider this a labor of love.)

Hi, everybody! I joined the list a couple of days ago, so I thought I'd take the time to introduce myself. I know at least a couple of people on the list through e-mail, but I'm sure most of you have no idea who I am. My name is Bill Nolan. I'm 28 and work as a production manager at a small Southern NH weekly newspaper. When I first started going to cons (when I was about 15), I was lucky enough to pick up a lot of the Mighty Comics material, which was a lot cheaper back then. I've always been a big fan of those characters as well as the characters from Charlton and Tower. As a lot of you may know, I put together an on-line Golden Age reprint 'zine called "Pure Excitement Comics." No MLJ stuff, but mostly very obscure mysterymen stuff. Here's the URL: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Chamber/1599/excitement.html These are all characters who are believed to be in the public domain (defunct publishers). No DC, no Marvel, and for that matter, no Quality or Fawcett. I also have a web site featuring classic "in-house" comic book advertising, those ads used by publishers to promote their own books. There's usually at least one neat Mighty Comics ad each month. Here's the URL for that: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Chamber/1599/prescription.html Both sites are updated monthly and can be accessed through my main page at: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Chamber/1599/ (best for bookmarking!) I also plan to start an on-line gallery featuring obscure and not-so-obscure Golden Age mysterymen. This site is still in the early planning stages. This is where I may feature some MLJ characters, since reprinting the stories outright would not be wise. It will feature original artwork, in color, and short descriptions of the heroes. Oh, and in my spare time, I go on eBay and get outbid by LKFine (Paris). ;) That's all for now, - Bill ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

The relation between The Shadow "of Wall Street" and Gibson's Shadow is about the same as that between "The Hulk" (aka Xemnu, the Living Titan) and The Incredible Hulk (aka Robert Bruce Banner). Fans seem to dote on discovering a "prototype" of that sort.

I have been juggling a couple of different non-MLJ webpage projects and am a little bleary eyed right now. In regards to Mighty-L I have switched the links to reflect Stan's new address in Geocities and have just put up a new page with a photo of Paul Reinman and Jerry Siegel...eventually I will put up some bio information as well...there is no link to this page yet but here is the direct address: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Stargate/1444/Mcreators.htm I'll try to get on that index page as I know it looks quite ugly right now...but at least the info is up there for all to see...even though it's not spaced well. btw haven't checked to see if there are anymore "out of towners" so Stan gets the job of offical European MLJ spokesman. Stan your voice speaks for an entire continent now...until someone else shows up anyway. Regards, Kris The Fly Lives!

Unless there is someone else I don't know about, that would make me the Australian spokesman! :) In Sydney to be more specific. Which is why I don't see a lot of Mighty Comics stuff floating around here. Took me ages just to track down the Mighty Crusaders let alone any other titles. Actually there are a few "nostalgic" comic shops spread around the country. If anyone wants to, you can send me a wish list I can check around for. Particularly as the Aussie dollar is half the US at the moment, you could probably get stuff quite cheap.

Unless there is someone else I don't know about, that would make me the Australian spokesman! :) In Sydney to be more specific. Which is why I don't see a lot of Mighty Comics stuff floating around here. Took me ages just to track down the Mighty Crusaders let alone any other titles. Actually there are a few "nostalgic" comic shops spread around the country. If anyone wants to, you can send me a wish list I can check around for. Particularly as the Aussie dollar is half the US at the moment, you could probably get stuff quite cheap.

The relation between The Shadow "of Wall Street" and Gibson's Shadow is about the same as that between "The Hulk" (aka Xemnu, the Living Titan) and The Incredible Hulk (aka Robert Bruce Banner).

This same thing recently occured with another member, who, to protect his identity, I will simply refer to as "The Phantom Skull";-) Just so everyone is aware, if you use a different e-mail account from the one you subscribed under, "makelist" will not recognize it and will then send it to my box for approval. I certainly don't mind "approving" your letters (even though this list is supposed to be UNmoderated) but it can slow down your delivery time to the list depending on how often I check my mailbox.

I've read all the Hangman stories that appeared in Sepcial/Hangman/Black Hood, but there are a bunch of Pep appearances that have eluded my grasp. Does Heike go into any of the behind-the-scenes details, like creator and/or writers, why the first issue of the comic was provisionally called Special, any of the background thinking behind the character, or are these facts lost down the merciless gullet of Time because everyone concerned is now dead? I've come to a number of very tentative working hypotheses based on what I've read and heard, as follows: 1. The key idea man at MLJ was the editor, Harry Shorten (who I believe was also the guiding hand behind the Thunder Agents some 25 years later). 2. Shorten was probably the one who worked up the idea to kill the Comet and replace him with his brother. 3. The Hangman was MLJ's deliberate imitation of Batman. 4. Despite the lurid name and imagery, the Hangman never actually hanged anybody -- he was not a self-appointed executioner, even though there has been confusion on the point by people who hear the name but have never read any of the stories. Golden Age stories could get wild and over the top with violence (Hangman #3 may set some kind of benchmark in that regard, with a Japanese axeman cutting off people's heads, but he was the villain), but I think the MLJ staff realized the character couldn't be an actual killer even in the name of justice and still be a hero. Er...have I erred in any of this? Incidentally, if anyone wants to do a history of MLJ at this late date, I'm told that Irv Novick is still alive. He was a key player from the beginning, their mainstay artist, and might still remember things like editorial conferences where new characters were discussed. I'm not sure about anyone else. --Dwight Decker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

I've read all the Hangman stories that appeared in Sepcial/Hangman/Black Hood, but there are a bunch of Pep appearances that have eluded my grasp. Does Heike go into any of the behind-the-scenes details, like creator and/or writers, why the first issue of the comic was provisionally called Special, any of the background thinking behind the character, or are these facts lost down the merciless gullet of Time because everyone concerned is now dead? I've come to a number of very tentative working hypotheses based on what I've read and heard, as follows: 1. The key idea man at MLJ was the editor, Harry Shorten (who I believe was also the guiding hand behind the Thunder Agents some 25 years later). 2. Shorten was probably the one who worked up the idea to kill the Comet and replace him with his brother. 3. The Hangman was MLJ's deliberate imitation of Batman. 4. Despite the lurid name and imagery, the Hangman never actually hanged anybody -- he was not a self-appointed executioner, even though there has been confusion on the point by people who hear the name but have never read any of the stories. Golden Age stories could get wild and over the top with violence (Hangman #3 may set some kind of benchmark in that regard, with a Japanese axeman cutting off people's heads, but he was the villain), but I think the MLJ staff realized the character couldn't be an actual killer even in the name of justice and still be a hero. Er...have I erred in any of this? Incidentally, if anyone wants to do a history of MLJ at this late date, I'm told that Irv Novick is still alive. He was a key player from the beginning, their mainstay artist, and might still remember things like editorial conferences where new characters were discussed. I'm not sure about anyone else. --Dwight Decker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups. --WebTV-Mail-461955016-978-- From pamric@webtv.net (Richard and Pamela Boucher) Wed Oct 7 19:19:13 1998 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com Precedence: list X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 4441 invoked by uid 7770); 8 Oct 1998 02:19:10 -0000 Received: from mailsorter-105.iap.bryant.webtv.net (HELO mailsorter-105.bryant.webtv.net) (207.79.35.95) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 8 Oct 1998 02:19:10 -0000 Received: from mailtod-142.iap.bryant.webtv.net (mailtod-142.iap.bryant.webtv.net [207.79.35.129]) by mailsorter-105.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.8/ms.gso.08Dec97) with ESMTP id TAA06533; Wed, 7 Oct 1998 19:19:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from production@localhost) by mailtod-142.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.8/mt.gso.26Feb98) id TAA28729; Wed, 7 Oct 1998 19:19:06 -0700 (PDT) X-WebTV-Signature: 1 ETAsAhRgJdt2AulJFUAY53/jT2ZUnGbVvQIUDkcPn0AeNn3Ma6zk+b2G9t4yZzw= From: pamric@webtv.net (Richard and Pamela Boucher) Date: Wed, 7 Oct 1998 19:19:06 -0700 (PDT) To: mightycomics@egroups.com Message-ID: <28060-361C211A-4200@mailtod-142.iap.bryant.webtv.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 (WebTV) Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Hangman Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed; Boundary=WebTV-Mail-1726397277-2310 --WebTV-Mail-1726397277-2310 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" content-transfer-encoding: 7Bit content-type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII I think ALL the AC books are worth the price,now if they were just in color!

I just got through reading an interesting article @ Comic Book Network,in short it was a telling story of why the comics industry is in such dire straights.After reading this,it made "me" think of why I don't hardly buy any "new" comics.First I thought of the most recent purchase I had made,which was JLA year1,the first reason I bought the book was for the cover,depicting old heroes of yore behind a prison fence,(i'll get back to that) once inside I was flung into a storyline that was followable but not much else.Mostly the book to me was one big long fight scene,and remembering that this was issue 11 of a 12 part story didn't help.As usual the book climaxes (to be continued) @ the end with all the heroes freed,ready to have the "showdown" with the bad guys next issue.Point?Next issue will be another 40 page long fight scene with no dicernable outcome.Why does this bother me?In the article I read a fact popped up,though not to my surprise,that Archie sells over a million copies a month of it's books,while Dc and Marvel are lucky to sell 70k each on over 20 or 30 tiles,who are all interelated.Archies stories pretty much begin and end with every issue.DC and Marvel are never ending story lines.Also you walk into any 7-11,Ralf's grocery store,ect,and you find Archie,where's DC,Where's Marvel?At the specialty shops (and so's Archie).Why is this?I think it is because you just can't pick up a DC or Marvel and read the story in one issue as you can with Archie.What does all this lead to?No new fans.Shure we know where to go and get our "fixes" at,but do I see anyone there really interested in what they are buying,or is it habit?When I was first buying comics,you would typically get 2 to 3 stories in 1 issue,shure once in a while you'd get a DC 2 parter.Marvel always ran 2 or 3 issue story lines,but you didn't have to buy every darn book a company published just to read a story.Why am I writing this?It's simple,if there are no "new" readers,someday there won't be any new books to read,as we will all have gotten bored trying to read stories that never end,or are constantly trying to tell stories that are written soley to straighten out some bit of continuity that only a few care about.What happens when the big 2 only sell 10k on each title?I thnk then comics will only survive as marketing tools for merchandizing rights to games, movies, toys,and so on.What then happens to old comics,do they become more valuable?Something tells me that no they won't,because who's new to come along and buy them,when we've all gone away? Archie was smart,they licenced there super heroes to DC to see if there was a market for their characters.Let DC spend the money,let Dc fall flat on their face,after all Archie (the character)now outsells just about any single DC or Marvel book.SO why would they want to do a revival on their own,when a so called super hero expert company like DC can't make it work for their own popular characters.I think we all know the answer. Oh yes those old guys behind a prison fence, locked away and helpless,kind of sad isn't it.

Someone noted that some of the non comic book reading public look at comic shops as being akin to porn shops. The fact that kids can not pick up a DC or Marvel comic at the local 7-11 really hurts these companys IMO. I would really love to see what kind of sales figures "The Fly" or "The Mighty Crusaders" would get today if ArchieCo had them out on the newstands with the Archie Andrews Comics. The Fly might outsell X-men for all we know. I also think something like "Big Bang" would benefit from newstand sales. Comics used to be an impulse buy. As a kid, it is very easy to convince a parent to drive up to the 7-11 (Mom needs to buy milk). I would imagine it's much harder for a child to convince a parent that we need to drive up to the comic shop and buy comics. Also, the Fly can beat up Spiderman...just thought you'd like to know.

The Fly might outsell X-men > for all we know. Uh...look at those figures again. "Archie sells over a million copies a month of its books" versus "Dc and Marvel are lucky to sell 70k each on over 20 or 30 tiles." One set of figures gives ArchieCo's total sales for all titles combined, the other Marvel and DC's individual book sales. The last time I looked at the published circulation figures in the Archie comics themselves, sales like on titles like Betty were in the 40,000 and below range. I think Sonic is their best-selling title (but that's licensed, so they don't get all the money) -- dunno how Sabrina is doing, though you'd think it ought to be doing pretty well since it has TV exposure and all. My take on the situation is that ArchieCo is in a fairly awful spot. Their titles don't do well in comic shops, which cater to an older crowd, while their real-world distribution sources like newsstands, drugstores, etc. are drying up. ArchieCo is the last of the traditional comic-book companies that depends mainly on traditional outlets and the traditional widdle-kid/casual-reader audience (which these days isn't exactly buying comic books in droves). Without knowing any of the behind-the-scenes details, my guess is that the regular Archie comics barely sell enough any more to make a little profit, and their purpose these days is mainly for exposure and to generate material later reprinted in the Archie Digests you see at every supermarket checkout line, practically. The Digests are all reprint and probably cost very little to produce, and are probably a major contributor to the black ink in ArchieCo's ledgers. --Dwight Decker ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.

With all the misc. petitions which have been floating around cyberspace recently, I thought maybe I should start one of my own... I propose that we urge Archie Comics to publish high-quality collections for its Golden Age material, similar to DC's archives series. I would definitely buy a Steel Sterling, Shield, etc. collection. I would prefer a historical reprint series (all stories in order), but even multiple "Golden Age of MLJ" TPBs similar to Marvel's recent offerings would be fantastic. I acknowledge that Archie may not want to be associated with some of the material (ie. deaths, decapitations, etc.), so maybe they could publish the books under a different imprint. Or, perhaps they could license another publisher to do it (Kitchen Sink?). The second option would help of Archie no longer possesses all the MLJ material or doesn't want to go through the effort of producing such collections. The company with the license could do all the work.

They appear to be putting their toe in the water and trying out the new 
version of the Mighty Crusader heroes - there's 12 panels relating the 
origin of the new Black Jack.

Very similar to Mike Parobeck's work...remember his stuff on Impact's Fly? btw I have put up a very temporary site where you can see the sketch of The Fly that Dick Ayers drew for me last week.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am a new suscriber to the list and I was beginning to wonder if anyone was here, myself. Sure would be nice to get some excitement going. As a kid, I really loved the Fly Man and Mighty Crusaders comics of the mid-1960's. One memory that stands out in my mind were the ad's being run for Steel Sterling #1 which never saw the light of day. For months, I scouted the comic book racks waiting for it to appear. Of course, the scripts for those stories by Jerry Siegel were a tad on the childish side, they were a lot of fun. I guess my all time favorite issue was Mighty Crusaders #4 where Archie re-introduced most of their super hero characters from the golden age. I would be interested to know what memories some of the rest of you have.

I was a big fan of the Strazewski-Parobeck "Fly" series although I felt the end of the run got somewhat weird and was a bit disappointing. Parobeck's art was fantastic through out.

Perhaps we could discuss which talents we'd like to see workng on the Mighty Crusaders.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Well, I am glad someone else has responded. I just signed up for this last week, and the first message I saw on it was my own. I was not alive when the Mighty Crusaders came out in the 60's. I wasn't born until 1978. I didn't catch the Red Circle versions until after the Impact versions were released. So, I may be a "johnny-come-lately", but I am still a big fan of the characters. I have been buying some of the silver age versions, and in reading them, I see the stories are REALLY cheesy. But that is just fine. It's fun. I just got a copy of The Shadow (the Archie super-hero version) #7, and I'm gonna read it tomorrow. I have an extra copy of Mighty Crusaders #6 that I got from Ebay. Anyone interested? Just let me know. I am not trying to make this a place to sell stuff, but it is very much on the subject, so I said it. Thank you. Let's make this place fun again.

The only thing I had wrong with it was Grant Meihm's artwork. He is a good artist, but all of the people looked the same, just different hair colors. when he drew the shield, though, it was amazing. The Comet started out great, but I thought it was crappy near the end. I know they got the notice to cancel the whole line, and because of that they had to tie up all the loose ends, but I just thought it was a crappy way to do it. The Fly was my favorite of the Impact titles. It is a really sad thing that Mike Parobeck died just recently. The Crusaders was a decent series. The Web just never attracted me very much. I like the one-person concept more than a government team. The Jaguar was interesting, but I'll leave it at that. I really liked the Black Hood series. The art and story were just great. Is there any non-title characters that anyone liked more in Impact than the Mighty version? The Crucible series was good, and I thought it was neat that they actually introduced Josh (Steel) Sterling. > Perhaps we could discuss which talents > we'd like to see workng on the Mighty Crusaders. I > think we discussed this some months ago but this time > let's take Alan Moore out of the equation and see if we > can think of some other talents;-) I would like to see Christopher Priest or Mark Waid (my two favorites) or Kevin Smith, but that's a stretch. As far as art goes? I like some of the artists from The Flash, like Pop Mhan, Mike Wieringo, and possibly some of the former Impact artists (like Rick Burchette ? the Black Hood artist). I also liked the art from the covers of the Red Circle Fly comics by Rudy (something that starts with an 'N'). Sorry I can't remember his name. He was an awesome cover artist. Anyway, I have taken up more than my fair share of space.

I am glad that the ball has started rolling. I am a relatively new subscriber myself. I have never read Golden Age MLJ comics. I own some Silver Age Mighty stuff (and just started reading some of it). I own (I think) all of the 1980's Red Circle stuff and have read some. I own and have read ALL of the !mpact stuff and enjoyed it very much. My "renewed" interests in these characters have been the Public Service Announcements in recent Archie titles called "Know Your Heroes" (or something like that.) I was floored when I flipped through a Sonic the Hedgehog comic and saw "Batman Animated"-style origins of Archie super-heroes. If you haven't seen them, start searching the Archie books. So far, I have found Black Hood, Steel Sterling, Shield and Black Jack (two pages for him!) I also realize they did a Comet one (I think) on the Archie website, but I would rather see it ON PAPER. (I hate waiting for the screens to "form"!) Suddenly, I am digging through my collection to see what I own and what I "need" to buy. I hope these PSAs are a sign of future Archie hero stuff to come. Well, I guess that is my "origin", group. Thanks for listening.

I prefer the earlier coembacks to !mpact because they kept the original characters as they were....

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Other talents to do the MLJ characters? I said my choices before, but I also think Rich Buckler would be a good one to draw some. The one main concern I have in bringing these guys back is that Archie doesn't try to get the "hot artists and writers" just for the sake of having a big name for the book. I think they need to get a good artist, and make it marketable to the public. We need quality, but I also don't want to see the comeback go down the whole. Make it a long-term thing. Now, having said all that, my suggestions for them would be: 1. change some of the outfits. I personally think the original Comet's costume was dumb, along with the second Comet. The one from Impact was better, but the best one I saw was the one used in the ads for Crucible. That costume never made an appearance except in that ad. A slightly differed version was used in Crucible #6, but it was not near as good. Other costume changes? Fly-Man (who should've stayed the Fly), and Fly-Girl (who I think needs a name change too). 2. Build the characters. Don't just write storiesd for them to get together and battle criminals. Make it something worth reading. 3. Get some bad guys that are not really dumb. The bad guys in the 60's comics were fun, but absolutely dumb. They had to be some deformed, or even non-human guy bent on destroying the world. There are petty thiefs. The rambler has spoken...

Agreed for the most part... although with the right spin, any character can be a good one. I've always (well, since I first heard of them) been a fan of the Crusaders, et al, and bought every issue of the Archie/Red Circle titles as they came out, as well as picking up the occasional back issue of the 1960's series here and there when I found a good price on 'em... when that line was cancelled, I waited and waited... Then, there was the article in the CBG about Archie bringing them back, but in very different forms. Utlimately, that idea was shelved. However, being the comics geek I am, I started thinking about what I'd do with the characters... I had just about gotten to the point of writing my thoughts and ideas down and trying to figure out how I could make a presentation to the Archie people about it, when... ...DC anounced !MPACT! Well, I bought those books, and enjoyed most of 'em (especially the Fly and the Comet), but it wasn't what I really wanted to see (I wanted to see my ideas, darnit! I had the same problem with the Planet of the Apes comics revival). However, I still bought 'em all, even the "Who's Who" stuff. Well, then those books ended... and every now and then, I've thought about the characters and what I'd like to do with them... and then I heard about the Crusaders info on the Archie web site, and then this list... there's obviously (to me, at least) interest in these characters, but someone's gotta do something with 'em! My ideas? I don't remember all of them exactly, but I do recall that I didn't want to invalidate any of the previously published stories if at all possible... no "10 years ago, the Shield made his first public appearance" stuff for me! For the most part, the original Crusaders would be retired (with some notable exceptions, i.e. those characters who would not have necessarily aged... the original Shield could easily be justified as still being active, as well as the Comet, Mr. Justice, and several others) or working in the role of "elder statesmen" of the superhero community, much like the JSA. Many of the identities would have been taken over by younger protoges (which in the case of the Black Hood was already a concept in use). The Fly would still be around, and he'd still be Tom Troy, but we'd learn that the Fly "body" didn't age... which explains why young Tommy Troy would become an adult Fly, while the adult Thomas Troy would appear to be about the same age. Fly-Girl would've retired long ago, having become tired of the whole super-hero schtick, while Tom would've become the Fly full-time, having no desire to be an elderly man. Most of the Crusaders' rogues gallery would be old and in prison or dead, except for the Brain Emperor, who would've finally decided to change his name to something a bit more dramatic... his appearance would be significantly altered as well. My ideas would be presented mainly in a "Mighty Crusaders" comic, with solo series planned for the Shield and the Fly initially, as well as a "Legends of the Crusaders" series dealing with stories of the original characters either singly or in groups. Miniseries and/or one-shots for the other characters would come out regularlly, with no more than one a month, as if it was a fourth title by itself without being a fourth title. And I'd definitely get on Archie Comics' butt to get an animated series on the market so we could have action figures (the old Remco ones were really bad... but I did have about four of 'em at one point)... and a "Mighty Crusaders Adventures" series, a la the animated Batman and Superman comics for the younger readers (although older ones would enjoy them too) would be a must also. Darn it, now I'm thinking about these guys and what I'd do with them again... and getting new ideas... curse you, Mighty Comics list! :P Jon Jon B.

I'm thinking of Black Hood #19 (the last issue, from about 1946, though some leftover stories that would have been in #20 ran in Pep to use them up). The Hood fought a pinheaded gangster called... NEEDLE NOODLE! It actually wasn't a bad story, if you like your heroes fighting relatively realistic criminals like gangsters rather than world-conquering super-villains. But Needle Noodle seemed to come straight out of the Dick Tracy School of Grotesque Villains, and kinda bothered me just to look at him even at my fairly advanced age. Mighty had to go some to top the name "Needle Noodle" for sheer weirdness. --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From "Bradley S.

I don't like his costume. I do think that some people need COMPLETE changes in costume. Like I said before, the Comet's costume (the mighty version) stunk. The premise was ok, bu the costume was YUCK! I did like the outfit for the Mighty BlackJack as opposed to the new one. Anyone else want to give any info on specific characters and their costumes? regarding your ideas, cool. It has been my dream to draw comics. I have a comic web page up if anyone wants to see it. But agreed that the Mighty characters need updating, but with the old history intact. Time needs to have elapsed since the old series. Oh well...I hope it comes soon. Talk to you all later!

Why not start a Crusaders one and use your idea's? I'm an animator/Illustrator and as I hinted above I'm working on a pic of the Crusaders in costumes I'm "updating" and I'll be happy for someone to look at them. I do a lot of art based on the characters I and others write and particularly I've been doing a THUNDER Agents fan fic in fits and starts as well. Basically whenever I have the time to add a chapter. To check it out, go to: http://members.tripod.com/Hulaguy/THUNDER.html Comments are welcome of course and I hope to one day see a Mighty Crusaders fan fic on the web.

I am sad to say that Crypt of the Claw was never published. Towards the end of my publishing days, I was eaten alive my distributors going out of business and stiffing me for the product. In about a four month period, I lost about $40,000 that way...and had no choice but to close up the business. Crypt of the Claw never got much beyond the planning stage, but it is possible that Mort Todd might have finished the script.

I'm really surprised that someones actually seen that site! The style is "Batman animated" pretty much because as an animator I just find myself falling into that style rather than the more realistic pictures I used to do.

I know Adventures of the Fly turned to Fly-Man (bad choice) at issue #30, and then at #40, turned to Mighty Comics Presents, and that ended at #50. Other than that, I am not really sure. Can anyone help? I am particularly interested in the Red Circle / Archie Adventure Series titles. Gotta run.

NEW YORK (AP) -- John L. Goldwater, creator of the syndicated comic character Archie, died Friday. He was 83. Goldwater grew up in East Harlem as an orphan and, as a teen-ager, left to travel across the country, working odd jobs as he went. He returned to New York several years later and worked loading magazines at the docks before creating the Archie character in 1941. Far from being a ``superhero,'' Archie is an average teen-ager with a penchant for getting into trouble. The red-haired character was an instant success and remained popular decades after his first appearance in print. In the late 1960s, Archie made his TV debut. In 1973, Goldwater wrote ``Americana in Four Colors.'' ``Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again,'' a television movie based on the Archie characters, was broadcast on NBC in 1990. Goldwater ran Archie Comic Publications until his retirement in 1983. The Archie comic books are now published in over 35 countries. Goldwater also founded the Comics Magazine Association of America and served as its president for 25 years. He was also a national commissioner of the Anti-Defamation League. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From burbank@net396.fidonet.org (Dean Sweatman) Sat Feb 27 16:52:11 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 21182 invoked by uid 7770); 28 Feb 1999 00:51:54 -0000 Received: from sstar.com (204.27.72.1) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 28 Feb 1999 00:51:54 -0000 Received: by net396.fidonet.org (0.99.970109) id AA03763; 27 Feb 99 18:39:27 -0600 From: burbank@net396.fidonet.org (Dean Sweatman) Date: 27 Feb 99 18:39:45 -0600 Message-ID: <021_9902271839@net396.fidonet.org> To: mightycomics@egroups.com Cc: u_cobbbs@FHU.EDU Subject: [mightycomics] Re: For the new guys Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > I am interested in reading that.

I was going to ask about what happened to Ace comics and what the current market is like for an independent publisher, but you kind of answered that in another posting. It looks to me like comic books as we've known them since the '30s are now in terminal meltdown and it's only a matter of time before they go the way of the Big Little Book. Kids just aren't reading comics any more, and kiddie comics like the Disneys (Gladstone just folded) aren't selling to a mass audience like they did when we were larvae. What keeps Archie going, I dunno, since that company never had a product that would do well in the comic shop market like Marvel and DC and it has had to depend on the vanishing "traditional" distribution outlets. Maybe the color comics are just loss-leaders to generate reprint material for the digests, which are sold in practically every grocery store check-out and probably don't suffer the same problems as dated periodicals where unsold copies are stripped and returned by a certain date. (Today's collapsing comics market does not bode well for any future revival of the superheroes, by the way. I can't see ArchieCo committing the massive bucks and resources it would take to establish a line of comics that could compete with Marvel and DC for a share of a shrinking market.) Anyway, I'd bet you wouldn't want to try your hand at publishing again in today's market... --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From Magilla445@aol.com Sun Feb 28 17:42:47 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 6184 invoked by uid 7770); 1 Mar 1999 01:42:30 -0000 Received: from imo11.mx.aol.com (198.81.17.1) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 1 Mar 1999 01:42:30 -0000 Received: from Magilla445@aol.com by imo11.mx.aol.com (IMOv18.1) id CSEZa04329 for ; Sun, 28 Feb 1999 20:42:05 +1900 (EST) From: Magilla445@aol.com Message-ID: <985c1b84.36d9f06d@aol.com> Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 20:42:05 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 4 Subject: [mightycomics] Dwight Decker and Archie Comics Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Dwight...from what I can tell, there is little or no market these days for an independent comic book publisher. There are lots of explanations, I guess. For at least 15 years, the two major publishers have done almost nothing to attract the kids and that is where the future of the business is. Then, distribution is always a major problem. The fact that Diamond managed to run everyone else out of the business speaks for itself. Archie always seem to have it's own unique spot in the comic books business. They have always worked their own side of the street with little in the way of competition. About twelve years ago, I had a long chat with the editor at Archie at the time, Victor Gorelick. Evidently, Archie sells more books overseas than they do in the United States. There was something said about Archie outselling DC in Canada at the time. So, I would imagine that as long as those overseas markets continue to flourish, so will Archie. I sincerely doubt that you will see Archie back in the super hero business anytime soon. But five or ten years down the line, who knows? Then, as you mentioned, Archie does well with their digest, reprinting old material. That is a nice gig when you can get it...production costs are next to nothing that way. I have several writing/publishing projects that I have been dabbling with for the past ten years. This time, I am looking at limited edition book publication. I had my fill last time out with the distributors and retailers. Made a ton of money for them and very little for myself....guess I never was much of a businessman...LOL. Some of those people are bandits. For example: One distributor went out of business, owing over $500,000 to publishers. Six months later, that distributor was publishing a line of comic books. Not hard to figure out where he got the money. Another distributor who owned a chain of comic book stores went bankrupt, but continued to operate his retail stores and a mail order business on the side. To this day, he continues to sell back issues of my comics which, incidentally, he never bothered to pay me for. Next time, I will sell direct to fans and collectors. Those bandits in retail and distribution will have to struggle along without my patronage. How about you, Doc....what are you doing these days?

I'd noticed that the Archie indicias give a name and address for their distributor in India, and I've seen stuff on the readers' pages from kids in places like Oman, so maybe they do go to some distant places where English is either spoken as the local language or where it's taught early in schools and kids can get something out Archie comics. On my recent trips to Europe, I've seen Gladstone Disney albums in German bookstores when it was hard to find them even in American comic shops, and I wondered if Gladstone was selling a large chunk of its print-run out-of-country. (Though that may have come to an abrupt end a year or two back when the Disney licensee in Germany complained about the imports. How a few scattered English-language import books cut into a huge German-language market, I'm not sure, unless it was the principle of the thing -- the German licensee had exclusive rights to the territory and it darned well wasn't going to let even a few imports infringe on its rights.) Another example is Elfquest, about the first of the self-published independents in the US. Starting from a black and white indy, it went through various forms and expansions, at one point just a few years ago a whole line of color comics, and now it's back to a black and white independent that's hard to find. But it's all over Europe in local-language editions. My guess is that the black and white US comic mainly exists to generate material for the foreign market, where most of the money is coming from these days. And to stay visible and viable in this country for any media deals that might come along. Another reason why Archie has to publish in this country in this country is exactly that. Every once in a while, something comes along like a Sabrina TV deal or a Josie and the Pussycats SatAM show. Who knows -- maybe somebody will option Cosmo the Merry Martian sooner or later for a 'toon show. The superheroes are one more thing in the closet that ArchieCo can pull out now and then to offer for some possible deal or other. > I sincerely > doubt that you will see Archie back in the super hero business anytime soon. > But five or ten years down the line, who knows? I really think the time to get back into the superhero business was a long time ago, whenever it became obvious the market was moving away from traditional distribution outlets and towards the comic shops. Archie should have developed something that would get them into the comic shops on a par with Marvel and DC. Now, if Archies get into the comic shops at all, it's because the owner read some list of "Top 25 Ways to Increase Walk-In Trade at Your Comic Shop," and somewhere down towards the bottom, past "Try to open up on time," "Encourage your staff to bathe," or "Don't frighten girls away with big posters of scantily-clad women with 70-inch breasts," there might be something like, "Carry some Archies and Disneys in case your regular patrons drag their girlfriends or younger siblings into the store." But "five or ten years down the line"...you're being awfully optimistic that there will still BE a comic-book business! > > > I have several writing/publishing projects that I have been dabbling with for > the past ten years.

Those bandits in retail > and distribution will have to struggle along without my patronage. Well, good luck, but...my sour, cynical take on that is that without retail and wholesale distribution, a publisher can never reach enough fans directly to sell enough goods to make a go of it. CBG ads just won't do the trick because too many people have gotten out of the habit of actually ordering something -- they want to be able to waltz down to the local comics shop and buy it on the spot without having to send money and then wait for it. Or they won't buy something they haven't actually seen. > How about you, Doc....what are you doing these days? > Not a whole lot worth telling, I'm afraid. And since my high-school reunion is coming up this summer, I'd better have some kind of more interesting answer to that very question worked up fairly soon. Comics-wise, I fell into a nice sideline in the late '80s of translating foreign-produced Disney comics into English for Gladstone, and later shifted over to doing the same thing for Egmont, the Danish Disney licensee that produces Disney material for about two dozen other publishers around the world. That kept me jolly for a number of years and justified annual trips to Europe, but in the last couple of years that work has declined to very little and very sporadic -- Europe's gone through much the same comics meltdown as the US and sales are way down there, too.. Meanwhile, I've taken up collecting Golden Age MLJs (which accounts for my being on this ML). I fell in love with the Mighty Comics heroes during the '60s, wishing with all my teenage heart that those wonderful characters would be done RIGHT!!!! instead of (gack!) CAMPY, and when they died unmourned at Mighty Comics Presents #50...well, I mourned! It left me with a desire to see the characters as they were originally, without the camp excesses. Well, I've wanted those comics for thirty years and now I can have them! It helps to be willing to settle for the lesser grades, where prices aren't quite so out of whack as they are in the rarefied regions of Pristine Mint. (And decent condition copies of Golden Age comics are getting harder to find all the time. That's why condition is the main driver of price these days.) It also helps to have a local dealer who has my want-list...just today he informed me that he had a line on Top-Notch #1 at an affordable price. It still wasn't exactly cheap, but I swallowed hard, knowing I'd never see it at a price like that again, and told him to go ahead and get it for me. The same guy recently turned up a copy of Blue Ribbon #9 for me, too (origin of Mr. Justice). This isn't one of your more inexpensive hobbies, but it seems to be satisfying some emotional needs. I dunno if I'll ever manage to collect all the 219 or so MLJ comics with costume heroes -- I have a feeling that Pep #22 with the first appearance of Archie is going to be the Impossible Dream here -- but it'll be fun trying to get as close as I can. --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From "Bradley S.

That doesn't really matter, but I was gonna try to email Ron F. Anyone want to help me out with this?

Pretty much, I just want to get them to someone who will read them. Sorry to put this out on the mailing list, but I have two copies of each and I'd rather let someone who is a true fan get them. I have come to the conclusion (although it has not been specifically said) that most the people on here were not too fond of the Impact versions of the Crusaders. I, personally thought they were better. I think that probably because they actually had some depth to them, unlike the 60's versions which were very shallow and quite often pointless. The 80's version was good (once again, seems like it was to me more than others) until it switched to the Archie Adventure Series. I much preferred the kinda dark, moody Red Circle versions. I think the difference between the Red circle and Archie Adventure Series is comparable to the difference between the first two and last two Batman movies. In the Red Circle series, it just seemed more believable...less campy. I liked the Impact versions also because I could come in on the ground floor and not have to worry about 50 or 60 years of history that was contradictory anyway.

Oh well...I am done rambling for the night. Actually I absolutely love all versions of the team that I've read. I too really enjoyed the depth given to the characters in the Red Circle line and hope that if the series ever gets off the ground, it will continue from that. As to the Impact issues. I loved them...but didn't agree with the member decisions. The Impact line as a whole I thought was quite good. Just didn't pick up the readers at the height of Grim n' Gritty. Thing is I can see them fitting into the current direction comics have taken, so I guess they were just before their time. :) Paul Newell ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From "Bradley S.

I've never really read the !mpact versions, although I have a few of them. The art and format didn't really appeal to me, although perhaps I will change my opinion of them when I actually sit down & read them someday. I'd been a big fan of the Red Circle/Archie Adventure (1983-84) versions because they used some classic creators (Ditko and Ayers, most notably) and the formats reminded me of older comics. Often the comics would contain two stories per issue, plus a gag page, which reminded me of how comics used to be made. Whereas the !mpact comics lacked this old-timey aspect for me. >The 80's version was good (once again, seems like it was to me more than >others) until it switched to the Archie Adventure Series. I much >preferred the kinda dark, moody Red Circle versions. I think the >difference between the Red circle and Archie Adventure Series is >comparable to the difference between the first two and last two Batman >movies. In the Red Circle series, it just seemed more believable...less >campy. Well, the Archie Adventure line (which began in 1984) was actually just the re-directed Red Circle line (from 1983), only now it had newstand distribution and contained ads, instead of being direct sale and no ads. Ditko's Fly #5-8 (Archie Adventure) I think are superior to most of the previous Red Circle issues of Fly. For the Archie Adventure issues of Fly, they dropped the "sillier" aspects like Fly-Girl and Spider Spry (or whatever his name was), whereas they'd been present in the Red Circle version. But then they wrapped up Ditko's story in Fly #9 in a way that seemed a bit too convenient and comic booky to me. I think Archie Adventure became campy near the end of the Mighty Crusaders run, after Rich Buckler left. I missed an issue after the "Trial of the Shield" and never did figure out why Black Hood was going around in a blue and yellow costume and chewing a cigar after that. Those final issues were drawn by Dick Ayers (who also did Mantech around that time for Archie Adventure), but I think it was the last gasp of the line, with all their other superhero titles having bit the dust. Going by memory, here's how I recall the evolution: End of 1983: Editor Bill Dubay leaves (so that Rich Buckler and Robin Snyder are the two editors of the hero comics); Dubay's Comet and Black Hood abruptly cancelled; Red Circle name replaced by Archie Adventure; the comics get newstand distribution. Summer 1984: Robin Snyder leaves after Fly #8, Rich Buckler takes over editing his books. (Thus, the "Under the Gun" letter-pages become "Crusader Comments.") Late 1984/Early 1985: Rich Buckler leaves; Dick Ayers does the art for Mighty Crusaders and Mantech, the two remaining Archie Adventure titles.

I certainly wouldn't mind if some of them jumped in, just to make it interesting. I notice that Chester Cox is being very quiet...LOL. I am fascinated that you have taken to collecting golden age MLJ comics. Years ago, an old friend of mine in Oklahoma City collected MLJ's. They had been a favorite of his since childhood. Naturally, I had the gone fortune of reading many of his issues. Lots of interesting stuff there...good artists like Paul Reinman, Irving Novick, and even a couple by Jack Cole. I think my favorites were the Hangman stories. Roy and Dusty...the Boy Buddies were cute. Archie sure did some peculiar things with the old MLJ heroes during the 60's. I am sure someone has mentioned it on this list, but most of the Fly Man and Mighty Crusader stories in the 60's were scripted by Jerry Siegel...who created Superman (with Joe Shuster) almost 30 years earlier. Siegel's scripts were campy nonsense, but they were a lot of fun. When I was publishing, I came very close to working with Siegel. Jerry had sent a half dozen or so scripts for my consideration, all original creations of his. One was a strip called "Ooky and Zookie". It was a very whimsical script, with bits of fantasy and science fiction tossed in for good measure. Almost a hybrid of Doctor Strange and Dennis the Menace. It was good fun. I had hoped to team Siegel with Steve Ditko on the feature, with Stan Goldberg doing the inks. Ditko really liked the script, and submitted some preliminary sketches of the characters. Ditko was raring to go. However, after Siegel and I had come to a verbal agreement...Siegel decided it was necessary for me to enter into contractual terms with his attorney...and he expected me to pay his attorney fees. For me, that was out the question. After the way that Siegel was screwed to the wall by DC over Superman in the 40's, I could understand his wanting to be cautious. In the end, I had to tell Siegel it was no deal. Ditko was dissapointed.

These would include first issues and origin issues of major characters. Unfortunately, these are also what the dealers charge the big bucks for. MLJ published four monthly variety comics (Blue Ribbon, Top Notch, Pep, and Zip). In addition were several quarterly titles that may have been designed as a fifth monthly title that rotated from month to month (Jackpot, Shield-Wizard, Special/Hangman/Black Hood). If that was the original scheme, it didn't last long. The monthly titles skipped months here and there over time and Blue Ribbon only lasted 22 issues (and seems to have a rocky life even while it was published). Most of these issues appeared in the 1939-1942 time frame; MLJ's heroic era peaked early, then choked when Archie hit big. 1. BLUE RIBBON #1. The first MLJ ever, published in 1939. No costume heroes, the comic isn't even in full color; the only significant character was Rang-a-Tang the Wonder Dog. But it is the company's first title, and because of it you could watch a TV show about a cute girl witch nearly 60 years later. 2. BLUE RIBBON #9. The origin of Mr. Justice, MLJ's answer to the Spectre. 3. TOP NOTCH #1. The Wizard debuts, though he wouldn't be a super-hero in the classic sense until he was revamped in #7. Here he's more of a magician with mighty mental powers and an international adventurer. 4. TOP-NOTCH #9. The origin of the Black Hood. 5. PEP #1. The debut of the Shield and the Comet. 6. PEP #17. Death of the Comet and the origin of the Hangman. 7. PEP #22. Debut of Archie. This issue is a major pain if you're mainly interested in costume heroes -- because of Archie, it'll cost some vast amount of money when all you want is the Shield and Hangman stories. 8. ZIP #1. Origin of Steel Sterling. 9. SHIELD-WIZARD #1. The stars of Top Notch and Pep get their own quarterly book. 10. JACKPOT #1. A quarterly showcase for the stars of the four anthologies: Mr. Justice from Blue Ribbon, the Black Hood from Top Notch, Steel Sterling from Zip, and...well, the Shield already had a book in Shield-Wizard, so Pep contributed Sgt. Boyle, a second-string military strip. Later, Archie was added to Jackpot. 11. SPECIAL #1. Hangman #1 in all but name, became Hangman Comics with #2. 12. BLACK HOOD #9. First isse of the Black Hood comic, takes over Hangman numbering. I kept the list to a dozen, but I was sorely tempted to list at least a couple of others. Blue Ribbon #16 features the origin of Captain Flag with a knock-out cover and may be MLJ's best single issue ever. Zip #27 and #28 are a toss-up: #27 is the Web's first appearance and #28 is the origin. However, neither the Web nor Captain Flag lasted very long or made much of an impression in the original run. So that's my impression of the key issues in MLJ-land. Do I have all of them? Noooo.... --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From LKFine@aol.com Fri Mar 5 22:48:30 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 18866 invoked by uid 7770); 6 Mar 1999 06:48:14 -0000 Received: from imo15.mx.aol.com (198.81.17.5) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 6 Mar 1999 06:48:14 -0000 Received: from LKFine@aol.com by imo15.mx.aol.com (IMOv19.3) id aAFCa02664 for ; Sat, 6 Mar 1999 01:47:33 -0500 (EST) From: LKFine@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Sat, 6 Mar 1999 01:47:33 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 13 Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Minor Keys Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Great post! No arguments about your choice of keys. Of course it's sort of cruel to tell people how great the issues they can't afford are. To offer a ray of hope to the budget collector I thought I'd offer a list of 12 minor keys. So in no particular order... -Blue Ribbon #2: introducuction of Bob Phantom, first MLJ costumed hero (the Wizard debuted at the same time but he didn't even have a domino mask in his first appearance) -Top Notch #8: first Roy, the Super Boy and Firefly. Roy may have been the second kid sidekick (after Robin) and Firefly was one of MLJ's best second stringers. -Pep #3: the Comet kills! Actually, the Comet started killing way back in #1, but this was the first and last time he'd kill innocent people. Sure he was hypnotized at the time, but how many heroes have dozens of dead cops on their resume. -Top Notch #5: first hero teamup in an MLJ comic. The Wizard kicks off his greatest adventure by meeting the Shield. His battle with the Mosconians would last until Top-Notch #7 (ending with the intro of his new super costume and powers) and spill over into Pep #4 and 5. -Top-Notch #19: death of the Skull. The villain who was responsible for the creation of the Black Hood was finally executed for his crimes, and more importantly, he stayed dead. -Blue Ribbon #22: death of the Hand and the origin of Mr. Justice retold. Captain Flag, like the Black Hood, finally brought his arch-enemy to justice. In other news Mr. Justice has his origin retold. -Black Hood #19: Black Hood's identity revealed! With his secret out Kip Burland hangs up his mask, opening the Black Hood Detective Agency. -Pep #29: the Shield loses his powers! Yes it's true, as of this issue the Shield would be super no longer. -Zip #20: origin and 1st appearance of Black Jack. One of MLJ's better second tier characters, Jack Jones enters the fold. Although he was soon pushed aside by... -Zip #27: first appearance of the Web. As mentioned before, his origin didn't show up until #28, but this issue wins out because it was first and John Cassone is a much better artist than Irv (suddenly I'm Jack Kirby) Novick. Finally Zip is worth reading again (for a dozen issues anyway). -Blue Ribbon #16: origin of Captain Flag. Okay, he only lasted seven issues, but he's my favorite MLJ hero (what can I say, I'm a sucker for obscure patriotic heroes) and his stories were a cut above the rest. Especially when Lin Streeter was handling the strip. -Blue Ribbon #13: Inferno gets his own strip and a costume, plus Hitler turns out to be Satan (who knew?). After kicking around Steel Sterling's strip (as a hero and a villain) Inferno hits the big time. He busts out of jail, saves the warden, and picks up some snazzy threads. Meanwhile, Mr. Justice decides to take care of Hitler by beating the crap out of him. Only after he takes a tremendous beating does MJ realize that he's not dealing with just some nutty dictator, but Satan himself. -Top-Notch #27: Firefly begins the multi-issue epic adventure in the time of Isis that finally made him a major player in the MLJ pantheon. At least it would have if the comic hadn't become Top-Notch Laugh and dropped all the heroes but Black Hood. Well, there you go. I suppose I shouldn't have posted this list when I still need two of the issues, but what the hey. Until next time. -Paris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From Deklane@aol.com Sat Mar 6 08:07:04 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 455 invoked by uid 7770); 6 Mar 1999 16:06:45 -0000 Received: from imo17.mx.aol.com (198.81.17.7) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 6 Mar 1999 16:06:45 -0000 Received: from Deklane@aol.com by imo17.mx.aol.com (IMOv18.1) id LVXIa26294 for ; Sat, 6 Mar 1999 11:05:30 -0500 (EST) From: Deklane@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Sat, 6 Mar 1999 11:05:30 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 13 Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Minor Keys Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit That was a jim-dandy post, too!

I suppose I shouldn't have posted this list when I still need two of the issues, but what the hey. -Paris >> Right after I posted my list, I got the Spring '99 catalog from Showcase New England, a major dealer in Golden Age comics. The last few catalogs have been kind of sparse MLJ-wise -- I'd pretty much bought everything I didn't already have from them and they hadn't replenished their stock. Then came THIS catalog. All of a sudden, there are a LOT of MLJs in decent condition listed, and in fairly consecutive runs. Obviously, they bought somebody's collection. To make matters more interesting, the new selection is almost perversely accurate in targeting issues of comics I don't have and have been particularly looking for in the last year or two. Isn't that a good thing, you ask? Well...NOT ALL AT ONCE! This way lies bankruptcy! I mean, this is the year I want to buy a house, but if I let my MLJ enthusiasm run away with me, I could be eating beans in my shabby garret for the next year! (But at least I'd have something to read!) So, in the interest of generously and unselflishly extending a helping hand to my fellow MLJ fans and collectors (and in the hope you'll buy some comics from them so they'll be sold out by the time my resolve to be fiscally responsible cracks), I herewith post the dealer's address: Showcase New England 67 Gail Drive Northfield, CT 06472 (203) 484-4579 I have no connection with them except in buying comics from them in recent years.

It was good fun. I had hoped to team Siegel with Steve Ditko on the feature, with Stan Goldberg doing the inks. Ditko really liked the script, and submitted some preliminary sketches of the characters. Ditko was raring to go. However, after Siegel and I had come to a verbal agreement...Siegel decided it was necessary for me to enter into contractual terms with his attorney...and he expected me to pay his attorney fees. For me, that was out the question. After the way that Siegel was screwed to the wall by DC over Superman in the 40's, I could understand his wanting to be cautious. In the end, I had to tell Siegel it was no deal. Ditko was dissapointed. ============== Ron, this is really interesting to me. The co-creator of Superman working with the co-creator of Spiderman...the results were bound to be fascinating. Do you still have copies of the Ditko art? I'd love to see a scan of that! It's a shame that deal fell through. I think Siegel is often overlooked. He was obviously a great concept man...Superman, Spectre, Dr. Occult..all very neat. I also enjoyed his "The Starling" strip that he did for Eclipse. I would also be interested in hearing your thoughts about C.C Beck and, if possible, can you elaborate on his feelings towards Schwartz and Infantino, a subject you briefly touched on over at Kirby-L. BTW Was your company the one that was going to publish Beck's "On Top of Ol'Lympos"? I had some original art from that series...looked like fun. Regards, Kris Brownlow The Fly Lives!

Yes, it would have been interesting to team the CO-creators of Spider-Man and Superman together. I think the end result would have been something very special. And I do still have the drawings that Ditko did for "Ooky and Zookie". Also, have three scripts by Siegel. Chet Cox and I have been discussing the possibility of my writing a book about my various comic book and fandom experiences....dating back almost thirty years...and of course, it would include those drawings by Ditko. One of my greatest disappointments was never publishing On Top of O'Lmypos by C.C. Beck. I had gone as far as having the story typeset just before I was eaten alive by the distributors and went out of business. You might find this interesting: There is a very good chance the book may finally be published....by me. I am working now trying to work out some of the details, but I am looking to return to the publishing business sometime later in the year, in one form or another. I also have a second novel by Beck...."The World's Mightiest Fathead". It is kind of an autobiographical comedy...about the misadventures of Beck in the 1940's while working for Fawcett and drawing Captain Marvel. I would love to finally get it into publication along with O'Lympos. Beck was an absolutely wonderful old gentlemen. Like Howard Cosell used to say...Beck told it like it is. He wasn't afraid to mince words. I always found his candor refreshing. When DC talked to Beck about drawing Captain Marvel again in the early 1970's...he was basically sold a flawed bill of goods. Carmine Infantino had more or less promised Beck a free hand, a suitable editor, and quality scripts. He got none of it. Julius Schwartz had his own cockeyed ideas of what Captain Marvel was supposed to be...and tried to treat Beck as if he were some novice. Needless to say, it didn't work. After a few issues, Beck was thoroughly disgusted with Schwartz, Infantino, and the terrible scripts they keep giving him. At DC...an artist was supposed to draw as it was written, and given very little room for improvisation...or none at all. In the end, Beck couldn't stand the situation a minute longer...and basically told Infantino and Schwartz to go to hell. More or less, that is the way Beck told it to me.

Beck sent a lot of copies of "The World's Mightiest Fathead" (and a LOT of other stuff) around to folks that he corresponded with over the years--I have a copy sitting on the shelf a few feet from me, although I'd say that it falls a bit short of being a novel. Is that stuff still the intellectual property of his estate, or what? Anyway, it WOULD be nice to see that get into print and maybe achieve a little wider distribution. I know (FCA publisher/editor) P.C. Hamerlinck is working on at least one Beck-related project--maybe you could get in touch with him and join forces. What would REALLY be interesting (and what no one seems to have) would be any scripts, outlines or sketches that may have been generated for the Lightning Comics CAPTAIN SHAZAM series that Beck and Binder were supposedly going to do as a follow-up to FATMAN, THE HUMAN FLYING SAUCER. -- Regards, Mark Luebker On AIM: mluebker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From Mark Luebker & Kathleen Fairfax Sun Mar 7 17:24:11 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 11219 invoked by uid 7770); 8 Mar 1999 01:23:57 -0000 Received: from phoenix.nlci.com (206.64.96.2) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 8 Mar 1999 01:23:57 -0000 Received: from pop.nlci.com (dialup-23.nlci.com [206.64.96.123]) by phoenix.nlci.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA13751; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 20:23:34 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <36E32721.1F7D317F@pop.nlci.com> Date: Sun, 07 Mar 1999 20:25:53 -0500 From: Mark Luebker & Kathleen Fairfax Organization: Studio 1050 X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (Win95; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: RMorris306@aol.com, "SHAZAM!

Since I can't match - much less top - that feat, I'll just sit quietly in my corner over here. Have been trying to remember the name of the fellow you refer to (Okie who collected MLJ), and Bob Sampson's name keeps interfering with my remembering. I know it wasn't him, but I'm guessing that means his name was Bob something. And I'm betting it was him because of our agreement, during a 1976 OAF meeting and auction, that Irv Novick beat Neal Adams hands-down as we were all discussing favorite artists.

I learned to value the MLJ heroes in August 1977, when Rich Fifield haggled a copy of Hangman #3 or 5 from Bob Sidebottom in Monterey, CA. I had earlier expressed to Rich that the Siegel-scripted Mighty Comics were a good alternative to the costly (Ha! We thought $20 for Spirit #1 was costly in 1977!!) Golden Age MLJs. My argument ran that the GA books were neither written nor drawn any better than the 1960s run. Was I mistaken! Mind you, my opinion had been colored by the fact that I'd read a number of second-rate GA books: stuff from the Nedor group, I believe. Sure, a dozen or so Cole Plastic Man stories, a bunch of Spirits, and DC's & Marvel's reprints up 'til then. But I was pretty sure that the exceptional, cream of the crop stuff, had obviously been published by the majors: Quality, DC, Timely. I was rash, I was young ... what can I say. Rich's copy of Hangman blew me away, and I think I described it (or he did) as "early Batman, but more so." Dark and brooding, if other Hangman issues were this creepy, they should have been given away at youth reformatories of the 1940s. It would have terrified kids away from crime -- or at least, the sort of crime where some nut in tights would come after you! Thanks to that one issue, I picked up the Alan Light Flashback reprints that were still available (cheap). Sadly, there were only three MLJ titles available: Two Peps (#1, introducing the Shield, and the Hangman intro) and Special #1. Were most MLJ hero stories this good? I doubt it, but I was wrong before. If they maintained an average level of quality of almost-this-good, then they do deserve reprinting. And the only way that will begin to happen is - with a good chronology/checklist with the sort of data the two previous posts contained. Such a checklist, well distributed, will generate interest -- and perhaps, create a movement back at Archie Comics, where they aint fools.

Uhm...without wanting to detract from Paris's effort (his list of "minor keys" was more subtle than my list of majors, and required more detailed knowledge of what's in the less obvious issues), I don't think this information has exactly been unknown to Overstreet and the big dealers and collectors. The first issues are obvious enough, and Overstreet & Co. are well aware of what's in Pep #17, Pep #22, Blue Ribbon #9. and Top Notch #9. The Golden Age was pretty thoroughly researched in the '60s when it was still possible for a private individual to assemble a large collection without terminal bank account damage and many fans were old enough to remember reading the comics when they were published. A lot of checklists and fanzine articles were published back in the '60s that covered just about every comic-book company, and that information has been absorbed into Overstreet and checklists like the late Howard Keltner's. Over time, however, collecting Golden Age comics has become difficult or even impossible for later and younger fans as the books have gotten older, rarer, and more expensive, and there may not even be the interest for creaky old comics published nearly 60 years ago that probably look as strange and antique to kids now as 1890s dime novels did to us. The information about the old comics exists, but the danger might be that it will get lost as people who actually care about it die off. As it happens, collecting MLJs is still feasible for a private collector. It isn't cheap, but it's doable if you're nuts enough to spend the money on wads of crumbling pulp paper, and the number of issues to be had, about 219, is finite and relatively small compared to say, DC, Timely, or Fawcett. > I learned to value the MLJ heroes in August 1977, when Rich Fifield > haggled a copy of Hangman #3 or 5 from Bob Sidebottom in Monterey, CA.

Goodness knows, they could > probably use such a checklist themselves! The Hangman was probably MLJ at its peak. The feverishly deranged art of Bob Fujitani really added to the atmosphere of Batman only screwed two turns tighter. Many other MLJ hero stories were indeed very good, but some were mediocre or just plain bad. Still, it occurs to me that simply recycling '40s scripts with a light modernizing rewrite and having them redrawn would have been better for the Mighty Comics revival in the '60s than most of what they did publish. Writers in the '40s could tell a complete mystery story with a clever gimmick for a premise, a grabber of a beginning, a solidly developing middle, and a surprise-twist ending in eight pages, after all. Since ArchieCo has bound volumes of everything they've ever published, I'm sure they're well aware of what they have, though maybe some well-timed fan buzz could serve to remind them? --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From LKFine@aol.com Mon Mar 8 10:57:21 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 24300 invoked by uid 7770); 8 Mar 1999 18:49:35 -0000 Received: from imo28.mx.aol.com (198.81.17.72) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 8 Mar 1999 18:49:35 -0000 Received: from LKFine@aol.com by imo28.mx.aol.com (IMOv19.3) id aVMZa20669 for ; Mon, 8 Mar 1999 13:48:37 -0500 (EST) From: LKFine@aol.com Message-ID: <37097c85.36e41b85@aol.com> Date: Mon, 8 Mar 1999 13:48:37 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 13 Subject: [mightycomics] Re: They're ALL Key Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 3/8/99 6:53:41 AM Pacific Standard Time, chet-el@juno.com writes: << Were most MLJ hero stories this good?

That said, there is plenty of excellent stuff to be found in the other strips. Black Hood was great. Pretty much any story from Top-Notch is worth reading (Top-Notch Laugh was more hit and miss). Early Steel Sterling stories by Biro are a lot of fun, as are Sgt. Boyle. Firefly had great (albeit wacky) adventures. The Jack Cole Comet stories are wild. The early Wizard stories are pretty good, but the later stuff is almost unreadable. The Black Jack stories by Camy are good. This could go on for a while, and I'm sure you've gotten the idea that those Hangman stories were in good company. I should warn you guys that the later MLJ stuff is extremely hit or miss (mainly miss). The same guy seemed to be drawing every strip. Stories were recycled in different strips. Red Rube was created. The end wasn't pretty. -Paris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From Dwight Decker Tue Mar 9 09:53:09 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 17684 invoked by uid 7770); 9 Mar 1999 17:53:06 -0000 Received: from bootstrap.agcs.com (130.131.48.11) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 9 Mar 1999 17:53:06 -0000 Received: from pxmail1.agcs.com (pxmail1.agcs.com [130.131.168.5]) by bootstrap.agcs.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id KAA28511 for ; Tue, 9 Mar 1999 10:50:54 -0700 (MST) Posted-Date: Tue, 9 Mar 1999 10:50:54 -0700 (MST) Received: from agcs.com ([130.131.59.219]) by pxmail1.agcs.com (Netscape Messaging Server 3.61) with ESMTP id AAA3786 for ; Tue, 9 Mar 1999 10:52:45 -0700 Sender: "Dwight Decker" Message-ID: <36E55FEC.A3FA1C5@agcs.com> Date: Tue, 09 Mar 1999 10:52:44 -0700 From: Dwight Decker Organization: AG Communication Systems X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.06 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.5.1 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: mightycomics@egroups.com References: <19990308.074730.-364945.1.Chet-EL@juno.com> Subject: [mightycomics] MLJ Collecting Thoughts Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I mentioned in an earlier post that I just got a budget-cracking catalog of Golden Age comics from a dealer called Showcase New England. The perverse thing about the catalog was how accurately the MLJs on offer targeted the holes in my collection. Apparently, Showcase New England had just bought somebody's collection, so there were some fairly consecutive runs in some titles. In the end, I couldn't resist, and I called SNE with my credit card in hand. Fortunately for my bank account, a couple of the more expensive issues I wanted (Zip #28 with the origin of the Web and Blue Ribbon #19 with the only Captain Flag story I don't have) had already been sold, so I had to content myself with three less prime issues (Black Hood #15, the first Golden Age comic I ever bought, back when I was 15; Blue Ribbon #8, nothing special since it's before Mr. Justice starts but it fills another hole; and Zip #36, a Web issue though Blackjack has dropped out). Which isn't to say I couldn't have spent a lot more -- my early runs of Top Notch and Zip in particular look pretty sparse. But one must draw the line somewhere... But it got me thinking... Does anybody have a complete MLJ collection? In the first place, it's a feasible proposition, even today. The collection is finite: only about 219 issues of comics with heroes in them. Prices are high but not completely out of whack since this was a second-string company whose hero phase was relatively brief and the heroes were never successfully revived in the modern era. So there isn't the demand for the old books that there is for, say, Timelies. MLJ/Mighty fans are a proud few, I'm afraid. And the books exist and are being sold. In the several years I've been at this, going to conventions and poring over dealers' catalogs, I think I've seen virtually every issue in the MLJ line offered for sale at one time or another. The only reason I don't have a complete collection myself by now is simple lack of money. Someone with unlimited funds to spend on the project could probably amass a complete collection in a matter of months, though it might take some looking to track down some issues (no one dealer has everything). The key issues, oddly enough, would probably be easiest to find; because they're desirable, they're constantly bought and sold. The amusing thought is of the MLJ-mad millionaire who had no trouble finding Pep #1 or #17 or #22, or Zip #1 or even Blue Ribbon #1, but is tearing his hair out trying to find that one last later issue of Top-Notch Laugh he needs because the dealers aren't bothering with the dogs. As I said, it's doable. But has anybody done it? (I think we can assume Archie Comics has a bound set of everything it has ever published, so at least one complete MLJ collection exists right there.) But of the old-time collectors, even back when Golden Age comics were a lot cheaper and more readily available than they are now...Mike Nolan's 1969 MLJ checklist, I know, was compiled as a composite of a number of collections; he apparently was unable to go to just one collector who had everything. Howard Keltner, who wrote the pioneering article on MLJ for Alter Ego and later put together a massive checklist of Golden Age comics, apparently didn't have a complete MLJ collection, either. I recently compared notes with another old-time collector (I won't mention his name but he wrote articles on MLJ for the RBCC twenty years ago), who's old enough to still have comics he bought as a kid in 1942, and he may have a third of the MLJ run. I suspect that for the old-time collectors, MLJ was an interesting line, worth getting various issues of for a representative sampling, but nobody was fanatic about it. Not when a private collector could still be collecting All-Star, Captain Marvel, Captain America, Action, and all the rest. So maybe nobody bothered to go for completeness when it came to MLJ (though enough people had partial collections that the collecting community at large had a fairly good general idea of what was in the MLJ line). For that matter, if that sudden wave of MLJ issues that just turned up in Showcase New England's catalog came from a single collection, it was a nice collection (and I'd guess it came from an old-time collector who built up the bulk of it in the '60s because the condition of most issues was a little too good to be readily obtainable now), but certainly nowhere near complete. I'd hesitate to say that _nobody_ ever had a complete collection of MLJs. But I have found in talking to the old-timers that the people you would have expected to didn't bother because they were collecting DCs and Timelies, and MLJ was just a company of secondary interest at best. Maybe Steve Geppi has a complete MLJ set because he's rich enough to have _everything_ (and he got into the news a while back for paying some exorbitant price for the Mile High copies of Archie #1 and Pep #22). And maybe there are some wealthy but discreet collectors out there who have quietly amassed MLJ collections along with everything else (like I said -- the comics exist, and it's basically a matter of being able to afford them). Somebody was certainly able to snap up the more expensive comics that Showcase New England had as soon as the catalog hit the mailbox. But what probably drives an MLJ collection would be a fanatic devotion to the line that few share...so the number of complete MLJ collections that exist would be very small, simply because even the few people who could afford it wouldn't bother. Oh, and one more thing. Overstreet lists both Top Notch #9 and Blue Ribbon #9 (origins of Black Hood and Mr. Justice respectively) as "scarce," which is to say an estimated 20 to 100 copies of each even exist. So the number of complete MLJ collections that _could_ exist is limited. So, Paris, as another MLJ collector...do you have any thoughts on all this? Do you know of anybody with a complete MLJ collection? (Don't look at me -- I'm not even close, and unless I hit the lottery, there will be about five to ten issues I don't think I'll ever manage to swing.) --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From Magilla445@aol.com Tue Mar 9 10:55:35 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 21747 invoked by uid 7770); 9 Mar 1999 18:55:12 -0000 Received: from imo27.mx.aol.com (198.81.17.71) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 9 Mar 1999 18:55:12 -0000 Received: from Magilla445@aol.com by imo27.mx.aol.com (IMOv19.3) id aOSKa19103 for ; Tue, 9 Mar 1999 13:53:36 -0500 (EST) From: Magilla445@aol.com Message-ID: <4161665.36e56e30@aol.com> Date: Tue, 9 Mar 1999 13:53:36 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 205 Subject: [mightycomics] it's a good time to collect nostalgia Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit After being away from organized collecting for a few years, I am absolutely amazed to see what is out on the market again. What is happening in many collecting fields...golden age comics, pulps, 78 records, 16mm films, radio transcript discs, etc...is that collectibles which have been buried in private collections for years untold, are turning up again because the old collectors are dying off. Sounds a little crass, I know, but that is basically the way it is. When Uncle Joe bought (and often traded for) collectibles 30-40 years ago (for pennies on the dollar what they are worth now) those items were out of circulation. Nine times out of ten, Uncle Joe's heirs couldn't care less about his treasures. The next minute after Uncle Joe is resting six foot under, his next of kin are licking their lips thinking about the cold hard cash value of his collection. They run, do not walk, to the nearest dealer looking to cash in. Sordid state of affairs, but that is life, I guess. Interesting now, that golden age comics are becoming readily available in some instances, that the market is soft. Golden age comics have apparently become another esoteric collecting field...like most of the others I mentioned earlier. In the past year I have gotten interested again in 16mm films...mostly old TV shows from the 50's and 60's. I have been picking up a few shows on ebay. The marvelous thing is that in some instances I am paying less for the shows than what they cost twenty years ago...and with inflation, you could buy a lot more for a dollar then. It would seem that the same thing is happening with Golden age comics. It is a wonderful situation. I am glad that collectors like Doc are able to benefit from it. I am looking forward to the day when his MLJ collection is complete.

Probably every one of the 219 or so comics is available if you just look hard enough (and have unlimited funds). But some issues are more plentiful or more often offered for sale than others. What follows are some impressionistic thoughts on the relative scarcity of what's out there. Maybe Paris or some other collector will have different thoughts... 1. MLJs are not exactly common, period. Dealers tell me they're hard to find (usually right before they try to convince me their high prices are justified because the comics are generally "undervalued"). These are comics published by a second-string company whose glory year was 1941. It's amazing that any survive. 2. Oddly, Blue Ribbon #2 seems more common than it should be. Published in late 1939 during MLJ's second month in existence, it has one costumed hero strip (Bob Phantom) amid a lot of other forgettable features, and Bob Phantom seems to have been written and drawn before anybody at MLJ got a handle on super-dupers. This should be a comic that's both rare and not particularly desirable except for fanatic completists...yet I seem to see it fairly often in dealers' lists and at conventions, more so than almost any other issue of Blue Ribbon. Later Blue Ribbons, particularly after Captain Flag debuts in #16, are tough finds. 3. Pep may have been MLJ's top-selling title. (After all, it did last well over 400 issues and into recent times, and no other MLJ did.) Even among the early issues, I had no particular problem amassing a consecutive run from #3 to #19. Even issue #17 wasn't hard to find. However, I seldom see issues in the #20s. I suspect the MLJ collector is running into interference from the Archie collectors here. Archie was introduced in #22, and for the next several issues you get one issue after another with "firsts" (first Reggie or first Veronica or first Mr. Wetherbee or whatever). By contrast, issues in the #30s seem fairly plentiful, but dry up again in the #40s. (Is it because Archie takes over the cover in the #40s, or did wartime paper shortages take their toll on the print run?) Issues in the #50s start to be common again, though by this time the comic is looking pretty dreary without the Hangman and the Shield is way out of place with all the funny strips. (Exceptions are the issues with the leftover Black Hood strips, but by that time he wasn't even wearing his costume. Does anybody care about Captain Commando?) The Shield's last appearance was in Pep #65 at the end of 1947, and that was it for MLJ heroes. 4. While early Peps aren't hard to find, the issues of Zip coming out at the same time seem a lot scarcer. In the first 19 issues, the only strip of interest is Steel Sterling. After Blackjack debuts in #20, things start to pick up, but paying all that money for an early Zip when I find one and then getting just Steel Sterling is hard to justify to myself at times... Later Zips with the Web and then with just Steel Sterling and the Red Rube aren't difficult to find. 5. Jackpot #1 and #2 are fairly easy to find. The trouble starts at #4, and again, the problem is probably Archie. Archie started in Jackpot almost at the same time he debuted in Pep #22, and the first two or three Jackpot appearances also have important "firsts" the Archie collectors are hot after. 6. Early Top-Notch isn't as hard to find as early Zip. The problem might be later Top-Notch, after it becomes Top-Notch Laugh Comics and has the Black Hood as the lonely serious strip in the middle of all the funny stuff. These aren't particularly desirable issues, and it may be hard to find a dealer who bothers with them. 7. Hangman issues are expensive but not impossible to find. Same for Shield-Wizard. 8. You'll be able to find all the issues of Black Hood you could want. And then some. Any comments, additional thoughts, contrary impressions? --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From LKFine@aol.com Tue Mar 9 11:29:49 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 9472 invoked by uid 7770); 9 Mar 1999 19:29:46 -0000 Received: from imo12.mx.aol.com (198.81.17.2) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 9 Mar 1999 19:29:46 -0000 Received: from LKFine@aol.com by imo12.mx.aol.com (IMOv19.3) id aWZTa19425 for ; Tue, 9 Mar 1999 14:24:52 -0500 (EST) From: LKFine@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Tue, 9 Mar 1999 14:24:52 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 13 Subject: [mightycomics] Re: MLJ Collecting Thoughts Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 3/9/99 9:53:40 AM Pacific Standard Time, deckerd@agcs.com writes: << So, Paris, as another MLJ collector...do you have any thoughts on all this?

The only other MLJ collector I know personally just started collecting within the past year or so. He started out just looking for Archie, but got swept up in the rest of the super hero stuff. He's already got a better MLJ collection than I do. This includes some keys like Top-Notch #9, Special #1, and Blue Ribbon #9. Still I don't see him having a complete set anytime in the near future. Personally, since there is no way I'll ever be able to complete the run myself, I am content setting more reasonable goals. For example: At least one issue of every MLJ hero title (check) At least one story of every MLJ hero (check if you don't count Hercules) Every Web story (curses, still need five issues) Every Captain Flag story (curses still need three issues) All the issues in the Wizard/Mosconian battle (is Pep #5 part of this? if not, check) As I achieve these, I can set new ones. They're humble goals, but they're mine. <> I have an interesting story about Blue Ribbon #19 actually. I ordered a copy of #16 from a dealer. He accidently sent me #19 instead. Once I saw how beautiful the book was, I couldn't bear to send it back. The colors were amazing and it's probably my favorite MLJ cover (Lin Streeter is very underrated). So, long story short I ended up with #16 and 19 (and Zip #28, I'm starting to feel a little guilty). Okay, so maybe interesting was too strong a word. -Paris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From "Bradley S.

I noticed something was up three or four years ago at the summer comics conventions. Metropolis Comics had a display wall at Chicago with multiple copies of Golden Age number ones and other key issues. Four and five copies of Detective #27 or Batman #1 right next to each other, among others. "The Million Dollar Wall," I called it. Then, at San Diego, that same summer, in just moseying aimlessly through the aisles, I saw six different copies of Captain America #1. "What's going on here?" I thought. So I asked around. The impression I got from the dealers isn't that Uncle Joe is dying and his heirs are selling off his collection -- it's more like Uncle Joe realizes what he's got and how much it's worth, and decides a condo in Florida is better than sitting on a pile of pulp paper in his closet that he hasn't looked at in years, so he cashes out. So a lot of stuff is turning up on the market that hasn't been seen in years. I bought a copy of Blue Ribbon #22 from somebody advertising in CBG, and he told me that he hated to part with it because he'd had it since about 1965. Some other MLJ I bought came with a statement of pedigree -- not the usual sort stating that the comic came from some famous original owner collection like Mile High, but from the collection of somebody who'd started collecting in the early '60s and bought it from an original owner. Somebody who did his major collecting in the '60s when the stuff was relatively common and cheap (though it didn't seem that way then) and never sold it could easily have a collection worth $50,000 or much more by now. There comes a time, I guess, when you realize that you can't afford to just sit on something that's worth that much. You have to cash out and spend the money on something you really want or need, like retirement. (This isn't Golden Age comics, but I heard of a fairly well-known science-fiction fan in Minneapolis who recently sold his collection of early Marvels that he'd bought new off the stands and kept in perfect shape ever since, and financed his sex-change operation. I heard about this from a Mpls dealer who was just mad because he hadn't been able to get a crack at that collection of cherry-perfect early Marvels.) > Interesting now, that golden age comics are becoming readily available in some > instances, that the market is soft.

I am looking forward to the day when his MLJ collection is complete. That'll be a few years yet, I'm afraid. I just wonder how my enthusiasm will hold up when I've got all the good stuff that I'm interested in and what's left are a bunch of old Zips or Top Notch Laugh issues. I don't know how "soft" the Golden Age market is, exactly. Condition seems to be the driving factor for sky-high prices. A difference of a grade can mean hundreds of dollars difference in the price of two copies of the same comic in the same dealer's listing. You will pay through the nose for something in VF/NM, but if you can live with G/VG, you can dicker. --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From Dwight Decker Tue Mar 9 15:03:43 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 1545 invoked by uid 7770); 9 Mar 1999 23:03:10 -0000 Received: from bootstrap.agcs.com (130.131.48.11) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 9 Mar 1999 23:03:10 -0000 Received: from pxmail1.agcs.com (pxmail1.agcs.com [130.131.168.5]) by bootstrap.agcs.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id QAA15150 for ; Tue, 9 Mar 1999 16:00:55 -0700 (MST) Posted-Date: Tue, 9 Mar 1999 16:00:55 -0700 (MST) Received: from agcs.com ([130.131.59.219]) by pxmail1.agcs.com (Netscape Messaging Server 3.61) with ESMTP id AAA639F for ; Tue, 9 Mar 1999 16:02:45 -0700 Sender: "Dwight Decker" Message-ID: <36E5A894.12CA5F6E@agcs.com> Date: Tue, 09 Mar 1999 16:02:45 -0700 From: Dwight Decker Organization: AG Communication Systems X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.06 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.5.1 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: mightycomics@egroups.com References: Subject: [mightycomics] Re: MLJ Relative Scarcity Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Bradley Cobb saith: > > One other question before I go.

Even though the Mighty heroes were theoretically in the same universe as the MLJ heroes (the Web and the Hangman were the same individuals, the Shield was the son of the original...), the Comet was the one instance of disrupted continuity. The fact he died (no sort of) and the fact that he and the Hagnman were brothers were just plain ignored in the '60s revival. Even though it was supposed to be the same Comet with a different costume, I'd categorize the '60s Comet as a Silver Age revamp comparable to what was done with the Flash and Green Lantern over at DC. Maybe you could postulate an Earth-MLJ and Earth-Mighty explanation to cover it. Myself, I'd guess that the people at Archie just figured that hardly anybody was left by 1965 or so who remembered reading Pep #17 in 1941 (or the one-page recap in Special #1) and would object to a non-dead Comet. Another interesting factoid: Not only were the Comet and the Hangman brothers, but the Hangman inherited the Comet's girlfriend, Thelma, when the Comet bought the farm. --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From Dwight Decker Tue Mar 9 15:47:40 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 24646 invoked by uid 7770); 9 Mar 1999 23:47:08 -0000 Received: from bootstrap.agcs.com (130.131.48.11) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 9 Mar 1999 23:47:08 -0000 Received: from pxmail1.agcs.com (pxmail1.agcs.com [130.131.168.5]) by bootstrap.agcs.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id QAA17701 for ; Tue, 9 Mar 1999 16:44:57 -0700 (MST) Posted-Date: Tue, 9 Mar 1999 16:44:57 -0700 (MST) Received: from agcs.com ([130.131.59.219]) by pxmail1.agcs.com (Netscape Messaging Server 3.61) with ESMTP id AAA73E0 for ; Tue, 9 Mar 1999 16:46:48 -0700 Sender: "Dwight Decker" Message-ID: <36E5B2E7.594EE3CF@agcs.com> Date: Tue, 09 Mar 1999 16:46:47 -0700 From: Dwight Decker Organization: AG Communication Systems X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.06 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.5.1 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: mightycomics@egroups.com References: Subject: [mightycomics] Re: MLJ Collecting Thoughts Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit LKFine@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 3/9/99 9:53:40 AM Pacific Standard Time, deckerd@agcs.com > writes: > > The only other MLJ collector I know > personally just started collecting within the past year or so.

They're humble goals, but they're > mine. I tried setting up interim goals myself, based partly on the recommendations in Mike Nolan's 1969 MLJ checklist ("The Poor Man's Guide to Collecting Expensive MLJ Comics), and added one of my own: At least one early Wizard story before he became a typical superhero (check -- I got Top Notch #6 and #1 is in the works) Over time, I set up other goals based on personal preference and what I was finding as I accumulated the comics. I originally had a note to myself to skip any Blue Ribbons before #9, but I discovered I liked them for their wide variety of strips as the early MLJ staff experimented. (That first episode of Hercules is a hoot because Zeus was swiped from an Alex Raymond drawing of Ming the Merciless...) So I ended up getting all of them except for the very first issue. Gads, Blue Ribbon was a great title, and just got better after Mr. Justice started in #9.. It's my personal favorite of the MLJ line in some ways. That four-issue stretch at #16-19 where you've got Mr. Justice, the Fox, Bob Phantom, and Captain Flag strips is pure funnybook glory! But I want all 22 issues! (Only four to go...) I can't remember if Pep #5 is part of the epic battle and Shield/Wizard crossover. However, something interesting about those early Peps is that the Novick covers illustrate the Shield stories...but on at least a couple of the issues, the cover and the story it illustrates aren't together in the same comic. The cover was run an issue before the story it was supposed to be paired with (or maybe the other way around -- I'd have to look at them again to verify just what happened). Out of synch, anyway. One more reason why we love the Golden Age, I guess. For the Hangman's book, that was simple. My notes say, "Go for the lot!" (Check, though some issues need upgrading.) With Zip, I decided to get all the Web issues, too. (Curses, four to go.) The real Zip prizes are #27-35, because you got Blackjack as well as the Web and Steel Sterling, though I gather that Blackjack had faded badly by then and the collector is best advised to go after Zip #20 with the origin and the following few issues where Blackjack was in his prime. > < issues I wanted (Zip #28 with the origin of the Web and Blue Ribbon #19 with > the only Captain Flag story I don't have) >> > > I have an interesting story about Blue Ribbon #19 actually.

Though there's that one where the Black Hand is trying to murder a pretty lady in a mountain cabin and Captain Flag is smashing in through the window behind him... Beautifully inked, but then you look at it and try to understand just how Captain Flag got through that small window and managed to straighten up in mid-flight, or the anatomy (the left forearm seems to have several inches of wrist too many). The overall effect is wonderful, though. I think it's Blue Ribbon #20 where the Captain Flag logo on the cover is bigger than the "Blue Ribbon," and you'd think it was an issue of "Captain Flag Comics." Maybe MLJ was sending up a trial balloon here, but it didn't fly.... --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From LKFine@aol.com Tue Mar 9 17:31:34 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 15321 invoked by uid 7770); 10 Mar 1999 01:31:27 -0000 Received: from imo22.mx.aol.com (198.81.17.66) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 10 Mar 1999 01:31:27 -0000 Received: from LKFine@aol.com by imo22.mx.aol.com (IMOv19.3) id aVHQa12642 for ; Tue, 9 Mar 1999 20:30:25 +1900 (EST) From: LKFine@aol.com Message-ID: <20f03d81.36e5cb31@aol.com> Date: Tue, 9 Mar 1999 20:30:25 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 13 Subject: [mightycomics] Re: MLJ Relative Scarcity Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Another interesting post! This group is definitely feast or famine. No real arguments with your assessment of scarcity (although I do think you might be underestimating the scarcity of Hangman). I must disagree with your dismissal of early Zips. I've only read #1, 4, 5, but I think they're great. The Steel Sterling stories by Biro are a blast to read. He doesn't have any obnoxious "funny" sidekicks yet, and the adventures are fast paced and full of super-heroics that he didn't do enough of later when his powers were toned way down. The Scarlett Avenger is also entertaining (in the early stories) he's pretty much a cross between the Shadow (legion of agents) and the Avenger (face frozen by tragedy, can reshape it). His serialized adventures were a better representation of the pulps than the Shadow stories I've read (golden age anyway). Mr. Satan has a fairly ridiculous costume and mediocre stories, but the art's good which is more than you can say for the Red Rube. Captain Valor might actually be the best strip early Zips had to offer, Mort Meskin did some great art for them, and the stories are a lot of fun in the tradition of Terry and the Pirates. The rest are filler, although Kalthar is a cut above most jungle strips because it's fun to watch him toss people around when he's a giant. As of #10 most of these strips were dropped (and the Scarlet Avenger degenerated into filler at best), still #10-13 are readable for the Inferno appearances. After that I agree that they're not worth buying unless you strictly look for covers or need every issue. Finally, for the record, I'd like to state that I do care about Captain Commando (I told you I'm a sucker for obscure patriotic heroes). The early stories by Blum are the best, but I also kind of like the later Boy Commando rip-off stories. -Paris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From LKFine@aol.com Wed Mar 10 03:55:56 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 28280 invoked by uid 7770); 10 Mar 1999 11:55:53 -0000 Received: from imo29.mx.aol.com (198.81.17.73) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 10 Mar 1999 11:55:53 -0000 Received: from LKFine@aol.com by imo29.mx.aol.com (IMOv19.3) id rMRLa01636 for ; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 06:55:25 -0500 (EST) From: LKFine@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 06:55:25 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 13 Subject: [mightycomics] Re: MLJ Collecting Thoughts Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 3/9/99 3:56:57 PM Pacific Standard Time, deckerd@agcs.com writes: << Oh my Lord...he bought _those_ in the first year!?

This group is definitely feast or famine. No > real arguments with your assessment of scarcity (although I do think you might > be underestimating the scarcity of Hangman). Well, my estimates were based on personal impressions from several years of going to conventions and getting dealers' lists. Hangman issues weren't common, no, but one or two would show up here or there now and then. Since there were only eight issues, counting Special #1, it wasn't hard to acquire a complete set over two or three years. It helps to be willing to accept less than perfect condition to get a given issue at all. As far as that goes, you could have bought the entire set outright in one go last week, assuming you got there first -- that Showcase New England catalog I mentioned had them all. It wouldn't have been cheap, but it could have been done. I do recall a dealer at Chicago last year looking at my list and being impressed that I had a nearly complete Hangman run (all but #6 at the time); he said practically nobody had them all. Gee, I do now, and it wasn't that hard. And it would have been easier and quicker if I'd had unlimited funds, since I had to pass over some copies I saw offered that were priced too high for my budget. Then again... I remember a couple of years ago a dealer calling me because he had a customer who was hot for a copy of Hangman #5. Couldn't find it anywhere, and the dealer called me because he knew I collected MLJs as a specialty and might either have a copy I'd be willing to part with or would know somebody who did. I couldn't help him, but it sounded like the guy was calling all over and not turning anything up. Maybe it shows that there's some kind of "churn" in the MLJ market. Not every issue is available at every moment, but if you wait long enough, every issue will eventually show up. (To add to my bad karma, I have to guiltily admit that about two weeks later I got a catalog from another dealer that did list Hangman #5...I bought it and didn't say anything to the first dealer...) > I must disagree with your > dismissal of early Zips.

The Steel Sterling stories are good stuff, true. Charles Biro was perfecting that plot-heavy, little-panel story-telling style he'd go on to use in the Gleason Daredevil. But I was being dismissive of the early Zips because Steel Sterling is the only major MLJ hero strip they have. For as much as the old issues cost, getting the Scarlet Avenger and Mr. Satan along with Steel Sterling doesn't quite make up for the lack of a strong second feature. Eventually, though, I'll get around to more of the early Zips as my runs of other titles fill up, and my perceptions may well change to match yours. --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From Magilla445@aol.com Wed Mar 10 09:35:54 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 20319 invoked by uid 7770); 10 Mar 1999 17:35:52 -0000 Received: from imo26.mx.aol.com (198.81.17.70) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 10 Mar 1999 17:35:52 -0000 Received: from Magilla445@aol.com by imo26.mx.aol.com (IMOv19.3) id aPGZa28000 for ; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 12:35:14 -0500 (EST) From: Magilla445@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 12:35:14 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 205 Subject: [mightycomics] Re: MLJ Collecting Thoughts Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 3/10/99 1:57:48 PM !!!First Boot!!!, Deklane@aol.com writes: << Gosh...I hope we aren't boring everybody else on the list with all this esoteric Golden Age talk! --Dwight Decker >> Good Lord, NO!

In the end, I > had to tell Siegel it was no deal. Ditko was disapointed. Interesting story...it also says something sad about Siegel. After what had happened to him with Superman, of course he was going to be cautious about nailing down his rights to his subsequent creations...but it sounds like he had taken it to a counterproductive extreme. It's one thing to be protective, but if if you're so protective that you can't get published at all, what's the point? I recall that Siegel later came to some kind of agreement with Slave Labor Graphics, though I don't know if anything actually appeared in print as a result -- I remember a Slave Labor ad/press release in CBG announcing something was in the works, with a joking line to the effect of "Jerry's been cheated by the biggest and best in the business...and now it's OUR turn to screw him over!" Which wasn't very funny, when you think about it. At the end of his life he was back to doing what he had started out doing as a teenager in the '30s -- submitting ideas for comic strips to small publishers in the hope something would strike gold. Siegel was a case of a someone for whom lightning had struck once, because he had been in the right place at the right time with the right idea, and the turning wheels of the slot machine of destiny never came up with a jackpot again. Getting paranoid about the rights to Ooky and Zookie after losing Superman just seems...pathetic. --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From Chester L Cox Wed Mar 10 15:16:26 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 29085 invoked by uid 7770); 10 Mar 1999 23:16:23 -0000 Received: from x4.boston.juno.com (205.231.101.22) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 10 Mar 1999 23:16:23 -0000 Received: (from chet-el@juno.com) by x4.boston.juno.com (queuemail) id D5DTUTUW; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 18:15:41 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 15:21:19 -0700 Message-ID: <19990310.161439.-496535.0.Chet-EL@juno.com> X-Mailer: Juno 2.0.11 X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 1-7,9 X-Juno-Att: 0 MIME-Version: 1.0 From: Chester L Cox Subject: [mightycomics] re: the Comet Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit It's been mentioned a few times by some folk here, that they think the Comet's costume was particularly hideous.

Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit On Tue, 09 Mar 1999 16:02:45 -0700 Dwight Decker writes, well, summed up, he wrote that the Comet is dead. Except after 1960 or 1962 (when did he first show up in that Fly-Girl story?). Dwight then postulates an Earth-MLJ and an Earth-Mighty, which would certainly save somebody some embarrassment somewhere. However, sieve-memory Chet remembers the Earth-Lightbox version of the Mighty Crusaders time, and a one-shot title (*Hangman* perhaps?) which "explained" the death and rebirth of the Comet. Not very effectively, in my opinion, and it didn't explain why his fashion sense degenerated so badly. There was even some excuse for why he wasn't killing people with his eyes and his powers had changed into the nondescript ones of the Mighty age. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Correction time! Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I can't believe I did this, but...in a recent post, I stated that Blue Ribbon #16 through #19 were issues of pure funnybook glory because they featured four superhero strips: Captain Flag, Mr. Justice, the Fox, and Bob Phantom. WRONG! Not Bob Phantom -- I meant INFERNO! Why my brain slipped a gear there, I don't know. What actually happened with Bob Phantom is kind of interesting. The strip debuted in Blue Ribbon #2 (December, 1939) as MLJ's first costume hero strip. Bob Phantom appeared in the next issue, Blue Ribbon #3 (January, 1940). However, the month after that, Bob Phantom was moved to Top Notch (February, 1940), and the strip stayed in Top Notch for as long as there was a Bob Phantom. Blue Ribbon #4 did not appear for several months, and when it did appear, it was cover-dated June, 1940, and Bob Phantom's costume hero slot was filled by the Fox. Given that there was a long delay between Blue Ribbon #3 and #4 and the fact that Bob Phantom was moved to another book immediately after BR #3, is it possible that Blue Ribbon was cancelled for a while due to poor sales, and only brought back later as a second thought? But if it was given the axe at first, why wasn't Rang-a-Tang the Wonder Dog moved to another book, too? In the early days of Blue Ribbon, it looked as though Rang was considered the book's star character, not Bob Phantom or the Fox. Rang had cover appearances, about the longest strip in the book, and even a club. Maybe the book was never really dead, but just pulled back for retooling. The line-up of strips did go through some drastic revamping a couple of times. Whatever the real story is, it does look from this late date as though Blue Ribbon had a rocky history all the way through its short 22-issue life. Towards the end, though, MLJ finally seemed to have it right, and the issues after #16 are little short of marvelous. And then it died... --Dwight Decker PS: Thanks to dealers' date stamps, there's a rule of thumb for when an issue of an MLJ comic actually hit the stands, as opposed to the cover date. The comics went on sale a consistent two months before the date on the cover. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From Magilla445@aol.com Wed Mar 10 19:24:54 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 4733 invoked by uid 7770); 11 Mar 1999 03:24:25 -0000 Received: from imo17.mx.aol.com (198.81.17.7) by vault.findmail.com with SMTP; 11 Mar 1999 03:24:25 -0000 Received: from Magilla445@aol.com by imo17.mx.aol.com (IMOv19.3) id aWWVa09662 for ; Wed, 10 Mar 1999 22:19:46 +1900 (EST) From: Magilla445@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 22:19:46 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 205 Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Dwight Decker and Archie Comics Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 3/10/99 9:37:08 PM !!!First Boot!!!, deckerd@agcs.com writes: << At the end of his life he was back to doing what he had started out doing as a teenager in the '30s -- submitting ideas for comic strips to small publishers in the hope something would strike gold.

I really liked the "Ooky and Zookie" scripts Siegel did. I still have scripts for three issues on file. The characters were just offbeat and original enough to have been a success. Who knows?

The Shield's last >appearance was in Pep #65 at the end of 1947, and that was it for MLJ heroes. I only have one 1940s MLJ comic in my collection, Pep Comics #42 (Sept. 1943) which shows Archie & Jughead at a microphone in a studio and The Shield and Hangman on the sides, all in blue, looking in from the sound engineer's room -- a plug for the Archie radio show. I bought this at a used bookstore back around 1993 for 5 dollars or less. Today the front and back cover have become loose from the insides, probably due to my handling of the comic (it was weak when I bought it but still attached). Otherwise the condition is okay basically. I'm always surprised at how a publication which has survived for so many decades can be reduced to an inferior condition by my handling of it! I have an Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine from 1942 that obviously had survived for decades with its cover still attached, too, but a few months in my care is all it takes for the cover to finally fall off! I feel a little guilty about that. Anyway, the reason I bought the comic was because it was an affordable Golden-Age comic staring me in the face, because I'm a fan of the Red Circle incarnation of the Shield and was curious about his 1940s incarnation, because I'm a fan of old-time radio and like the Archie show, because I was curious what an Archie story of that vintage read like ("scary Archie," a friend of mine calls it, due to the semi-realistic rendering), and -- well, you get the idea! Although I was hesitant to spend much money back then on a comic (I considered $5 a lot back then), I felt it was worth the price. I was surprised to see that the Shield story was drawn by Irv Novick (whose 1970s DC work on Batman and Flash I was familiar with) but drawn in a style similar to 1940s Captain America stories I'd seen reprints of, with jagged panels instead of square ones, and figures' limbs sometimes extending past the panel borders. I'd never been much interested in the Hangman, and have to admit I haven't yet read his story in this issue. I thought the splash panel was drawn in a weird style, with the length of the Hangman's arms, legs, & cape exaggerated. Interestingly, the Archie strip in this issue had a two-page splash and the ending was to be continued in the next issue. It would be interesting if someone did Archie stories like this today, I think. (It's too bad Pep isn't around for them to appear in, however. Back in 1984, I began buying the Archie humor titles due to my liking of the Archie Adventure Series, and particularly enjoyed an issue of Pep with contained an Archie story or two, a Marvelous Maureen story -- which I didn't care for, but at least it was something different -- and a Thunder Bunny backup story.) Another "to be continued" humor story in this issue is "Catfish Joe" bylined by Larry Harris. The story involves an elephant that has escaped from the circus and wanders a backwoods swampy area where our hero Joe lives. One amusing aspect of this story is the attention paid to dialogue and accents, something rarely shown in modern comics but more prevalent in the days of radio comedy. In one scene, Joe takes his gal Maybelle thru the swamp in a canoe: MAYBELLE: My mammy says this swamp haint a fit place fer humans! JOE: I been through here lotsa times! Don't reckon they's ENNYbuddy knows Spookeefenookee any better'n me! MAYBELLE: Joe, you reckon they got a ellyphant at th' circus? JOE: Ellyphant? Ha-ha! You don't b'lieve they really IS such critters do you? MAYBELLE: Hi Binder said he saw one in a circus down t'N'orleans! JOE: You know what a liar HE is! If they WAS such things I'd a-seen some in this swamp! Reckon they's some of EVERY kind o' critter in here! (And, of course, the lost "ellyphant" does show up in the swamp!) Finally there is the "Captain Commando and the Boy Soldiers" story, drawn by Irv Novick. In fact, I really DO like this story! It begins with Abraham Lincoln berating a trembling Adolf Hitler before a "United Nation's Jury." Lincoln is prosecuting Hitler for his crimes, and Captain Commando is brought in as a witness to testify against Hitler. Cap has a costume similar to Captain America, except a white "C" on his head instead of an "A," and a few other differences. Anyway, the sequence described above turns out to be a nightmare that Hitler is having. (Amusingly, Adolf's pajamas have swastikas all over them.) The story ends with Captain Commando and the Boy Soldiers confronting Hitler when the Fuhrer has just gotten out of bed. Cap delivers an uppercut to the dictator, knocking him out. Cap lays Hitler on the bed and one of the Boy Soldiers complains, "Aw why don't we just knock him off now while we got the chance!" Cap replies, "No! There are others who deserve first crack at him! I wouldn't want to cheat them of their revenge! We've accomplished our objective! Now let's breeze!" Later Hitler wakes up, thinking this was all another dream, until he looks in the mirror and sees the black eye Captain Commando had given him! As I said, the place I bought this was at a used bookstore a few years ago. They also had an issue of Zip Comics for around $5 or $10, but for whatever reason I did not buy that issue at the time, even though I liked Steel Sterling (or, at least, his Red Circle incarnation). Wished I'd bought it now. Back then, $5 or $6 was the most I'd ever spent on a comic. Now the most I've spent on a single comic (not counting TPBs) was $15, for a 1943 Hoppy the Marvel Bunny comic. But my oldest comic is a Feb. 1943 issue of Spy Smasher, bought from that same used bookstore around the same time. The cover logo was torn off; that was the main defect. I forget how much that comic cost -- was probably $4 or less. Another time at that bookstore I bought a coverless copy of a 1944 Flash Comics for 35 cents. Unfortunately, I haven't come across more Golden Age stuff there. By the way, I want to say that the MLJ talk here has been entertaining and enlightening, not boring!

A friend of mine on a Silver Age Comics ML occasionally forwards similar reviews to me. Apparently the practice there is to take a single issue of any Silver Age comic that seems interesting and review it in depth. This is kind of like what they do... But more than that, I actually had a copy of Pep #42 at one time! Over the years, I've made more than one stab at MLJ collecting, but I never got very far because either I'd need some quick cash and have to sell out or I'd suffer some transient loss of interest. During one collecting phase or other, Pep #42 passed through my sweaty palms. I don't remember the Shield story at all, but I do remember the cover and the Captain Commando story with Hitler wearing swastika pajamas and waking up with a shiner. Captain Commando's explanation of why they don't just bump Hitler off while they have a chance is laughably lame. It illustrates a problem that Time Magazine pointed out as early as 1939, right after WWII broke out. In an article about the early Superman, Time referred to the logical problem that if you've got a guy that strong running around, why doesn't he just stop the war right now? Basically, you've got super-duper types in the comics who would have major effects on the real world if they actually existed, but you can't have them stopping the war or killing Hitler because nothing would happen in the real world and readers would lose their suspension of disbelief. (Incidentally, that Time article about Superman, which I looked up on microfiche researching something else years ago, actually used the term "World War II." Since it was right after the German invasion of Poland, it may have actually been the first use of the term ever. It seems so natural to us now after 60 years of constant use that we don't realize how odd it must have seemed when it was invented. Time was notorious in those days for its house writing style, and "World War II" does sound like a Time-ism. It would be funny if it turned out that the first actual use of "World War II" really was in a Time article about Superman!) I feel your pain when you talk about the wear and tear you put on comics that survived in decent shape for decades until they had the misfortune of winding up in your possession. I have a copy of Shield-Wizard #2 that was in nice condition until it came unto me. I wanted to make a xerox copy of the two-page recap of the Shield's origin, and in trying to lay the comic flat on the copier, the cover popped off from the staples. Then an acquaintance of mine who has a Biztech franchise offered to make a color copy of the entire comic for the members of a comics club I'm in, so I sent it to him. He sat on it for a year, never did anything with the comic beyond test-run some copies of the cover, then sent it back to me. By this time, the front cover had separated completely from the back cover along the spine. I'm starting to price restoral services for this one. And until I wised up, I had a problem with comics in plastic bags that were taped shut. More than once, in taking the comic out of the bag or putting it back in, that strip of tape hanging loose from the flap has stuck to the comic cover, and more than once a bit of cover has come off the with tape when I tried to pry it loose. Imagine this happening to your Action #1... "Scary Archie"? Paul Reinman did a back-up "Boy Buddies" story in Hangman #3, featuring Dusty and Roy (the Shield's and Wizard's boy sidekicks, respectively) in an adventure together, much of it while wearing their civvies instead of their costumes. Dusty is a red-haired lad wearing '40s teenager clothes, and struck me as "Real Archie" -- what Archie would look like if drawn realistically. Kind of spooky, actually. As for the MLJ talk boring people...I just didn't want to scare people off from the ML by making it seem as though we only talk about old comic books so obscure that only three people in the whole world are still alive who have seen them... --Dwight Decker rob imes wrote: > I only have one 1940s MLJ comic in my collection, Pep Comics #42 (Sept. > 1943) which shows Archie & Jughead at a microphone in a studio and The > Shield and Hangman on the sides, all in blue, looking in from the sound > engineer's room -- a plug for the Archie radio show.

I don't think the name was ever explained, and I don't think there was ever even a proper origin. He was a Broadway columnist by day, and tended to appear in costume out of a puff of smoke to confront bad guys. I'm not sure if he even had well-defined powers -- I don't know if the appearing out of a puff of smoke bit was a gimmick done with a smoke bomb or actual teleportation/materialization. My personal hypothesis is that this was 1939. Costume heroes were new and this was MLJ's first stab at one. The folks at MLJ may not have quite understood what all a respectable mystery man required at that point, and later just never bothered to fill in the details on the Bobster even after they figured it out. I believe he did appear in "Too Many Super-Heroes" in a panel or two, and there it was implied that he did materialize in a cloud of smoke...or is my memory at fault? Great generic super-hero costume, by the way (that is, it looks like a costume for a super-hero drawn by an artist outside of comic books trying to draw a generic super-hero, not one that's actually published by any real comic-book company, for an ad or something). --Dwight Decker Chester L Cox wrote: > Dwight & Paris (and anyone Who Knows), this is one of my favorite names > for a superhero, yet I know nothing beyond his name.

(wuz: Oops! Correction time!) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Well, Dwight beat me to the punch again, but if there's one hero who deserves two posts it's...Captain Flag but nobody asked about him so let's talk about Bob Phantom. No information is known about how he came up with the name that ranks him up there with Mr. Terrific and the Red Bee. I imagine it went something like this. "Call me Phantom (realizes the copyright problems and on the spur of the moment adds...). Uh, Bob Phantom, yeah that's the ticket." His powers are a little more interesting. Eventually he settled on the appearing in a puff of smoke bit, but in early issues he had a lot more powers. In Top-Notch #3 he blows a bullet back at the guy who fired it, starts a cyclone and dust storm by waving his cape, he apparently has full control over this storm as he picks up the gangs hideout with it and deposits it on the front lawn of the kidnap victims estate, and of course he does the smoke bit. Knowing what I know about Golden Age comics, I would guess that he got his powers in Tibet. In Top-Notch #15 he picks up his girl Friday (named Jinx Friday). She helps him solve a crime she's gotten mixed up in so he offers her a job. At first she doesn't want to accept, because she's so plain, but once he convinces her to let down her hair and lose the glasses she realizes how hot she really is. Sad to say, neither of them would ever look this good again (unless Mort Meskin did more of his adventures). In addition to Meskin, this issue has a great Camy cover (he also does the Black Hood and Wizard stories) and the best work of Warren King's career (for whatever reason he did a great job on Firefly and mediocre work on everything else). This is a great issue to sample if you want to try Top-Notch. -Paris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From Chester L Cox Sat Mar 13 19:29:54 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 31945 invoked by uid 7770); 14 Mar 1999 03:29:51 -0000 Received: from x4.boston.juno.com (205.231.101.22) by 207.138.41.143 with SMTP; 14 Mar 1999 03:29:51 -0000 Received: (from chet-el@juno.com) by x4.boston.juno.com (queuemail) id D5KGYBU8; Fri, 12 Mar 1999 23:00:48 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 20:55:13 -0700 Message-ID: <19990312.210001.-339349.0.Chet-EL@juno.com> X-Mailer: Juno 2.0.11 X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 1-3,5-31 X-Juno-Att: 0 MIME-Version: 1.0 From: Chester L Cox Subject: [mightycomics] Re: MIGHTY CRUSADERS #3 & #7 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Those (the 1960s versions), I'm usually interested in.

I recently started ordering MicroComics' Golden Age comics on microfiche. While I've been satisfied most of the time, I was disappointed with the reproduction on the Black Hood issues. They were obviously shot from large bound editions, so when they placed the book on whatever it is that is used to make the microfiche, the middle of the issues is sort of pinched together, cropping off a substantial part of each page near the binding. This really affects the art and makes some captions and word balloons unreadable. I've enjoyed reading the Black Hood stories, since I can USUALLY figure out most of the missing words, but it's still disappointing. Here's my question - are there any other fiche which suffer similar problems, so I can take that into account when I consider ordering them? I have the first 10 issues of Blue Ribbon, but they don't have that problem. I'm more concerned with the Hangman and Pep microfiche. - Bill By the way, check out my website for authentic Golden Age reprints at http://members.xoom.com/pfeonline/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From "Bradley S.

Haven't looked at it in a long time, so I hauled it out yesterday and read the Bob Phantom story. Dunno about Meskin. Always had the idea his pencils were loose to non-existent and he did most of his drawing at the inking stage. He could also be sparse to non-existent with the backgrounds. But in this story, he could draw a pretty girl well enough to pull off the last couple of panels so that when Jinx lets her hair down and takes off the glasses, she really is a knock-out. But still...I'm not sure if contact lenses even existed in the early '40s (or if they did, they weren't common), so if she's wearing glasses at all, wouldn't it be because she, well, NEEDS them? That's all a Broadway columnist and part-time crime-fighter needs...a beautiful assistant who won't wear glasses out of vanity and is half-blind without them. Hope he doesn't need her to drive him anywhere... --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From "Bradley S.

I'd guess it comes from having four monthly anthology comics to fill at their peak: Blue Ribbon, Top-Notch, Pep, and Zip. In the days when comics were 60+ pages and most of those minor back-up features were short, that's a lot of pages and a lot of different strips. Without knowing anything about the company's internal workings or policies, it looks to me as though MLJ got extra mileage out of some ideas for strips by doing them twice. That is, two similar strips with different names and minor varations would run in two of the anthology titles. This tendency didn't seem to apply to the superhero strips, which are all pretty distinctive (the Black Hood and the Hangman may be both distant Batman cousins with a common executioner theme in their names, but they aren't that similar in execution (so to speak), Inferno and Fireball aren't really much alike, the Shield and Captain Flag both wear the flag but aren't much alike in treatment). The minor strips, however, show some more obvious pairs. The resemblance of the two magician strips, Zambini and Kardak, actually got a mention in "Too Many Super-Heroes." The resemblance of the two military comedy strips, Corporal Collins in Blue Ribbon and Sgt. Boyle in Pep, was the basis of an amusing feud between the two. And there are others: Dicky in the Magic Forest and Danny in Wonderland (and maybe Loop Logan and Wings Johnson). A closer examination of the various anthology lineups than I've had a chance to give them might turn up still more. However, there's one pair that strikes deep in the heart of Archie Comics history: Wilbur and Archie. Wilbur and Archie are two similar strips, but Wilbur actually started in Zip about three months before Archie started in Pep. Why Archie took off and Wilbur staggered along for years is a mystery, perhaps due to Archie having better art or scripts. Still, I think Wilbur starting before Archie is a strong hint that John Goldwater's and ArchieCo's later official story of how Archie came to be is at best a very simplified version of what was probably the usual messy process of experimenting blindly in the hope of something taking off, and that was the one that unexpectedly did. --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From Positronic@aol.com Tue Mar 23 05:02:09 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 13174 invoked by uid 7770); 23 Mar 1999 13:02:06 -0000 Received: from imo14.mx.aol.com (198.81.17.4) by vault.egroups.com with SMTP; 23 Mar 1999 13:02:06 -0000 Received: from Positronic@aol.com by imo14.mx.aol.com (IMOv19.3) id aAARa14279 for ; Tue, 23 Mar 1999 08:01:40 -0500 (EST) From: Positronic@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 08:01:40 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 246 Subject: [mightycomics] Just Thinkin' About Those MLJs...

Man, has this list been hoppin' in the last few weeks! Only in the last couple of days have I been able to catch up with it. With Dwight and Paris, it's almost as if a dam burst somewhere; a flood of voluminous posts kept me busy reading for a few hours there. It's interesting though, several things that Dwight mentioned got me to thinking. First, about the relatively few books that comprise the entirety of MLJ's golden age of costumed heroes (217, was it?), then the distribution of the hero strips among the various anthology titles, and finally, Dwight's mention of the relative page length of the various lead and back up features. Then, someone mentioning the microfiches and scanning MLJs... all of which leads me to ask, has anyone tried to do a page count of exactly (or even a ballpark figure) how many pages of superhero strips we're talking about here? Even if you don't have all the issues of a particular character's appearances, it would seem logical to assume you could work out these statistics pretty closely simply by figuring the number of issues a character appeared in, and the number of pages he was regularly allotted (which may have changed over time, if a character had a fairly lengthy run). What all this is leading up to is this -- I don't own a single MLJ comic, and its doubtful at my age (unless my disposable income were to increase pretty damn significantly) that I'll ever even attempt to assemble a run of these. However, I LOVE reprints and (while I've only read a dozen or so MLJ stories) I'd love to be able to read these stories. While I don't imagine Archieco will be offering the "MLJ Archives" in glossy, hardbound $50 volumes anytime soon (or ever, for that matter), it DOES seem feasable that someone (or someoneS) with a fairly complete collection could scan these and make 'em available to interested parties. Unlike printed volumes, the cost of doing this kind of thing would be pretty reasonable (almost no overhead, except that the process would be pretty labor-intensive). PLUS, the great thing would be you could get COMPLETE consecutive runs, by character, cutting out all the "filler" -- you only get the CD-ROMs of characters that YOU'RE interested in. Of course, it would require a coalition of bighearted individuals who were doing this project strictly as a labor of love and with an idea toward the historical preservation of this material, combined with someone with the computer tech savvy to pull it off (and of course, you'd need to cut the necessary deal with Archieco -- but if someone was willing to do the work, I'm sure they'd be amenable to collecting the royalties, small though they may be; after all, I doubt Archie has any plans to reprint these themselves in ANY form). It would essentially be a vanity press item. Anyway, regardless of what you all think of the idea, I'd STILL like to know page-count totals for all of the various characters, if anyone can provide them. Thanks!

Assuming I ever manage to reach a complete set before my interest or finances fail me, I might declare totality at 220, and count Top-Notch Laugh #45 even though the Black Hood's last appearance in the title was #44, just to complete the Top Notch run. The art on the Suzie strip in #45 was...er, top notch. (Note: The title did something confusing at that point, which some of the early funnybook bibliographers didn't catch at first. At #46, Top Notch Laugh changed its name to just Laugh Comics, then at #49 became Suzie Comics, and lasted until #100. The Laugh Comics we remember and which lasted into our own time was actually a continuation of Special/Hangman'Black Hood numbering. I'd love to make the ironic observation that a title called Laugh Comics began life as Hangman Comics (quite a contrast, huh?), except that the first issue was really called Special Comics. Anyway, Top-Notch Laugh did not become the Laugh Comics we knew; there were two different titles called Laugh Comics.) > then the distribution of the hero strips among the various anthology > titles, and finally, Dwight's mention of the relative page length of the > various lead and back up features.

It's easier than you think to figure it out (though I personally don't want to bother with doing the math, lazy slug that I am). Send me your home address, I'll send you photocopies of the Howard Keltner checklist that breaks MLJ titles down by strips and page counts, and you can do the figgerin' part yourself. Main thing to watch for is strips that appeared in other books to use up inventory when the books they originally appeared in were cancelled (this happened twice to the Black Hood, once when his strip in Top Notch was dropped and again when his own book was killed -- both times the leftover strips were run in Pep). > What all this is leading up to is this -- I don't own a single > MLJ comic, and its doubtful at my age (unless my disposable income were to > increase pretty damn significantly) that I'll ever even attempt to assemble a > run of these.

There's possibilites there -- while it certainly didn't set the world on fire for such relatively obscure characters as Malibu's UltraForce, I'd like to think that Archie's superheroes are inherently better conceptually and design-wise (more archetypal) and might have more appeal for the general public with just a little bit of modernizing to take the tarnish off.

I've been a lurker here for quite awhile, partially because I consider Mark L. to be a friend (I came *this* close to writing "fiend"--I can't tell which overrode which, my fingers or my brain!); partially because I also have other fiends on board; partially because I remember reading some of these comics as a kid but haven't seen one for ages; partially because.....hmmmmm ....I believe I'm fully out of partiallys! Anyways, I recently bought two Mighty Comics Group comics through Mark (The Mighty Crusaders #3 & 7, both 1966) and I thought I'd go ahead and post my impressions. As I think I did mention in one post waybackwhen, as a kid these would come through very sporadically, and since my brother and I were comic book whores (cashing in coke bottles, searching through payphone change receptacles, *actually* doing chores, you-name-it to dig up multiples of 12 pennies) we would pick them up whenever we could. I especially recall liking The Shield and The Fly (with special emphasis on his partner, Fly Girl--hominah hominah!). THE MIGHTY CRUSADERS #3: The Cover: Great cover! The Crusaders, in full circle formation, are all attacking in the middle what appears to be to my eyes a Kirby-inspired villain (whom I'm soon to find out is called The Deathless Smiler (TDS)-- what a cool name!). The lettering used to display "The Might Crusaders" suffers from being too plain to inspire excitement by itself (something which I see is improved upon by issue #7, at least), however, the little triangular insert off to its left, sporting a group portrait and the words "Mighty Comic Group" is very pleasing. Directly below it is the banner announcing that "Evil Lurks Amongst Us!"--to my eyes, a Marvel- inspired touch (feel free to correct me if wrong, but I couldn't help but feel, as I thumbed through these, that they were in many ways trying to ape Marvel's style--I realize that I might be tainted by my unabashed Marvel Zombie-ness). The artwork is top-notch, superbly composed and executed. TDS is obviously confident in his superiority, despite being beseiged on all sides, with The Shield attacking with what appears to be some kind of metal door (!). The Fly, I'm sorry to report, appears to be punching thin air, but, oh well, at least he's in the spirit of things. Suffice it to say that the cover did its job and got me excited about what might be inside. The Interior: The frontpage splash further evidences a Marvel influence: The "Mighty Crusaders" banner running fully across the top of the page which could just as easily say The Mighty Avengers; the usage of a storefront awning acting as a title marquee; the banner at the bottom proclaiming the ish as a MIGHTY COMIC GROUPS Production; but especially the credit box near the bottom: Edited with enthusiasm by: Rick Gee Drawn with dexterity by: Paul Are Written with wisdom by" Jerry Ess Colored with crayon by: Vic Torr Straight out, of course, the Stan Lee method of comic production. (Unless he lifted the style from somewhere else that I'm unaware of. None of the Marvel influences, however, really generate the excitement Stan managed.) I know that Jerry Ess, is Seigel (sp?) right? Is Paul Are, Reinman? How about the others? And, why on earth did they feel it necessary to pseudonym? The artwork surprises me. It's more than just serviceable, it's actually much better than I expected. Although more of a DC look than a Marvel look to my eye, (and I'm sorry, but I'll almost always take the Marvel look!), I'd *expected* not to enjoy the artwork. If this *is* Reinman, he does a much more solidly heroic job than he'd done elsewhere. I prefer this to Heck, Tuska, Sekowsky, or others that I'd place near the same level of competence/excitement. The art kept my interest throughout--being drawn to comics primarily for the visual, I have a REAL hard time liking a comic no matter how good the story if the art is poor. Having said that, I also was impressed with the writing. The literacy of the piece rivals and perhaps even tops Marvel for not writing down to its audience. The characters might speak in a slightly archaic formal manner, but at least for me now that adds charm. As a 7 year old, I don't recall what kind of reac- tion it engendered. I found Siegel's humor very enjoyable.... again, perhaps following in a Marvel vein but with a distinct flavor all it's own. With this comic, I think I understand the devotion you all have toward this branch of comics, and am looking forward to fur- ther exposure. If anyone has any reading copies for sale, I would be very interested; however, I have no use for higher quality con- dition. I'm much more a reader than collector.

I've recently gotten interested in pulps. I've managed to pick up a few cheap ones on ebay, but some of the best ones are out of my range. Fortunately I found a great company, called Adventure House, that puts out high quality reprints for $6 an issue. They've reprinted the entire Operator #5, Purple Invasion story (sadly not all the issues are available for direct order). I also picked up the latest issue, starring Captain Satan, which is also a lot of fun (hold on, I'm getting to the point). In the back they have an ad showing what's on tap for the next four issues and lo and behold the third issue features a reprint of a Black Hood pulp story. For those of you who weren't aware, the Black Hood made the almost unprecedented leap from comics to pulps (going from pulps to comics was a lot more common) not to mention his own radio show (and if anyone knows how to get copies of that I'd love to hear about it). Unfortunately, the reprints are bi-monthly so this thing isn't going to hit the stands until November, but I thought you'd all be interested in hearing about this. High Adventure is the name of the magazine, it's available through Diamond, and the issue to look for is (I think) #48, so be on the lookout. -Paris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From "Baeza, Rodrigo (Pros)" Mon Mar 29 04:31:22 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 165 invoked by uid 7770); 29 Mar 1999 12:31:00 -0000 Received: from lah7-global.lanchile.cl (HELO dominga.lanchile.cl) (209.88.22.7) by vault.egroups.com with SMTP; 29 Mar 1999 12:31:00 -0000 Received: from ntmta.lanchile.cl ([57.228.128.66]) by dominga.lanchile.cl (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id IAA14250 for ; Mon, 29 Mar 1999 08:38:30 -0400 Received: by NTMTA with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9) id ; Mon, 29 Mar 1999 09:35:37 -0400 Message-ID: <81ECF15D5F65D2118BBA006094636BCA03CAAF5D@NTCORREO> From: "Baeza, Rodrigo (Pros)" To: mightycomics@egroups.com Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 09:31:53 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9) Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Report from a Relative Newbie (lengthy, I'm af raid) Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Lyle wrote: > Edited with enthusiasm by: Rick Gee > Drawn with dexterity by: Paul Are > Written with wisdom by" Jerry Ess > Colored with crayon by: Vic Torr > > Straight out, of course, the Stan Lee method of comic production. > (Unless he lifted the style from somewhere else that I'm unaware > of.

And yes, "Paul Are" is Reinman. Thansk for the info, Rodrigo! I really am impressed with Paul's superhero work. He did such a cruddy job inking Kirby, I wouldn't have necessarily thought he could've pulled off superhero artwork so well. I notice there's no Inker credit.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hey guys! I just got a comic in the mail that I won from an ebay auction. It says "First Edition" across the top, and then "The Magnificent Superheroes of Comics Golden Age" Anyone ever heard of this? When I have seen it listewd on ebay, they alwaysd list it as First Edition Superheroes. It has some great MLJ storiers in it. It has a story of the Hangman, one of Shield/Dusty, one of The Web, One with The Wizard and Roy, One of Black Jack, and one of Steel Sterling. It also has Daredevil (the original), Captain Battle, Magno, Lash Lightning (aka Lightning), Blue Bolt, and Mr. Scarlet and Pinky. Are any of these other characters from MLJ? And, are there any more of these types of comics? It is a 128 page, black and white book with no ads. It has some guy on the cover whom I have never seen before and is nowhere in the book. On another note, I just got my copy of Superheroes vs. Supervillians in the mail yesterday. It is really cool. It has the mighty crusaders, but they don't have that name yet. If you want a copy, Mile High Comics has it listed in their inventory, and I think it was listed at $1.25.

Of interest, I noted the last panel had a "SH-8" designation. Assuming the SH stand for "Super Hero", I'd guess that Archie must have published 7 of these mini-origin summary pages prior to this.

It was a small-time, privately printed pirate job as far as I know (taking advantage of lapsed copyrights, I'm sure), and I think it came out in the late '70s. The Hangman. Shield, Web, Wizard, BlackJack, and Steel Sterling stories are of course MLJ. None of the others are. The cover is of a generic superhero that has nothing to do with the contents, drawn by some minor name artist from the Golden Age. I think there is at least one other hodgepodge reprint book like this with a Black Hood story (that I remember) that came from the same outfit. The books are nice samplers of Golden Age comics, but the stories lose a lot in dreary black and white. --Dwight Decker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/mightycomics Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com From Positronic@aol.com Wed Mar 31 10:43:40 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 18775 invoked by uid 7770); 31 Mar 1999 18:34:45 -0000 Received: from imo13.mx.aol.com (198.81.17.3) by vault.egroups.com with SMTP; 31 Mar 1999 18:34:45 -0000 Received: from Positronic@aol.com by imo13.mx.aol.com (IMOv19.3) id aUMJa10360 for ; Wed, 31 Mar 1999 13:34:18 -0500 (EST) From: Positronic@aol.com Message-ID: <2315c41e.37026aaa@aol.com> Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 13:34:18 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 246 Subject: [mightycomics] Re: reprint material?

The Web was apparently the original one (references were made to wife Rosie), although how this could be was never explained. No info on new incarnations of the Crusaders, beyond the rumor that Archie has hired Jim Valentino to edit the line.

Whether or not he's RESPECTED by any individual or group is another story. By virtue of his wealth and position of power, he's virtually guaranteed respect from SOME quarters (or at the very least, all the external signs of respect), regardless of what some people may feel about him personally.

I remember my old friend Bob Samspon referring to those comics as "a horrid botch of unspeakable drivel"....and he wasn't too far wrong. Of course, as an old pulp reader/collector, Bob didn't care much for comic books under the best of circumstances. Actually, Archie's version of the Shadow was so bad that it actually has a charm to it. Kind of like an old Frankie and Annette "Beach party" movie.

Vaguely. Belmont and the Mighty line were connected - no one's quite sure how, but part of it was that whoever-was-at-Belmont encouraged Archie to publish superheroes again and Belmont would front (?) some money for the rights to publish them in paperback. One or two stories actually appeared in the (one) paperback before they (it?) hit the comic book(s). I think it was "Fly-Man's Really Big Screw-Up" or words to that effect. It had that notorious line "That's why 'Fly-Man' is such a big hit despite competitors' lies. Yip-E-Ki-Yay!" The whoever in question may have also been on staff at Archie. Belmont had leased the Shadow character, farmed it to Archie, and - despite a post earlier here, the first couple of issues of the comic weren't that big a departure for the character. On the cover, except for coloring, he didn't look that different from the 1940s comic strip - nor was the scripting that different from the 1940s comic & comic strip (not necessarily the pulps). Starting issue #3, Lamont became an agent for CYPHER - just like in the Belmont novels. The first Belmont novel was the only one which Gibson was contracted to write. It was to reintroduce the characters to a new generation, which it did very well. (I got my copy through Ron Frantz, as a matter of fact. He led me to it, because he already had a copy. And we both were still looking for a decent copy of *Groves of Doom*.) After Gibson's initial novel, the INTENT was to reprint the pulp novels - just as Bantam and Jove later did. However, Gibson's novel was a runaway bestseller (those were the days when even the biggest bestseller wasn't listed on any bestseller lists if it was a "genre" novel), and Belmont couldn't bring themselves to believe that anything but new novels would sell. So.....they foolishly "updated" the whole shebang, and threw in (as Ron noted) the current fad: spy superheroics. The comics added the costume, and brought back Shiwan Khan every blinkin' issue. And Paul Reinman, who I've been told was a good fine-artist, seemed as uninspired as could be. I can't blame him. His layouts were quite nice, though. *jeep! --Chet "..my jokes, you can take 'em or leave 'em. But when Congress makes a joke, it's a law. And when they make a law, it's a joke."

The rest of the series was by Dennis Somebodyorother (the same guy who wrote the MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. novels), and they updated The Shadow to the sixties world of superspies. I don't have confirmation on the relationship between Archie and Belmont, but if memory serves, I remember reading something about it that was very similar to what you said above. So originally Archie's SHADOW was based on that updated reworking of The Shadow, not the original character as conceived by Gibson. I believe the novels introduced Weston as the head of that C.H.I.E.F. organization.

Strong & Bobby Bell,Kathar the giant man,Nevada Jones,Captain Valor,Cat-Girl,Kree Nal the Sea Circe,Captain Commando,the Falcon,and the Press Guardian (who are two seperate characters).Now the fun begins as we discover that a Band of Super Villains (and Villainess),have captured the first group of Heroes who aplied for membership.Any thoughts?LMK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/mightycomics http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications From "Bradley S.

As I recall, the story ended when The Mighty Crusaders decided there were too many applicants and decided not to accept anyone. So, some of the characters decided to form teams of their own. I think it would have made a more interesting story line had all the characters just joined the Mighty Crusaders. They could have taken turns, or something along those lines. Forming new teams, didn't make a lot of sense.

I am not 100% certain, but I think John Guinta was the first artist to use it when the Comet made his first silver age appearance in an issue of The Fly. It was an issue or two before Jerry Seigel and Paul Reinman revamped the character as Fly Man, and all that Mighty Crusaders stuff started. In that first story, his helmet was various shades of red. Later it became green. Why is it that I can remember nonsense like this when I have difficulty remembering my son's birthday. Sheesh!

I personally prefer the Golden Age look myself,and have always thought that the other character should have been called Rainbow or some such,and that the costume would look better on a female than on a male.Look for Mr. Scarlet to appear in August's Good Guys and Gals,and in September we have Shield's sidekick Dusty the Detective making an appearance.But it gets better! In October Mr. Justice and Mr. Satan pop up,and in November there are 9 MLJ'ers who will be the major focus of that issue. Thought you'd like to know.So how have you all been?It's been pretty quite on this board as of late.

Armstrong I've come to look at the '60s Comet as a Silver Age revamp similar to what Schwartz & Co. did at DC with the Flash, Green Lantern, and the Atom. Modernized costumes, somewhat (or even very) different powers. Main difference was that the Silver Age Comet was supposed to be the same guy as the Golden Age Comet, tossing out of the canon the fact that he had died on stage back in Pep #17 in 1941 and was the Hangman's brother. I won't say I exactly _liked_ the Silver Age Comet's costume and powers, but I thought it all sorta worked for the character. If Mighty Comics had no plans for him, that is. If the idea was to keep him just the relatively mature, older leader of the Mighty Crusaders, and he'd only be seen in the Crusaders book as the leader-type trying to keep order among the younger. more hot-headed members, the wise scientist Mr. Fantastic-type who wasn't very interesting in himself but could always be counted on to come up with just the right super-duper device to break out of a trap or the key insight that solves a case, well, yes. If the idea was to someday star him in his own strip or even book, uh...nope. What have I been up to lately? Roy Thomas tapped me to write an article on MLJ for Alter Ego. And I see by the San Diego Comic-Con website that Irwin Hasen and Irving Novick are going to be at SDCC next month. Gads, if I can only get Novick to answer a few questions about the early days, we'll be haulin' the mail on this article! I also noticed that Archie Comics has a sort of bulletin board on their website where kids can write e-mail comments and get them posted (after being checked by the staff for "appropriateness" though not for spelling or grammar). Kids burbling that "Jughead is da bomb!" or "Please Archie back on TV" or "Why don't you make a book about Reggie?" made me decide to put some meat into the diet here. So I sent off a note to the effect of "FUN FACTS ABOUT ARCHIE!" I had three-- 1. The first significant Archie Comics character was a dog, Rang-A-Tang the Wonder Dog. 2. In Archie's VERY first appearance (in a coming next issue ad in Pep #21), his hair was colored black. 3. The answer to the trivia question, "What strip in Pep Comics did Archie replace," is Madame Satan." The last time I looked, ArchieCo hadn't posted my fun facts. Maybe this was all a little too heavy-duty fanatic-collector-type stuff? --Dwight Decker From "Kris Brownlow" Fri Jul 23 15:35:00 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 13107 invoked by uid 7770); 23 Jul 1999 22:34:58 -0000 Received: from qh.egroups.com (HELO qh.findmail.com) (10.1.2.28) by ivault.egroups.com with SMTP; 23 Jul 1999 22:34:58 -0000 Received: (qmail 14783 invoked from network); 23 Jul 1999 22:34:58 -0000 Received: from f242.hotmail.com (HELO hotmail.com) (207.82.251.133) by qh.egroups.com with SMTP; 23 Jul 1999 22:34:58 -0000 Received: (qmail 33505 invoked by uid 0); 23 Jul 1999 22:34:57 -0000 Message-ID: <19990723223457.33504.qmail@hotmail.com> Received: from 209.240.200.46 by www.hotmail.com with HTTP; Fri, 23 Jul 1999 15:34:57 PDT X-Originating-IP: [209.240.200.46] From: "Kris Brownlow" To: mightycomics@egroups.com Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 15:34:57 PDT Mime-Version: 1.0 Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Welcome John Armstrong Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Welcome to John Armstrong, glad you made it. You'll notice many of the usual suspects er NAMES..usual names on this list that you see over on Kirby-L etc. As for my preference regarding the Comet, I have to confess that I prefer the Rainbow Helmet...mainly because this is how I first encountered the character so theres a nostalgia factor.

Also good luck in interviewing Hasen and especially Novick. He seemed to have dropped off the map after his DC work in the 70s.

Compared to previous years, Golden Age MLJs seemed to be in short supply. There were some (I think I saw three different copies of Top Notch #9 with the origin of the Black Hood), but I was disappointed by how few there were. This may be personal perception, since my MLJ collection is somewhere over half complete. I may just have all the common titles now, and what I don't have are rarer -- so the books I saw for sale tended to be issues I already have. Prices varied, too -- a couple of dealers had titles of interest, but were 200% over Guide or higher, while other dealers were more reasonable. Still, I wonder if a lot of Golden Age action has moved to Ebay in the last year or so? My own acquistions included Pep #25 (ratty shape but readable -- the Archie story was reprinted in the Archie 40's trade paperback a few years ago), Zip #24 (decent shape -- nice early Blackjack story, too, with a nasty villain named Pokerface), and five issues of Top-Notch Laugh -- #28 (the first mostly funny format issue), #44 (last issue with the Black Hood), #45 (last issue as Top Notch -- no heroes, though there is a full-page ad for the Black Hood comic), and a couple of issues in between. Condition was mostly well-worn, but who wants to pay premium prices for Fine copies of this title? I saw Irwin Hasen and got my copy of Blue Ribbon #4 with the origin of the Fox autographed. I also saw Irv Novick on the Batman and Golden Age panels...and arranged to interview him for the MLJ article I'm writing for Alter Ego. I knew going in to the interview that Novick wouldn't have a lot of the inside dope. Although he was at MLJ from the start in late '39 and remained well into the Archie Comics period, he had made it pretty clear on the panels that he was just an artist who got the scripts, drew them, turned the art in, and didn't pay much attention to the larger picture. Also, Novick is about 85 and this is stuff that he was doing 60 years ago, practically, so he's forgotten a lot, too. He had nothing but good to say about MLJ, though. MLJ gave him plenty of work and paid him decently. Even when he was in the Army during WWII, he was able to moonlight by drawing for MLJ at night. And of course he was a fill-in artist, always called in to draw a strip when the regular artist left. He wasn't in on editorial conferences, however, so he wasn't privy to WHY certain things were done. I had to remind him that the Shield was drastically changed around Pep #29, and he no longer remembers why the costume was changed to add trunks. He did say his style evolved gradually over time, but he was never given explicit instructions to draw more like Simon & Kirby; he said he wouldn't have known who they were at the time. Nor was he told about any sudden shift of the firm's editorial direction (you can date almost to the month in 1942 when SOMETHING happened, just from following the books) towards more funny stuff. He just drew the scripts they sent him and didn't worry about the whys and wherefores. One intriguing thing he did mention was that he even drew an Archie story in the Archie style at some point. Still the interview was worthwhile for confirming some things I'd suspected from looking at the books. The editor, Harry Shorten, is the man we should be giving credit for being the guiding editorial hand behind the MLJ heroes. (Though Mike Benton's Golden-Age Superheroes book gives the credit for the creation of Steel Sterling to artist Charles Biro and an MLJ editor with a name something like Abner Sundell -- was there more than one editor? Wish I'd thought to ask...) Novick said he designed the Shield's costume, and creation of the Shield might be fairly termed a collaborative effort between him and Shorten. Shorten came up with the idea of a hero with a patriotic motif ("Superman in a flag," I'd call it) and Novick took it from there. (Though of course Captain America took the idea and ran with it a lot further...) Anyway, how often do you get to talk to somebody who worked for MLJ? Novick was very gracious about answering my questions as best he could (and his wife, who sat in on the interview, was just the sweetest lady -- if I didn't already have a mother, I think I'd want her for the job). Both were astonished when I showed them the Benton Golden Age Superheroes book -- Novick hadn't known he had been written about in a real book. I think I'll send them my copy when the article is done as a thank-you gesture, since they probably won't be able to get one themselves (the book is out of print, though I've seen it remaindered here and there for about $15.00). And finally, somebody showed me an issue of the Fly comic at the con, early in the run but after Simon & Kirby were gone, apparently drawn by one of the regular Archie artists. It has a slightly loopy look to it -- the art is serious but not quite serious. I rather liked it myself; a touch of exaggerated cartooniness even in a teeth-clenchingly dramatic superhero strip isn't necessarily a bad thing. (Hey, my favorite Fox story is the one Bob Montana did for that reason.) I think I would have rather have looked at a Fly drawn by an Archie artist than at all those Rosenberger issues... --Dwight Decker From pamric@webtv.net (Richard and Pamela Boucher) Thu Aug 19 19:39:24 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 18905 invoked by uid 7770); 20 Aug 1999 02:39:18 -0000 Received: from qg.egroups.com (HELO qg.findmail.com) (10.1.2.27) by vault.egroups.com with SMTP; 20 Aug 1999 02:39:18 -0000 Received: (qmail 19568 invoked from network); 20 Aug 1999 02:39:18 -0000 Received: from mailsorter-105-2.iap.bryant.webtv.net (209.240.198.118) by qg.egroups.com with SMTP; 20 Aug 1999 02:39:18 -0000 Received: from postoffice-242.iap.bryant.webtv.net (postoffice-242.iap.bryant.webtv.net [209.240.199.90]) by mailsorter-105-2.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.8/ms.gso.08Dec97) with ESMTP id TAA16924; Thu, 19 Aug 1999 19:39:18 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from production@localhost) by postoffice-242.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.8/po.gso.24Feb98) id TAA23525; Thu, 19 Aug 1999 19:39:17 -0700 (PDT) X-WebTV-Signature: 1 ETAtAhRn7EYmeSK4pb6b+hhGnU96J40oRwIVALNNKgQ11r4rM0U4sYT3uCRhpQTu From: pamric@webtv.net (Richard and Pamela Boucher) Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 19:39:17 -0700 (PDT) To: mightycomics@egroups.com Message-ID: <5842-37BCBFD5-10516@postoffice-242.iap.bryant.webtv.net> In-Reply-To: "Paul Newell" 's message of Thu, 19 Aug 1999 15:53:38 -0000 Content-Disposition: Inline MIME-Version: 1.0 (WebTV) Subject: [mightycomics] Re: AU URL (was Mr. Satan post) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Paul, Thanks for the URL.Mike Kidson,another lister from Australia was kind enough to send me this too!But I had accidentally deleted it.So your timing is great!BTW,the aforementioned M.

And in going through the crumbling old MLJs, I've noticed a couple of things... 1. Batman's Robin debuted in Detective #38 (April, 1940), cover-billed as "The Sensational Character-Find of 1940...ROBIN -- the Boy Wonder." MLJ gave the Wizard a boy-buddy in Top-Notch #8 (September, 1940), with the cover blurb: "The Marvel of 1940 -- ROY...the Super-Boy!" Is this similar or what? 2. Some MLJ fans have speculated that the Wizard's sidekick was originally going to be called Tommy the Super-Boy and was changed at the last minute to Roy. This seems to come from house ads in other books for Shield-Wizard #2 that announced the appearance of Tommy the Super-Boy in the Wizard stories. However, a look at Shield-Wizard #2 indicates otherwise. The first two issues of Shield-Wizard didn't feature the modern Wizard, but his ancestors. In SW #1, we saw how the 18th Century Wizard practically won the Revolution for George Washington single-handedly with 18th Century equivalents of modernday devices like self-propelled wagons and flying machines (each with a detailed diagram showing how it worked). SW #2 had the Wizard of the War of 1812 -- and that's where Tommy came in, as that Wizard's kid companion. Apparently Roy was always Roy, at least as far as I know (and the name has the first two letters the same as Robin, if that means anything). With Shield-Wizard #3, there was an editorial note saying letters from the readers were demanding to see more of Roy, so the strip would shift to the modern Wizard, but historical stories about past Wizards would appear from time to time. (I'll have to check my SW collection more closely, but as far as I know, they never did.) I'm not sure how seriously to take the statement about reader demand for more Roy. My guess is that the Wizard had changed too much in his regular Top-Notch strip by then -- he was now a typical superhero in skin-tight pajamas, not the tuxedoed international man of mystery he had been in earlier issues, so the old-style Wizards no longer fit. Kind of a shame -- I would have liked to have seen the Wizard of the Civil War and the Wizard of World War I... Y'know, MLJ really tried with the Wizard to make him a distinctive character and strip, something different from the usual musclemen in circus costumes, but they could never make him a hit no matter how hard they pushed him. MIGHTY QUESTIONS I'm trying to track down some dates of the Fly Man issues that got me interested in all this, and I haven't rebuilt my Mighty Comics collection enough to do it myself. I think the first Fly Man I saw was #36... can anybody supply a cover date? And was it the issue that had that amazing two-part story where the Shield fought the Hangman in the first part, which led directly to the story where the Web came out of retirement? (I have the High Camp Super-Heroes paperback, which reprints all that, so I have the story -- I just need to verify the cover date and issue number.) Secondly, I can get start and end dates for the Mighty Crusaders in that period from Overstreet, but I'm a little puzzled about cover dates during the interim. As I remember things, Archie was basically publishing a monthly book at that point -- Fly Man and Mighty Crusaders were bimonthly, published on alternate months. But I get the idea the cover dates don't quite mesh so neatly (there may be issues where Fly Man and Mighty Crusaders have the same cover date). Of course, later the two titles were consolidated into one monthly book, continuing the Fly numbering. (You get the idea Archie never risked more than it had to on this venture...like the beancounters said, "Okay, we'll give you one book a month to test the market for cape and mask guys, but that's it!") Any thoughts?

I'm pretty sure it's the one that launched me into my lifelong obsession with the Mighty/MLJ heroes. Not so much for the Fly Man story (which is pretty mediocre, as I recall...Turan solves Fly Man's problem by reaching back into time and making it didn't happen), but for that completely unexpected turnabout in the Shield story that leads into the return of yet another superhero. If Mighty could have kept that level of innovation up and adjusted a few things here and there (better-written dialogue, maybe), they might have found their footing and really had something. I find it a little frustrating to talk to middle-aged fans today who remember the comics as terrible and with no redeeming features...when you actually look at the comics and find these little gems of innovation. It never came together the way it should, but the potential was there and one reason my 14-year-old self was aching and pushing for the comics to "get good" all through 1966 was because I could sense they were ALMOST there. It would have helped to have had stories that made sense, of course. That is, had logical plots that built to some kind of logical conclusion. instead of having the story problem solved by a character whipping out a piece of the rare element Quaxium (never heard of before or afterwards), which has the remarkable property of absorbing all evil emanations and turning ultra-villains into good guys. (That's not an actual Mighty Comics plot, but it's close to a couple.) ArchieCo obviously had a library of bound volumes of everything they ever published -- why didn't they just go into the back files and reuse some of the old MLJ scripts? You had tightly plotted stories in the six- to 13-page range, many of them basically mystery stories, written with beginnings, middles, and twist endings. They would have had to be adapted to eliminate things that were commonplace in the '40s but no-nos in the '60s (corpses with knives sticking out of their backs, for instance), as well as bring in line with the '60s versions of the characters, but otherwise the stories were structurally sound and better than a lot of what Mighty did publish. I'm thinking of the Black Hood, mainly, a character that was much more mystery-story than extravagant science fiction; writing short mystery stories has become something of a lost art, and rewriting the old MLJ stories for the Hood could have only improved things. But speaking of evil imitators...I'm still puzzling over the Hangman story in Pep #18 (1941), which I recently reread. It was the Hangman's second appearance, having had his origin the month before in #17. A villain called the Jackal is trying to discredit the Hangman by impersonating him and really hanging people (which as far as I know the real Hangman never did -- the provocative name and gallows imagery were all pure shtick for the purpose of scaring the bejeebers out of criminals). So the real Hangman has to expose the Jackal's scheme to clear his name. Now, a character's second appearance seems like it's a little soon to be doing the Evil Imitator plot -- he's hardly had enough time to establish himself that someone would want to discredit him. My guess is that the story was done explicitly and deliberately to establish from the start what the character would and would not do, and make it clear that despite the name the character was not a free-lance executioner. In the story, Bob Dickering tells Thelma (who confronts him with the news stories of the Hangman hanging people, thinking it's really him) that he's always on the side of the law. In my view, this story is absolutely essential for understanding the character and the editorial thinking that went into him. Unfortunately, it's probably unprintable today if ArchieCo wanted to do an MLJ reprint book -- racial stereotypes. The only witness who has seen the faux-Hangman up close and can identify him (as pure loony plot device, the Jackal has two thumbs on one hand and has made no attempt to cover the anomaly up when making a serious effort to pose as somebody else) is a black man named Anthracite. Now, Anthracite is a sympathetic character, and maybe there's some sociological lesson in the fact that even though he's potentially a key witness the police won't listen to him or take him seriously because he's black, but besides his outrageous name, he's portrayed as being somewhat simple-minded, he speaks in a comic black accent, and he's drawn as...well, almost a humanoid teddy bear. It's a more benign caricature of black people than a lot of what you see in '40s cartoons, kind of cute actually, but Anthracite doesn't even look human as a result. So much work would be necessary to retouch this story to bring it in line with modern standards (soArchieco would be willing to put its name on the book) that it wouldn't much resemble the original. Which is a shame, since this story is pretty important for the character. --Dwight Decker From "Paul Newell" Sat Sep 4 16:40:27 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 31234 invoked from network); 4 Sep 1999 23:43:17 -0000 Received: from m4.c2.telstra-mm.net.au (24.192.3.19) by qh.egroups.com with SMTP; 4 Sep 1999 23:43:17 -0000 Received: from m5.c2.telstra-mm.net.au (m5.c2.telstra-mm.net.au [24.192.3.20]) by m4.c2.telstra-mm.net.au (8.8.6 (PHNE_14041)/8.8.6) with ESMTP id JAA06639 for ; Sun, 5 Sep 1999 09:43:15 +1000 (EST) X-BPC-Relay-Envelope-From: ddashboa@nsw.bigpond.net.au X-BPC-Relay-Envelope-To: X-BPC-Relay-Sender-Host: m5.c2.telstra-mm.net.au [24.192.3.20] X-BPC-Relay-Info: Message delivered directly.

I'm a fan of those 'mystery men' characters of old-time radio, and these are three shows which I've known existed, but have never had the opportunity to hear. I'd be curious as to what changes were made in the characters for their appearance in another medium. Interesting that those three are possibly the only semi-obscure characters to have made it as multi-media heroes (Blue Beetle appearing in a comic strip and radio show, as well as comic books, Green Lama appearing in pulps and on radio, in addition to comic books [didn't he begin in the pulps?], and of course Black Hood who went the opposite of the usual route, appearing in comic books first, and THEN making the move to pulps (as well as radio). And apparently there were TWO different Doc Savage radio shows, one based on the pulp version, and a later version based on the very different Doc Savage interpretation in the Street & Smith comic books.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Ok folks, here is the list of stuff I have that I am willing and able to part with. Adventures of the Fly #30---Fly-girl meets the Comet Fly-Man #32---Featuring Comet, Black Hood, and the Shield Fly-Man #35---Featuring Black Hood and the Shield Fly-Man #36---Featuring the Hangman Vs. The Shield Fly-Man #37---Featuring The Shield Fly-Man #38---Fly-Man/Web team-up Mighty Comics Presents #43---The Web and The Shield Mighty Comics Presents #47---Black Hood and Mr. Justice Mighty comics Presents #49---Steel Sterling and the Fox Mighty Comics Presents #50 (already called by Paris, sorry) The Mighty Crusaders #1---Origin of the "new" shield The Mighty Crusaders #6---A typical 60's Crusaders storyline Well, that'd be the list of my 60's Mighty stuff. I have the complete Red Circle/Archie Adventure series, but I'm not ready to give all those up yet. Here's the way I'd prefer that this works. (1)Everyone gets a chance at these books (2)No one person will get the entire lot of books, so (3)If you have any preferences as to which books you want, email me at Cobb78@hotmail.com I think if everyone that has shown interest would pick three, four, or five specific books, then everything should work out just fine. Please also note: These books were bought by me for the purpose of reading and enjoying. Anyone out there who would want any of these for monetary value needs to not respond. Sorry for being blunt, but I'd rather get no compensation and know the person enjoys reading it then getting however much just for the value of the book. And besides, these books are in the kind of shape that comic dealers dread. Most of them are suitable for reading purposes only. But remember this: THEY'RE FREE!!! Anyway, I ramble too much, Brad Cobb ______________________________________________________ From Mark Luebker & Kathleen Fairfax Sun Oct 3 14:58:23 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Received: (listserv 1.262); by a1; 03 Oct 1999 22:01:28 -0000 Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 24764 invoked from network); 3 Oct 1999 22:01:27 -0000 Received: from ha1.rdc1.il.home.com (HELO mail.rdc1.il.home.com) (24.2.1.66) by qg.egroups.com with SMTP; 3 Oct 1999 22:01:27 -0000 Received: from home.com ([24.9.199.7]) by mail.rdc1.il.home.com (InterMail v4.01.01.00 201-229-111) with ESMTP id <19991003220126.JXRU9949.mail.rdc1.il.home.com@home.com> for ; Sun, 3 Oct 1999 15:01:26 -0700 Message-ID: <37F7D361.9063AE66@home.com> Date: Sun, 03 Oct 1999 17:06:26 -0500 From: Mark Luebker & Kathleen Fairfax Organization: Studio 1050 X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en]C-AtHome0407 (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: mightycomics@egroups.com References: <19991003195849.56133.qmail@hotmail.com> Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Free Mighty Stuff---LIST!!!

It had cameos by Steel Sterling, The Shield, The Comet, and Black Jack in a story set in a comic shop where the characters in the comics come to life (including Sonic and Knuckles).

(This will probably be the toughest to find for anyone looking for them now.) ______________________________________________________ From Positronic@aol.com Sat Oct 16 05:29:42 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Received: (listserv 1.262); by a1; 16 Oct 1999 12:32:55 -0000 Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 22843 invoked from network); 16 Oct 1999 12:32:52 -0000 Received: from imo-d01.mx.aol.com (205.188.157.33) by qh.egroups.com with SMTP; 16 Oct 1999 12:32:52 -0000 Received: from Positronic@aol.com by imo-d01.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v23.6.) id aDUPvKSqB_ (4443) for ; Sat, 16 Oct 1999 08:32:49 -0400 (EDT) From: Positronic@aol.com Message-ID: <0.d039df06.2539ca70@aol.com> Date: Sat, 16 Oct 1999 08:32:48 EDT To: mightycomics@egroups.com MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 246 Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Hello!

As I recall, these were bagged with various annuals over a period of a couple of months, right? I think some of them were stapled-in inserts too. When you assemble the cards right in a couple of those plastic card pages, you get a "puzzle back" scene. One anomaly there: the two 9-card scenes were supposed to have red or blue 'color-coded' borders on the fronts so you could tell which pieces went with which scene. Somebody goofed and mixed up the colors on the two SHIELD cards. Actually, I'm surprised they never made a "real" (licensed) card set around that time, since it seems like everybody and his brother was starting a new "superhero universe" around that time, most of which, it seems, were being made into card sets.

I would agree with this, especially the Roy Thomas part. As I understand it, Roy was certainly working for National but Mort treated him so harshly (even bringing Roy to tears supposedly) that Roy was probably very happy to bolt over to the hallowed halls of Marvel. I also vaguely recall some story about how Mort used to call up Jim Shooter in the middle of the night just to tell him how crappy a certain story Jim had written was. Still, Mort seems to have a strong vision for Superman and for the way the mythos should play out. Mort may have been harsh on his employees but he seemed to get the results for Superman that he was looking for. > >DC had alot of good talent.

I just don't think you can replace an Edmond Hamilton with a Denny O'Neil. I do think the younger writers of today like James Robinson are doing a better job then that group that immediately replaced Hamilton, Fox etc. And what in the world happened to Julie Schwartz?

Here is the story as reported in AH #41: Wayne: You mean I'm not working for you anymore? Mort: You're fired! Wayne: Fired? What do you mean? All you've got to do is stop sending me scripts! Mort: Do you need a kick in the stomach to know when you're not wanted?! Now this makes Mort sound pretty harsh, but the article goes on to say: "Weisinger said he'd call Stan Lee and try to find something for Boring at Marvel" So it would seem that Mort wasn't completely heartless after all.

Anyone else received anything? Maybe Archie have been aware of the interest out here and are at last going to relaunch the MLJ characters. Let's hope AWM #3 isn't just a one-off. Stan Hello, Stan. I'm Paul Castiglia, the writer for the "Archie's Weird Mysteries" comic book. I thought this press release and the attached JPG file would be of interest to you. Enjoy! IT'S A MIGHTY CRUSADERS MILLENNIUM WHEN THE HEROES ROCK RIVERDALE IN "ARCHIE'S WEIRD MYSTERIES #3!" When MLJ Comics, the publisher who would later evolve into Archie Comics, first entered the comics market in 1939, they were following the lead of just about every other pioneering comic publisher. With the introduction of Superman in "Action Comics #1" two years earlier, the order of the day was super-heroes and masked avengers. MLJ followed suit, creating their own batch of heroes to fight the good fight. There were many in those early days, including such notable creations as The Shield-- the first ever patriotic super-hero; the two-fisted Black Hood; The Web, master criminologist; The Comet, the cosmic crusader created by legendary writer/artist Jack Cole; and many more. While these heroes flourished in the 1940s, by the 1950s they were overshadowed by another MLJ star: Archie himself! The publishers didn't abandon the heroes altogether, though. In the late 1950s, they employed the legendary Simon and Kirby team to launch The Fly and Private Strong, an updating of the classic Shield character. The Jaguar joined the roster in the early 1960s. Then, little by little, the other heroes from MLJ's golden age starting popping up in guest appearances. The combination of the popularity of these appearances as well as the success of DC's Justice League and Marvel's Avengers comics lead Archie Comics to start a super-team of their own. They flourished until the late 1960s, only to return again in the 1980s and then be revived again for Archie's official website. Now, after a guest-appearance in this year's Archie/Diamond Distributor's Halloween giveaway comic, the Crusaders are back in an all-new story-- in what has to be their strangest adventure yet! This story is sure to please both Archie and Mighty Crusaders fans. What better way to kick off the decade than with the re-introduction of these classic heroes? ARCHIE' WEIRD MYSTERIES #3, APR. cover date, ships 1/28. 32-page, full color comic, $1.99 US; $2.19 CANADA. BY POPULAR DEMAND: THE SENSES-SHATTERING RETURN OF THE MIGHTY CRUSADERS! "A Mighty Weird Crusade": In what may be the weirdest Archie mystery yet, The Mighty Crusaders and their arch enemies, lead by the evil Brain Emperor, find themselves zapped into good ol' Riverdale! Not weird enough, you say? The Brain Emperor's body just can't withstand the strange vibes in Riverdale's atmosphere. He needs to control the action from the sidelines-- he needs someone with a big, strong body and weak mind to do his bidding. Did someone say Moose?! Now, Archie and his friends must help the Crusaders keep these vile villains from taking over the world-- and NOT destroy Moose's body in the process! Things don't look good for our heroes, leading to the strangest conclusion in Archie comics history! SCRIPT: Paul Castiglia. ART: Fernando Ruiz.

I am Paul Castiglia, writer of the "Archie's Weird Mysteries" comic book. As you know by now, the Mighty Crusaders will be featured in issue #3. But did you know that they are also appear in a 16-page mini-comic currently available? The comic is being given away for free by most comic shops. Since we work in advance on the issues, there's usually some downtime before we can print feedback on the letters page. Through the magic of email, however, we can print letters much sooner. Now, I need your help. I need all of you to hunt down copies of the mini-comic and email me your thoughts as soon as possible. Please review the issue. While the temptation will be there to focus on the Crusaders, please try to review the story as a whole, remembering that its primary function is as a "teaser" and therefore would not have the depth of a full-length story. Please email me your reviews. Also, I'd love to hear from little kids, so if you know any literate kids who can compose an email letter, please lend them the comic and have them email their thoughts, too. Like I said, it's being given away for free at most comic shops, although they have the option of charging a $1.00 (its suggested value). To find the comic shop nearest you, you can call the Comic Shop Locator Service. Their toll free phone number is 1-888-266-4226. Thanks in advance to all of you for your assistance!

Other than that, the only redesign was to make Black Jack's mask more bandana like (like the 1970s Spider-Man villain, the Tarantula) as well as fringe on the gloves and a more sash-like belt. But as far as I know, those were the only changes. Archie Comics is not looking to get back into the superhero business at this time, but you never know-- if the demand is ever there again, or if an animation studio expresses interest, it could possibly happen. My gut feeling is that this appearance in issue #3 will be the Crusaders' only appearance for quite some time. Which is better than nothing... Hope you enjoy the issue (and if you haven't seen the free mini-comic yet, they're in there as well-- available now at most comic shops)...

Anyone else received anything? Maybe Archie have been aware of the interest out here and are at last going to relaunch the MLJ characters. Let's hope AWM #3 isn't just a one-off. Stan Hello, Stan. I'm Paul Castiglia, the writer for the "Archie's Weird Mysteries" comic book. I thought this press release and the attached JPG file would be of interest to you. Enjoy! IT'S A MIGHTY CRUSADERS MILLENNIUM WHEN THE HEROES ROCK RIVERDALE IN "ARCHIE'S WEIRD MYSTERIES #3!" When MLJ Comics, the publisher who would later evolve into Archie Comics, first entered the comics market in 1939, they were following the lead of just about every other pioneering comic publisher. With the introduction of Superman in "Action Comics #1" two years earlier, the order of the day was super-heroes and masked avengers. MLJ followed suit, creating their own batch of heroes to fight the good fight. There were many in those early days, including such notable creations as The Shield-- the first ever patriotic super-hero; the two-fisted Black Hood; The Web, master criminologist; The Comet, the cosmic crusader created by legendary writer/artist Jack Cole; and many more. While these heroes flourished in the 1940s, by the 1950s they were overshadowed by another MLJ star: Archie himself! The publishers didn't abandon the heroes altogether, though. In the late 1950s, they employed the legendary Simon and Kirby team to launch The Fly and Private Strong, an updating of the classic Shield character. The Jaguar joined the roster in the early 1960s. Then, little by little, the other heroes from MLJ's golden age starting popping up in guest appearances. The combination of the popularity of these appearances as well as the success of DC's Justice League and Marvel's Avengers comics lead Archie Comics to start a super-team of their own. They flourished until the late 1960s, only to return again in the 1980s and then be revived again for Archie's official website. Now, after a guest-appearance in this year's Archie/Diamond Distributor's Halloween giveaway comic, the Crusaders are back in an all-new story-- in what has to be their strangest adventure yet! This story is sure to please both Archie and Mighty Crusaders fans. What better way to kick off the decade than with the re-introduction of these classic heroes? ARCHIE' WEIRD MYSTERIES #3, APR. cover date, ships 1/28. 32-page, full color comic, $1.99 US; $2.19 CANADA. BY POPULAR DEMAND: THE SENSES-SHATTERING RETURN OF THE MIGHTY CRUSADERS! "A Mighty Weird Crusade": In what may be the weirdest Archie mystery yet, The Mighty Crusaders and their arch enemies, lead by the evil Brain Emperor, find themselves zapped into good ol' Riverdale! Not weird enough, you say? The Brain Emperor's body just can't withstand the strange vibes in Riverdale's atmosphere. He needs to control the action from the sidelines-- he needs someone with a big, strong body and weak mind to do his bidding. Did someone say Moose?! Now, Archie and his friends must help the Crusaders keep these vile villains from taking over the world-- and NOT destroy Moose's body in the process! Things don't look good for our heroes, leading to the strangest conclusion in Archie comics history! SCRIPT: Paul Castiglia.

I think everybody here knows that Comics Is A Business and in the end the company has to consider the bottom line despite whatever the die-hards might want, but it's nice to be asked just the same. Oddly, though, my first reaction to the mini-comic had nothing to do with the super-dupers. I was downright weirded-out by what's been done to Sabrina! "My God, Sabrina! You're drawn...CARTOONY!" But as far as the Crusaders...I guess I can't get used to the Jack Cole version of the Comet being upright and warmer than room temperature. I've read Pep #17, I know what happened to him. And what did happen to him is so important to the creation of the Hangman, one of MLJ's superstars, and the whole major-character-dies-and-is-replaced-by-another-hero scenario was such an innovative concept in its time that it's part of what MLJ is remembered for...well, I'd be inclined to say that I'd rather leave the '40s Comet in his coffin as a fondly remembered part of the Backstory and Legend. If you had to have a Comet at all to keep the name active, I'd rather have the Comet in a funny helmet and consider him a Silver Age revamp in much the same style as what was done with Green Lantern and the Flash (even though the '60s Comet was supposed to have been the same guy as the '40s Comet -- he didn't die, he just spent 20 years on the planet Altrox). --Dwight Decker benny7dude@aol.com wrote: > Greetings, all.

Actually, I think Archie had problems with publishing a character called The Hangman 30-odd years ago. That is, my guess is that the Hangman was made a villain (at first) in the Mighty Comics revival because the Powers That Were cringed at the name. A little too drastic for comics published by Archie in the '60s, perhaps? (Though it was an interesting nod to continuity that he was considered to be the same character as the '40s Hangman but now gone renegade, rather than an entirely new character.) Of course, the Hangman of the '40s never actually hanged anybody (I don't think...). The provocative name and gallows imagery were pure shtick, symbolizing the fate that awaited criminals, but he wasn't really a free-lance executioner who went around hanging people. The Hangman's second story in Pep #18 seems to have been written just to make the point that despite the name he was not a killer but on the side of the law. If there was ever the ghost of a possibility that a collection of Hangman stories might be published, I'd suggest that the story in Pep #18 be included as absolutely essential to understanding the character (it may even hint that there were qualms about the name back in 1941!) -- except a major character in it is such a racial stereotype that it would be just about unpublishable today. If somebody wants to assemble the Ultimate MLJ Trivia Quiz, it might have this question on it: "While the Hangman never hanged anybody, what MLJ hero actually did hang a villain at the end of a story as an act of deliberate, premeditated, cold-blooded execution?" Answer: Captain Flag! All this brings up a larger problem for hypothetical reprints. Stories in the Golden Age were wild and woolly even by modern standards. That is, over the top in violence, bloodshed, and grotesquerie, not to mention racial stereotypes. Corpses with knives sticking out of the back were not uncommon sights, and then there's that story in Hangman #3 where a Japanese axeman is chopping off heads wholesale... Superheroes were still considered detectives with gimmicks in those days, not a branch of science fiction, and stories were written like lurid pulp murder mysteries. Unless Archie can figure out a way to distance itself somehow from stories it certainly wouldn't want to publish as new now, management may well feel it's better to leave the whole period alone and not try to open the can of worms that reprinting Golden Age stories would entail. We fans might accept the stories as historical reprints that represent their long-past era and do not reflect the current standards of the presentday Archie company, but would newspaper-article writers or parents?

A lot of stories might seem that way (and unfortunately that includes some of the key ones, like the second Hangman story I've mentioned where the limits of the character were defined), but certainly not all. The stories would have to be judged on a case by case basis, but a good-sized anthology could probably be assembled from stories that didn't get too extreme. The problem would be ArchieCo's desire to produce such an anthology at all, and Mr. Castiglia's remarks don't seem to allow for much optimism in that direction. Somebody was speaking of "Golden Age Mighty Crusaders" stories. Everybody knows what's meant, I think -- the fellow was using "Mighty Crusaders" as a handy general name for the superheroes owned and operated by Archie Comics. But strictly speaking, the Mighty Crusaders name was a '60s innovation. The '40s characters never teamed up as a group and had no collective name (other than "MLJ heroes," I guess). There were a (very) few crossovers, as when the Shield and the Wizard appeared in each other's strips in early Pep and Top-Notch issues. Their boy partners Dusty and Roy regularly teamed up in the back pages of Hangman, and in an issue of Shield-Wizard, Dusty has a birthday party attended by Steel Sterling and the Black Hood (but also by Sgt. Boyle and Pokey Oakey -- that last a funny-type character apparently inspired by Li'l Abner, which casts some serious doubt on the canonical-ness of the whole story) -- but no major hero team-ups like National's Justice Society or Timely's All-Winners Squad. Alas, MLJ never had a Mighty Legion of Justice, darn it...let alone a Mighty Crusaders. That doesn't mean we can't call them all Mighty Crusaders retroactively, just to call them _something_, I suppose. What do you guys think? Say, Paul, if you really want to raise eyebrows in the front office, how about pitching a revival of Rang-a-Tang the Wonder Dog? It was the company's first significant character, after all, and surely deserves better than oblivion after close to 60 years. There should be a place in today's market for a heartwarming boy and his dog strip. (Actually, it was a detective and his dog strip when it started out. Richy the Amazing Boy was added later.) I use the word "should" in the sense of "if there was any justice in the world, but there probably isn't," not in the sense of "there probably is a place in today's market." No, I'm not _quite_ serious, but I'd certainly like to see ArchieCo try! --Dwight Decker From "Kris Brownlow" Mon Oct 25 21:20:02 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Received: (listserv 1.272); by a1; 26 Oct 1999 04:23:20 -0000 Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 19582 invoked from network); 26 Oct 1999 04:22:33 -0000 Received: from f310.hotmail.com (HELO hotmail.com) (207.82.251.223) by qh.egroups.com with SMTP; 26 Oct 1999 04:22:33 -0000 Received: (qmail 7988 invoked by uid 0); 26 Oct 1999 04:22:33 -0000 Message-ID: <19991026042233.7987.qmail@hotmail.com> Received: from 209.240.200.106 by www.hotmail.com with HTTP; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 21:22:33 PDT X-Originating-IP: [209.240.200.106] From: "Kris Brownlow" To: mightycomics@egroups.com Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 21:22:33 PDT Mime-Version: 1.0 Subject: [mightycomics] I will buy the Mighty Heroes!

What do you guys think? >> Actually, if the characters ever WERE to be revived, I'd love to see a "continuity implant" (ala Roy Thomas' INVADERS) that established that there was indeed a "Mighty Legion of Justice" during the '40s. I'd imagine that Steel Sterling (the original) would still be around and as young-looking as ever, and of course, Mr. Justice, being dead, wouldn't have aged. The Black Hood would probably be a descendant or relative of the original (as already established in earlier stories), The Comet's life preserved and extended by Altroxian science; who knows about The Web or The Hangman or The Fox or The Shield, but it would be nice to see them account for and preserve as much of the earlier continuity as possible. There could certainly be younger heroes who took over some of the traditional roles. I would imagine Steel Sterling (super-hero numero uno)would be just about the most famous man in the world, own a line of health spas, endorse health foods and the President's Council on Physical Fitness, and be richer than God from all the endorsements, movies, TV shows and action figures -- probably he's set up a whole series of charities (like the Wayne Foundation) to spread the wealth. But he would be the most famous, public hero, having been around since the 40s. Dang hard to kill, although it wouldn't stop villians from trying. Has his own headquarters and responds to letters for help from people, like Doc Savage used to. He probably has a support team to run what used to be a simple detective agency, but is now more like the FF's setup or Doc Savage's. Probably has all the money to buy all the tech gizmos he needs and fund the Mighty Crusaders as well, with The Comet supplying the high-tech science stuff. Just rambling with some ideas...

It's the kind of thing that easily takes years to do, which is why you've been hearing about it off and on for months without any closure. Meanwhile, I've been merrily compiling data, reading MLJs, interviewing Irv Novick, running a draft copy past Paris Bauer, starting to think about posting a draft here for the assembled multitude to admire (or throw stuff at)... Today I got a note from Bill Schelly, who is more or less the managing editor for Roy, clarifying what he wants. Not my ultra-bibliographic survey of heroes and titles, but something more personal. Something like, NOSTALGIA ONCE REMOVED: A COLLECTOR'S ODYSSEY, not so much about MLJ per se but a more personal account telling of my adventures in collecting the things. My first thought was "Who the frantz CARES about Dwight Decker's precious little thoughts and feelings?!" but Bill likes the more personal, informal style I use in my fan writing. Besides, everything you need to know about MLJ from the standpoint of bibliographic data has long been collected and is available in Overstreet (just don't believe the listing for Hangman #8 that claims it has a Super Duck story), so maybe the personal account of somebody who actually tried to assemble a collection of crumbling 60-year-old pamphlets really is the newsworthy part of all this. Anyway...the article is still on the schedule, but it's going to be a little different than originally conceived. I think I know just the photo to run with it... Somebody took a photo of me standing with Irv Novick at last summer's San Diego Con.

I'm a comics fan just like the rest of you. But I also had the opportunity to work on staff at Archie for 9 years in several capacities, including a stint as their Manager Of Direct Sales. So I come at this from a different perspective. The reality is sad, and the fan in me would like to be as optimistic as you, but knowing the truth, I completely understand Archie's thought processes. Archie's main source of sales is kids buying comics through newsstand distribution, not comic shops. It has always been that way. DC gets most of its sales from adults in comic shops. But there are some crucial differences: DC can put out reprints on the newsstand and kids will still recognize those heroes because they've seen them on TV, so they'll get sales both on the newsstand and in comic shops for their reprint titles. NO kids who see "The Mighty Crusaders" on the newsstand will know who the characters are-- it is highly unlikely-- and if they're faced with a rack that features all sorts of comics with characters they KNOW from TV (not just DC and Marvel, but say "Pokemon" from Viz), they'll bypass the Crusaders. As far as the comic shops go, that's where the adults would come in: everyone on this list, some classic comic aficianados and a few other diehards will buy the Crusaders reprints. Those who remember the Impact line will sneer, and sadly, there will still be a large percentage of customers who don't even know who the characters are. With the type of print-runs Archie has to abide by, I'm afraid it would be a disaster. But if you want to look on the bright side, Archie currently has a lot of TV and movie activity surrounding their Archie and Sabrina properties. Conventional wisdom says they'll strike a deal for Josie & The Pussycats next. After that, what's left? I mean, Archie owns a lot of properties, but which ones would movie/cartoon producers be most interested in? I'd say the next two on the list are Katy Keene and The Mighty Crusaders. Naturally, support in another media would jostle Archie to do more. The other thing that might help would be if "Archie's Weird Mysteries #3" does real well-- and I don't mean in comic shops. I mean if Archie sees a big spike in the newsstand sales, that could possibly make them stand up and take notice. That's the reality of this, as opposed to conjecture. So if you want to create Crusaders converts, I guess the time is now-- get them jazzed up for "Weird Mysteries #3" and tell them to buy it off the newsstand. I wish I could just join your chorus, but I'm cursed by my prior experience and knowledge-- I already know what the crystal ball says. Just so you don't think I'm a fatalist and don't care, last year, one of the top names in comics and I worked up a proposal to relaunch these characters in the animated Batman style.

As I said before, I think all of us here understand that ArchieCo has to consider business realities when making decisions. But hey, the appearance of the Mighty Crusaders in Archie's Weird Mysteries is one more appearance than they've had in a while, so it gives us something to chew on. I certainly appreciate your taking the time to give us the inside dope and consider our thoughts and opinions! Speaking of thoughts, here are a couple-- 1. If ArchieCo is looking through the drawers for properties to pitch to Hollywood cartoon companies, they might run across Cosmo the Merry Martian sooner or later! (But with our luck, the big animatedArchieCo hit of the early 2000s will be Li'l Jinx...) 2. At least with an animated Sabrina, you don't have to worry about the star suddenly posing in her birthday suit for a men's magazine. --Dwight Decker Benny7dude@aol.com wrote: > I'm in an unusual position.

I'd say if ArchieCo. wants to preserve the value of these characters, they'd better get agressive about developing an animation property/action figure line around their adventure characters. Take a look at what Mike Richardson of Dark Horse has been able to do -- The Mask, Barb Wire, TimeCop, Mystery Men, and the animated Big Guy & Rusty.

Both are fine writers, but perhaps their versions of the characters would have been "grim and gritty" as you suggest. I suspect that Marv Wolfman, at least, must be a fan of these characters; after all, he did introduce a villain called "The Hangman" when he was writing _Werewolf by Night_, and later a super-hero called "The Comet" as a supporting character in _Nova_.

In point of fact, I do believe the Mighty characters aren't well-suited to that format. Animation is where they belong, where they can continue to represent ArchieCo. as a "kid friendly" company. My point, I think, is that Richardson strikes me as a kind of go-getter, a dealmaker, a guy who knows how to "sell" an idea. And when you consider the reams of crap that *do* get on TV on Saturday morning ("Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century"?), Archie's superheroes would seem to be a lot less creatively bankrupt by comparison. Perhaps all Archie *really* needs is a good agent? Or they could simply wait until someone comes knocking saying "we'd like to license your characters..." Hey, I know it's not easy. But I guess nothing ever really is.

Awhile back, I bought a 20" x 15" photographic copy of Tom Morehouse's incredible "Kirby Captain American Golden Anniversary" collage. It's an amazing collection of about a million Kirby CAP images bursting into action. I've put it up on my site for all to view, but be aware, it is a 2+ MB sized file (I tried to make it smaller, but too do so would've done the piece an injustice) -- I recommend you save it to disk and view it with your graphics viewer (down- loading it may take 5-15 minutes depending on your modem speed). Hats off to Simon/Kirby for having created such an in- credible, long-lasting character, and hats off to Tom for putting together such a lovely tribute to the artist and the superhero. BTW, Tom's promised to give me his entire Kirby collection -- which I understand contains more than a coupla items -- if anyone can pinpoint ALL of the sources he used (What, you don't remember saying that, Tom? ;-D ) Soooooo....let's get going, people!!!

There was an Archie writer posting here in just the last week or two explaining that Archie has no plans to do anything serious with the characters at present (other than for the Archie's Weird Mystery one-shot appearance). That could change if some animation studio expressed interest in using the characters, say, but for the present, nothing is in the offing. Otherwise, the market is fairly awful for publishing colorful pamphlets about superheroes if you aren't Marvel or DC, and Archie isn't inclined to make the huge investment that would be necessary to carve out a niche for a new line of hero books. What Archie is apparently doing with its website (this is me talking, not the Archie writer) is keeping the characters just alive enough to maintain its rights and exposed enough to snag the attention of any Hollywood media types that might come along with money to spend on licensing superhero characters. --Dwight Decker From RJCroxton@aol.com Tue Nov 9 04:55:43 1999 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/mightycomics/ Received: (listserv 1.276); by a1; 09 Nov 1999 12:59:08 -0000 Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 3409 invoked from network); 9 Nov 1999 12:59:06 -0000 Received: from imo-d05.mx.aol.com (205.188.157.37) by qh.egroups.com with SMTP; 9 Nov 1999 12:59:06 -0000 Received: from RJCroxton@aol.com by imo-d05.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v23.6.) id aLXZ04Tain (3845) for ; Tue, 9 Nov 1999 07:59:02 -0500 (EST) From: RJCroxton@aol.com Message-ID: <0.bdb763c9.25597495@aol.com> Date: Tue, 9 Nov 1999 07:59:01 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Windows AOL sub 41 Subject: [mightycomics] MLJ FanFiction Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Coming November 17 The Web to TALES OF...TO BE CONTINUED!

While everybody would love to see new stories about the characters, wasn't the general feeling that it might make ArchieCo mad, so we probably shouldn't do it? Or was it more that MLJ fan fiction wouldn't be posted to this list for that reason, but what individuals did on their own on their own websites was entirely up to them?

What other people do on their own websites is, of course, their own business and beyond my control. When I started this discussion list, I contacted ArchieCo and made them aware of Mighty-L.

I have been working on it off and on for the past twenty years. After all this time, I figured it was time to finally publish the darned thing. More or less, it is about the history of fandom. Much of it pertains to my experience as Administrator of the old WSA Program from 1975-78. The book features a cover by former Charlton artist, Pete Morisi and an introduction by noted pulp magazine scholar, Robert Sampson. It is 212 pages and includes about 40 pages of previously unpublished art, vintage fanzine covers, and photographs from fandom's Golden Age. If you have a minute, I would appreciate your checking out my website at: http://members. aol.com/midguard20/Midguardindex.html It contains more information about the book and the cover art by Morisi. You will also find reviews by Jerry Bails, Greg Theakston, Chester Cox, and Gene Reed. Incidentally, the book is NOW at the printer and should be ready for mailing about Feb. 15th.

The anthologies ran a wide variety of features in different genres, including westerns, science fiction, contemporary adventure, and sheer fantasy. Some of the strips have ambiguous titles that sound like superhero names when they turn up in Overstreet listings, which has raised the hopes of some fans hoping for even more obscure costume heroes lurking forgotten in the crumbling back pages. In the Don't Get Your Hopes Up Department, here are some of the foolers: Captain Valor (Zip). Contemporary adventure starring an ex-Marine. Doc Strong (Blue Ribbon). Science fiction set in the future. The Green Falcon (Blue Ribbon). Historical adventure -- oh heck, let's be honest. It's Robin Hood by another name, probably inspired by the 1939 Errol Flynn Robin Hood movie. Hercules (Blue Ribbon). This character really was the son of Zeus from the myths, who came to Earth to check out the present (well, 1940). He had super-strength and fought gangsters, but he was not a costume hero in the strict sense. Madame Satan (Pep). No relation to Mr. Satan, who was a textbook super-hero, but a rather grim strip about a woman who becomes the Devil's collection agent. While MLJ could have used some costumed superheroines, she wasn't one. This was the strip that Archie replaced. The Silver Fox (Blue Ribbon). This strip appeared in #2 and #3 and starred an old detective telling stories of past cases. Slightly confusing is the fact that the Fox, an actual costume hero, started in #4, but there is no connection. Streak Chandler (Top-Notch). Science fiction. Sure sounds like Flash Gordon, doesn't it? Not only sounds like but pretty much is. The guys who do "The Good Guys and Gals of the Golden Age" website (http://goldenage.cjb.net), frequently announced here, have a "Super-Hero Obscurity Scale," where they rate Golden Age costume heroes by their relative obscurity. It starts at 0 for never-published characters, continues through unnamed generic heroes who only appeared on covers (they don't mention the super-heroes who appeared as one-shot Archie cover gags in the '60s, but surely they'd count here) as 1, and on through one-shot and short-lived heros to the Big Guns like Superman and Batman at 9. I wonder if characters who had names that made them sound like they were super-heroes but they really weren't would count on this list...say as -1? As a matter of fact, though, there really are some minor MLJ heroes lying forgotten in the files. While "Too Many Super-Heroes" brought back most of the MLJ costumed-hero crew, it still overlooked a few perhaps deemed unsalvageable. Here's a list of some really-truly, no foolin' costume heroes-- The Red Rube The Scarlet Avenger Mr. Satan The Press Guardian Captain Commando You have to wonder what they were thinking when they came up with Mr. Satan, a short-lived hero in the early issues of Zip. He really was a hero, but he fought crime in a devil's costume not unlike that of Marvel's Daredevil. This is a hero? The only way I can explain it is that it was late 1939 or so and the guys at MLJ still didn't really have this "Mystery Men" thing quite down yet. Bob Phantom is another very early effort that looks like he wasn't too carefully thought through (though he lasted a relatively long time despite that name). The Red Rube was a blatant and bad Captain Marvel imitation, and perhaps suffered from being a very late effort, after MLJ had passed its peak and was transforming from Heroic to Funny. Captain Commando was pure World War II battle adventure, with a hero and a gang of kids fighting Nazis and such. The Scarlet Avenger seemed to be heavily based on the pulp hero, the Avenger, and I haven't read enough of the Press Guardian to really get a handle on it. --Dwight Decker From pamric@webtv.net (Richard Boucher) Thu Jan 27 17:52:15 2000 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (listserv $); by f7; 28 Jan 2000 01:56:17 -0000 Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 17683 invoked from network); 28 Jan 2000 01:56:04 -0000 Received: from mailsorter-105-2.iap.bryant.webtv.net (209.240.198.118) by qh.egroups.com with SMTP; 28 Jan 2000 01:56:04 -0000 Received: from storefull-294.iap.bryant.webtv.net (storefull-294.iap.bryant.webtv.net [209.240.198.24]) by mailsorter-105-2.iap.bryant.webtv.net (WebTV_Postfix) with ESMTP id D868F2D1EC for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 17:56:03 -0800 (PST) Received: (from production@localhost) by storefull-294.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.8-wtv-e/mt.gso.26Feb98) id RAA26280; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 17:56:03 -0800 (PST) X-WebTV-Signature: 1 ETAuAhUAuyDxzqDrcNB0qGfQ3GxsiNkUo98CFQCvRp2BF7vc7AOhcoQ1I3TpZ+gQNw== From: pamric@webtv.net (Richard Boucher) Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 17:56:03 -0800 (PST) To: mightycomics@egroups.com Message-ID: <16889-3890F733-2135@storefull-294.iap.bryant.webtv.net> In-Reply-To: Dwight Decker 's message of Thu, 27 Jan 2000 09:28:58 -0700 Content-Disposition: Inline Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Precedence: bulk List-Help: , List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Subject: [mightycomics] Re: MLJ Mistaken Secret Identities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit You forgot the one shot character,the Falcon aka Flash Clavert,from Pep #1 who is often overlooked and sometimes confused as the Press Guardian,who was Perry Chase,since the strip started out being called The Press Guardian.Captain Valor is borderline and debatable as is Nevada Jones who had adventures both in the old west and the modern day west is questionable too.You have everything else right though, including the "cover only heroes" bit,if we went past 1960.However people like Doc Strong and his type,who sounded like super heroes don't count and we do give a wide berth when it coes to do-gooders!

He was basically a soldier of fortune who didn't wear a costume or have powers. Nevada Jones is a masked hero, so I'd count him, but I wouldn't argue the point. Actually I thought the most debatable "hero" on Dwight's list was Hercules. He wore a costume of sorts, had special powers, and he fought a masked villainess.

(This list had been a bit quiet lately...) A lot of this depends on what your definition of a super-hero is, and opinions will differ when you get out to the fuzzy cases. I remember arguing with a science-fiction fan who had referred in print to Conan and Tarzan as super-heroes. To him, ANY larger-than-life hero was a SUPER-hero. My viewpoint was that the word "super-hero" had come to mean a pretty specific genre which had mostly evolved in comic books, with standard motifs like the costume, the secret identity, and the super-powers. Not all super-heroes had all those elements (like Batman had the costume and the secret identity, but not the powers), and there were all kinds of variations, but to me they pretty clearly came out of a common tradition that Conan and Tarzan did not. If you traced it back far enough...I remember seeing a 1920 Zorro movie and realizing all the elements were there (well, maybe not the super-powers): the masked hero, the secret identity, even a secret hideaway like the Batcave. To make this brief, I think there's a main body of characters, mostly in comic books, that everybody can agree are super-heroes because they share enough of the same elements and come out of the same tradition. There are also borderline cases where opinions will differ. I don't feel so strongly that I'm going to argue about it...but I tend to think a masked Western hero is getting well out of the main body of super-heroes. The masked cowboy has a tradition of his own (the Lone Ranger, Ghost Rider, maybe Zorro though he's set in a time period that predates the classic Wild West), but I'm still kind of iffy here. I guess the main thing is what the stories were like. Is Nevada Jones a cowboy in a mask or a superhero in a Stetson? I'm also iffy on mythological heroes. A case can be made that they were the first super-heroes of all, but they don't fit the modern tradition that pretty much starts with Superman. I have my doubts about counting MLJ's Hercules as a proper costume hero in the same sense as the Shield or the Hangman... Marvel's Thor counts as a super-hero mostly because he's so thoroughly integrated with the Marvel Universe. He interacts with other Marvel heroes, he's been a member of the Avengers, he has a secret identity (or did -- I haven't read the book in years). And remember how the strip started out? Dr. Don Blake found a magic stick in a Scandinavian cave with an inscription on it to the effect that whoever be worthy would possess the power of "Thorr" (the letterer misspelled it!) by striking the ground with it. The implication seemed to be that Don Blake was just a regular Joe who found the stick -- anybody could have found that stick and assuming appropriate worthiness would have been turned into a Thor. That's pretty straightforward super-hero shtick. Later, as the strip evolved, there was some backfilling and revised continuity to reveal that Don Blake had always been the one and only, genuine, original Thor, for some reason disguised as a mortal with no memory of his godly persona until he found the stick. It looks like Stan and Jack started the strip with only the intention of making it a standard super-hero strip and only later made the hero actually BE the mythological god he represented. MLJ's Hercules always was intended to be the mythological son of Zeus (and the first strip is hilarious -- the depiction of Zeus is swiped from Alex Raymond's Ming the Merciless!). I just don't think he's a super-hero in the same way the Shield is. But that's my opinion and it's not necessarily bolted to the floor. So what do you guys think?

I meant to send it to Dwight directly, but I forgot to change the address. What can I say, I get flakey around 1:30 A.M. Anyway, here's the post I was planning to send to the rest of you. Masked western characters count to me because they fit the basic mold. I can understand your objections. I know when I'm reading a GA comic, the western strips all look the same to me whether they've got a mask on or not. But if you think about the Lone Ranger's origin (death of his friends, puts on a mask to conceal his identity, has a sidekick and gimmicks, etc...) he's really not that different from Batman. I don't think setting should affect their standing. They're all cut from the same mold. And yes I realize that I said I wouldn't argue this point and now I have, but I haven't had too many opportunities to pop off on this list recently. Tarzan, on the other hand, doesn't fit the mold. No secret identity, no intentional costume (I'm sure if he had more clothes he'd wear them), and no powers. The only Jungle character that I might include on my list would be ones like Kalathar, the Red Panther, and Tabu (Red Panther and Tabu appeared in Jungle Comics). Kalathar had special powers as did Tabu, and the Red Panther and Tabu wore distinctive costumes (Tabu didn't always, but eventually took to wearing a cape). Hercules is the one I feel most strongly about. He is very similar to Samson who has always been listed as a superhero. A lot of other heroes have mythological connections. Captain Marvel, Man of War, and Son of the Gods to name a few. I think part of it is the tone. I don't see much difference between the MLJ Hercules and the Quality Hercules. MH is really Hercules while QH is just a real strong, but otherwise they both just roam around fighting injustice. I grant you that it's not as clear cut as the Shield, but I still think he should count. He even got an arch-enemy and a sidekick in his last appearance (Blue Ribbon #8).

But I feel I owe to it whatever remains of my sanity to try to get out of them some sum approaching what I paid for them should I ever decide to dump the holdings. With the supply of Golden Age comics drying up, I've been told by more than one dealer I've bought from to keep them in mind if the day ever comes when I come to my senses.

During the summer months (June through August),we will be doing a summer special featuring all of the MLJ characters from the Golden Age,that fit the "loose" definition of good guy or gal (not too many here!),and in addition to that we will also be having the 1950 characters,the Fly, Private Strong and Bobby Bell being featured as well in the main body of this issue.These will be narrated by the DARKLING and the SHE-FOX.Also in this issue,in our "Companions and Criminal" section,we will feature the characters from the 1960's that didn't originate in the GA. Plus a look at the "other" genre's in MLJ's characters from the GA such as Nevada Jones and Captain Valor as they do fit marginally to the concept of do-gooders,if not super ones.If that's not enough,we will also have the Impact retro characters,the Crusaders of America spotlighted and the whole section will be narrated by the COBRA.Plus profiles on the major villains of the GA era.We hope this will be of use to those unfamiliar with the sum total of MLJ and Archie's output spanning over 50 years of super hero'ing.We're working on this as I write this,but.... We still need a few pieces of information to complete (and to make complete),the definitive Archie/MLJ Summer Spectacular that we've mentioned.Here is what bit's of info we need.... Info on Hercules sidekick from BR # 8 Info on Captain Commando's young group Info on the Red Rube's cohorts Info on major villains of all of the GA character,we know of the Hun.Captain Swastika,the Skull,and a few others,but there are others,we're sure of.Biographical info on them as well as visual info is greatly appreciated. And any insights or tidbits on the main characters themselves,plus.... Info on the supporting characters of our heroes of the GA,such as girlfriends or recuring characters. If anyone wants to do an index on MLJ or a company profile let us know.If anyone wants to do an MLJ/Archie time line,also let us know. Help us out in making this the best tribute issue to MLJ and Archie that we can produce.Thanks! PS---issue #12 features the Black Hood and the Hangman,and issue # 13 has the Falcon,who has not been seen for over 60 years!Issue #'s 14 & 15 will wrap up the remainder of the MLJ and Archie characters, in anticipation of the Summer Special....

That should be "What if Dwight Decker had gotten the power TO FLY when he was 15?" It's sort of semi-autobiographical reminiscences of my long-ago schooldays (but with all the names changed), about a kid who reads too many comic books for his own good, and then one day an RJS-224 Personal Flight Module from the far future is delivered to him by accident. I suppose it's fan fiction gone utterly crazed, but like I said, I'm having fun with it (mainly by working out the logical consequences of the goofy premise). I've been approached about tacking the series up on a website where anyone so inclined can take a squint at it, but so far it's just appeared in my zines for CAPA-Alpha. Sorry about the off-topic stuff... In other news, I think I'm still supposed to be working on an MLJ article for Roy Thomas's magazine Alter Ego. I showed the actual managing editor of the magazine, Bill Schelly, a very rough draft of what I had so far a while back, and he told me he wanted something with a different angle. I was doing a Complete Guide to MLJ that probably would have run thousands of words, but he wanted something more personal, along the lines of What MLJ Comics Meant to Me Even Though I'm Too Young to Have Read Them as a Kid and Adventures I've Had Collecting Them. When all the air gets let out of your balloon, it's a little hard to blow it back up, so I haven't done much with the piece in a while. Nor have I heard from Bill or Roy lately. Still, I should do something pretty soon, before it gets to be Years in the Making and embarrassing every time somebody asks me about it. --Dwight Decker From LKFine@aol.com Sun Jan 30 00:59:01 2000 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (listserv $); by f7; 30 Jan 2000 09:02:59 -0000 Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 28869 invoked from network); 30 Jan 2000 09:02:52 -0000 Received: from imo-d05.mx.aol.com (205.188.157.37) by qh.egroups.com with SMTP; 30 Jan 2000 09:02:52 -0000 Received: from LKFine@aol.com by imo-d05.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v24.8.) id a.48.f86f18 (4116) for ; Sun, 30 Jan 2000 04:02:46 -0500 (EST) From: LKFine@aol.com Message-ID: <48.f86f18.25c55836@aol.com> Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2000 04:02:46 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 38 Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Precedence: bulk List-Help: , List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Subject: [mightycomics] Re: MLJ Mistaken Secret Identities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 1/29/00 3:57:11 PM Pacific Standard Time, Deklane@aol.com writes: << No plans of going to Wondercon, I'm afraid.

That's what I need! Actually, sleep is what I need but a mission is what I'm gonna get. Hercules sidekick was more along the lines of Doiby Dickles or Woozy Winks. He was just a guy who got ripped off by the criminal mastermind, Natcha (I use the term mastermind loosely, she just walked into his office, took the gems, and threatened to send her "boys" to beat the crap out of him if he talked). The guy, whose real name is never mentioned, decides to jump off a bridge but is saved by Hercules. For some reason Herc calls him Little Zooey. At first he objects to this since it isn't his name, but Herc is not deterred and eventually Little Zooey decides to go with the flow. Long story short (well, shorter) Herc gets his money back, but lets Natcha go because she reminds him of Hippolyte who "was wicked, but she learned her lesson". Most likely he also realized that he needed a recurring villian. Sadly all of these changes were for naught, because Hercules wasn't in Blue Ribbon #9. Too bad really because the strip really wasn't bad at this point. Natcha was a decent villian, he was building a supporting cast, and Mort Meskin did the art in #8 so it looked good. This is probably why I disagree with Dwight on Hercules status. The editors were clearly trying to make him more like the rest of the heroes in this issue. So maybe if I only read the earlier stories, I wouldn't feel as strongly about it. That's about all I've got in me tonight, but I'll be back with more later. -Paris From "Paul Newell" Sun Jan 30 01:42:49 2000 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (listserv $); by f7; 30 Jan 2000 09:46:52 -0000 Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 9981 invoked from network); 30 Jan 2000 09:46:28 -0000 Received: from netspace.hinet.net.au (203.21.107.1) by qh.egroups.com with SMTP; 30 Jan 2000 09:46:28 -0000 Received: from paul (ts-09-47.hinet.net.au [203.41.31.143]) by netspace.hinet.net.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id UAA03902 for ; Sun, 30 Jan 2000 20:51:53 +1100 Message-ID: <002501bf6b07$227ca380$8f1f29cb@paul> From: "Paul Newell" To: References: <16891-38937CBA-4087@storefull-294.iap.bryant.webtv.net> Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2000 20:48:16 +1100 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6600 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6600 Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Precedence: bulk List-Help: , List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Subject: [mightycomics] Re: MLJ Mistaken Secret Identities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >If that's not enough,we will also have > the Impact retro characters,the Crusaders of America spotlighted and the > whole section will be narrated by the COBRA.

We too are looking forward to the summer special,and we're hard at work on it as we write,any additional info that you or anyone else can supply,just let me know. I've always thought that the "Mighty Comics Presents" series was a sort of continuation of the Cursaders concept,as it featured many of the heroes found in the "Too Many Super Heroes" storyline,and of course the Mighty Crusaders themselves. As far as I know,Archie's Weird Mysteries # 3 is out next week here in the states,I didn't see it this week,but then,my store is sometimes late with the new books,or sells out before I have a chance to get to the store on new release day.Has anyone seen it yet?LMK.Take care all!

I'd forgotten about that... This adds yet another dimension to my list of "Foolers" -- that is, characters that had names that made them sound like they were super-heroes but they really weren't. The Golden Age Doc Strong was not a super-hero...but the name was later used for a character who was one (but only in "retro-contrinuity"). Somebody looking at the Crusaders of America might think that Doc Strong was the original Doc Strong, but it was only somebody mining the MLJ properties for names. Same with the Black Witch -- wasn't she just an EC-type hag narrating horror stories? I should know this, but all my MLJ references are packed away at the moment and I can't check. --Dwight Decker From pamric@webtv.net (Richard Boucher) Sun Jan 30 12:13:51 2000 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (listserv $); by f7; 30 Jan 2000 20:17:54 -0000 Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 17808 invoked from network); 30 Jan 2000 20:17:24 -0000 Received: from mailsorter-105-1.iap.bryant.webtv.net (209.240.198.119) by qg.egroups.com with SMTP; 30 Jan 2000 20:17:24 -0000 Received: from storefull-294.iap.bryant.webtv.net (storefull-294.iap.bryant.webtv.net [209.240.198.24]) by mailsorter-105-1.iap.bryant.webtv.net (WebTV_Postfix) with ESMTP id 9A229132A for ; Sun, 30 Jan 2000 12:17:23 -0800 (PST) Received: (from production@localhost) by storefull-294.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.8-wtv-e/mt.gso.26Feb98) id MAA00735; Sun, 30 Jan 2000 12:17:22 -0800 (PST) X-WebTV-Signature: 1 ETAsAhRNxIZyiIxle8DzdXMpMUDhFznd2AIUNGvZL4qA6iSUaSpJw/whJbLnpEQ= From: pamric@webtv.net (Richard Boucher) Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2000 12:17:22 -0800 (PST) To: mightycomics@egroups.com Message-ID: <16890-38949C52-7904@storefull-294.iap.bryant.webtv.net> In-Reply-To: Dwight Decker 's message of Sun, 30 Jan 2000 11:57:34 -0700 Content-Disposition: Inline Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Precedence: bulk List-Help: , List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Crusaders of America MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Not only did they mine old MLJ character names for the retro heroes,they took the name of one for their scientist friend whose body was inhabited by an alien being (who was totally evil!) from another dimentional world,and called him KALATHAR!Oh the shame of the Impact universe!And yes,the Black WItch was an EC type narrator of horror stories,who looked like an old witch.I guess MLJ never saw fit to deem the "female" readership with a heroine who was worthy enough to play with the boys!"A woman's place is in the kitchen" mentality I guess!

Note that there is usually a 2 week lag between when Archie titles ship from the printer to Diamond Distributors, then get processed by Diamond and sent to the comic shops. Therefore, a comic shipping in late January (as "AWM #3" shipped this past Tuesday) won't actually show up in a comic shop until February. It doesn't effect titles shipping early in a ship month, but it causes a lot of confusion for those that ship at the later dates-- in this case, "AWM #3" appeared in Diamond's catalog of "items shipping in January." They really should just provide "street dates" so that fans know the exact date a comic will show up in their shop. Anyway, it's a week and a half away at this point. And let me make this clear to everyone-- this is not the issue for depth of character. This has practically EVERYONE in it (with the aforementioned exceptions of The Fly, Fly-Girl, Private Strong and Hangman), and as such, plays more like "Too Many Superheroes 2000." Hopefully some of you out there will like it. Just note that it is an action-packed romp more than anything else... Oh, just in case: to find the comic shop nearest you, call the Comic Shop Locator Service at 1-888-266-4226. Enjoy!

RICHARD BOUCHER >> Well, there are other possibilities, like maybe MLJ just didn't last long enough to get to female heroes. Let's face it: those birds at MLJ would swipe anything successful that other companies were doing, so I doubt if such an attitude as you cite would have stopped them if they thought there was a chance of getting a hit out of it. And they did have Madame Satan, after all, a female lead in her own strip even if not a very nice one. But if you want to see what an MLJ heroine might have looked like, you might take a look at the Silver Scorpion strip in the Marvel Mystery Comics #1 GA reprint collection Marvel published late last year. It's signed by Harry Sahle, one of the MLJ regulars. If MLJ had published a superheroine strip and he drew it, it would have looked like this, I'm sure. (And it ain't that great, so maybe we didn't miss much when MLJ missed out on the misses.) --Dwight Decker From "Bradley Cobb" Sun Jan 30 19:32:51 2000 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (listserv $); by f7; 31 Jan 2000 03:36:53 -0000 Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 24633 invoked from network); 31 Jan 2000 03:36:42 -0000 Received: from f186.law4.hotmail.com (HELO hotmail.com) (216.33.149.186) by qg.egroups.com with SMTP; 31 Jan 2000 03:36:42 -0000 Received: (qmail 73654 invoked by uid 0); 31 Jan 2000 03:36:41 -0000 Message-ID: <20000131033641.73653.qmail@hotmail.com> Received: from 208.235.6.73 by www.hotmail.com with HTTP; Sun, 30 Jan 2000 19:36:41 PST X-Originating-IP: [208.235.6.73] From: "Bradley Cobb" To: mightycomics@egroups.com Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2000 19:36:41 PST Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Precedence: bulk List-Help: , List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Subject: [mightycomics] Impact and things regarding them...

When I first started collecting in the 60s, I noticed that the guys who were reading comics in the 50s had a tendency to adore ECs. Of course, readers from the 40s preferred Golden Age superheroes like Captain Marvel and Superman. For young fellows like our Mr. Cobb, the comics from the 80s and 90s will always have a special sentiment. Since I was about 13 when the Mighty Crusaders exploded on the scene in 1965, I just adored them. I didn't know that writer Jerry Siegel had created Superman or that artist Paul Reinman had oil paintings hanging in fancy art museums. I will never forget the Black Hood flying around on that stupid looking robot horse, or the Comet wearing a rainbow colored helmet and shooting disintegrating rays out of his fingertips. The Shield had a power of teleportation. Fly Man liked to talk to insects. For the most part, they were really dumb stories, but they were campy and just good fun. If nothing else, they were certainly different. I have never been able to warm up much to the later versions of the Crusaders, but who cares. I am just tickled to see the youngsters reading anything these days. If Brad likes them, that is good enough for me. Ron F.

Now at the age of 46, I am fat, balding, and have a face of grey whiskers that Gabby Hayes would have admired. My son keeps telling me that if I don't at least trim them, he won't let me spoil my new grandson. It seems that people have always thought I was about ten years older than I am. Part of my trouble is that I've spent too much time hanging out with members of the Geritol crowd. Do you remember you and I meeting at that summer convention in Chicago, in 1987? We had a nice long chat about the splendors of Asterix, as I recall. If I recall, I think that was during one of my brief clean-shaven periods. I was also about 40 pounds thinner. Ron F.

OOPS! Silly me! Of course I remember now! I have those issues, they just haven't been read in awhile. BTW Does anyone know if they were completely new characters or were actually based on MLJ heroes?

I thought the execution of the stories in some series was a bit of a letdown, but overall I enjoyed the different "spin" that was put on the characters. I first discovered the MLJ heroes in the mid eighties during the Red Circle era and fell deeply in love with the characters, (At the same time I discovered the THUNDER Agents, another great series, and then spent many enjoyable years finding old issues and putting together as complete runs as I could of the two super teams).

Perhaps it is wishful thinking on my part, but there is always hope.How does the concept of a character named "Blackjack" or Black Hood" not get treated in the same manner,just to cite a few other examples? Just curious.After all,we ARE dealing in fantasy here,and we should never sell the young minds of today's kids short,after all they are certainly more adept and savvy than you and I were at their age.JMO. Again thanks for your efforts to keep the characters going in this dire time in your industry.Take care and God bless.

Personal opinion on the Impact stuff, storywise: the entire staff was told to wrap up all the storylines in 2-4 issues. In doing this, they had to sacrifice a lot of character development and plot to accomidate this new demand. Look at it this way, at least they didn't just end on a "to be continued..." not like many small publishers ended up having to do because they went out of business. I can forgive them of this. I, from drawing my own comics, know what it's like to rush and how the quality of story suffers. Anywho...I have this problem of rambling. bye. by the way, I am first and foremost a Colts fan, but Rams are #2.

While you make good points that I can't dispute, hopefully you can understand that the publishers would be nervous about publishing The Hangman in this climate, even one portrayed as a great, righteous champion. Black Hood and Black Jack aren't as cut-and-dried character names as Hangman, alas. Black Jack's name doesn't refer to the weapon, but to the playing card-- and yes, it may invoke the card game of the same name, but it's more benign. Black Hood simply describes the mask he wears, and has nothing to do with him being a "hoodlum." When you see the character of The Hangman, you don't think of the parlor game-- you think of an executioner with a rope. It's unfortunate, but true. Speaking of Black Jack, I'm quite fond of the character, especially the work the late, great Samm Schwartz did with it. I think he was among the first of the "flippant" heroes-- those that truly enjoyed the action and adventure, laughed and joked their way through it and got a huge adrenaline rush from it. I also think he had one of the most dynamic costumes ever for a 1940s superhero. He has a decent role in "Archie's Weird Mysteries #3," as he did in the "Archie's Weird Mysteries" Halloween giveaway comic. If I had the chance to do a full-time Crusaders series, he'd have a big part in that, too. I just think he was kind of swept under the rug...

That might be fuzzy-- DC could always claim concepts (even ill-conceived ones) like their version of "The Web" are their "intellectual property." B.) The Impact version of The Web. Now why would Archie even WANT to come out with their own version of the Impact Universe? :^) But seriously, the rich heritage of these characters is what most fans remember most, and even though some evolved from their original conceptions at Archie, they still retained their familiarity. Some of the Impact revisions were a bit drastic, to say the least. I would venture that Archie would prefer to create their OWN revisions before mining the Impact territory again. Of course, it's all moot. The characters exist now in close to their original Archie versions, both in the Public Service Announcements that have been running (and are archived on the Archie website in "The S Files"-- I think you can still get the older versions-- they've been stuck on Mr. Justice for awhile because the new one's have been taking awhile to finish) and of course, in the "Archie's Weird Mysteries" issue which is only days away. One last teaser concerning that issue (and it even surprised me, and I WROTE the darn issue): two characters who really weren't highlighted much during the 1980's Red Circle/Archie Adventure run actually get to stand in the spotlight in Chapters 3 and 4...

                  il Kane, a comic-book artist who infused the Atom, Green Lantern
                  and other characters with vibrant new life even as his own artistic
                  aspirations propelled him to draw comic books of Wagnerian operas,
            died on Monday at a hospital in Miami. He was 73 and lived in Aventura, Fla.

            The cause of death was lymphoma, said his wife, Elaine.

            Known for the kinetic quality of his compositions, the self-taught artist

Just be sure to post spoiler warnings where necessary for those > who haven't read it yet... well, let me just say that I found the story interesting and has definitely caused me to look MLJ history. If at all possible, I'm going to try to find some of the 90s, 80s, 70s and 60s appearances of the MLJ hero line. A question though, do you plan to write further adventures of the Mighty Crusaders and/or other heroes Archie/MLJ Heroes? Something that I still can't get over is the fact that I never held any interest in these characters until recently (as of Archie's Weird Mysteries #3). Something that I did find odd (and maybe this is because I haven't read Archie comics in ages) was Mr. Weatherbee's claim made towards Jughead. Something about him being a wiseguy/sarcastic? It seemed strangely out of character, but like I said above, I haven't Archie Books in a while and even back then I would tend to read the Digests which would re-run older material (I would always feel frustrated when I got a story that I had already read). That's all from me for now!

He's actually smarter than just about every character in the Archieverse-- with the possible exception of Dilton (and sometimes he's even smarter than Dilton). He's also very cool, and not easily ruffled. Jughead routinely makes wisecracks in this series, even to Mr. Weatherbee, and that is what Weatherbee refers to. Thanks for your comments.

That's dedication! It probably won't hit the bookstore chains for a few more weeks-- their schedule is different than comic shops-- they still have issue #2 on the racks at the bookstores. So the good news is, if you can't find it at a comic shop, a bookstore or other traditional "newsstand" outlet (such as a supermarket, department store, drug store, convenience store, etc.) will probably have it within the next two to three weeks...

S P O I L E R S Ok,great premise to start with.Archie simply picks up the Crusader comic book and his heroes come to life.It is not a jarring as one thinks.The explanation that it is the Brain Emperor's doing is easliy acceptable,and lets the villains appear along with the heroes en masse.The animated style of the Crusaders is not too bad either,although the costume changes are a bit hard to accept from this old fan. and the "new" powers that some of the characters have (Steel Sterling for example) is a bit of a unexpected change. All in all it was a good,if brief story.But the worst part for me was seeing the characters of Bob Phantom and the Firefly in those "changed" outfits.Bob's is understandable,since the 1980's series depicted him this way.I've always prefered the "60's incarnation of old Bob.But why change the Firefly's outfit?His was one of the neater uniforms from the old days that still had appeal.Hmmm.Anyways a good resolution to the story,and it was good to see the Wizard as a hero again,it almost makes up for the lack of the Hangman (for obvious reasons) appearance.Now this calls for a sequel where Archie and Co. get swept up into the Crusaders universe, and perhaps we could see Pureheart the Powerful and Super Teen again,along with the rest of the crew.Good job Paul.BTW,I bought two copies,just to show my support for this one shot Crusader's adventure.And I hope others bought a lot of them too,although I fear that it won't sell any better than any other Archie book.Well,let us know how well it really did.Again thanks for bring them back at least for one more go 'round.The Mighty Legion of Justice proves what great characters they were.Bye for now.

I understand your feelings about the costumes-- it was (no pun intended) a patchwork approach, apparently. Unfortunately, those were editorial decisions which I had no input on. I, too, am a fan of the black, red and yellow outfit of The Firefly and was shocked myself when I saw a color copy of the comic showing the other costume, but the comic had already gone to press. I'm glad you enjoyed my use of The Wizard... S P O I L E R When I first began conceiving the story, I hadn't thought of highlighting The Wizard and Mr. Justice as much as I did, but then I thought, "of course!" You see, in this continuity of the Archie universe, things are out of whack for no rhyme or reason-- supernatural activity is just a fact of life! Naturally, the Wizard and Mr. Justice fit in well in that type of environment. Thanks again for your comments-- they are truly appreciated!

Overall, I liked the comic... it was nice to see the Mighty Heroes again, even if they had to guest in Archie's book. Unlike some of the rest of you, I didn't really care much for the animated-style versions (I think it was carried off better in the Public Service Announcements)... if there happened to be a regular Crusaders book based on sales of this issue, I'd hope for a more traditinal approach to the art (and if they're looking for writers for such a possible series, I'd love a shot at it... I'm not known for my writing, but rather transcribing for TwoMorrows, and I know the meaning of the word "deadline"!). I would just hope that if a new series was spun out of this, a slower approach would be taken as red to the 1980s Red Circle series, where there were, frankly, too many books out all at once. I'd ask for a solid Crusaders title, and maybe an anthology title (Blue Ribbon, or maybe an all-new "Mighty Crusaaders Presents" or "Crusaders Universe" or something) with individual stories... oh, wait, save Blue Ribbon for selected reprints and use "Presents" for new stories. Yeah, I've ghot my own ideas for bringing back the Crusaders in their own book, but I'd have no problem buying any take on 'em (heck, I bought all the Red Circle/Archie Adenture s4eries issues, and then the Impact! titles!). Like I said, I liked it, and hope to see more! Jon -- Jon B.

I guess I haven't read an Archie comic in over a decade and I would buy one like this every month. From the homage to Amazing Fantasy #15 (complete with Stan Lee-like alliteration!) on page one to the "Vile Villain" coloring page, I loved it! I enjoyed the roll call of the "second wave" of heroes. (Yay Fox! Yay Bob Phantom!) I was genuinely surprised to see Mr. Justice. As a fan, he gave me the same thrill when he showed up as the Phantom Stranger used to when he appeared in JL of A So, add my name to the list of people who would buy Crusaders monthly. I enjoyed the "animated" style of art, but I'd like to see somebody like Tom Grummett draw the Mighty gang. Some closing thoughts: I manage a comics shop in the Milwaukee area. We had 10 copies for the rack (and this doesn't account for the pre-order single issues requested by my subscription customers) and it was my "Pick of the Week." I think you should see SOME spike in direct sales on this issue compared to the (usual) two copies we normally get for rack of each Archie title. I plan to read this one to my five year old daughter. She likes Sabrina and Sonic and is, of course, our future. Sincerely, John Steib Collector's Edge Comics 6830 W. Lincoln Avenue West Allis, WI 53219 p.s. I am sending a version of my comments to Archie's Weird Mystery lettercol as well.

It was a fun story. The art was solid. The costume changes ranged from improvements (Black Jack, the Comet) to awful (Firefly) with Mr. Justice and Captain Flag (nobody's done his cowl right since Lin Streeter) somewhere in between. It was great seeing all the familiar villains from the Red Circle/Mighty days (I didn't do a thorough check, did anyone get left out?). I am curious as to when Archie's mom got so young. Also, Mr. Justice seemed a little over the top in his reaction to Black Jack at the end. Anyways, I'm hoping sales will be so good that this'll lead to many more Crusader appearances in the future (but I'm not holding my breath). Keep us posted and thanks for a good read. -Paris From "Paul Newell" Thu Feb 17 01:02:43 2000 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (listserv $); by f7; 17 Feb 2000 09:02:42 -0000 Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 7135 invoked from network); 17 Feb 2000 09:02:34 -0000 Received: from netspace.hinet.net.au (203.21.107.1) by qg.egroups.com with SMTP; 17 Feb 2000 09:02:34 -0000 Received: from paul (ts-09-52.hinet.net.au [203.41.31.148]) by netspace.hinet.net.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id UAA11928 for ; Thu, 17 Feb 2000 20:08:05 +1100 Message-ID: <000d01bf7925$e12df6e0$941f29cb@paul> From: "Paul Newell" To: References: <33.16f65d2.25dce808@aol.com> Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 20:03:37 +1100 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6600 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6600 Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Precedence: bulk List-Help: , List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Subject: [mightycomics] Off topic questions for Paul MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Hey, great news!

I have heard that Australia is the second biggest market for the Phantom (Behind the Northern European countries). And what format is the Phantom printed there? Are there reprints and the new European stories printed there regularly? We have Frew Comics here who have been publishing the Phantom continuously since 1948. The latest issue just came out which was 1252 (Though due to erratic numbering over the years it's actually #1280 or thereabouts.) I've actually just spent about $480 AU getting my Raymond Moore and Wilson McCoy drawn stories up to date. I think that comes to about $290 US. But then I did the same quite a few years ago to get my Mighty Crusaders issues. :) From Benny7dude@aol.com Thu Feb 17 04:21:10 2000 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (listserv $); by f7; 17 Feb 2000 12:21:10 -0000 Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 25366 invoked from network); 17 Feb 2000 12:21:02 -0000 Received: from imo-d07.mx.aol.com (205.188.157.39) by qh.egroups.com with SMTP; 17 Feb 2000 12:21:02 -0000 Received: from Benny7dude@aol.com by imo-d07.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v25.3.) id a.8e.1664507 (4257) for ; Thu, 17 Feb 2000 07:20:57 -0500 (EST) From: Benny7dude@aol.com Message-ID: <8e.1664507.25dd41a9@aol.com> Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 07:20:57 EST To: mightycomics@egroups.com X-Mailer: AOL 5.0 for Windows sub 45 Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Precedence: bulk List-Help: , List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Off topic questions for Paul MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 2/17/00 4:21:07 AM Eastern Standard Time, hulaguy@hinet.net.au writes: << Just out of curiosity, I was just wondering how big is the Phantom in the States?

Which means there are whole years where no Phantom comic books are published-- and the years where there are no Phantom comic books outnumber the years when there are. However, there are champions who arise every now and then to publish the classic stories. Right now, a publisher named Tony Raiola is reprinting whole adventures from the 1930's in a paperback format. If I ever had the proper funds, I'd consider publishing The Phantom, but the market wouldn't support it in the US, I'm afraid, and there would be no profit (not a good way to run a business)! I'd love to print the Frew and Egmont stories in America. The next best thing would be if the Frew comics were allowed to be distrubuted in America, but their licensing agreement with King Features prohibits them from doing so, so American fans either have to order them direct from Frew or get them from other collectors. Oh, as for the newspaper strips, the Phantom appears in various newspapers in the United States, but again, it's spotty. There is a network of fans who email the strips to each other in JPG or GIF formats, though. So the short answer is: The Phantom has a fiercely loyal cult following in the United States, but not enough to support any big endeavors. Too bad...

Such a great character as the Phantom not being treated that well in his "home country". As to other reprints of the earlier material, I suggest having a look around EBAY for the Frew "Blockbuster" issues if you feel inclined. They're probably the best value. The best thing about Frew is that for the last ten years or so they've been spending the time and money in restoring as much as possible the stories to their full content. The "blockbusters" are the annuals of Frew and you can get quite a few restored stories for your money. The latest, #1249, which came out the first week of January had all the Raymond Moore stories from Little Toma (Tommy) through to The Golden Circle in their restored forms. This covered the daily strips from September 37 to January 40. The only one they couldn't fit in was Fishers of Pearls which is being printed, restored, in a couple of weeks. Soon after, hopefully, they will be reprinting the Phantom goes to War. They've already printed it twice in the last few years, but they recently tracked down better quality art so they have restored it even further. For your interest, there's a great Phantom site set up by an Aussie which has lots of interesting info on the Phantom here: http://www.fam.aust.com/deepwoods/ Enjoy! Oh yeah, and thanks again for a terrific Mighty Crusaders issue! :) From pamric@webtv.net (Richard Boucher) Thu Mar 2 14:01:34 2000 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (listserv 315); by f7; 02 Mar 2000 22:01:40 -0000 Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 17472 invoked from network); 2 Mar 2000 22:01:36 -0000 Received: from mailsorter-105-2.iap.bryant.webtv.net (209.240.198.118) by mx3.egroups.com with SMTP; 2 Mar 2000 22:01:36 -0000 Received: from storefull-292.iap.bryant.webtv.net (storefull-292.iap.bryant.webtv.net [209.240.198.136]) by mailsorter-105-2.iap.bryant.webtv.net (WebTV_Postfix) with ESMTP id C7BC726E2E for ; Thu, 2 Mar 2000 14:01:35 -0800 (PST) Received: (from production@localhost) by storefull-292.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.8-wtv-e/mt.gso.26Feb98) id OAA23967; Thu, 2 Mar 2000 14:01:16 -0800 (PST) X-WebTV-Signature: 1 ETAtAhQ61E7RqDJzdHnC5OcUGT6awfBeXwIVAMTD9sodsEXRkMgGXNM6yw+jC8DM From: pamric@webtv.net (Richard Boucher) Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2000 14:01:16 -0800 (PST) To: mightycomics@egroups.com Message-ID: <8734-38BEE4AC-4280@storefull-292.iap.bryant.webtv.net> In-Reply-To: Benny7dude@aol.com's message of Tue, 15 Feb 2000 22:11:02 EST Content-Disposition: Inline Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Precedence: bulk List-Help: , List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Subject: [mightycomics] Re: OT: Shameless Plug MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi All!

Nice idea...let us know if you go ahead and do it. But the last I heard from our Fearless Leader was that fan fiction wouldn't be posted on the Mighty Comics list. The list is here to discuss the MLJ/Mighty heroes, share information about them, and lobby for their revival, but at the same time we don't want to make ArchieCo uneasy. Fan fiction is written out of love for characters, of course, so it's a great tribute and shows a lot of interest, but at the same time it gnaws away at copyright and trademark ownership. To the extent that ArchieCo is even aware of us, I think we want the management to be flattered and pleased that we're interested in some of the firm's properties (even if the company has no intention of actually reviving them any time soon), but not worried that we're going to do something that will damage its rights to them in case a movie or TV or licensing deal comes along. I think the Listmeister can explain this better than I can... --Dwight Decker From mperry@drew.edu Mon Mar 13 09:42:15 2000 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (listserv 315); by f8; 13 Mar 2000 17:42:27 -0000 Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 5138 invoked from network); 13 Mar 2000 17:42:04 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO pengo.drew.edu) (199.95.160.208) by qh.egroups.com with SMTP; 13 Mar 2000 17:42:04 -0000 Received: (from nobody@localhost) by pengo.drew.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) id MAA00957 for mightycomics@egroups.com; Mon, 13 Mar 2000 12:44:21 -0500 From: mperry@drew.edu X-Authentication-Warning: pengo.drew.edu: nobody set sender to mperry@drew.edu using -f Message-ID: <952969461.38cd28f5b2178@webmail.drew.edu> Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 12:44:21 -0500 To: References: In-Reply-To: User-Agent: IMP/PHP IMAP webmail program 2.2.0-pre9 Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Precedence: bulk List-Help: , List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Subject: [mightycomics] Hangman MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I recently bought some MLJ books from the sixties.

As far as I know, it was never explained exactly why the Hangman and the Wizard went bad. From a Real World standpoint, of course, the explanation is probably that the Hangman was thought to be too gruesome in name and concept to work as a hero in the '60s and would make a better villain. Why the Wizard was made into a rotter, I can't even guess; in the '40s, he was MLJ's first star hero, and MLJ tried awfully hard to push him even though he never really took off. Maybe Jerry Siegel was just hard up for villains and used what came to hand as he was looking through the old comics for ideas. What's interesting, though, is that somebody else might have just used the _names_ for villains. "There may have been a hero called the Wizard long ago, but this new guy using his name is a villain through and through." Which would keep the Archie-owned names alive and trademarkable without damaging the original characters. But in the Mighty continutity, the Hangman and the Wizard were not only villains but renegade heroes -- they didn't just have the names of the old heroes, they were really _them_. Siegel or whoever worked this out was on to something, I think, that could have been interesting, but of course it was never developed in any depth we would have liked to see. Or even explained. --Dwight Decker From "Paul Newell" Mon Mar 13 16:38:40 2000 Delivered-To: listsaver-of-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (listserv 315); by f8; 14 Mar 2000 00:38:51 -0000 Delivered-To: listsaver-egroups-mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (qmail 15527 invoked from network); 14 Mar 2000 00:38:10 -0000 Received: from netspace.hinet.net.au (203.21.107.1) by mx3.egroups.com with SMTP; 14 Mar 2000 00:38:10 -0000 Received: from paul (ts-09-04.hinet.net.au [203.41.31.100]) by netspace.hinet.net.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id LAA17688 for ; Tue, 14 Mar 2000 11:37:35 +1100 Message-ID: <005101bf8d4d$b4b014e0$641f29cb@paul> From: "Paul Newell" To: References: <952969461.38cd28f5b2178@webmail.drew.edu> <38CD2FAC.6FC2D4D@agcs.com> Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2000 11:39:05 +1100 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6600 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6600 Mailing-List: contact mightycomics-owner@egroups.com X-Mailing-List: mightycomics@egroups.com Precedence: bulk List-Help: , List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Subject: [mightycomics] Re: Hangman MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit It was explained in issue #33 of Fly Man.

Some of it was just plain silly, but they were a lot of fun to read. Especially, when you were 12 years old when they were first published. My guess is that Siegel didn't know much about how the characters were handled in the 40s. I think another writer was responsible for The Comet first wearing that strange radio helmet. Speaking of logical explanations, does anyone have any ideas on where the Black Hood got that stupid looking, flying robot horse? Or, how the Shield developed powers of teleportation?

Could someone have been behind this? Hmmm.Food for thought.

Some of it was just plain silly, but they were a lot of fun to read. Especially, when you were 12 years old when they were first published. My guess is that Siegel didn't know much about how the characters were handled in the 40s. I think another writer was responsible for The Comet first wearing that strange radio helmet. Speaking of logical explanations, does anyone have any ideas on where the Black Hood got that stupid looking, flying robot horse? Or, how the Shield developed powers of teleportation?

There is no story prior to Flyman # 33 that gives any explanation to the Wizard being evil.Of course,in Crusaders #4,the time plucked "young" WIzard,along with Roy, states this,but how would he know that he would turn evil.And if he did know,why would he allow himself to go down this path,which is against his heroic nature? Did the Wizard knowingly (from a standpoint of his younger self) allow this to happen,for some greater good?Perhaps his fellow heroes who all of a sudden turn up in Crusders # 4,and most had not aged a bit,is part of the answer.Food for thought.

Another question this line of thought has brought to my mind was how did the Fly age so quickly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he originally a ten year old boy? In his origin I mean. I seem to remember seeing a reprint somewhere of his origin drawn by Simon & Kirby. Can someone fill me in on the history of the Fly a little more? I know his first appearance was in 1959 so if that was ever acknowledged in comic book time, how did he grow to manhood and get his law degree in 3 or so years? :) It is interesting to see which characters aged and which didn't.

But don't forget, they'd only been gone for some 20 years, so most of the Mighty guys could have been in their 40s, if still in top shape for their age. Not THAT much of a stretch. The Wizard looked more like he was in his 60s.

But the original Shield was still being published back then, and there were no indications of a wife or son anywhere in evidence.

And they were probably patting themselves on the back a few months later when the Adam West Bat-Man show debuted and was a smash hit, spawning interest in super-hero comics in general, and they (Archie management) probably thought Insert-Wacky-Animal-Name-Here-Man titled comics specifically. Certainly Mighty Comics seemed more interested in emulating the high camp Pow! Zap! Bam! of Bat-man than the human-heroes-with-problems revolution happening at Marvel at the time. Although they seemed to be paying attention to Stan the Man's letters columns, the way the captions were written! But that's always been the appeal of the Mighty comics to me-- they tried to xerox the DC and Marvel wrappers without ever realizing how great the candy inside tasted, or even WHAT it tasted like! Therein lies their charm-- always a few steps away from greatness, but earnest just the same (sort of the Ed Wood of comics). << 2) Some of the books (those for which I could actually find a writer/penciller/credits) mentions that the scribe was Jerry Ess. Was this simply Jerry Siegel's nom de plume? >> That is correct. Jerry Ess was Jerry Siegal, Rick Gee was Richard Goldwater, Vic Tor was Victor Gorelick, and I know Paul Reinman was in there, but I forget what his acronym was (I don't have the comics handy-- I've been moving stuff around and it would be difficult to dig them out at this time). It may have been Paul Are or Paul Arr. There were others, too, if I'm not mistaken... On another note, I remember seeing an Andy Griffith Show rerun when I was a kid where Opie was looking to trade Fly and Spider-Man comics for baseball cards, or some such. Anyone ever see that one? Might be one of the only times a Mighty Comic made it into a movie or TV show...

What exactly did they do? I mean, I know they "sponsored" the Crusaders, gave them a new headquarters (did we ever see that again after it's first appearance?),and gave Bill Higgins a new costume, but still.... 2) Whatever happened to the Saga of New Jerusalem? Anyone know what the story would have been? 3) Does Archie or Rich Buckler own Darkling, Mr. Midnight, and Agents of Atlantis? Was the AoAtlantis story originally intended for the THUNDER Agents and changed for all new characters? 4) Does anyone have any info on the Spectrum line that was aborted? I saw some promo art for the Hangman, the cancellation announcement of the line, and an interview with Steve ENglehart about the Fly, but nothing else. Did the story "bibles" ever see the light anywhere?

I see Mike has already sent in some nice info for you. You can also go to the Mighty-L homepage listed below...it's a rather primitive attempt on my part, and I've let it fall into disrepair, but there is still some good index info there originally provided by Dennis Roy. Btw is Stan Smith still here? He had a very nice MLJ site, but my link to his site seems to be broken. Regards, Kris Brownlow The Fly Lives!

(I should know better than to attempt replies involving statistical detail without my references in front of me, but that stuf' is at home and I'm at work.) Anyway, if that's the story being referred to, it would be better to say "most but not all," since it didn't quite get every MLJ hero. Captain Commando, the Scarlet Avenger, and Mr. Satan were not in it, to name three obvious costume heroes. And since the line is "other heroes ever published by Archie," and not just MLJ, the Private Strong Shield was absent, too. There was some discussion on the list a while back about some of the forgotten heroes, and I believe Richard Boucher brought up the Falcon/Press Guardian, and Paris Bauer mentioned the MLJ Hercules and the Western character Nevada Jones as possible costume heroes. There were also some Golden Age MLJ characters in the anthology comics with names that made them sound like they were costume heroes but they really weren't (Doc Strong, the Silver Fox, the Green Falcon, the Black Witch, Streak Chandler...). --Dwight Decker From taaru2@hotmail.com Fri Jul 21 09:40:33 2000 Return-Path: Received: (qmail 12727 invoked from network); 21 Jul 2000 16:40:33 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.26) by m1.onelist.org with QMQP; 21 Jul 2000 16:40:33 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO hotmail.com) (216.33.149.30) by mta1 with SMTP; 21 Jul 2000 16:40:33 -0000 Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Fri, 21 Jul 2000 09:40:33 -0700 Received: from 209.240.200.105 by lw4fd.law4.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Fri, 21 Jul 2000 GMT X-Originating-IP: [209.240.200.105] To: mightycomics@egroups.com Subject: Re: [mightycomics] Another newbie question. :))) Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 16:40:32 GMT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 21 Jul 2000 16:40:33.0043 (UTC) FILETIME=[635A2630:01BFF332] From: "Kris Brownlow" >From: "drobbins" >Reply-To: mightycomics@egroups.com >To: >Subject: [mightycomics] Another newbie question. :))) >Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 00:06:57 -0700 > >Mike and Kris, >Here's another question you might be able to help with. >I'm a huge fan of John Rosenbeger's work.

Probably one of the other members on here will know though. As to my favorite character I would say it is The Fly. Actually I prefer the more quirky Fly-MAN stories. I do think the name "The Fly" sounds cooler than "Fly-Man" but that's just my opinion. As a kid I also liked the rainbow helmeted Comet in the Mighty Crusaders. I'd never seen a costume like that before and was really curious about that character...so it was the Comet on the cover of a Mighty Crusaders issue that probably got me to buy my first "Mighty" comic.

Interesting. For me it was Fly/Fly-Girl/Jaguar. I wasn't particularly impressed by the change to Fly-Man, which I've been told was their attempt to have him sound more like 'Spider-Man'. I was hooked on the John Rosenberger art and those terrific stories. The Fly-Man art, IMO, wasn't quite as sensational. Serviceable, yes, though, and the stories were still pretty entertaining. I later followed their adventures in the issues put out by Red Circle, although I positively loathed what Ditko did to the Fly and Fly-Girl. I have almost a complete collection from Adventures of The Fly #1 onward, although I still need to track down several of the early Mighty Crusaders. I've been meaning to do it recently but have been super busy. Just a while ago I discovered there was a whole other era of stories concerning Shield and the other characters mentioned in recent posts. Is there a source list somewhere that mentions all the characters and all the issues? Overstreet isn't much help; you have to bounce around the book and know the names of all the heroes to find everything.

The >Fly-Man art, IMO, wasn't quite as sensational. >Serviceable, yes, though, and the stories were still pretty entertaining. I think the Fly is a very visually interesting character. Simon&Kirby came up with a good design there. Many of the stories are just "so-so" but quite a few are a lot of fun. Rosenberger is a good artist, but I still prefer the quirky (soviet?) Fly-Man issues even though the Reinman art isn't as polished as Rosenberger's. >I later followed their adventures in the issues put out by Red Circle, >although I positively loathed what Ditko did to the Fly and Fly-Girl. Ditko didn't do much for me either; his Fly seemed blocky and awkward to me. It was interesting to see Rudy Nebres ink Ditko on some of the covers though. I would have liked to have seen Nebres do the Fly solo. Some of Nebres' covers for Red Circle were very nice. >I have almost a complete collection from Adventures of The Fly #1 onward, >although I still need to track down several of the early Mighty Crusaders. >I've been meaning to do it recently but have been super busy. >Just a while ago I discovered there was a whole other era of >stories concerning Shield and the other characters mentioned in recent >posts. >Is there a source list somewhere that mentions all the characters and all >the issues?

Moi? It's more like, "Once I starts jabbering I can't shut up!" Ah, well. It's genetic. What can I say? I love the Fly/Fly-Girl. When I was a sprout, I liked them even more than Spider-Man, Supes, et all. But in my neck of the woods at the time, Fly and the other related titles were hard to come by. Maybe it was a distribution problem. I'd haunt the stores and find intermittent issues at best, on the average of every two or three. In my childhood brilliance it never occurred to me to subscribe. I'd have to rank my appreciation for the Jaguar as about even with Fly/Fly-Girl---maybe even a 'tad' more. But all three are still my all-time faves---up there with KONA, MONARCH OF MONSTER ISLE. (Don't ask. :) It wasn't Ditko's art so much I disliked during his Red Circle period, it was what he did to the characters. Taking away most of the Fly's powers, breaking up Troy and Kim---in short, he did everything I did not want done and it really turned me off. I was hoping there would be some knowledgeable folks on this list. I'm still trying to track down all of John Rosenberger's issues. Does anyone know who has the rights to the characters today? Too bad we can't see a revival, eh?

I don't have all of the issues to verify for myself what charactors was in each issue. 2. And even if I did, which ones would I consider a super hero as opposed to a costumed character. For example, is the Phantom a super hero? If he is, why? Is it the costume? And if he is, does that make Tarzan a super hero? I consider the Phantom a super hero because my definition is based upon the style of stories told. Tarzan is definitely not a super hero. Beased upon the above, I have tried to construct a data base of all super hero comics published between 1934 through 1969. It is based upon my collection of 60's comics; Overstreet Price Guide; and Mike Benton's Illustrated History of Superhero comics of the Golden Age and the Silver Age. Here is my portion of MJL comics. Its a work in progress, so enjoy it as you may. The format is: TITLE - issues - Year(s) of publication Character - issues he appeared in MJL BLACK HOOD COMICS 9-19 1943 - 1946 Black Hood 9-19 Hangman 9, 11 BLUE RIBBON COMICS 1-22 1939 - 1942 Bob Phantom 2-3 Fox 4-22 Mr Justice 9-22 Inferno 13-19 Captain Flagg 16-22 HANGMAN 2-8 1942 - 1943 Hangman 2-8 JACKPOT COMICS 1-9 1941 - 1943 Black Hood 1-9 Mr Justice 1-9 Steel Sterling 1-9 PEP COMICS 1-65 1940 - 1948 Blackhood 45-51, 59-30 Comet 1-17 Fireball 12-20 Hangman 17-47 Shield 1-65 SHIELD-WIZARD COMICS 1-13 1940 - 1944 Shield 1-13 Wizard 1-13 SPECIAL COMICS 1 1941 Comet 1 Hangman 1 TOP-NOTCH COMICS 1-44 1939 - 1944 Black Hood 9-44 Bob Phantom 3-25 Firefly 8-27 Shield 7 Wizard 1-27 ZIP COMICS 1-47 1940 - 1944 Black Jack 20-35 Inferno 10-13 Red Rube 39-47 Scarlet Avenger 1-17 Steel Sterling 1-47 Web 27-38 Mike Dwight Decker wrote: > mpaynor@mediaone.net wrote: > > > Here is what Archie published in the late 50's through the 60's.. > > > > 11/65 - 10/66 > > Mighty Crusaders 1 - 7 (Flyman, Flygirl, Comet, Shield, Black Hood) > > (Issue 3 had cameos of most if not all of the other heroes ever published by > > Archie) > > > > My memory may be failing me here, but wasn't Mighty Crusaders #4 the issue with > the story "Too Many Super-Heroes"?

Comics. For me, it was a brand-new world that was well-drawn, and had interesting characters, and I could get in on the ground floor without having to know anything about what has gone before (which is why I keep dropping Fantastic Four and many other titles from my monthly reading). Jason Troy (Fly), Rob the Alien (the Comet--ok, I thought that whole idea was rather lame, but anywho), Mr. Higgins (the Shield). All in all, after reading the Red Circle collection (all of which is now in the possesion of various people on this list) I wished that Impact had at least gone with SOME of the history, like maybe the old Shields, but alas... I am not in control over what happens. If everything happened the way I wanted it to, I'd probably get bored with it. By the way, when's Archie gonna let the Crusaders appear again? The Archie's Weird Mysteries #3 appearance wetted my appitite for more... And... I know that SOMEONE on here once mentioned they had seen some promotional art for the cancelled Spectrum comics line that never happened...oh well..

That's quite a long run for the first Shield. Have you read any of the stories? I intend to acquire a few soon for sampling. The Pep Shield was before even my time but I did enjoy him in FLY-MAN and later the Red Circle issues, particularly the stories drawn by Dick Ayers, I believe it was. Do you know who has the rights to the characters now? I suppose the odds are slim we'll see a revival anytime soon, the comic market being in the shape it is. Too bad.

Later on, he was turned to stone or something, and his son continued in his stead. Later on, he was revived. Then, Simon and Kirby (I think) created Lancelot Strong: The Shield. Same name, different character. Not really related to the original in any way shape, or form. Then along comes Impact. There were two Shields in the regular Impact continuity, Joe Higgins, and Stephen somethingorother. Also, a guy named Roger (his last name starts with a 'd') was referred to, and even appeared as the original Shield. In the Impact annuals, there were backup features with a couple other people who went under the name of the Shield. That's my history lesson for the day.

Ok, time for another history lesson (not very thorough, but at least it's a start...) Two black hoods...until you get to Impact...hehe, I love being the expert on Impact...I feel so giddy! In Impact, there was basically 3 people who took up the Black Hood mantle. The first one (name escapes me) died at the end of Black hood #1. A guy named Nate took it up for the next few issues, then got sickened by it. He threw the hood away (which incedentally was the source of any "powers" according to Impact), and some mob guy got it. Later on, Nate got it back, and eventually saved all the Impact characters from some long-distant planet or something in the Crucible mini-series. ok, no one really cares about this series, but I still enjoy ranting about it. hehe Brad ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com From drobbins@cpros.com Sun Jul 23 14:54:27 2000 Return-Path: Received: (qmail 18916 invoked from network); 23 Jul 2000 21:54:26 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.27) by m2.onelist.org with QMQP; 23 Jul 2000 21:54:26 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO cpros.com) (205.139.105.62) by mta1 with SMTP; 23 Jul 2000 21:54:26 -0000 Received: from default (gp-80.budget.net [208.152.27.80]) by cpros.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA17973 for ; Sun, 23 Jul 2000 14:54:24 -0700 Message-Id: <200007232154.OAA17973@cpros.com> Reply-To: To: Subject: Re: [mightycomics] Impact!

But, the series starts with the Army trying to figure out how the Original Shield's armor worked, and they tried to make a prototype. Joe Higgins was the one they had test it, but then his power-hungry father (a general) tried to have him executed for some reason I don't remember (the books are all of 3 feet away in comic boxes, but I'm lazy). Joe went AWOL. The first half of the series is him on the run, trying to keep from being taken by his father's cronies. When he finally does decide to turn himself in, his father thinks he has the whole thing figured out...until the Original Shield shows up and reveals the truth to whoever was in charge. After that, Joe Higgins had no need for the Shield armor (he was using it as protection), and the Army got Stephen Barnes to take up the mantle. In issue #15, Barnes was in a helecopter that went down and was figured dead. Higgins and the original Shield then designed a new uniform, and teamed up for the final issue...that should be the end, right??? Nope. In the Crusaders #8 (final issue), the Crusaders were somehow transported to an alien planet with no way of coming back. No one knew what happened to them, and it was thought that they all died. Higgins was a member. Then...in Crucible, the mini-series that was supposed to bring closure to the Impact line, a supposedly NEW Shield showed up...but, as it turns out, it was actually Stephen Barnes again. He was terribly decrepid out of uniform, but while in uniform, it somehow gave him strength, and I'm guessing there were TONS of robotics involved, but anywho...by the end of the series, Black Hood, The Comet, Josh "Steel" Sterling, and the Shield somehow retrieved the Crusaders freom their alien exile. End of story, everyone's happy...right? well...until they bring back the Impact line, I'm gonna pout.

Yes, there was a Hangman, but he was FAR different than any character you may remember. In Comet #5,6 a man who runs a corperate empire is attacked by people, and he loses his eyesight. His nickname was the corperate hangman. He was visited by an indian spirit-man, and was given a raven, and he cast some spell. Anywho...the man could see only what the Raven did. He somehow got this thing he could fly on (like Green Goblin, except this one was like a cloud) and he avenged himself. That was it. If anyone wants me to actually give some specifics on any Impact stuff, let me know, and I can take some time and get a detailed history of the stuff going. God knows I have everything I need...all the issues, posters, cards, etc...

I wonder why they just didn't stay true to the original version. Same with the others you've talked out. Maybe they felt a need to 'update' the MLJ characters for 'modern' readers? Which othe publishers do routinely, of course. Unfortunately, a lot of the time the 'updated' versions are nowhere near as entertaining or as popular as the versions they replace. There's an old say: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :) David From mperry@drew.edu Mon Jul 24 14:26:44 2000 Return-Path: Received: (qmail 24386 invoked from network); 24 Jul 2000 21:26:44 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.26) by m1.onelist.org with QMQP; 24 Jul 2000 21:26:44 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO pengo.drew.edu) (199.95.160.208) by mta1 with SMTP; 24 Jul 2000 21:26:43 -0000 Received: (from nobody@localhost) by pengo.drew.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) id RAA07801 for mightycomics@egroups.com; Mon, 24 Jul 2000 17:26:34 -0400 X-Authentication-Warning: pengo.drew.edu: nobody set sender to mperry@drew.edu using -f Message-ID: <964473994.397cb48a7452b@webmail.drew.edu> Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 17:26:34 -0400 To: Subject: Re: [mightycomics] Impact!

They were starting anew with a 'brand-new' universe. They pretty much severed any ties to the old continuum. They wanted a series free from any tangled history that could be confusing to readers. worked for me. SECONDLY.................... >I remember being distinctly underwhelmed by the Impact BLACK HOOD.

Whichever you find first is usually the ones you like best. Truth be told, the only Impact series I really didn't care for was the Jaguar. I liked the Black Hood series...but I think the best stuff done with it was in the final mini-series, Crucible. Here's the main thing: you hear a song on the radio by some new group...you KNOW you've heard it before, many years ago. You KNOW the original version is far superior to this new one. Try convincing the teenie-boppers of that. It can't be done. To the people who think that Brittany Spears was the first person to do "I Can't Get No Satisfaction", you'll have a hard time convincing them that the original version, or even the Stones Version was better (Otis Redding wrote it and did it first). It's whichever they are introduced to first that stays with them. And you get a die-hard Impact Comics fan (me) and you'll be hard pressed to convince me otherwise...hehe I like the Mighty line, but to me it's almost non-related, except for the names. I try not to compare, for fear that my favorites will fall short.

So that's why she didn't appeal to you. I guess we're at opposite ends of the spectrum on 'female superheroes'; I don't mind them if they're written well and make for entertaining stories. And, too, Fly-Girl has always been one of my all-time faves, right up there with Jaguar and Fly. (Particularly when drawn by Rosenberger. :) I seem to recall that Red Circle did a retcon and made the 'original' Jaguar a woman; whey they did that in a male-dominated society is beyond me, other than the writer was trying for a PC angle. IMO they're whole new take was woefully lame. I was also disappointed Jaguar wasn't included in the original Mighty Crusaders. Yeah, I like Shield and Black Hood and Comet, but it was an ovesight of the first degree to exclude the Jaguar. And I have a question. Recently I saw an issue entitled, I believe, SUPER HEROES & SUPER VILLAINS. It had stories in it about the Fly, Black Hood and some others.

There was a change of writers when The Fly became Fly-Man and the Mighty Crusaders thing started. Most of the earlier Fly and Jaguar stories were written by a fellow named Bernstein, while Fly-Man was written by Jerry Seigel. If I were to make a guess why Jaguar was not included in the Crusaders lineup, it was probably due to the similarity of powers of Fly-Man.

Oh, sure, they both could fly and were immensely strong, but the Fly's powers, after all, are 'insect based', if you will, and Jaguar's were 'animal based'.

Actually, I thought the Impact JAGUAR made a lot of sense, since we usually do associate feline characteristics more closely with females than we do with males, and the jaguar is a big cat native to the jungles of South America. You're right about the Portugese thing, though. Typical comic book error. I didn't find her story any more confusing or mysterious than say, the Fly's or the Shield's. The Impact line could probably have used a few more female characters, given that the only ones from the previous series (under Archie) were Fly-Girl (an extremely derivative knockoff of her male counterpart, ala Supergirl) and Darkling (a typical 80's-ish mystical character with pretty vague and undefined powers).

I'd forgotten how wonderfully silly some of the stories were. Then again, some were positively great. Question: Was the Black Hood referred to as the 'Dark Knight' before Batman? I'd guess yes, by a long shot. Do any of you have favorites moments of 'silliness'? Or, conversely, favorite 'cool' moments? The former, for me, would have to be in FLY MAN 35 when lightning bolts shot out of Phantasmon's nose. LOL. And 'what' kind of name is "Alieog-Laboids"??? My coolest moment? I don't know. There's tons I liked. Maybe the Fly/Fly-Girl/Jaguar teamup drawn by Rosenberger.

I've gone ahead and started up a new list which I think might interest some of y'all. It's called SCANAMANIACS, and it's devoted to scan addicts of comic and sci-fi material. One of the greatest things about the Internet is the interconnectivity it has afforded each and every one of us - I figured that surely those of us who collect scans can pool our resources and improve our collections through communal sharing. I have placed a restriction against x-rated material, but otherwise anything comic or sc-fi related, be it artwork or photography, is welcome. Since I have decided to allow R-rated material, I have placed this list in the Adult section, so you will have to be at least 18 to join.

A short bio or something of that sort would be nice. They include the following:<< The Wizard (and why'd he become a bad guy?)-Blaine Whitney, born with a super brain (which ran in his family as seen in Shield-Wizard #1). Had mental powers which kids found vague so he invented a suit that made him another grade-Z Superman. As I recall he became evil (along with Hangman) in Mighty Crusaders. No real explanation was given, they just decided to be evil. Firefly-Harley Hudson, discovered a way to duplicate the powers of insects (to some degree). Goofy powers, but he had some of the best stories of the second-string MLJ heroes. Inferno- No secret identity or origin. In the 40s if you were with the circus it was just assumed you had some kind of super-power. It worked even better than going to Tibet. Anyway, he started out as a Steel Sterling villain but saw the error of his ways and after paying his debt to society he got his own strip and a spiffy costume. Fireball- Ted Tyler, a fireman who got immunity from fire and the ability to throw fireballs from a chemical or something. In my opinion this guy was one of the least interesting MLJ heroes. Cap. Flag-Tom Townsend, on the other hand, was one of MLJs best. He was a worthless playboy until he and his father were kidnapped by the Hand. After being tortured and seeing his father killed, Tom was saved by a giant eagle that had flown into the house by mistake. The eagle took Tom to the mountains where he regained his strength. One day Yank (the eagle) brought a flag back, which Tom took as a sign. He fashioned a costume from the flag and went out to avenge his father. Bob Phantom- Walt Whitney never got an origin. For a while he had some fairly ridiculous powers like starting tornados and stopping bullets (my guess is he was raised by circus folk). Before too long he settled for just appearing in a puff of smoke.

And one who hasn't been seen in over 60 years. He might be worth bringing back just for the heartburn his name ("The Marvel") might cause in certain quarters. By the way, I had a little trouble following that story because of something a previous owner of the comic had done. That is, in the story, Scoop Cody is a young reporter deputized by the police to help investigate a crime involving a scoundrel of stereotypical European count. Scoop was drawn as a clean-shaven young man, the Count with a monocle and a goatee. For some reason, the previous owner of the comic had gone through and carefully drawn a monocle and a goatee on Scoop Cody in every panel he appeared in. And so well that I didn't even realize at first that the comic had been doctored. Made the story very hard to follow, because in a lot of panels you couldn't tell it was Scoop instead of the Count. Strange... By the way, Blue Ribbon #3 was dated January, 1940. Issue #4 was dated June, 1940. Quite a gap for what was supposed to be a monthly comic. And when it reappeared, it had a mostly different line-up of strips. I just wonder if the book was cancelled outright for a while, and only brought back later as a second thought? --Dwight Decker From ltucker@rt66.com Fri Aug 04 19:25:38 2000 Return-Path: Received: (qmail 27829 invoked from network); 5 Aug 2000 02:25:37 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.142) by m1.onelist.org with QMQP; 5 Aug 2000 02:25:37 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO Rt66.com) (198.59.162.1) by mta1 with SMTP; 5 Aug 2000 02:25:37 -0000 Received: from rt66.com (pmm01.rt66.com [206.206.85.51]) by Rt66.com (8.9.3/8.9.1) with ESMTP id UAA15746; Fri, 4 Aug 2000 20:25:32 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <398B7C48.D9AF90D6@rt66.com> Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2000 20:30:33 -0600 X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (Win98; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: kirby-l , silver , musictalk , Laurie Anderson , wood-l , Forgotten , timely , mightycomics , jbuja@sprint.ca, Chris & Marie , Darrell , Debi DiMeo , Gene Kehoe , Kelly & Faith Corbitt , laura roberts , Phil Scime , RUSS PAINTER , Steve Hecht Subject: Long Time Coming (OT) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Lyle Tucker Well, it might not be the end of the world, but it feels like a pretty big thing to me!

There would have to be at least one issue and possibly two in the pipeline. Unless the publishers were already planning to suspend publication for a month or two just to see what the response was and the delay went a lot longer than planned when the saw that response. My guess, based on what I've seen in MLJ comics I've collected and in checklists of issues and contents, is that the editor was working two months ahead. From what I know of how comic books work now, two months doesn't seem like long enough to get sales figures from the field for a given issue, but that's the impression I get of how MLJ worked in the early '40s. There seems to be a two-month time-lag for things to happen, and there's fairly consistenly two stories left over in several cases after books are cancelled. But you could be right about why Blue Ribbon lay dormant for so long. It's just that there probably isn't anybody left who remembers what happened to explain it. What I do know is that Blue Ribbon was the first monthly MLJ anthology title and had the rockiest start, although they all did miss months occasionally and only Pep lasted over the long haul. Later in the Golden Age, there were several instances of a book getting cancelled and the remaining inventory stories used somewhere else (Hangman stories used in Black Hood, Black Hood stories used in Pep, True Life Stories from Blue Ribbon into Top Notch). My guess, as I mention above, is that they were working two months ahead most of the time, judging by the number of inventory stories that turned up in unusual places. But still...the obvious inventory stories that were used elsewhere are nowhere close to the number of strips that bit the dust when anthology books were cancelled. I wonder if there were unpublished stories from the minor serties in Blue Ribbon #3 that never did see the light of day, and were just written off in favor of new series with more potential? I suspect, too, that some books were published knowing full well this was the last issue. The Corporal Collins strip (but no other) in Blue Ribbon #22 as much as acknowledges it's the last issue; Zip #47 has two Steel Sterling and two Red Rube strips as though using up inventory. Shield-Wizard #13 was a quarter late and so awful in art and story (I think it's the issue with a cover recycled from a Bob Montana Pep cover hardly a year old) that I suspect it was published as one last issue mainly to use up inventory. --Dwight Decker From LKFine@aol.com Wed Aug 09 00:54:48 2000 Return-Path: Received: (qmail 7626 invoked from network); 9 Aug 2000 07:54:48 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.142) by m3.onelist.org with QMQP; 9 Aug 2000 07:54:48 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-r17.mx.aol.com) (152.163.225.71) by mta1 with SMTP; 9 Aug 2000 07:54:48 -0000 Received: from LKFine@aol.com by imo-r17.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v27.12.) id a.57.99d0231 (7093) for ; Wed, 9 Aug 2000 03:54:43 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <57.99d0231.26c26843@aol.com> Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2000 03:54:43 EDT Subject: Re: [mightycomics] Anyone here?

I would just like to thank you all for being so talkative as of late! I was beginning to think we was all dead or something! Anywho, I found (I don't remember how--may have been through something said on this list) a Mighty Crusaders webpage on the 'net, and it was pretty cool. It focuses on the Red Circle/Archie Adventure versions, but it's still neat. There is also profiles on the Impact versions. The funnest thing about this site is the Crusaders stories the guy has written and posted on there. It all takes place after the events in Crucible (the Impact finale mini-series), and there is a three-part crossover that involves the Red Circle Mighty Crusaders! It's like a JLA/JSA; Crisis on multiple earths story, but it's still cool. The website is: http://www.alltel.net/~sinajax/crusaders.html One thing I am wondering about is this: Is there any more Mighty/MLJ/Red Circle/Impact webpages out there? Anyone have a listing of them? Also, what's the home page for this list? I know I signed up via a MLJ webpage, but I have no clue where it is now. oh well. Oh, and to the guy who works at Archie Comics: Are there any plans to put the Crusaders in the Archie's Weird Mysteries TV show? I know the Halloween episode is coming out on video next month, so I was curious. Anyway, I'm rambling now.

Hangman Comics lasted through #8, then became Black Hood Comics at #9.

Well, I am STILL trying in vain to find the old Mighty Comics site I remember finding a while back, in fact, I even found the old URL, but according to Geocities (which is a TERRIBLE place, believe me), it no longer exists. Here's what I would like to suggest. (I'm in for it now)... I am willing to start to build a new Mighty webpage, but I need some help with images and all that jazz, for I don't have many pictures (which is part of what I'd want on there) to display. I'd also like to (eventually) get some synopsis pages going on each individual title from Pep #1 through the Crucible #6 (the whole Spectrum--pun intended). Some character pages, along with pictures, extra fan-art, you know, the COMPLETE works! I don't have NEAR the knowledge on the older series that many of you have (which is evident by my silence on the topics), so I'd appriciate some help when it's ready. If anyone is willing to help in this ordeal, I'd gladly start the process. Well?

I think the answer to the Wizard question is that he was a character the MLJ staff was trying very hard to push at first. He was the headline feature of Top-Notch, arguably one of MLJ's two first super-heroes since he debuted the same month as Bob Phantom in MLJ's second month of existence (even though he wore a magician's outfit at first), and crossed over with the Shield in each other's strips a time or two. (What Marvel did in the '60s, MLJ was trying in 1940!) It probably made perfect sense (to somebody) to feature the two top headliner stars of two of the monthly anthology books in their own quarterly title, thus Shield-Wizard was born. Maybe the Wizard got his name in the title not because he WAS popular, but because MLJ was trying to MAKE him popular? In hindsight, it would seem to me that Steel Sterling, the star of Zip Comics, would have been the stronger hero to feature with the Shield, but it may not have been so obvious at the time, and anyway, the point may have been to promote the Wizard, whom the staff clearly thought at first had the makings of a star. Later it becomes apparent that the Wizard is a hero in trouble, revamped to give him a more regulation super-hero costume and saddled with a boy buddy while losing a lot of what made his strip unique in the first place (like when he invents a super-duper device and there's a diagram showing how it works with typewritten captions pasted into the artwork). A similar example of MLJ's promotional thinking can be seen in the line-up of Jackpot, another quarterly title, designed to feature the top strips of the monthly anthology comics: Steel Sterling from Zip, Mr. Justice from Blue Ribbon, the Black Hood from Top-Notch, and Sgt. Boyle from Pep. (Sgt. Boyle!? Well, the Shield was already in a quarterly anthology with his name on it and the Hangman hadn't happened yet IIRC.) MLJ was really cautious about new books, and tentative about single-hero titles. (Even the Hangman's book was called "Special Comics" for the first issue.) This leads us to the question of who the first-string heroes were, and maybe that can be answered by listing characters MLJ thought highly enough of to showcase in the quarterlies (Shield-Wizard, Jackpot, and Hangman/Black Hood). Which gives us: Shield, Wizard, Black Hood, Mr. Justice, Steel Sterling, and the Hangman. (And even at that, the Wizard is questionable. Promoted hard at first, he never went anywhere.) As for the most excellent second-stringers, I'm particularly fond of the Web and Blackjack, with considerable affection for the Fox and Captain Flag. --Dwight Decker From KRIDERZO@aol.com Wed Aug 16 19:07:14 2000 Return-Path: Received: (qmail 12824 invoked from network); 17 Aug 2000 02:07:14 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.142) by m2.onelist.org with QMQP; 17 Aug 2000 02:07:14 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-r11.mx.aol.com) (152.163.225.65) by mta1 with SMTP; 17 Aug 2000 02:07:13 -0000 Received: from KRIDERZO@aol.com by imo-r11.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v27.12.) id a.d3.8afe6cd (8479) for ; Wed, 16 Aug 2000 22:07:01 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 22:07:01 EDT Subject: Re: [mightycomics] WOW To: mightycomics@egroups.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 5.0 for Windows sub 118 From: KRIDERZO@aol.com my favorite second stringer has to be Capt.

JACKPOT, on the other hand, was more of an example of success by multiplication. Combining several already relatively-popular features in one-title could only result in a title with an overall stronger attraction by combining the established audiences of those strips. In this way, JACKPOT was MLJ's answer to National's WORLD'S FINEST, Timely's ALL-SELECT, Fox's BIG 3, or Fawcett's AMERICA'S BEST. Seems like almost every sizable publisher of hero-titles had a book like this on the stands in the '40s. << MLJ was really cautious about new books, and tentative about single-hero titles.

The fact that his book got taken over by BLACK HOOD seems to indicate that MLJ might have been a little reticent about pushing him, even though he *was* obviously popular with kids, yet I get the feeling MLJ might have had cold feet about the character, since he may have seemed a bit too "gruesome" an image for a hero. Just like with Batman at DC, the early, bloodthirsty elements of strips like The Comet and The Hangman seemed to get toned done pretty early. Maybe complaints from parents were in the air even at that early date in comics history.

Dwight Decker's suggestion of anyone in the anthologies makes sense, but I would take it a step further and add characters like Captain Flag (who would otherwise be my pick) and the Web (who would probably be #2, those early Cassone stories are great). They may have been short lived but were at least briefly the stars of their respective books. Very briefly in the case of the Web, but he was prominently featured on the covers and led off the book until MLJ gave up on him. These characters had a clear advantage over the real "second-stringers" like Inferno and Captain Commando, getting longer stories with some of the better MLJ artists. That's just my opinion of course, and it has obvious flaws. Those of you that got the recent Police #1 reprint could point out that I just declared Firebrand a "first-stringer" over at Quality (a distinction he richly deserves IMHO). But that's the problem when you're dealing with a company whose "first-stringers" have been long since forgotten by most of the world. So don't let this stop you from voting for whoever you consider valid, just remember that when I tell you who I picked (to the delight of whichever one of you is still reading this thing). The one, the only, the Firefly. He overcame his also-ran status with gloriously goofy stories about giant rats, pied pipers, and a final fling with Sheba, Queen of Ethiopia (oh, if only there'd been a real Top-Notch #28). He also was graced with the best art Warren "Bobby" King could muster. The guy did tons of work for MLJ, but only looked good on this strip. His Black Hood looked anemic in Jackpot, his Captain Flag was a huge dropoff from Streeter, and the filler strips he did looked like chicken scratches. For the record Top-Notch had, by far, the best second-stringers.

The Comet definitely got toned down. In Pep #13 he said "I've never harmed a man, intentionally, in my life". Clearly the guys got a short term memory problem. Hangman, on the other hand, got more and more gruesome as he went along. The stories started out pretty tame (albeit with freakishly bad art), got more grisly when Lucey took over, and then Fuje turned the strip into a grotesque fever dream (a very entertaining fever dream, but still a fever dream).

For example, my copy of Blue Ribbon #21, cover-dated February 1942, has a dealer stamp for a Brooklyn newsstand dated December 10, 1941. (The Wednesday right after Pearl Harbor. I've often paused to reflect what the mood in that newsstand was like the day that comic went on sale.) The usual reason given for publishers post-dating periodicals like that is so they'll be displayed on the stands that much longer before being taken off and sent back to the distributor's warehouse to be pulped, but it's always seemed to me that if all magazines are post-dated, nothing is gained. The two-month rule indicates that all four of the MLJ anthology titles saw their first issue while 1939 was on the calendars. Zip #1, the last anthology title to be introduced, was cover-dated February, 1940, so it would have appeared in December 1939. --Dwight Decker From positronic@aol.com Thu Aug 17 02:11:43 2000 Return-Path: Received: (qmail 3880 invoked from network); 17 Aug 2000 09:11:42 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.27) by m1.onelist.org with QMQP; 17 Aug 2000 09:11:42 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-r16.mx.aol.com) (152.163.225.70) by mta1 with SMTP; 17 Aug 2000 09:11:42 -0000 Received: from Positronic@aol.com by imo-r16.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v27.12.) id a.cb.894e301 (3966) for ; Thu, 17 Aug 2000 05:11:37 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2000 05:11:37 EDT Subject: Re: [mightycomics] WOW To: mightycomics@egroups.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 5.0 for Windows sub 119 From: positronic@aol.com In a message dated 08/17/2000 3:18:17 AM Eastern Daylight Time, LKFine@aol.com writes: << n a message dated 8/16/00 11:28:24 PM Pacific Daylight Time, positronic@aol.com writes: << Just like with Batman at DC, the early, bloodthirsty elements of strips like The Comet and The Hangman seemed to get toned done pretty early. >> Gotta disagree with that one. The Comet definitely got toned down. In Pep #13 he said "I've never harmed a man, intentionally, in my life". Clearly the guys got a short term memory problem. Hangman, on the other hand, got more and more gruesome as he went along. The stories started out pretty tame (albeit with freakishly bad art), got more grisly when Lucey took over, and then Fuje turned the strip into a grotesque fever dream (a very entertaining fever dream, but still a fever dream). That lasted right up to his last Pep appearance. -Paris >> You must be right on Hangman. I was going strictly by subjective impressions, and the fact that I found it puzzling that the character was apparently popular at first, yet was supplanted in his own mag by the (less-violent, or at least "less sinister") Black Hood. Theoretically, they would both seem to represent "executioner-style" vigilantes (drawing from the imagery and names alone), yet in practice we know such was not the case. Turning your original question around, it would seem you might be able to identify the first-stringers by longevity (i.e. how many installments did the strip run in its MLJ incarnation) alone. Anybody have the stats? I would bet Shield and Black Hood would be pretty close for the top spot.

(The number in parentheses is the number of stories the character appeared in.) 1. The Shield (99) 2. The Black Hood (82) 3. The Hangman (57) 4. Steel Sterling (57) 5. The Wizard (54) 6.

The Press Guardian (11) 16. The Fireball (9) 17. Mr. Satan (9) 18. Captain Flag (7) 19. Inferno (7) Nolan also lists the magicians Zambini (35) and Kardak (28), Roy (5) and Dusty (9) singly and collectively (19), and Madam Satan (6). Apparently these stats are for solo stories and don't include guest appearances in other strips (besides occasional x-overs -- there's a really strange story in Shield-Wizard where Dusty has a birthday party and the Black Hood, Steel Sterling, Sgt. Boyle, and Pokey Oakey show up -- the Comet was in the first Hangman story in Pep #17 long enough to die). --Dwight Decker From cobb78@hotmail.com Tue Aug 22 13:32:50 2000 Return-Path: Received: (qmail 32373 invoked from network); 22 Aug 2000 20:32:50 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.26) by m4.onelist.org with QMQP; 22 Aug 2000 20:32:50 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO hotmail.com) (216.33.149.198) by mta1 with SMTP; 22 Aug 2000 20:32:50 -0000 Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Tue, 22 Aug 2000 06:03:06 -0700 Received: from 172.155.62.39 by lw4fd.law4.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Tue, 22 Aug 2000 GMT X-Originating-IP: [172.155.62.39] To: mightycomics@egroups.com Subject: A NEW (to me) Question Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2000 13:03:06 GMT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 22 Aug 2000 13:03:06.0717 (UTC) FILETIME=[505AC8D0:01C00C39] From: "Bradley Cobb" Hey guys!

Brad >> Well, a lot of this is probably lost in the night of time, but some things are known, if scattered through fanzines and various reference books published in the 30 years comics fandom has been around. Mike Benton's THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF SUPERHERO COMICS OF THE GOLDEN AGE (Taylor, 1992) has some information. It states that the Comet was both written and drawn by Jack Cole in his early appearances, which suggests that Cole created the character. The Hangman was drawn at first by George Storm (a pioneering newspaper adventure strip artist) and written early on by a pulp writer named Cliff Campbell. Who actually CREATED the Hangman is unclear. My guess is that the unsung genius behind MLJ was the editor, Harry Shorten, who is credited with co-creating the Shield with Irving Novick. As editor, Shorten would have been overseeing the entire line, keeping an eye on industry trends, and commissioning new features to fill niches that opened up. I can easily imagine him deciding that the Comet was going nowhere and to replace the strip with something in line with Batman, and having the inspiration to kill the Comet not only figuratively but literally, and lead into the new strip.

They all came out in one clump at a New York show in the early 1980's. They were purchased by one person who I got them from, one at a time, over the years.

The animated "Weird Mysteries" TV show is no longer in production, however, you'll be happy to know that I just finished writing an issue of the comic where the Crusaders once again team with Archie and his friends-- and this time, the teenagers' super-alter egos (the Super Teens) become honorary members (it all makes perfect sense within the story). That might be issue #14. As soon as I find out when it will hit comic shops, I'll let you know. Should be around mid-2001...

It's called The Golden-Age/Silver-Age message board, and it's located at http://www.comicboards.com/gsmb/ It has some features like a links section, a frequently updated list of new reprints that are coming out, defintions of the comics "ages" (or eras), an editing function to correct messages after you send them, and a banner pic that gets changed every week or so. Right now I started a "Creator of the Week" feature in an attempt to generate some more discussion on the board. Basically any comics prior to the 1980s (or prior to "Crisis" if you want to really stretch it) is considered on-topic on the board. So, I'm sending out this plug so that maybe the board will get some more activity as a result. There's also an "Archie Comics" board there, and I put up the banner that the board has been using lately, showing the Simon & Kirby's The Fly. Thanks for your time!

The project is in the early stages of development, a representative from Robert Zemeckis' ImageMovers production company told Comics2Film. A final draft script reportedly has been written by Chris and Paul Weitz (Antz, The Klumps). The Fly is the story of a boy who finds a magic ring from an alien race that can turn him into a super-hero powerhouse able to fly. He later had a female companion, Fly Girl and joined the Mighty Crusaders, a super-team. The Fly has been rumored to be the inspiration for Spider-Man. Cool....a movie means action figures, too......

This is something I'm doing for fun more than anything else (posterity is always a by-product) and will share the scans with anyone who might like them (I plan on burning the results to CD, when I collect enough to warrant it, and making copies free to interested parties). eBay will surely be a large source for me, but it, of course, is limited (plus, I prefer larger and clearer scans than often appear), so I'm appealing to the fans on this list to help me out, if they're so inclined.

Where do you draw the line between fanzines, semiprozines, and prozines? Does it have to be below a certain circulation, or only about a particular subject, like comics? I mean, this is a pretty big category potenially, depending on how broadly you want to define it. It could involve thousands of individual titles and tens of thousands of individual issues.

The response and tips have been very heartening and helpful. I'm afraid I don't have time at the moment to respond to everyone ('though I will!), as my wife and I leave tomorrow for a well-deserved vacation (been through some rough times lately). I would like to clarify a few things before I head out, however: 1) I am primarily after fanzines which focus primarily on comics. I know this is a grey area, but that can't be helped. Many mags tend to cover several areas (movies, science fiction, mystery, pulps, etc), and that is fine - the mag doesn't have to be devoted *solely* to comics - but I would prefer that the main thrust of the mag is in devotion to comics.The mag can be centered completely on one character or group of characters or comic company, or it can run the full gamut of comic interest. As sad as it is for me to say, I must allow what is surely the trillion and one X-Men fanzines their due! Ack! 2) Whereas my main interest is in American fanzines, I will gladly accept scans of foreign fanzines, providing, again, that the main thrust is comics. 3) If at all possible, I would prefer that scans be sent to me on disc (3 1/2" floppy or CD. I will be happy to re- imburse postage if requested), as download time can be rather prohibitive, especially if several folks send their scans at once. If this is not practical, however, please let me know before you send any scans by email and we'll work out the logistics. My physical address for either mags or discs is: Lyle Tucker Box 1756 Roswell, NM 88202-1756 Once again, thanks to those who've shown a desire to help out with this loony quest! It'll be interesting to see just how damn many scans we do end up with! --lyle tucker Visit my ART SITE: it's virtually painless and it's FREE! http://home.earthlink.net/~rivards/tucker.htm From ltucker@rt66.com Fri Jan 12 11:36:12 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: ltucker@rt66.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@egroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-6_3_1_3); 12 Jan 2001 19:36:11 -0000 Received: (qmail 17260 invoked from network); 12 Jan 2001 19:36:09 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.27) by m8.onelist.org with QMQP; 12 Jan 2001 19:36:09 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO Rt66.com) (198.59.162.1) by mta2 with SMTP; 12 Jan 2001 19:36:09 -0000 Received: from rt66.com (pmf07.rt66.com [206.206.85.27]) by Rt66.com (8.9.3/8.9.1) with ESMTP id MAA13660; Fri, 12 Jan 2001 12:36:03 -0700 (MST) Message-ID: <3A5F5CE8.5E0D5C81@rt66.com> Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 12:37:12 -0700 X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.75 [en] (Win95; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: kirby Subject: OT Fanzine - one last thing Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Lyle Tucker When I get back from vacation, I will post a list of all the fanzine covers I already have, and will post a running updated list that can be checked on my website.

I am pleased to announce that I've had the opportunity to bring back the Mighty Crusaders once more (you may recall I wrote a full-length "Archie's Weird Mysteries" story guest-starring the Mighty Crusaders in issue #3, as well as a short Weird Mysteries story where the characters guest-starred for a give-away comic-- that might turn up on the Archie Comics website at some point). At any rate, the next issue to feature the Crusaders will be "Archie's Weird Mysteries #14," which should hit comic stores in late May/early June. Here is a synopsis: "The Return of the Mighty Crusaders": Because the fans demanded it: after their triumphant return in ARCHIE'S WEIRD MYSTERIES #3, those daring do-gooders are back-- but they might not be for long! When the Eraser perfects a device that sends every Crusader except Black Jack into limbo, Black Jack must travel back to Archie's dimension and enlist the aid of none other than the Super Teens to be substitute Crusaders. He'll need all the help he can get, as the Monster Master and his scary army of Monstroids join forces with the evil Eraser! Can Pureheart, Capt. Hero, Superteen, Evilheart, Miss Vanity and Mighty Moose rise to the challenge of rescuing the world's mightiest heroes? SCRIPT: Paul Castiglia. ART: Fernando Ruiz.

This will be a sort of loosely-defined quest, the criteria being that the magazine involved should have comics as basically their main area of interest (either generally or specifically; ie WIZARD - general - or JACK KIRBY COLLEC- TOR - specific). I am including prozines into this mix, as my main reasoning is simply to document the plethora of mags devoted to the genre. I will focus mainly on American mags, but will gladly accept scans of foreign zines, too. I will include the odd magazine that doesn't necessarily normally focus on comics, but which might deviate for one issue to spotlight them (such as a recent issue of ART ISSUES, which features a great Kirby cover and article). I will also include, I believe, those magazines that have been devoted to newspaper comic strips, as I have always felt that they share a deep kinship with comic books (often spot- lighting the same characters). I am also including self-produced comics, especially those obviously produced on a shoestring, but at the moment am unsure of whether to include such solidly-produced ones as Bill Black's AC comics or Ron Frantz's ACE line (knowing me, I will probably include these later, but for now I would rather con- centrate on the smaller more obviously amateur ones). I am asking for help in this endeavor, as there is no way I could ever amass a collection to do this quest justice. I will be happy to pay Book Rate/Insured postage both ways for those who feel secure enough in lending me the actual items. I would prefer that those sending scans do so by floppy or CD (for which I will re-imburse costs), but will be happy to accept them (slowly, in a pre-worked out fashion) as attachements to e-mail, if this if more practical at your end. I am also looking for sites to which I might be steered for scans. In the end, I will be happy to place all the scans I collect onto CD(s) and will be more than happy to share these with folks, free of charge. This is totally a labor of love.

Very nice book. A few errors in there concerning some comic references, but I place that more to the fact that the author died before final revising and editing of the text. Covers just about every genre of the Golden Age from Funnies on Parade through to the death of EC. Good to see a history that doesn't just cover superhero stuff. Western, Crime, Si-Fi, Horror, Romance, Funny Animal, Good Girl and Jungle comics all get chapters. I found it to a nice companion to Jacobs and Jones' Silver Age history, "The Comic Book Heroes", (But without the annoying personal opinions of the authors).

I'm just about to reread it again, so I might try and put up a review about it if anyone is interested. The good thing about it is that it doesn't just go into the comics, but the behind the scenes stories as well. As well as the particular theme running through of the build up towards "Seduction of the Innocent" and the eventual senate hearings. The Author was a fan of comics from childhood and spent two years conducting interviews with various "Golden Age" professionals. Plus there's a great forward by Joe Kubert about how he started in comics. :) As to MLJ, Archie gets quite a bit in later chapters, but the Hangman gets about two pages as well as some nifty artwork shown. Not much else is mentioned about the other heroes, but then there's so much info from 30 years of history to fit in, that it is understandable though a shame. From my understanding of the way the book is written, he tries to hit all the "high points" of the Golden Age, both about the comics, publishers and events, rather than try and mention every single character created. So for example, Superman and Batman get quite a few pages about their beginnings, but not much else about their history through the Golden Age. The Shield doesn't get a mention, even though he was the first patriotic hero, but Captain America gets quite a bit, My guess being that he was more popular back then.

Let me know if you're interestd (I accidentally won the bidding on TWO auctions on Ebay for the book...Wow, I'm organized...) also, did you happen to try to get in contact with the Specific Barnes and Noble that you went to? It's possible that they've made it a bargain book, explaining their lack of a listing in the webpage. Just a thought. Brad Cobb ============================================================ While in Florida the other month, I stopped at a Barnes and Noble and noticed a nice coffee table book about comics that I *thought* was called "The Golden Era of The Comic Book". I didn't catch the author's name, but I don't think it was one of the prominent ones (Goulart, Gifford, Rovin, Benton, etc). I didn't pick it up as it was rather large and I didn't want to weigh down my carry-on. Well, since then, I've looked high and low to find the damn thing (even looking on B & N's website to no avail!) and can't locate the puppy! Anyone have any idea of what book it is I'm looking for? --lyle tucker Visit my ART SITE: it's virtually painless and it's FREE! http://home.earthlink.net/~rivards/tucker.htm _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com From ltucker@rt66.com Sun Apr 22 17:06:01 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: LTucker@rt66.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_1_2); 23 Apr 2001 00:06:01 -0000 Received: (qmail 43579 invoked from network); 23 Apr 2001 00:06:01 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.142) by m8.onelist.org with QMQP; 23 Apr 2001 00:06:01 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO Rt66.com) (198.59.162.1) by mta3 with SMTP; 23 Apr 2001 00:06:00 -0000 Received: from rt66.com (pmf15.rt66.com [206.206.85.35]) by Rt66.com (8.9.3/8.9.1) with ESMTP id SAA14161 for ; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 18:05:49 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <3AE372AA.B5C8A14A@rt66.com> Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 18:09:14 -0600 X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.75 [en] (Win95; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [mightycomics] OT - Book ID help References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Lyle Tucker "Bradley, Jessica, and Paul Cobb" wrote: > Well, I'm not sure about the book you're looking for either, but I've got an > extra copy of "All In Color For a Dime" if that'll help you, or anyone else. > Let me know if you're interestd (I accidentally won the bidding on TWO > auctions on Ebay for the book...Wow, I'm organized...)

I have no clue. It was a sheer fluke that I discovered our favorite heroes are going to be in #14 and I've been bugging the local comic shop guy about it ever since so he won't forget. In fact, I was in such need of a Jaguar/Fly boost that I broke done and bought all the issues of the Impact line from a few years back. I suppose they figured the characters needed 'upgrading', and in that context they did an okay job. But it sure wasn't the Jaguar/Fly/Black Hood/etc. I grew up with. Such a waste. So many great characters. So much potential. And no one is taking advantage of it. I'm really looking forward to their Archie appearance. If only it were an ongoing thing.

Email me here: shawn@pepcomics.com sclay@insight.rr.com TO Dwight- I think I've found a bigger MLJ geek than myself; it's you! Anyway, I started reading Archie's when I was about 5. 22 years later, I now have a decent collection of MLJ's and Archies. Please check out my website here: www.pepcomics.com Cool DNS name, eh? I about crapped when I realized it was available so I paid for it. That server is in my basement, so I can basically host anything I want, with no limitations. Please check it out; I hope you're still around on this group!

I sure know I've spent enough years reading, collecting, praising Archie comics, that it would suck to have a dispute with them over something silly like a name. Let me ask you this; if you were looking for a new DNS name, and pepcomics.com was available (assuming you loved MLJ/Archie stuff) you'd have gotten it, right? I actually did send every name I could find from www.archiecomics.com and sent them an email telling them I was putting up a 40's tribute site. 4 months have passed and I haven't heard anything. Here's a question: Are they still putting out the "mightycrusader" title? Maybe that's why they wanted rights to it. Oh yeah if you go to "www.mightycrusders.com" it resolves to archiecomics.com. Check it out. Maybe there's more might crusader stuff up their sleeve; who knows. Thanks!

Question: Pep #22 has a cover date of December. December 1941. On the cover is both the NAZI and the Japanese "Rising Sun" logo on the spiked boot that the Shield is preventing "stomping" America. However, I thought that books were on the shelf 2 months prior to their cover date; i.e. the December issue would've come out in October 1941. As you all know, in October, 1941, the U.S. and Japanese were not at war. Anyone have an idea? This is puzzling, because if you look at the April, 1942 cover (Pep #26), it reads "Remember Pearl Harbor". This would make sense, considering the lead time to create the cover plus the 2 month shelf life. So it would make sense that Pep #26 was on the shelf around February, 1942.

Even if I end up having to surrender the name eventually, the content will not change. I just wish I had time to scan everything and put it up there. I also have these books ready to read (look for them this weekend): Pep 28 Pep 37 Pep 42 (Yep, that sweet Captain Commando story with Hitler in the pajamas is up there) Pep 51 Pep 65 (Last Shield-Be sure to read the inside cover page. It'll bring a tear to your eye....the end of an era). I know this sounds like a lot of Pep's, but it is PEPCOMICS.COM (LOL). The next rainy day I'll put up Zip Comics #31, Top Notch #14, and either Blue Ribbon #2 or Jackpot #6. The goal is to ultimately have all books easily accessible to read. It takes about 2-3 minutes per PAGE to scan, but it's definitely a "LABOR OF LOVE". I just have to make sure I'm not destroying these books when I scan them. I'm 27, so instead of having a newer car I'd rather spend spare money on these old books. Dwight- I reread Pep #21, and I couldn't find any reference of Archie with black hair. Do you know what page that is on? Also, if you have any of these books you could scan, I'll put 'em up.

That is, if you have fan fiction to share, great, but post it on your own website and let us know how to get to it. The concern was for the ML staying squeaky-clean as far as the Archie people were concerned, and not causing them any unnecessary annoyance. They do maintain their trademarks and copyrights, after all (you never know when there might be an opportunity to do something with Li'l Jinx or Cosmo the Merry Martian), and might be dubious about fan fiction. Whether I'm Sadly Mistaken about the no-fan-fic policy, or if it's changed in the interim since it last came up, I can't say for sure. --Dwight In a message dated Thu, 21 Jun 2001 10:58:32 AM Eastern Daylight Time, "Bradley, Jessica, and Paul Cobb" writes: << Hi guys!

What it is, is a house ad announcing the coming of Archie, and the accompanying head shot of Archie is colored with black hair instead of his trademark red. I KNOW I've seen this house ad...but apparently my failing memory mistakenly thought it was in Pep #21 (which would seem like a logical place for it). I'll make a mental note to myself to check out the November and December '41 issues of the other titles (Blue Ribbon, Zip, and Top Notch) to see if I can scare up that house ad. Because I've SEEN it!

I don't think Pep #22 was in any way anomalous in its release (though I'd have to check my checklists, which I don't have handy). The larger issue is that World War II may not have officially begun for the USA until after December 7, 1941, but Golden Age comic books were not at all neutral during the year or so before that. It was pretty obvious war was coming, and it was also pretty obvious who the bad guys were. Somebody really knowledgeable about Golden Age comics from all companies during that period could explain it better than I can, but my impression is that the comics start in '38 and '39 by referring to hostile foreign powers by disguised names, but by '41 all the cutesiness is dropped and the bad guys are often explicitly swastika-bedecked German Nazis and Rising-Sun logoed Japanese even before America was officially at war with them. There's even an early issue of Pep showing a Nazi aerial attack on New York harbor, long before the US and Germany were officially at war. Before Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union in the summer of '41, Soviets were often included in the ranks of hostile foreign powers -- early in the MLJ run, there's a series of battles against the "Mosconians" that spans Pep and (I think) Top-Notch both, and the Mosconians even attack Pearl Harbor!

(One is up for EBAY for auction but it's CGC graded, so I couldn't read it. Plus it's about $100 overpriced IMHO). On the cover, the Shield is lifting the lid on a Nazi Panzer tank and is about to punch him. In the background, you can see what appears to be the U.S. Capitol building. I can fully understand this because the Germans had begun bombing London in the summer of '40, and Britian had already declared war on Germany the fall prior. It was America's mother country and this cover was imagery of what could happen if the U.S. didn't get involved. Having said that, I was unaware of the Japanese doing anything to the United States or England prior to this; I was under the impression that we were in negotiations up until the morning of Pearl Harbor. I then (just now) reread the "Timeline of WW II" which cites officially 2 things had happened: 1-the obvious, that Japan, Italy, and Germany had signed the Tripartite (Axis) pact. Plus, the U.S. had frozen all Japanese assets and "suspended relations". Source: http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/timeline/ww2time.htm I guess not having lived back then I was under the impression that any tactics the U.S. government was working with the Japanese was more of a "top secret" thing. It wasn't public enough that publishers of comic books would be printing it. Or so I thought. I guess the old adage is true; enemies of your friends are your enemies too. Or was it "Enemies of your enemies are your friends". LOL! At any rate, thanks for the reply and I welcome any further posts. Dwight, do you have any duplicate copies of MLJ stuff you'd like to sell me? I usually go after VG+ or better copies to collect, but I also take lower grade version because I read every book I have.

What it is, is a house ad announcing the coming of Archie, and the accompanying head shot of Archie is colored with black hair instead of his trademark red. I KNOW I've seen this house ad...but apparently my failing memory mistakenly thought it was in Pep #21 (which would seem like a logical place for it). I'll make a mental note to myself to check out the November and December '41 issues of the other titles (Blue Ribbon, Zip, and Top Notch) to see if I can scare up that house ad. Because I've SEEN it!

Better your comics than mine, hee hee! Believe me; I don't want to destroy my books either. Do you have an idea of what else to try? I will buy a digital camera if anyone thinks this will do the trick. My goal is to have a digital copy of each page, so I will never have to handle the original again.

Batman and Robin, yes, but not Shield and Dusty ) but do remember that everything that you post to the list will be forever, unchangeably, part of the archives. 2) By posting the story to your own website, you have several advantages that posting to the list does not give you: we can easily go back and read and re-read the story as often as we want without cluttering up our limited mailboxes or having to search our hard drives to remember where we stored it and you can go in and make changes, updates, edits, etc. to the story as often as you wish. If you don't have your own website, you can get one easily - and free. Go to geocities.com or xoom.com or any of the other myriad (another vocabulary word I learned from comics ) free web hosting services and sign up. Hell, it's so easy, even I could do it.

I originally set up this list to be basically un-moderated, but I did make a request early on that we not post fan-fiction here. I really have no idea if the ArchieCo folks would be upset or not, but I just didn't really want to push it. Personally I like to read fan-fiction, and I think it is a good excercise for folks who may be aspiring writers. If you send your story to me at taaru2@hotmail.com I'd be happy to read it. Thank you all for participating here.

I know some of you might get deluged with emails already, but I promise that you won't be dissapointed. We all want to see the MLJ characters return in all their glory, and I'm sure we've all had ideas at one time or another about what could be done better (like the Weird Mystery issues?). As soon as I get some members, I am going to post the Dusty-The Boy Detective story that I had asked about earlier. There are a few on this list who have already read it, and I'd like them to post their thoughts about it so that the others can be enticed to join up (hint hint...hehe) Anyway, this is the end of the invitation, please join!

But I totally understand if you don't want to fight, because it's just a fan site, you aren't making any money, and it would cost a lot to fight . . . Now, I'm surprised ArchieCo isn't asking you to take your comic story scans down too. That's clear copyright infringement . . . either they are giving you a break, haven't actually looked at your site yet, or they didn't properly renew copyright on their '40s stories and they are in the public domain As for a new name, how about TopNotchComics.com?

Paul Castiglia here. I thought I'd share my answers to an email Brad Cobb wrote with the whole group: BRAD: Is BlackJack now considered the leader of the Crusaders? He seems to be such in both their ARCHIE'S WEIRD MYSTERIES appearances. Also, are there any plans for further Mighty Crusaders appearances, whether in AWM or in their own series? ME: Black Jack is not the leader of the Crusaders. In the proposal I have been working on for several years now, The Shield is the leader. This is following the form of teams like JLA and Avengers, where strong characters with great presence (ie: Superman and Capt. America) preside. Not to mention the red, white and blue patriotic factor (appropriately enough, this being Independence Day). There seems to be something inherently powerful about that. As has been the case with JLA as of late, the "leader" does have strong back-up from others who can lead just as well. I see The Jaguar and The Comet as possessing the leadership qualities necessary to substitute for The Shield if need be. I have very specific ideas for a Crusaders relaunch, some I'm sure fans will love and others they won't. But the blueprint for the basic team is in the latest "Archie's Weird Mysteries" appearance of the team (AWM #14, for those of you who haven't seen it yet-- I'm assuming the lack of response can only mean you haven't tracked it down or you're being kind by not commenting-- I hope I haven't disappointed you-- I tried to write a story that would remain reverent to the characters while also incorporating Archie's Super Teens into the mix in a logical-- for AWM at least-- way; not to mention having to keep pleasing fans of that team in mind as well). The core of the team will be The Shield, The Jaguar, The Comet, The Web, Steel Sterling, Black Jack and Black Hood. In my proposed relaunch, one of these members won't last for long, and will start a splinter group, the nature of which I won't reveal at this time... You'll also notice the phrase "alternate crusaders" in AWM #14. This refers to those characters not on the "first string" of the team. In my vision of The Crusaders, these characters will befall various fates, potentially creating even more splinter groups, and some may even turn bad. In fact, I have plans for three characters in particular that would probably keep your message boards buzzing for months! Last but not least, I also plan to resurrect some unlikely characters from Archie/MLJ's adventure past that will serve as Crusaders members as well as villains. Now, all of this means nothing if I can't convince the powers-that-be at Archie to take a chance. But I think the current atmosphere is such that I may have a 50/50 chance. I am about to have meetings with them regarding a possible (italicized, underlined and bolded) POSSIBLE trade paperback (most likely in the format of the ARCHIE AMERICANA SERIES and BEST OF JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS books) reprinting some of the 1960s Mighty Comics stories. THIS IS NOT A DEFINITE YET. Please respect this information. I will let everyone know if this becomes a "go" and will give details on the contents and release date when appropriate (which is another way of saying, you'll know when I know)! The bottom line is, a trade paperback could be another catalyst towards a regular Crusaders series. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, because Archie is a business that is very bottom line conscious and while it has a support mechanism in place (namely, the ongoing success of the Archie characters, particularly in the digest format) it tends to take a leisurely, measured approach to making decisions on new projects. Which is a long-winded way of saying they are not known for rushing into anything. I suppose the best thing you can do is wish me luck. I have great perseverance, as well as the wisdom to know when to strike. My upcoming meeting on a possible Crusaders reprint paperback should provide the perfect opportunity to once again propose a new Crusaders comic series. Please don't hesitate to comment on AWM #14. I am interested to hear your opinions.

And I am STOKED to hear about the upcoming Crusaders stories (possible at least). So, going from what you wrote, does that mean that you have a long history and future planned for these guys already? You know, already have like the first few years plotted out in your head? Are there any DEFINITE planned appearances of the Crusaders any time soon (Even in a Weird Mysteries issue)? ALSO, I read the book, and I enjoyed it. In fact, if there's anyone on the mighty list that does not have a copy, but wants one, I'll make sure you get one (I have 2 extra). The only thing I didn't like about the book was the ending. It seemed as if the story was going on and then all of a sudden, "Oh no! We only have two more pages to go, gotta end it now!" No offense meant to you at all, Paul (by the way, that's my son's name as well), I did enjoy it, and that was my only real complaint about the book. Do you happen to know what the sales figures were for the Crusaders appearances? (up? down? percentage? actual numbers?) Were they better than the other issues? Another question that has come up semi-frequently on the Yahoo Club The Hangman Returns: How many of the Super-hero Public Service Aannouncements are there? And are they ever going to be posted ont he ArchieComics webpage again? Why is there no Crusader section there anymore? One last thing, my son (5 1/2 months old) wants to type something to you: jk, mdczjjxj cs omknjbgnn m 0147 thanks!

Therefore, any projects must be done jointly, and Archie would rather wait to do anything with the characters until such time as a Fly-specific project was feasible. Specifically, the "Fly" has been optioned by a film producer. If a "Fly" movie were to be made (and as with all movies, that's a big "if"-- comic book characters are optioned all the time for movies and most of those proposed movies never see the dimmed lights of a movie theater), a "Fly" paperback collection would probably come out from Archie, and then they would go from there... hope you understand.

Yes, I'm aware of the Simon situation. As I mentioned to Paul, my post was an attempt at 'humor'. And now you see why I don't make my living at stand-up comedy. Geez. You guys are a tough audience. LOL David P.S. And yes, Rosenberger's FLY GIRL is one of the loveliest superheroines ever drawn by anyone, anytime.

I mean, if someone is going to 'write' humor, it stands to reason they should have a sense of one, eh? o Thanks for being the > ultimate Fly (or should I say Fly-Girl) fan! You betchum, Red Ryder! Or in a more immortal collequialism: Hubba, Hubba! Frivolity aside, I did as you asked and read the issue. (Fortunately for you I needed a bathroom break. LOL) Ahem. Anyhow, it was a fun read. Given the constraints you were under, namely having to focus, perforce, on Archie and the gang, the sheer number of heroes, and the length limitation, you did a good job. And since my other fave---the Jaguar---was featured a tad, it was doubly sweet. Ironic, the thrust of the story: the heroes trapped in limbo. Especially since that's essentially where they've been for far top many years. Was this a creative stroke of genius on your part? Or perhaps a subliminal manifestation of your deep-seated need to see them resurrected? Dang. There I go again with the fifty-syllable words. I'm starting to act as strange as Brad.

Or I should say WAS-- starting with the 18th issue, the style will revert back to a more traditional Archie look. Probably because the show the comic is based on was actually canceled at least a year ago-- it was on the PAX cable network, although it still runs on Teletoon in Canada. As for the Mighty Crusaders themselves, they are drawn closer in style to the Batman animated series and the various comics they spawned, and if a regular Crusaders comic or feature becomes a reality, the odds are that will be the favored art style. We'll see. Thanks for your comments!

Some other DeCarlo stories are coming in Elvira #100 (from Claypool) and an upcoming issue of Batman: Gotham Knights (from DC). And while many of his upcoming projects sound like one-shot "wouldn't it be cool if DeCarlo drew this story" things, he also has a regular job at Bongo laying out Simpsons stories for anamation artists who know how to draw the Simpsons, but don't know how to set up a comic book page . . .

One series in particular would need an artistic style similar to what used to appear in the various MLJ super-hero stories back in the 40s. This doesn't pay but it will get lots of exposure. If anyone is interested they can contact me privately at and I will give them further information. The Blue Moon Comics Group website can be found at . No email samples by the way. Thanx.

I have some sample pages posted on a free site right now, and I'd like some input on what you guys think about them (format, content, style, etc...) I have an interview with Martin Greim (done by me) who wrote the Original Shield series from Archie Adventure, and who also wrote/created ThunderBunny. http://members.spree.com/sci-fi/mljcomics/interviews/greim.html There is also a Legend of the Shield info page (from Impact Comics) that I did (complete artist/writer/editor credits for each issue, but in easy-to-read format). http://members.spree.com/sci-fi/mljcomics/shield.html Let me know what you think!

If you point your browser to www.goldcomics.com, you will now find the following updates: Pep Comics #4 (entire book), Pep 51, Pep 65 (Last Shield), Pep #42, and sometime today Shield-Wizard #13. Within a couple of weeks you'll find Top Notch #14 and #27, and Blue Ribbon #2. Also, if you don't want to view it via my web server or you have a slow connection, I've added the .zip files for direct book downloads. I've been up basically all night working on this. If you guys get a chance, be sure to read the Pep #4. The entire book is awesome, with my personal favorite story being "The Rocket and the Queen of Diamonds". They don't make 'em like this anymore. 2 more things before I go: 1. Feedback appreciated! 2. No MLJ's were hurt whatsoever in creating these scans. Love, peace & chicken grease.

My MLJs are put away and out of reach, and I don't remember if it was ever said where the Wizard lived or what Roy's last name was. Can anybody help our querying friend?

Jerry Siegel did write some Human Torch stories in the early Sixties under the alias, "Joe Carter". (He created the Plantman, who still messes around on occasion today.) Stan may have been disappointed in some stuff that Jerry turned in during his "proofreading" period, but he did publish a three-part Angel story, the one in which the hero's dad gets killed. It ran in KA-ZAR (1st series) #2-3 and MARVEL TALES #30. Besides writing the Spider for a British comic and Disney Duck stories for the foreign markets, Siegel also did some scripting, IIRC, for the Skywald black-and-white horror mags like PSYCHO. I got to meet Jerry a couple of times in San Diego, once at the Eclipse table, and enjoyed the experience. So much for that.

In the case of Bob Phantom, one should know that his history actually predates his appearance in MLJ Comics. He actually first appeared in KEEN KOMICS #1-3, May-November 1939, a Centaur comic. As I recall, the Centaur Bob Phantom was only a top-hat-and-tails magician. Shortly afterward, he turned up in BLUE RIBBON, more or less the same strip until he sported a costume. This migration of strips wasn't too uncommon in the early days of comic books; the shops that put out the stories were engaged by several different companies, and I doubt most of the start-ups cared that Lucky Coyne,Ima Slooth, Dan Hastings, and Little Nemo had appeared (and would later appear) in comics put out by another publisher. These features were probably done by the Chesler shop, who would later shunt them into their own books (DYNAMIC COMICS, PUNCH COMICS, etc.). Bob Phantom, once he became superheroic, was obviously a property MLJ kept. It's interesting to note that Lucky Coyne, a detective character who appeared in Centaur, MLJ, and Chesler comics, had the same last name as MLJ founder Maurice Coyne. Coincidence? We think not! An ancient Timely ran a one shot strip, the Good Family, which was directly based on Martin Goodman and his brood (there were even kids named Chip and Iden in it). Also, in a HAWAII FIVE-O novelization, writer Michael Avallone used a villain called Mr. Silverkite...which is just too close to Silberkleit for me to think that Avallone didn't know him. As for Goldwater...hmmm...seems to me I heard that name sometime when I was growing up...wasn't it in the 60's? Or am I thinking of an old Green Lantern villain?

I've been lurking for some time, and some of you may know me from the many other lists i'm on, but I'm starting work on an article on Paul Reinman (specifically his work on the Mighty Comics line) and had a few brief questions. 1) Exactly what characters did Paul Reinman work on for MLJ in the 1940s that he returned to in the 1960s? The Hangman and the Black Hood are two, I believe, but did he do any work on the Shield, the Web or Steel Sterling? Are there any cover scans available? Does anyone have a scan for Paul's first Fly story, which was in (I believe) the Fly # 3? I'd love to see it. Thanks in advance for any help. I grew up with those wonky Mighty Comics, and I still get a big kick out of them. I think an article on Paul Reinman is justified.

Also Top Notch #27, the "Remember Pearl Harbor" cover is going up as well. The long term goal, money and time permitting, is to have the entire MLJ collection. Please help! If anyone has any low grade/coverless books, I'd gladly borrow them, carefully scan them, and return them. I'll even pay shipping both ways if necessary.

There was Archie's Super-Hero Digest #1, which featured the Crusaders in solo action, as well as Pureheart, Captain Hero, EvilHeart, SuperTeen, and the such like, so it was not an exclusive Crusaders digest. #2, however, was all Crusader solo stories (with maybe one exception, but I don't think so). It also had the first appearance of the Black Hood story "Life is not like a comic book" written by Gray Morrow (as said in an issue of Blue Ribbon Comics), and drawn by Neal Adams. This story was later reprinted in a bigger format, but black/white in JCP Features the THUNDER Agents #1 (1982 magazine-sized comic), and was also reprinted in a Blue Ribbon Comics issue. These books appear quite frequently on Ebay, although some people want more than they should for them ($25.00 for the set before shipping???) Hope this helps.

I think Victor is still at Archie and would probably be available. I had a great phone chat with him in 1987 while I was publishing the ACE Comics line. He was very pleasant. The trouble with doing much on the Golden Age or Silver Age creators is that most of them are gone now. Too bad that Jerry Seigel is gone. An interview with Seigel would have been fascinating.

Personally, I felt his art really defined the "Mighty Comics Group" (on THE SHADOW, FLY-MAN, MIGHTY CRUSADERS, and MIGHTY COMICS PRESENTS) for the Silver Age, in the same way that Mike Sekowski defined the DC heroes of the Silver Age in JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA. Reinman did some nice inks over Kirby in the early '60s Marvels, too. Is he still alive?

Nobody seemed to keep up with the developments in the other books. Lance Strong appeared to die in SHIELD / STEEL STERLING #3, then came back in MIGHTY CRUSADERS w/out explanation. First the Web was the original Web, then he was the original Web's son, then he wasn't. All of the Mighty Crusaders from the 60's were brought back EXCEPT for the Black Hood, who was replaced by the guy who had only appeared in the one-shot book which was reprinted (actually, printed) in ARCHIE'S SUPER-HERO DIGEST. A Black Hood appeared and died in later MC issues, but it wasn't the same guy. There was also another one-shot Black Hood who was a gangster by day and a hero by night. And...well, you get the picture. Why wasn't anyone minding the store?

(as shown "IN") Some of them had very little to say. Some did so little, that not much could even be asked about their involvement. And some are great, fully answered, and detailed. These make for some fun reading, if you're interested in them at all. I created an "index" page, to make it easier. http://members.spree.com/sci-fi/MLJComics/interviews/interviews.html There are more interview coming soon. I've heard back from Rich Buckler, and he said he's not too fond of rehashing some of the things that went on with Red Circle, and the Archie brass (my paraphrase of his email to me). So, the Rich Buckler interview is a little less of a possibility than I thought it'd be. But, I'm still gonna try!

Also, I would love to hear any feedback or maybe what you would do with the characters. THE SHIELD: I would make The Shield more of an Iron Man type of character. All of his powers would come from his armor which would strongly resemble his original costume. STEEL STERLING - I would make Steel super quick (run at 60 mph), super strong (lift five tons) and impervious to small arms fire. He would have no secret identity and would actually star in his own Steel Sterling movie serials. Also, I prefer his original costume over the one with the pirate boots. THE FLY - I would strip the fly of all his insect powers except flight (with the use of a small jetpack) and his buzz gun. I love the design of the character but the powers were sort of outlandish. FLY GIRL - Same as above THE JAGUAR - I would strip the Jaguar of all his mammal powers and his belt jets. I would leave the costume the way it is but make him one of the world's greatest martial arts experts specializing in something like Tiger Claw kung fu. THE BLACK HOOD - I would leave as is. BLACKJACK - I would leave as is. THE WEB: I would leave as is. THE COMET - The Comet is dead, long live the Comet. I would make the Comet's death in the Forties canonical. He is replaced by his 18- year-old daughter who only has superspeed (200 mph). I explain this by having the original Comet actually receive his powers 20 years previous but never assumed the secret identity until all the other heroes started coming out of the woodwork in the Forties. THE HANGMAN - He is the vigilante the underworld fears most because he is utterly merciless. After the murder of his brother he has become almost of a supernatural presence.

Now, Lancelot Strong, the other Shield, he would need some tweaking to make him different from Joe Higgins. I'd drop the whole "Shield's son" thing, though, and just keep the original around for whatever reasons. > > >>STEEL STERLING - I would make Steel super quick (run at 60 mph), > >>super strong (lift five tons) and impervious to small arms fire.

Toning down the characters' powers would accomplish that. For example, The Watchmen was one of my favorite stories but the only character that really had any super power was Dr. Manhattan. Obviously some of the characters origins will have to be changed. For example, the Comet would actually be in his mid- forties by the time he came on the scene so he won't be 9 years old when he received his powers. I would keep Fly Girl. We need more women in the group. I was even thinking of changing the Fox to be a female. Also, I would have the stories take place in the early 1940's.

References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: "Dwight Decker" In this thread's discussion of the various powers of the various characters, I think there's something you guys are rubbing up against without quite realizing it. That is, there's a significant difference in the power levels between the Golden Age and Silver Age heroes. Most of the Golden Age guys are barely more than costumed streetfighters with a gimmick. Mr. Justice is the only "cosmic" hero in the lot. A lot of characters have no powers at all (Captain Flag, the Web, Blackjack, the Fox, the Black Hood, the Hangman...), and the ones that do are relatively limited. The Shield and Steel Sterling are basically super-human in the literal sense (normal human beings but with increased strength), though I seem to recall one story casually mentioning that Steel could mentally tune in on radio broadcasts, which seemed like a writer's ad hoc addition. Inferno and Fireball have single gimmick powers...can't remember what exactly Firefly could do, just that it wasn't as insect-like as his origin implied. The original Comet with flying and that destructo-beam is actually pretty high up there in the power rankings; unless I misremember things (always possible). In thinking about it, I just now realized he was probably the second most powerful character in the MLJ lineup after Mr. Justice, at least in terms of sheer fire-power (the Wizard's mental powers might make him a contender for second, though), and the Comet's powers aren't all that tremendous compared with later characters. Turn to the '60s, the new characters are much more powerful. The Fly and Fly-Girl have all kinds of powers, as does the Jaguar. Next to them, the revived MLJ members of the Mighty Crusaders and their renegade hero opponents look pretty under-powered. So the Mighty Guys beefed them up so they wouldn't just mope around Crusaders HQ while the Flys went out and did all the work. The Shield could teleport, the Black Hood was given a flying robot horse (they weren't all good ideas..), the Hangman had a magic rope, the Wizard became a _real_ Wizard with near-infinite magic power...and the Comet went through Mighty's equivalent of the Silver Age revamp that DC gave the Flash and Green Lantern, with a considerably increased suite of powers. So there is a different level of power between the Golden Age and Silver Age heroes that makes teaming them something of a problem... --Dwight Decker From mjackson@stenovations.com Mon Aug 27 17:43:24 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: mjackson@stenovations.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_3_2); 28 Aug 2001 00:43:24 -0000 Received: (qmail 86239 invoked from network); 28 Aug 2001 00:43:21 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.26) by l7.egroups.com with QMQP; 28 Aug 2001 00:43:21 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO n27.groups.yahoo.com) (10.1.2.135) by mta1 with SMTP; 28 Aug 2001 00:43:21 -0000 X-eGroups-Return: mjackson@stenovations.com Received: from [10.1.4.22] by fh.egroups.com with NNFMP; 28 Aug 2001 00:43:21 -0000 Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2001 00:43:19 -0000 To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: What would you do with the characters?

It seemed to me that the Comet, when first introduced in THE FLY, was meant to be, not the original, but a Silver Age revamp (same with the Wizard). Then later they explained that he WAS the original. I never liked the Silver Age Comet that much, since all his multitudinous (and improbable) powers seemed to come from his helmet, rather that being inherent in himself, like they were in the original Comet. It wasn't 'til years later (the Red Circle era) that they explained his seeming death in the Golden Age and how he'd lost his original powers.

(just my assumption from what he told me) He said he'd rather not get into his time there with the "characters" that he worked for, and doesn't want to re-hash it. So, I guess there's some bad blood, and he's not too fond of talking about it. So, a Buckler interview? Probably not. I have asked him, however, if he could possibly make a short essay-ish statement about the work he did on the characters themselves, and not involve the behind-the-scenes stuff. If all else fails, I am still in contact with Robin Snyder (Buckler's assistant editor who went on to Edit the Fly and Steel Sterling) and Bill Dubay (writer of the Comet, editor of Black Hood, and brother-in-law of Rich Buckler). Maybe they can help fill in the blanks. Brad ======== How about Buckler? I know he was pretty heavily involved in at least the earlier issues of the Red Circle era.

Now THERE's a guy I've never seen interviewed anywhere. Personally, I felt his art really defined the "Mighty Comics Group" (on THE SHADOW, FLY-MAN, MIGHTY CRUSADERS, and MIGHTY COMICS PRESENTS) for the Silver Age, in the same way that Mike Sekowski defined the DC heroes of the Silver Age in JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA. Reinman did some nice inks over Kirby in the early '60s Marvels, too. Is he still alive? New part: I think he's gone now. Alan Kupperberg mentioned him in some emails to me, and always referred to him in past tense. He said that "back in the 70's.....he was a nice, old man with a German accent." So, my guess is he's gone now. I will try to search, though. Anyone know of any 60's Mighty People who might still be around?

It will be fleshed out gradually, starting with the interviews (which I've already got html'ed) and the general starting page. From there, I will be adding overviews of each incarnation of the heroes (MLJ/Mighty/Red Circle/Spectrum/Impact/Archie 2000), and then will get into the individual series, individual heroes, and the creators as well. It will be a slow process, but hopefully one that will be rewarding to the fans on here.

Where > is the Jack Kirby part owbership of the Fly and Private > Strong? Why blame Simon's family? Joe Simon is still alive and in control of his senses. And what has he done greedy? AFAIK, ArchieCo asked Simon to package some super-hero comics for them. Simon said "OK, if I can have part-ownership of the characters" ArchieCo agreed. Simon then went out and hired Jack Kirby (and others) to work with him, and came up with The Fly and Lancelot Strong. Lancelot Strong failed, and apparently ArchieCo didn't care much for Simon and Co.s work on The Fly, because they stopped having Simon package it, chosing to do The Fly "in house" -- and they aged the character too . . . True, if Simon was a truely generous man, he would give Kirby's estate some of whatever money he gets from those characters . . . but who says he doesn't? And as for editorial control (the other perk of ownership), I think it is fair that Simon keeps that. After all, he is the one that made the ownership deal with ArchieCo . . . > Simon may have been talented, but he wasn't THAT talented. What does talent have to do with it? Simon was a shrewd businessman in an era when most of the artists in comics weren't, so he came out of it with more ownership, royalties, etc. than most artists of the era did. Nothing wrong with that. And I really think Simon is fair to Kirby. Simon and Kirby('s estate) do co-own the stuff from the late 40's/50's that they genuinely colaberated on (Boy's Ranch, Stuntman, Boy Explorers, Fighting American, etc.). -- Shad Z. ^Q^ (ShadZ@rocketmail.com,ShadZ@email.com,Jackalope7@go.com) http://shadz.homestead.com/files/ HONK TO SEE PUPPIES Sign along US 287, Loveland CO _______________________________________________ Talk More, Pay Less with Net2Phone Direct(R), up to 1500 minutes free! http://www.net2phone.com/cgi-bin/link.cgi?143 From positronic@aol.com Thu Sep 06 22:51:18 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: Positronic@aol.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_3_2_1); 7 Sep 2001 05:51:17 -0000 Received: (qmail 96378 invoked from network); 7 Sep 2001 05:51:16 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.27) by l9.egroups.com with QMQP; 7 Sep 2001 05:51:16 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-d05.mx.aol.com) (205.188.157.37) by mta2 with SMTP; 7 Sep 2001 05:51:16 -0000 Received: from Positronic@aol.com by imo-d05.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v31_r1.4.) id r.4f.10d006b2 (15974) for ; Fri, 7 Sep 2001 01:51:11 -0400 (EDT) Received: from web25.aolmail.aol.com (web25.aolmail.aol.com [205.188.222.1]) by air-id10.mx.aol.com (v80.17) with ESMTP id MAILINID101-0907015111; Fri, 07 Sep 2001 01:51:11 -0400 Date: Fri, 07 Sep 2001 01:51:11 EDT Subject: Re: [mightycomics] Archie 2000 To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Unknown (No Version) Message-ID: <4f.10d006b2.28c9ba4f@aol.com> From: positronic@aol.com In a message dated Thu, 6 Sep 2001 11:46:33 AM Eastern Daylight Time, "Bradley, Jessica, and Paul Cobb" writes: > > "Archie 2000"?

I have to say I found the Archie's Weird Mysteries appearances disappointing. Not so much because of the writing, but because of the art. It's neither "superhero-y" enough, nor "Archie/DeCarlo-y" enough to suit my tastes. In short, I found it pretty amateurish. Now, on the other hand, I quite liked the few "Know Your Heroes"/mini-origins and "Public Service Announcements" I've seen. They seemed to be done more in a "Bruce Timm/B:TAS" style, which I thought fit the characters quite well. Unfortunately, I can't recall the artist's (or artists') name(s). Does anyone have a complete list of these, and where they appeared?

I don't know, but I do know that it is not necessary for all owners of a copyright to appear in the copyright notice. For example, Betty Boop is owned by a group of 4 or 5 corporations (including Fleicher Studios, King Features/Hearst, Harvey Comics and I think Paramount/Viacom), but her copyright notice for years just said King and Fleicher. Nowdays new Betty merchendise just says Fleicher, but I'm pretty sure the ownership hasn't changed. > And did he not JUST RECENTLY try to claim ownership of the > Marvel characters he helped create? Well, he is only trying to RECLAIM one Marvel character: Captain America. And that is because of special clauses in a recent copyright law that let people who sold their creations to corperations to reclaim their stuff after the original copyright would have expired (copyright life was lengthened recently). This only applies to stuff that was completed, and then sold to a corporation. It doesn't apply to things that were done at the corporations behest (i.e. they hire someone to create characters). So that's why Joe Simon has to say he created Captian America before he started working as an employee for Timely, then sold Cap to Timely. And he also has to say Jack Kirby had nothing to do with the original creation, because Simon didn't meet Kirby until they both worked for Timely. (I am a little skeptical about Simon's claims here, since he apparently never mentioned it before . . .) > I was under the impression (and the copyright data backs > it up) that he also JUST RECENTLY started his claim of > ownership of the Archie Characters he worked on.

If ArchieCo really thought Simon didn't have a case, they wouldn't give up just to avoid a lawsuit. Look at their recent fights with Dan DeCarlo, or the way they always go overboard in reacting to parodies or fanzines about their characters. ArchieCo likes to fight for ownership when they think they are right. > Anyway, if my facts are wrong, and yours are right, I > apologize to the Simon family. I think we both have the same facts (except about the Captian America thing), but are just drawing different conclusions. And why do you keep on bringing Joe Simon's family into this? Simon isn't dead yet, or even suffering too much from old age. All the decisions he has made lately (to get more involved with the Fly, to try to reclaim Captain America) have been his own decisions. > But, I've yet to see any factual proof that it is the case.

Well, I don't claim to be an expert on Joe Simon, but the person who informed me of Joe Simon's website told me it was put togethor by his family, and since it always refers to Joe Simon Entertainment, it just gave me the impression at first that Joe Simon was not with us anymore (ok, there goes all my credibility), and without anything that I read being in the first person, it seemed to back up the Joe Simon family involvement, and seemed to exclude him as being a part of it. But, here's another twist to the plot.... MLJ sues Timely for Captain America's shield was too much like the Shield's uniform. DC sues Fawcett (and wins) becuase Captin Marvel is a Superman clone.... Then comes the Fly.... A little boy with no parents, says a magic word (or set of words) and becomes an adult super-hero.... so, using the DC/Fawcett suit as a basis, and seeing the Fly as a rip-off version of Captain Marvel (who DC now owns), could DC not sue to get ownership of the Fly? Might be screwy reasonning, but it just seems to me that the Fly, in it's original form, was little more than a clone of Captain Marvel (only the names and faces have been changed to protect the innocent...)

This came to me from Mike Gold, the driving force behind getting DC to license the rights to the MLJ characters and create Impact Comics. He was also the main editor for the first year. >>>There was a dispute -- it might be mentioned in Joe's book The Comic Book >>>Makers. Joe claimed he created The Fly and Pvt. Strong and that Archie >>>never bought the ownership rights. Archie contested this. Joe held up the >>>Impact/DC deal, threatening to sue. So Sielberkleit said that if Joe >>>would go along and, ultimately, if the Impact line didn't work ownership >>>would revert to Joe. Here, "ownership" means only the concepts and >>>designs noted in the Simon/Kirby issues and not any earlier or later >>>work. Impact folded and Joe seems to own the characters -- at least, from >>>what I see on Joe's website. So Archie honored their word and spared themselves the type of copyright complaint that Joe has filed against Marvel over Captain America, or, for that matter, Jerry Siegel's family has filed over Superman against AOL TIme Warner. If AOLTW or Marvel lose their respective cases -- and whatever litigation might be associated with same -- there's a strong possiblity that the creators or estates of every other major DC or Marvel property could wage similar war, unless the publishers can prove outright and perpetual ownership in a way that would negate the copyright issues. Archie, wanting to hold onto Archie (and Josie and Sabrina and whatever) simply avoided the issue by making a seperate peace with Simon. It'd cost a great deal to defend any of this in court or even just at the copyright office, and as I said the price of losing is staggering. DC did the same over Green Lantern with Marty Nodell. I'm not saying who's right and who's wrong here, and I'm not commenting on how Jack Kirby fits into all of this. I'm simply passing along an EXTREMELY ABBREVIATED version of the story; feel free to pass that along with these caveats. --Mike<<< So, hoe that sheds some light on the situation.

Didn't S&K work together on BLUE BOLT and CHAMP COMICS, prior to going to Timely to do RED RAVEN, CAPTAIN AMERICA, etc.? I think they may have been together as early as the Fox Features syndicated days, when Kirby was working on a daily syndicated BLUE BEETLE strip, among other things. At least, that's my recollection. I'll have to check volume 1 of THE COMPLETE JACK KIRBY when I get home, to confirm the chronology.

Why didn't DC sue Marvel when they created Quicksilver (Flash) or Hawkeye (Green Arrow)? Or, to use a few of the more egregious examples, Roy Thomas' Squadron Supreme (Justice League) or Captain Mar-Vell (Fawcett's Capt. Marvel) or Chris Claremont's Imperial Guard (Legion of Super-Heroes)? Or when Marvel would create characters with the same name as earlier DC characters, like the Scarecrow or the Sandman? Besides, when DC sued Fawcett, they were doing so to get them to cease publication, and possibly for damages as well. This wouldn't have (and didn't) result in DC being granted ownership of Captain Marvel by the court. And not just because Fawcett ultimately settled out of court, either. For years (beginning in 1973), DC actually paid money to license the character from Fawcett (who had quit the comic book biz in '53 except for DENNIS THE MENACE, but kept on publishing paperbacks & magazines), until they finally purchased the rights outright (along with the rest of the Fawcett-owned superheroes) in the early '90s.

I read an interview once with Rob Liefeld (a few years back), about how he created Cable, but Marvel owns the rights to the character,because that's how the contracts are. The contracts (to the best of my knowledge) of most artists throughout the years said things to the effect of "we pay you for the stuff you draw, and we own it, along with the stuff in it." Basically, a creator would have to be able to prove he created whatever character before going under the contract in which he used the character in order to get anything from it. It might not be the fairest thing in the world, but they signed the contract, if they didn't read it and think ahead, they really have no legal leg to stand on. I have the same thoughts on the money grubbing atheletes, music stars, and anyone else who signs a contract (like brand new music groups) for five albums, and when they get popular, they decide they want to re-structure their contract or they won't perform anymore. HELLO? THEY'RE the ones who signed it in the first place. Anyone else think people ought to honor their word (by fulfilling their contract, and agreeing to the terms they themselves signed on under)? Brad, who wonders why people don't complain about creators rights before they can make money off of it. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp From KRIDERZO@aol.com Sat Sep 08 20:03:54 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: KRIDERZO@aol.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_3_2_1); 9 Sep 2001 03:03:54 -0000 Received: (qmail 15386 invoked from network); 9 Sep 2001 03:03:12 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.142) by l9.egroups.com with QMQP; 9 Sep 2001 03:03:12 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-r08.mx.aol.com) (152.163.225.104) by mta3 with SMTP; 9 Sep 2001 03:03:11 -0000 Received: from KRIDERZO@aol.com by imo-r08.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v31_r1.4.) id r.77.1ac90c95 (2174) for ; Sat, 8 Sep 2001 23:03:03 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <77.1ac90c95.28cc35e7@aol.com> Date: Sat, 8 Sep 2001 23:03:03 EDT Subject: Re: [mightycomics] MLJ and creator's rights To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 5.0 for Windows sub 138 From: KRIDERZO@aol.com here, here..........lets face facts........its all about how much money these guys can make on characters they invented under contract 60 years ago........why isn't Joe Simon trying to get the rights back from Red Raven? or Jerry Siegel's family sueing for the rights to Slam Bradley? after all, they created THOSE characters too !!!!

That's where the rub comes in. In 1978, the "work-for-hire" concept was written into statuatory law, and any contracts signed since then are pretty watertight. Before 1978, the "work-for- hire" concept was just an idea in common law, and not a very well defined idea, so pre-1978 contracts can be challenged. When we go all the way back to the 1940's, the contracts were shoddy, if any contract exists at all -- most of the time, none did. > It might not be the fairest thing in the world, but they signed > the contract, if they didn't read it and think ahead, they really > have no legal leg to stand on. > > I have the same thoughts on the money grubbing atheletes, music > stars, and anyone else who signs a contract (like brand new music > groups) for five albums, and when they get popular, they decide > they want to re-structure their contract or they won't perform > anymore.

Yep. I also think comic-book companies shouldn't pretend that short statements on the backs of checks or "industry practice" are contracts, because they aren't. P.S. The conversation we are having now is just a general conversation, you understand. It apparently doesn't apply to ArchieCo vs Joe Simon over the Fly (according to the information from Mike Gold): That wasn't a case of one party trying to get out of a contract, that was a case of both parties disagreeing about what the contract said. And it is has nothing to do with Marvel vs Joe Simon over Captian America, which isn't about contracts at all . . . -- Shad Z. ^Q^ (ShadZ@rocketmail.com,ShadZ@email.com,Jackalope7@go.com) http://shadz.homestead.com/files/ HONK TO SEE PUPPIES Sign along US 287, Loveland CO _______________________________________________ Talk More, Pay Less with Net2Phone Direct(R), up to 1500 minutes free! http://www.net2phone.com/cgi-bin/link.cgi?143 From positronic@aol.com Mon Sep 10 22:14:44 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: Positronic@aol.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_3_2_1); 11 Sep 2001 05:14:44 -0000 Received: (qmail 51150 invoked from network); 11 Sep 2001 05:14:39 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.142) by m8.onelist.org with QMQP; 11 Sep 2001 05:14:39 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-m04.mx.aol.com) (64.12.136.7) by mta3 with SMTP; 11 Sep 2001 05:14:31 -0000 Received: from Positronic@aol.com by imo-m04.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v31_r1.4.) id r.102.8b6c05b (15814) for ; Tue, 11 Sep 2001 01:14:18 -0400 (EDT) Received: from web32.aolmail.aol.com (web32.aolmail.aol.com [205.188.222.8]) by air-id05.mx.aol.com (v80.17) with ESMTP id MAILINID57-0911011418; Tue, 11 Sep 2001 01:14:18 -0400 Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 01:14:18 EDT Subject: Re: [mightycomics] MLJ and creator's rights To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Unknown (No Version) Message-ID: <102.8b6c05b.28cef7aa@aol.com> From: positronic@aol.com In a message dated Sat, 8 Sep 2001 6:16:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time, "Frank D'Urso" writes: > Y'all > > I've "met" Joe Somin online and have emailed with his son too, they are > stand up guys and I wish them all the luck in the world getting Captain > America back from Marvel. from what i understand marvel is about to WRECK > the good captain again anyways.... > Can we at least wait until the work appears before passing judgment on it, Frank? > The Superman and Captain America creation cases don't take the characters > AWAY from the current publishers, but they do give th eCREATERS more > ownership AND they will be able to license or make new stories of teh > ORIGINAL characters......(ie: caps first ten issues and early supes) > I think the Siegel and Simon cases are different, Frank. No matter if Siegel's estate is successful or not, DC will at least retain co-ownership of the character (because Shuster's estate is not involved, that makes DC itself the 'co-creator' of record). What that would mean is that DC gets half the profits generated from any Superman projects, and the Siegel estate gets the other half. So if, for instance, the Siegel estate decides to license the character to Image to do a comic book series, half the profits generated from that would go to DC. Ditto for when DC continues to publish Superman (which they would in any case, even if the Siegel estate licensed Superman to Image), the Siegel estate would get half the profits. The Simon thing is different altogether. Not to say that Simon (if he won) couldn't or wouldn't allow Marvel to continue to publish Cap, but if he decided otherwise, Marvel wouldn't have any say in the matter. > How come no one here questions that IRV NOVICK created the original star > spangles hero and deserves his share of teh pie from starchie? > What pie?

Not all work done by all people throughout the history of comics is legally considered Work Made For Hire (which actually has a specific legal definition). Things were particularly foggy in the early days of comics (the period when Siegel & Shuster created Superman, and Simon & Kirby created Captain America. Later on, the big companies became more acutely aware of legalities, and at certain points in time, insisted on Work-Made-For-Hire contracts being signed. But it's by no means all cut-and-dried.

What pie?  As far as I can see, that pie went stale back in the '40s.  
That's the only time that THE SHIELD really generated any real profits for
ArchieCo, or anyone else.  Now I like pie (American or otherwise), but it
doesn't appear there's any real pie to be had here - not to say there isn't
any potential to bake a NEW pie using the same ingredients Irv Novick used.

  In addition to the lack of potential gain to such a suit, I don't think
Irv Novick created the Shield.  He drew the strip but Harry Shorten wrote it.
 Seems more likely to me that Shorten created the character.  Just thought
I'd point that out (felt sort of bad not being part of all the recent
posting).

I wouldn't be surprised if Siegel's estate can lay claim to Lois Lane, Krypton, and the Daily Planet, but some of the other claims seem dubious at best. It is, perhaps, a matter of proving that the character or concept couldn't exist in the absence of Superman (and other Siegel-created concepts like the planet Krypton, etc.). At any rate, the Marvel situation is a completely different one, because of the shared continuity between Marvel Universe characters (I notice that the Siegel estate isn't even trying to make a claim on the JLA, even though Superman's a member of that team). It'd be a bit of stretch for Joe Simon to try to lay claim to Nick Fury & SHIELD, or the Avengers.

Bill DuBay was editor of Comet and Black Hood, and he told me that Robin Snyder (who edited some of the later Blue Ribbon and Fly issues) thought strict continuity kept readers from enjoying comics (actually, said it was "one of the things that was wrong with comics" I think), but I'll have to check my source on that one. Anyway, the Archie brass wanted to tone down the level of the books (to quote Martin Greim, "dumb down"). It is obvious by reading the last 3 or 4 issues of Mighty Crusaders that the process was there... Anyway, without getting any response from Victor Gorelick (who edited some of the later books), and no possibility of interviewing Rich Buckler either, we may never know who's screw-up it was. Oh well...maybe that's why the Archie 2000 stuff has all the heroes being young and in modern times. Might as well start over from scratch instead of going with 60 years of conflicting continuity... And confusing fan-fic writers too! (right Mark?)

The preview guest stars Sabrina in a rare crossover, the backlash of some magic's causes her to revert to a young girl, which is the "hook" of the new Sabrina cartoon and comic book (as opposed to being a "teenage" witch....does her new Sabrina comic mention this or do they not bother explaining? 3. is the SABRINA live action TV show still being produced? 4. is the Sabrina the teenage witch comic still being produced? 5. the "de-aged" Sabrina seems to be somewhere between regular Archieverse age and Lil'Archieverse age.......was there a Lil'Archie version of Sabrina? 6. I liked how they gave "creator" credits in the indicia....but none too accurate no? Bob Montana created Archie by hisself....yeah? 7. In Issue 14, they name all the major CRUSADERS, but many are unidentified, also the splash shows the SuperTeens as members cool!!! My question is this, can someone identify ALL the members shown? 8. The Alternate Crusaders are mentioned enough times to make me think they are some auxiliary group similar to legion of Substitute Heroes.....is this the first appearence/mention or when and where did they appear before?

Now, on to the questions I can answer for you... 1. does issue number 1 contain the FULL story of this? No Clue... 2. does her new Sabrina comic mention this or do they not bother explaining? No clue on this either...I tend to not buy many comics anymore, so I don't keep track of the various Archie titles like I used to (but check out ArchieComics.com, and search around...you're bound t find SOME of your answers. 3. is the SABRINA live action TV show still being produced? not to my knowledge. I think it's in syndication on WB now. 4. is the Sabrina the teenage witch comic still being produced? I think this is a "yes", but I can't swear to it. Seems like I saw one recently... 5. the "de-aged" Sabrina seems to be somewhere between regular Archieverse age and Lil'Archieverse age.......was there a Lil'Archie version of Sabrina? Yes. I Do remember this one. It had her aunts giving her flying lessons on her broomstick (that's the only one that I remember right now) 6. Bob Montana created Archie by hisself....yeah? I am not the one to ask about this... 7. My question is this, can someone identify ALL the members shown? Well, all the members of the Crusaders are called by name in the book, I think...I know they are in issue #3. Cross reference that book with #14, and you'll get a decent list. Any other people in custume would be bad guys. 8. The Alternate Crusaders are mentioned enough times to make me think they are some auxiliary group...is this the first appearence/mention or when and where did they appear before? First time they've been called "substitue Crusaders", but in the 60's Mighty Crusaders comics, they were in two splinter groups (UltraMen and the Terrific Three, I think). Like I said before, they were in issue 3 as well, but not called "sub" heroes. Also, check out Paul Castiglia's interview poste3d at MightyMLJ.com, and read what he has to say about the sub heroes.

The question has long been a sore spot for ArchieCo, and the company policy has historically been to give John Goldwater all the credit for creating Archie, period, with maybe some grudging allowance that Bob Montana might have contributed the visualization of the characters. Many fans over the years have simply not found this story credible. Goldwater was a publisher, never a writer, and apparently never created anything else.The first Archie strip has creator credits -- Montana and the writer -- but Goldwater's name isn't there. ArchieCo and Goldwater have never explained very clearly what Goldwater did to create Archie, what elements of the strip he actually conceived, or much of anything else about how it happened. The official ArchieCo version that John Goldwater created Archie may sound plausible to people outside the comics industry, but for fans and pros alike who know that strips like this are usually the product of collaboration between a number of talented people over time, it doesn't add up. Nor is anything said about the very similar Wilbur strip that started in Zip a couple of months before Archie started in Pep. What do I think? Not that it matters, but... To my surprise, I find myself coming to the conclusion that John Goldwater did have a legitimate claim to creating Archie. The story goes that he asked his staff to come up with something just like the then popular Henry Aldrich (a teenage boy character on the radio and in movies). The results were Wilbur and Archie (at the time, MLJ was filling four monthly anthology comic books with a lot of pages all together, and they stretched ideas on occasion by making two strips out of the same concept -- Sgt. Boyle & Corporal Collins, Kardak & Zambini, Danny in Wonderland & Dicky in the Magic Forest...). Wilbur never went much of anywhere but Archie took off. Now even Henry Aldrich is largely forgotten but Archie endures. So to the extent of recognizing that Henry Aldrich was popular and that something just like it might do well in comic books, John Goldwater deserves credit. Probably everything else that makes Archie Archie came from the writers and artists, Bob Montana the most notable, and perhaps with an assist from editor Harry Shorten. I further think that ArchieCo's insistence that Goldwater created everything was to nail down the rights and ownership of the character for the company so thoroughly that it could never be challenged, avoiding a Siegel & Shuster situation, even if it meant that the writers and artists laboring under work for hire conditions got their page rate and nothing else. Was this the right thing to do? Seen from the vantage point of our era, probably not. Sixty years ago, it may have just seemed like prudent business management in a buccaneering industry where you had to be part pirate to survive. --Dwight Decker From mtheclampetts@aol.com Sat Sep 15 16:43:22 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: MTheClampetts@aol.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_3_2_2); 15 Sep 2001 23:43:22 -0000 Received: (qmail 82965 invoked from network); 15 Sep 2001 23:43:22 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.26) by l10.egroups.com with QMQP; 15 Sep 2001 23:43:22 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-m03.mx.aol.com) (64.12.136.6) by mta1 with SMTP; 15 Sep 2001 23:43:22 -0000 Received: from MTheClampetts@aol.com by imo-m03.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v31_r1.7.) id r.9.1b6f515d (17236) for ; Sat, 15 Sep 2001 19:43:19 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <9.1b6f515d.28d54197@aol.com> Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2001 19:43:19 EDT Subject: Re: [mightycomics] help wanted--Golden Age To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="part1_9.1b6f515d.28d54197_boundary" X-Mailer: AOL 6.0 for Windows US sub 10540 From: mtheclampetts@aol.com --part1_9.1b6f515d.28d54197_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The Bob Wood on your list could also be the infamous co-creator of the legendary comic "Crimes Does Not Pay."

I have only one thing to add: While Montana was alive and working on the Archie comic strip, Montana refered to himself as "the creator of Archie" in press materials, interviews, etc., and ArchieCo did not dispute it (Bob Montana died in the mid-seventies). I even remember seeing the trivia question "Who created Archie? Bob Montana" in a filler page in an Archie comic in late 70's. ArchieCo didn't start to claim Goldwater created Archie until 1980 or so . . . -- Shad Z. ^Q^ (ShadZ@rocketmail.com,ShadZ@email.com,Jackalope7@go.com) http://shadz.homestead.com/files/ HONK TO SEE PUPPIES Sign along US 287, Loveland CO _______________________________________________ Talk More, Pay Less with Net2Phone Direct(R), up to 1500 minutes free! http://www.net2phone.com/cgi-bin/link.cgi?143 From shadz@email.com Mon Sep 17 22:54:30 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: shadz@email.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_3_2_2); 18 Sep 2001 05:54:30 -0000 Received: (qmail 14524 invoked from network); 18 Sep 2001 01:17:43 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.26) by l7.egroups.com with QMQP; 18 Sep 2001 01:17:43 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO ws2-2.us4.outblaze.com) (205.158.62.93) by mta1 with SMTP; 18 Sep 2001 01:17:43 -0000 Received: (qmail 7934 invoked by uid 1001); 18 Sep 2001 01:17:43 -0000 Message-ID: <20010918011743.7933.qmail@email.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: MIME-tools 5.41 (Entity 5.404) Received: from ws3-3.us4.outblaze.com for [199.117.218.232] via web-mailer on Tue, 18 Sep 2001 09:17:43 +0800 To: Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 09:17:43 +0800 Subject: Re: [mightycomics] transmission recieved!

If I remember, in the preview book the de-aging was temporary, right (a preview of the 12-year-old Sabrina)? The last issue of the teenage Sabrina book (Vol 2) had a similar story, except it was perminent, and involved the teenage Sabrina traveling back in time and getting stuck as her 12-year-old self.

While I recognize that "it never would have happened but for...", it seems a specious to grant these sort of folks "creator" credit. Practically nothing happens in the world of comic books without the direction or approval of a publisher and/or editor. If Martin Goodman directed Joe Simon & Jack Kirby to create a patriotic hero, does that make him the (or even "a") creator of Captain America? If Vin Sullivan directed Bob Kane to come up with another Superman-like character for DETECTIVE COMICS, did that entitle him to call himself the "creator" of Batman? (For that matter, as things happened, it seems the lion's share of the credit should go not to Kane, but to 'subcontractor' Bill Finger.) It's somewhat murky, I'll admit, but it doesn't fit my traditional notions of what a "creator" is. Particularly if that "creator's" input is limited to contributing the "concept" of ripping-off another popular character in the media.

Of course, you could argue some scenario like Rose's mother dies (the Roman Catholic Church would never accept a divorcee for priesthood), and her father THEN joins the priesthood, or that Rose's father somehow renounced the priesthood (also unlikely in the 1940s), and THEN married Rose's mom.

He could be Lutheran or Episcopalian, both of whom allow marriage of priests. Also, of course, just because priests take a vow of celibacy don't make it so.

Particularly in a work for hire situation where the boss says to the staff, I want a character along certain lines, and the staff writes and draws it for him. There's very little question about who owns the property or who's working for whom. On the other hand, it's hard to take seriously Goldwater's later claim of creating the entire Archie line lock, stock, & barrel, along with incredible press interviews where he claimed he'd based Archie on his youthful observations of middle-American life, the characters on kids he'd known in high school, and the Betty vs. Veronica conflict on two young women he'd met in a casual encounter during his merry youth. None of it rings true, especially compared with the early days of the strip where it's obvious the staff is experimenting and a lot of the standard elements weren't fully formed at first. (In the first strip, Archie is a little younger than he would be later and Veronica isn't there yet.) Goldwater's later claims sound like long-after-the-fact rationalizing. So I don't disagree with you. And since I wasn't there at the time, and only know what I've heard over the years, I can't say I really know how Archie was created. I'm probably more generous to Goldwater than some people who were in a position to know more about the situation than I do. But by the same token, being able to spot a trend, arrange for a character to take advantage of it, and thereby make the company's fortune, isn't exactly worthless, either. --Dwight Decker From xanadude@hotmail.com Tue Sep 18 07:09:18 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: xanadude@hotmail.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_3_2_2); 18 Sep 2001 14:09:17 -0000 Received: (qmail 44866 invoked from network); 18 Sep 2001 14:09:16 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.26) by 10.1.1.224 with QMQP; 18 Sep 2001 14:09:16 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO hotmail.com) (216.33.237.33) by mta1 with SMTP; 18 Sep 2001 14:09:18 -0000 Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Tue, 18 Sep 2001 07:09:18 -0700 Received: from 4.18.85.2 by lw7fd.law7.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Tue, 18 Sep 2001 14:09:18 GMT X-Originating-IP: [4.18.85.2] To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Bcc: Subject: Re: [mightycomics] Web bit Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 14:09:18 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 18 Sep 2001 14:09:18.0378 (UTC) FILETIME=[819428A0:01C1404B] From: "Ray S" HE could be Greek Orthodox or Russian Orthodox - they are allowed to marry and are still priests.

I have only one thing to add: While Montana was alive and working on the Archie comic strip, Montana refered to himself as "the creator of Archie" in press materials, interviews, etc., and ArchieCo did not dispute it (Bob Montana died in the mid-seventies). I even remember seeing the trivia question "Who created Archie? Bob Montana" in a filler page in an Archie comic in late 70's. ArchieCo didn't start to claim Goldwater created Archie until 1980 or so . . . >> And got really vehement about it. A correspondent of mine exchanged some letters with John Goldwater about it in the '80s... As I recall, in the first reply, answering Gary's question, Goldwater was polite and pleasant, saying, yes, I created Archie. Then Gary replied with well, what about Montana and what he said? Starting to sound just a bit irritated, Goldwater answered with a piece of promo art that Montana had signed and lableled "John Goldwater's Archie." This was supposedly proof that Montana acknowledged Goldwater as creator and owner of the character. Unimpressed, Gary responded by asking specific questions about what Goldwater actually created and contributed to the strip as we know it today. ("Did you create Archie's jalopy, too?") Goldwater got really angry and defensive, accused Gary of bad motives for not believing him, and broke things off. I also recall ArchieCo made the publishers of some comics reference book that listed Montana as creator of Archie back down and insert an erratum crediting Goldwater... and Goldwater actually threatened the late Rich Morrissey with legal action over the issue, for something Rich said in print. Though not practicing, Rich was a lawyer by training and courtrooms held no terrors for him; he said he'd love to get Goldwater under oath and start questioning him about who did create Archie. Nothing more was heard, however. There may have been more here than just making sure the company's ownership of the character could never be disputed..like Goldwater making sure his obituaries read the way he wanted them before he left. --Dwight Decker From RJCroxton@aol.com Tue Sep 18 07:43:18 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: RJCroxton@aol.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_3_2_2); 18 Sep 2001 14:43:18 -0000 Received: (qmail 39530 invoked from network); 18 Sep 2001 14:43:18 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.26) by l7.egroups.com with QMQP; 18 Sep 2001 14:43:18 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-m08.mx.aol.com) (64.12.136.163) by mta1 with SMTP; 18 Sep 2001 14:43:17 -0000 Received: from RJCroxton@aol.com by imo-m08.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v31_r1.7.) id r.109.5d57d90 (4369) for ; Tue, 18 Sep 2001 10:42:55 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <109.5d57d90.28d8b76f@aol.com> Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 10:42:55 EDT Subject: Mighty Crusaders CDs To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="part1_109.5d57d90.28d8b76f_boundary" X-Mailer: AOL 6.0 for Windows US sub 10540 From: RJCroxton@aol.com --part1_109.5d57d90.28d8b76f_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit What I have been trying to do is put together a Mighty Crusaders Archives of the 1960s and 1980s.

First off, a tip of the Decker derby and a hearty "Well done!" for your creator interviews, Brad. They're something somebody should have done a long time ago when more of the old-timers were still with us, but I'm happy that somebody with drive and energy is doing it now. I've long been convinced that Harry Shorten was the unsung hero at MLJ. As editor, he probably had his hand in just about everything the company produced, and of course he had official co-credit for the Shield. To the extent that there was an MLJ Superhero Universe, my guess is that he was the guiding force. It's too bad he's no longer around to ask specific questions and sort out exactly what he did do. I have no doubt that he contributed a lot to Archie, too. You can imagine the progression. John Goldwater has a brainstorm. "Hey, let's do Henry Aldrich!" He turns to his staff. "Come up with something just like Henry Aldrich!" His staff being his editor, Harry Shorten, Shorten works something up, then turns it over to his people: a writer (whose name I forget but is given in the first Archie story -- Vic Bloom?) and an artist, Bob Montana. We now have a minimum of four people involved with Archie from the start, all contributing ideas, and probably having justification in their own minds, at least, to later claim to be _the_ creator of Archie. And probably after the passage of years, nobody could quite accurately remember who did what. Goldwater, however, being co-owner of the company that owned Archie, had a certain clout in that regard that the others didn't. I'm not sure how seriously to take the Betty and Veronica bit, though. Different hair colors is one way to distinguish characters who might otherwise look pretty much alike. If Betty had been a brunette, Veronica would have had to be a blonde. Besides, I think Montana had a completely different story about where HE got the characters. Shorten may not have been any too serious when he told his daughters the characters were based on them: family joke, maybe. --Dwight Decker From cobb78@hotmail.com Tue Sep 18 11:51:00 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: cobb78@hotmail.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_3_2_2); 18 Sep 2001 18:50:57 -0000 Received: (qmail 94420 invoked from network); 18 Sep 2001 18:50:57 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.27) by 10.1.1.224 with QMQP; 18 Sep 2001 18:50:57 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO hotmail.com) (216.33.149.24) by mta2 with SMTP; 18 Sep 2001 18:51:00 -0000 Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Tue, 18 Sep 2001 11:51:00 -0700 Received: from 63.16.131.39 by lw4fd.law4.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Tue, 18 Sep 2001 18:50:59 GMT X-Originating-IP: [63.16.131.39] To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Bcc: Subject: Re: [mightycomics] re: Archie Creators Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 18:50:59 +0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 18 Sep 2001 18:51:00.0141 (UTC) FILETIME=[DBD085D0:01C14072] From: "Bradley, Jessica, and Paul Cobb" Well, thanks for the Kind words, Dwight! You first off have to remember two things regarding my conversation: 1. She wasn't born until 1941, making a first-hand account of the goings on impossible. 2. It's been 60 years. BUT, she seemed to say that John Goldwater had NOTHING to do with the process...her exact words were: He was a businessman, schrewd one at that, but had no creative bone in his body except when it came to lying about creating Archie. So, take that for what it's worth. I also talked to Irwin Hasen today. He said his time with MLJ lasted all of 6 months, mainly beacause John Goldwater was a (this is off the record...) "Sleeze." ANd he told me Harry Shorten was one of the greatest guys in the comic book business ever! Irwin had moved on to DC (National) by 1940, but said he knows that Harry and Bob were the creators of Archie. So, take it for what it's worth. I love talking to feisty golden age artists!

Besides an article or two on MLJ's heroes over the years (including a funny one on the Mighty Web's henpecked homelife), somebody talked to ArchieCo honcho Mike Silberkleit and got some interesting quotes out of him. Although he was very unspecific, he did hint that plans are afoot to do something with ArchieCo's heroes, apparently both new and reprint material. He also hinted that Golden Age as well as later hero material might be reprinted in book form. As I said, he was not specific. Plans are so unformed at present that he even gave his e-mail address for people to write him and make suggestions about what they want to see. (I don't have his address to post here, unfortunately -- it was "mikes" something -- but maybe somebody will turn it up.) I think there's an opportunity for us here to at least get a word in, since we're the core bunch who would buy this stuff. For example, my first suggestion for any Golden Age reprint volume would be the death of the Comet/Hangman origin story from Pep #17. That was the one MLJ story old-time fans remembered, and the most important story MLJ ever did as far as innovation goes. After that one, everybody would probably have different choices, and I think a pretty thick volume could be assembled even if some stories had to be left out because they were just too gruesome or had non-PC ethnic characters.

Hey, Mighty Fans--

You folks might want to take a gander at this week's Comics Buyer's Guide, which
is a special Tribute to Archie's 60th Anniversary issue. Besides an article or
two on MLJ's heroes over the years (including a funny one on the Mighty Web's
henpecked homelife), somebody talked to ArchieCo honcho Mike Silberkleit and got
some interesting quotes out of him. Although he was very unspecific, he did hint
that plans are afoot to do something with ArchieCo's heroes, apparently both new
and reprint material. He also hinted that Golden Age as well as later hero
material might be reprinted in book form. As I said, he was not specific. Plans
are so unformed at present that he even gave his e-mail address for people to
write him and make suggestions about what they want to see. (I don't have his
address to post here, unfortunately -- it was "mikes" something -- but maybe
somebody will turn it up.)

I think there's an opportunity for us here to at least get a word in, since
we're the core bunch who would buy this stuff. For example, my first suggestion
for any Golden Age reprint volume would be the death of the Comet/Hangman origin
story from Pep #17. That was the one MLJ story old-time fans remembered, and the
most important story MLJ ever did as far as innovation goes. After that one,
everybody would probably have different choices, and I think a pretty thick
volume could be assembled even if some stories had to be left out because they
were just too gruesome or had non-PC ethnic characters. As for '60s Mighty
Comics reprints, I'd certainly insist they do the two-parter where the Shield
met a criminally inclined Web imitator in one story and then the real Web was
brought back to clear his name in the next story. That really knocked me for a
loop when I was a teenager because it was such an unexpected development. But
hey, we've probably all got our favorites and pet ideas for what we'd like to
see, so let's make sure Mr. Silberkleit isn't short on suggestions!

I'd be glad to donate my CDs of 1960s and 1980s Mighty Crusaders to help him reprint books.

His email address, as far as I remember, is MikeS@archieComics.com Feel free to send suggestions, but don't expect a response, as I've emailed him about 10 times over the past 6 months, just informing him of my website details, and asking if there would be a problem with it (with ArchieCo, that is). No response from him or anyone else with an ArchieComics.com address. Oh well Personal opinion, I think (if they do a decent amount of the DC Archive-esque books, as was suggested in the article I read online) they ought to do character books, as opposed to titles. Meaning, a Shield Archives instead of a Pep Archives. Either way, anything they do MUST include the Mighty Crusaders #4 from the 60's, Too Many Super-Heroes. It's a classic, and was the best selling of their 60's issues, to my knowledge.

I never really thought about trying to get in touch with any of them until I came across a recent picture of Irving Novick at a Comic Con LAST YEAR! So, using my brilliant intellect, I figured maybe some of the other creators were still alive as well, so I've gone about trying to contact them. Like I mentioned before, I talked to Harry Shorten's daughter yesterday, but she really had no info on the super-heroes of MLJ. I talked with Irwin Hasen this afternoon, and he's a great guy. I really wasn't expecting for the number I had to be the right one, and even if it was, I had no questions prepared, it was more of a "is this you?" type call whereby I'd request an interview. Well, he was more than ready to talk about his comic work. So, I sat down in front of the computer, opened Microsoft Works, and proceeded to type as fast as my fingers would go. He told me about creating WildCat over at DC, and how John Goldwater was a shady individual. He also mentioned (for those interested) that he does cover recreations of the books he did in the 40's (All-Star, Justice Society stuff, Green Lantern) and he also does drawings of GL and Wildcat (and I bet I could get him to do the Fox, whom he also said he created with Harry Shorten). I made some phone calls to about 5 different Irving Novicks throughought the country, and hopefully I'll get called back by one of them soon. (left messages). Bob Fujitani's phone was never answered, although I'm 90% sure he's still alive. Bill Vigoda called me back and left a message on my answering machine to call him tonight, so I think I will. I'll let you know what I learn!

(left > messages). I talked to Irving Novick a couple of years ago when I was gathering material for an article for Alter Ego (unfortunately, the article I was writing wasn't the article the editors wanted...). Novick was certainly gracious and willing to help (and his wife was so sweet and friendly I wanted to make her my new aunt), but after 60 years he really doesn't remember a whole lot of the details. (He didn't remember the Shield's costume had been changed to add trunks until I showed him a Pep cover reproduction...and he drew that cover.) Also, it was pretty much just a job for him. He did his assignments and turned them in, and didn't think much about the larger picture. You can probably get some good information from him, but you'll have to focus the questions on what he does remember. There was a CBG interview with him just recently, and it sounded like the interviewer didn't know enough about MLJ to help Novick's sometimes fuzzy recollection of dates. (I'm not saying this to fault Novick. We're fans -- we looked at stuff last week that he hasn't looked at since 1940, so of course we remember it better than he does.) As I recall, Novick lived on Long Island someplace. I think I have his address as of 1999 somewhere around at home, if you need it. --Dwight Decker From cobb78@hotmail.com Tue Sep 18 17:16:54 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: cobb78@hotmail.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_3_2_2); 19 Sep 2001 00:16:53 -0000 Received: (qmail 26304 invoked from network); 19 Sep 2001 00:16:52 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.26) by 10.1.1.222 with QMQP; 19 Sep 2001 00:16:52 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO hotmail.com) (216.33.149.42) by mta1 with SMTP; 19 Sep 2001 00:16:54 -0000 Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Tue, 18 Sep 2001 17:16:54 -0700 Received: from 63.16.131.67 by lw4fd.law4.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Wed, 19 Sep 2001 00:16:54 GMT X-Originating-IP: [63.16.131.67] To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Bcc: Subject: Re: [mightycomics] Golden Age interviews Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2001 00:16:54 +0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 19 Sep 2001 00:16:54.0235 (UTC) FILETIME=[62F67AB0:01C140A0] From: "Bradley, Jessica, and Paul Cobb" Dwight, If you could give me his address/phone #, it'd be GREAT! And also, if you'd be willing to share the intreview you did with him, I'm sure I, for one, would love to read it! Do you, perhaps, happen to know of any other MLJ'ers that are still around and could be contacted?

It's what you DO with it that matters." And in that sense, at least, Goldwater could be considered the creator of Archie. _A_ creator, not _the_ creator. As the usual story goes, Goldwater set the whole thing in motion by ordering up a teenage comedy strip based on Henry Aldrich, so he does have a part in it, even if Shorten, Montana, and Bloom did everything else. I don't interpret Iwerks' remark as really reflecting on who a creator is, though. As I read the quote, Iwerks was saying that creating something doesn't amount to anything if you don't do anything more than sit on it once it's created -- but you'd still be the creator. And you'd still be the creator if somebody else did the promoting for you. What I'm saying is that by the standard account, Goldwater at least suggested the idea. His later claims of creating the whole thing were absurd and unfair to the hired help who did the actual work, but he isn't without some share of the credit. --Dwight From positronic@aol.com Wed Sep 19 22:16:17 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: Positronic@aol.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_3_2_2); 20 Sep 2001 05:16:16 -0000 Received: (qmail 62895 invoked from network); 20 Sep 2001 05:16:16 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.27) by 10.1.1.223 with QMQP; 20 Sep 2001 05:16:16 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-m09.mx.aol.com) (64.12.136.164) by mta2 with SMTP; 20 Sep 2001 05:16:17 -0000 Received: from Positronic@aol.com by imo-m09.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v31_r1.7.) id r.65.1b055b08 (5713) for ; Thu, 20 Sep 2001 01:16:11 -0400 (EDT) Received: from web29.aolmail.aol.com (web29.aolmail.aol.com [205.188.222.5]) by air-id04.mx.aol.com (v80.17) with ESMTP id MAILINID46-0920011611; Thu, 20 Sep 2001 01:16:11 -0400 Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2001 01:16:11 EDT Subject: Re: [mightycomics] transmission recieved!

The Hollywood version is "No hit without a writ" -- meaning that lawsuits are prone to fly when something is successful. It's why there's a roadblock for aspiring screenwriters in that studios won't even look at scripts or proposals unless submitted through agents, just to avoid the merest appearance that somebody at the studio might have seen something in an unsolicited and unbought script that resembles something that turns up in a movie later. With collaborative properties that aren't clearly the product of one individual, sorting out the credit can be a problem. (Like who created Bugs Bunny? Several Warners directors made cartoons contributing to the character's evolution.) Whatever the injustice of the work for hire system, it did make things simple. The company owns the character, period, and it doesn't matter who did what. --Dwight From RJCroxton@aol.com Thu Sep 20 15:27:47 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: RJCroxton@aol.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_3_2_2); 20 Sep 2001 22:27:45 -0000 Received: (qmail 96044 invoked from network); 20 Sep 2001 22:27:45 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.142) by 10.1.1.222 with QMQP; 20 Sep 2001 22:27:45 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-r02.mx.aol.com) (152.163.225.98) by mta3 with SMTP; 20 Sep 2001 22:27:46 -0000 Received: from RJCroxton@aol.com by imo-r02.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v31_r1.7.) id r.124.4b2dd4b (25917) for ; Thu, 20 Sep 2001 18:27:01 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <124.4b2dd4b.28dbc734@aol.com> Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2001 18:27:00 EDT Subject: Re: [mightycomics] Mighty Crusaders CDs To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="part1_124.4b2dd4b.28dbc734_boundary" X-Mailer: AOL 6.0 for Windows US sub 10540 From: RJCroxton@aol.com --part1_124.4b2dd4b.28dbc734_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Brad, Did you get the 1960s Mighty Crusaders CDs I sent?

From that article I gleaned eight bits of information. 1. Steve Englehart was writing the Fly 2. Len Wein was writing the Hangman 3. Scott Fupol (an Archie guy) was editing the line 4. The Spectrum Comics line did an darker "Impact" (no resemblance to the originals, other than the name) 5. There was to be a Mr. Justice series 6. There was to be a Jaguar series 7. There was to be a Fox series 8. there were contracts "pending" for those titles... From this bit of info, I went on the net, doing searches, and came up with three other bits of information, thanks to a small paragraph written by Image Comics publisher (and creator of ShadowHawk), Jim Valentino. 1. Jim Valentino was going to do the Fox 2. Rob Liefeld was going to draw the Shield 3. Kelly Jones was the artist for the Hangman 4. There was to be a Mr. Justice series 5. There was to be a Jaguar series I am in the process of tracking down the people I know were involved in this venture, and I'm GOING TO GET THEM TO TALK!!!! (even if I have to torture them...) The SECOND imprint mentioned in the subject is this. Pied Piper Comics (some might remember their Ex-Mutants b/w series done by Ron Lim in the 80's) apparently had done a proposal for Archie to do the Mighty Crusaders. Scott Rosema (artist of the Public Service Announcements for Archie 2000) apparently did some of the art for that proposal, and he's still got it! Anyway, hope this info helps!

I wish I could have thought this up, and gotten the desire to do it BEFORE 4 months ago. Just think if I had started this project back when I first got an email account, and became addicted to the computer back in 1997...the MightyMLJ site would be MASSIVE! Anywho... I'd recommend going to the following link, and you can read a Gil Kane interview, where he mentions his MLJ work quite frequently (Gil Kane died last year) http://www.tcj.com/2_archives/i_kane.html I'm going to ask permission from the Comics Journal to reprint portions of this interview on my site, but if nothing else, a link will do.

Anyone want to call Archie? ArchieCo is usually pretty sharp on these things, I'm sure they will find out about it soon enough themselves. Usually I think ArchieCo goes overboard on trademark protection (like their reaction to PepComics.com, even though they hadn't used "Pep Comics" in years), but I think they would be right to complain about these new Crusaders. ArchieCo had been using the "Crusaders" name fairly often recently . . .

You are prodding my memories! I remember the announcement of Spectrum, in the Comic's Buyers Guide, and a month or so later the cancelation announcement. The original announcement included several pages of Kelly Jones's art for the Hangman (maybe even a 5-6 page sequence -- CBG published lots of 5-6 page previews of upcoming comics back then), and it was very much a combination of super-heroes and horror. When the cancelation was announced, I believe the cancelation had as muct to do with the upper management of ArchieCo not liking the dark direction the whole thing had taken as it did with money, etc. > The SECOND imprint mentioned in the subject is this.

This will be an interesting sidebar to your site, but don't give it too much weight. I'm sure their have been many failed proposals like this through the years. See the latest issue of Comic Book Artist (about Tower Comics) to see how many failed attempts there have been through the years to revive the THUNDER Agents . . . BTW, I reccommend that issue of CBA to all here. ArchieCo is mentioned quite a lot, since much of Tower's management came from ArchieCo (Samm Schwartz, Harry Shorten), and ArchieCo was involved in the first attempt to revive the THUNDER Agents (Somewhere, there exists a completed, unpublished "THUNDER Agents Meet The Mighty Crusaders" story). -- Shad Z. ^Q^ (ShadZ@rocketmail.com,ShadZ@email.com,Jackalope7@go.com) http://shadz.homestead.com/files/ HONK TO SEE PUPPIES Sign along US 287, Loveland CO _______________________________________________ Talk More, Pay Less with Net2Phone Direct(R), up to 1500 minutes free! http://www.net2phone.com/cgi-bin/link.cgi?143 From seajayventuresca@yahoo.ca Tue Sep 25 07:20:07 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: seajayventuresca@yahoo.ca X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_3_2_2); 25 Sep 2001 14:19:08 -0000 Received: (qmail 44281 invoked from network); 25 Sep 2001 14:18:27 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.26) by 10.1.1.221 with QMQP; 25 Sep 2001 14:18:27 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO n25.groups.yahoo.com) (10.1.1.41) by mta1 with SMTP; 25 Sep 2001 14:19:25 -0000 X-eGroups-Return: seajayventuresca@yahoo.ca Received: from [10.1.10.119] by mv.egroups.com with NNFMP; 25 Sep 2001 14:19:24 -0000 Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 14:19:22 -0000 To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: Blue Moon and MLJ Message-ID: <9oq3pa+mb9i@eGroups.com> User-Agent: eGroups-EW/0.82 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Length: 1084 X-Mailer: eGroups Message Poster X-Originating-IP: 209.239.12.108 From: "Jazzy Jon Gilbert" Hi, Folks; First off my email address is , not .com. As for the Blue Moon, MLJ thing I'm still looking for some artists who can draw in some styles from those forties superhero comics. A couple of folks have contacted me but no samples were mailed to me. I do my emailing from a library so I don't have time to look at samples online plus I can't open any files sent via email. So I need samples sent to me via regular mail. If anyone wants to contact me further about this feel free to email me. This won't pay but it gets good exposure. Steve Skeates is one of the writers for Blue Moon Comics Group. Blue Moon's URL by the way is . If you want to see a sample of my work there once at the site click on Vault of Shadows then Solomon Wyrd and a reprint of the first Solomon Wyrd story-which was originally published in Mystery Adventure Tales and is now being reprinted in Vault of Shadows-will come up. Also check the creators section. My bio is near the end. Any questions? Just email me. Jazzy Jon Gilbert.

Also, for clarification's sake, I am pretty sure that Jon's project is not using ACTUAL MLJ characters, but it is more of a tribute to the characters (example, Meteor instead of the Comet). So, it's a not really an MLJ comic, but one that definately nods it hat to MLJ. This right, Jon?

ANY and EVERY character who appeared in a Red Circle/Archie Adventure book (and was a hero of some sort) will be on the site (although getting each individual Agent of Atlantis might not be done, and a general Agents thing there instead). The THUNDER Agents, will get more mention on the "Imprints" section of the site, under Red Circle (when I get around to doing that part). The THUNDER Agents were originally supposed to be an integral part of the Red Circle universe, with the first "New" Red Circle book supposed to be the THUNDER Agents/Mighty Crusaders crossover. As for your other questions? Let me cut and paste: >>>Red Circle/Archie Adventure published several characters whose ownership has been debated, like Darkling (did she revert back to Rich Buckler?)<<< I think she was created for the series, and I really doubt Rich Buckler wanted her back, or would bother putting up a fight for her. She is still Archie's as far as I can tell. But don't bet on ever seeing her again. She's one of the dead people that they chose to leave dead. >>>>the Agents of Atlantis<<<< Ditto on that one as well. If anyone has claim to it other than Archie, it'd be Mark Manhart and the other guy who worked on it (Mark was the artist, I think, but I don't remember). >>>>>Thunderbunny (it's Marty Griem's all the way)<<<<< Yup on that one. His first appearance actually pre-dates the Red Circle stuff, so Archie really has no claim at all on this one even if they wanted. >>>>the THUNDER Agents (see thunderagents.com for that whole mess)<<<<< Truth be told, I never really saw it as much of a mess. I mean, there were people who decided that they were in public domain, but John C bought them fair and square from Tower, and Wally Wood's estate gave their blessing. So, the only real claim that could be made was that Tower screwed up on some of their books with including the trademark info, which was the loophole some people were looking for to use the characters. <<<<>>>>> This one is easy. Mr Buckler owns this guy outright. They included it in the Mighty Crusaders book because of some deadline constraints (which is also why Mighty Crusaders #6 featured nothing but Original Shield stories). The ads for the Galaxia magazine said all contents were TM Rich Buckler, so I'd go with that. The MightyMLJ site is not complete by any stretch of the imagination (and trying to get all the artists/writers/editors of each of the lines is a tedious task, because I'm going though each individual book to find them out....YUK!!) Anywho, the site was updated on the 25th, and will be updated again next week (today I get to see an ultrasound of my 2nd child, and tomorrow is my birthday, so I'm taking the day off of everything!)

I prefer inspired or influenced by MLJ characters. There are also characters influenced by other companies characters or concepts. Captain Sentinel and the Lads of Liberty are influenced by Kirby's kid gangs and Captain America for example. Meteor is one of the MLJ influenced characters. There is also going to be a star-spangled character, a Steel Sterling type, a Mr. Justice type and others. I'm not gonna kill of Meteor, though. :-) Jazzy Jon.

My understanding was that John C. had come up with an agreement with Archie that he would handle the editorial aspects, they the printing and distribution and they would share the profits (something along the lines of what was going on in the 40s with DC and All-American) but in essence they were seperate companies. Archie was not in any way intersted in owning the Tower characters. The only reason the final installment of that Thunder Agents story arc appeared in Blue Ribbon was to wrap up the story plus to conclude Archie's obligations to John. And the again I could be totally wrong. I could email John C. about all of this if you like. Jazzy Jon. P.S. The less said about Agents of Atlantis the better I think.

They agreed, "with a handshake". The first book was to be a THUNDER Agents/Mighty Crusaders crossover, and they were supposed to one cohesive universe from that point on. Actually, if you want, I'll throw John C's summary of the story he wrote up here. We've been in email correspondance for a month or so, and I'm just getting some basic things down before getting to the interview portion. John C is the one who brought in Rich Buckler. Archie then decided to go with Buckler as the head editor instead of John C, partly, I think, because there were now questions about the ownership of the THUNDER Agents. But, given their prior agreement, they did promise to distribute John's Agents books, and only threw in the final chapter in Blue Ribbon because the regular story wasn't completed yet, and they had a deadline to meet. So, if anyone is interested in the Agents/Crusaders team-up story, let me know and I'll post it (John already gave me permission for that).

A FEW WEKS AGO--BRAD --------------------------------------------------------- We open with...hmmm, only 20 years and I don't remember... Mog, a Wally Wood demon from Red Circle reappears, he's of magic and weak. He detects magic from Fly and Fly-girl in Paris. they are romantically together when in middle of night he mesmerizes Kim Brand out into the night . Tom becomes the Fly and challenges the Demon . Mog detects stron magic powering the FLy and teleports away with Kim. Thunder Agents fight a giant robot in Washinton square park in Greenwich Village. Dynamo turns on his belt to leap into flying car driven by Noman, who moves it out of way because he realizes at 1000 lbs, Dynamo would've smashed it. They get to the park. Raven intro'd with amazing googles that do a lot of things like infra-red, binoculars, etc. Lightning can't stop the robot yet. Dynamo gets punched through the street into the sewers below. As the fight rages on, suddenly the robot stops. We look below and a gloved hand from an open manhole cover has him by the leg. It drags the robot down into the sewer. We get a double page spread with the agents on the street level and below: Dynamo on a ledge in the sewer below giving him near equal height to the robot squaring off. The robot emeges from teh sewer victorious, oops it's only it's head being hoisted first by Dynamo the real victor. We meet the Red Circle guys individually. First Black Hood who witness a girl walking her doberman being run over by a car being chased by police. Cops get shot and crash. Hood goes through alley knowing villains have to come up other stree. He drives at them drivng right over their forign car with upslanted car hood. they crash as he shoots. The remaing villain gets out and laughs his lawyer will have him out of jail soon. Hood raises gun and says he won't arrest him . Confused crook but behind him we see girl's angry,very angry, doberman. Shield from rooftop looks down thinking that's not the hood I knew. suddenly attcked by 2 new villains trying to avenge their father's incarcerations by original shield. Well turns out this is the original shield animated by the bio electricity of the Simon Kirby shield. But he still has stone like density and newly found strength. Bullets can't hurt him. He defeats these super villains and is trying to get to...The Comet who battles alien assassins taht appear in his lab (who he will later go into outer space to battle along with Shield as partner.Kind of a superman/gl team) we discover that Comet in his red and white uniform did not really need the helmet as it was a decoy to villains. Papers talk of American vigilante, the Fly, terrorizing criminals across Europe (looking for clues to Fly girl) So Un calls in thunder, while Crusaders fly over to help Fly. They meet in Countryside of England where they battle. be4 Dynamo and Fly square off they through a field of magic. Fly battles Mog and Dynamo a Dragon holding Kim Brand. Mog runs before the power of an angry Fly. and of course Dynamo befriends the Dragon, he was battling, who is upset he was lied to that Kim is mated already to the Fly. That's the basic story muddled by 20 years without the details like where Tom and Kim in paris leave the Balcony and the doors shut behind them and the interior lights go out. Buckler made it sound like I planned an orgy to get the story killed. John who wasted a lot of time getting those details and planning ahead like with the aliens intrusion and changing names on Kirby Shield To Captain Strong. Stroy would still hold up if a revanp was to be done. It would fit somewhere between Marel and DC style. Tight stories ala DC and free wheeling batle and fun ala Marvel. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp From Deklane@aol.com Thu Sep 27 16:05:50 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: Deklane@aol.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_4_1); 27 Sep 2001 23:04:33 -0000 Received: (qmail 82570 invoked from network); 27 Sep 2001 23:04:33 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.142) by 10.1.1.221 with QMQP; 27 Sep 2001 23:04:33 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-d05.mx.aol.com) (205.188.157.37) by mta3 with SMTP; 27 Sep 2001 23:05:49 -0000 Received: from Deklane@aol.com by imo-d05.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v31_r1.7.) id r.153.1ab5e46 (15859) for ; Thu, 27 Sep 2001 19:05:47 -0400 (EDT) Received: from web32.aolmail.aol.com (web32.aolmail.aol.com [205.188.222.8]) by air-id05.mx.aol.com (v80.17) with ESMTP id MAILINID510-0927190547; Thu, 27 Sep 2001 19:05:47 -0400 Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 19:05:46 EDT Subject: Re: [mightycomics] THUNDER Agents/Mighty Crusaders crossover To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Unknown (No Version) Message-ID: <153.1ab5e46.28e50acb@aol.com> From: Deklane@aol.com All this certainly brings back a few memories... I was living in Connecticut at the time (1981/82), working for Fantagraphics. But when I heard that John Carbonaro had plans for bringing back the MLJ/Mighty characters, I kind of invited myself to join his merry crew as a peripheral hanger-on. I can't say I ever contributed anything substantial to the venture, but I did sit in on a conference between John C. and the ArchieCo staff at the ArchieCo offices. One of the editors even gave us celluloid Shield G-Man Club badges as souvenirs (leftovers that had been sitting in a drawer for about 35 years) -- wish I still had mine, but it went missing in the 20 years since. (It sort of made up for my embarrassment in getting the date of the conference wrong and showing up at the ArchieCo offices two days early. But as I made my red-faced way out, the receptionist asked me to mail a letter for her as long as I was going outside and passing a mailbox. The letter was to John Goldwater, then in retirement in Florida...) After 20 years, I can't really remember much about the discussion between John C. and the ArchieCo staff. Well, maybe a couple of things... 1. Reviving the "MLJ" brand as a name for a line of comic books was not considered an option, as it would open cans of legal worms. 2. Mighty Comics #50 used up the last of their Mighty Comics material. There weren't any leftover Paul Reinman-drawn stories intended for #51 and #52 lying unpublished in a drawer. --Dwight Decker In a message dated Thu, 27 Sep 2001 5:56:41 PM Eastern Daylight Time, "Bradley, Jessica, and Paul Cobb" writes: > John C was brought in to be the main editor, and the revivor of the Mighty > Crusaders (because he proposed the revival to Archie).

That's why this and other clubs are so helpful to me. Speaking of clubs yesterday I established Blue Moon Comics Madness, a club for Blue Moon Comics fans and creators at Yahoo clubs. If anyone is interested in joining the URL is . Blue Moon Comics Group is the company that will be publishing the MLJ inspired characters I am looking for artists for and is currently publishing- or rather republishing-my Solomon Wyrd series (beginning with issue #3 of Vault of Shadows). We still have a lot of things to set up at the club but it is definitely up and running if anyone is interested. And speaking of the MLJ inspired characters, I'm trying to come up with a title for the quarterly anthology that they will appear in but so far no such luck. If anyone has any MLJ inspired suggestions it would be appreciated. While there will be characters inspired by other publishers of the forties I am going to have a lot of MLJ ones to be sure. So fire away, folks. I'm open to ideas. Jazzy Jon.

While he didn't have a very heroic name he did have super-powers and a costume so I would regard him as the first. Interestingly, Wizard had the name but not the costume. I think he got a costume later on, didn't he? As for those missing stories someone else will have to answer those for you. Jazzy Jon.

The WIzard or Bob Phantom? >> Hard to say. They debuted the same month (Wizard in Top Notch #1 and Bob Phantom in Blue Ribbon #2). There are some technicalities, so perhaps some council of wisemen meeting in solemn conclave could issue a ruling. In his first few appearances, the Wizard looked like a stage magician. Though he had definite super-powers at first, he did not acquire a more conventional super-hero costume until a little later. So was he really a super-hero at the start? As for Bob Phantom, somebody mentioned here recently that he came out of a shop and as I recall may have appeared elsewhere than in MLJ publications. So did he appear before Blue Ribbon #2 in some other company's comic? Or, if you REALLY wanted to get technical, Blue Ribbon #2 and Top Notch #1 are both cover-dated December 1939, which meant they both appeared in October '39...but did they appear the same week or were MLJ's monthlies staggered? So if Top-Notch #1 appeared a week before Blue Ribbon #2, the Wizard would be the first MLJ hero...but I don't have information that finely detailed. Some comics in my collection have dealers' date stamps on them...(I have a Blue Ribbon #21 dated December 10, 1941...the Wednesday after Pearl Harbor Sunday...and I've sometimes wondered what the mood was in that New York newsstand when that comic was put out...) but I don't have any dates for Blue Ribbon #2 or Top Notch #1. As I recall, people who've compiled MLJ checklists or written articles about the company's heroes usually consider the Wizard and Bob Phantom tied as MLJ's first heroes since they did appear the same month. --Dwight Decker From cobb78@hotmail.com Sat Sep 29 15:56:31 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: cobb78@hotmail.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_4_1); 29 Sep 2001 22:56:30 -0000 Received: (qmail 75316 invoked from network); 29 Sep 2001 22:56:30 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.142) by l10.egroups.com with QMQP; 29 Sep 2001 22:56:30 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO hotmail.com) (216.33.149.69) by mta3 with SMTP; 29 Sep 2001 22:56:30 -0000 Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Sat, 29 Sep 2001 15:56:30 -0700 Received: from 63.16.131.162 by lw4fd.law4.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Sat, 29 Sep 2001 22:56:30 GMT X-Originating-IP: [63.16.131.162] To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Bcc: Subject: Re: [mightycomics] FIRST MLJ hero? and whatever happened to...

So, it may have appeared earlier in the month. As for the not-published issues? The Fly issue that was never published was written, but never completely drawn, if I remember correctly (re: Martin Greim's comments in my interview) No telling with the Blue Ribbon book,as I haven't gotten a chance to interview Robin Snyder about it yet. The Mighty Crusaders issue? Don't recall it ever being done either (seems to me there was months between issues), based on my interviews, but I'll make it a point to ask Robin about that one as well for you. The entire line was cancelled wholesale, so I would guess that unless they had a really good artist (speed-wise) that there would not have been many COMPLETED stories that were never published (although we know Dick Ayers had already drawn the next Original Shield issue) Brad http://www.MightyMLJ.com/interviews.html _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp From xanadude@hotmail.com Mon Oct 01 13:21:26 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: xanadude@hotmail.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_4_1); 1 Oct 2001 20:20:01 -0000 Received: (qmail 18256 invoked from network); 1 Oct 2001 20:20:01 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.27) by 10.1.1.223 with QMQP; 1 Oct 2001 20:20:01 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO hotmail.com) (216.33.237.160) by mta2 with SMTP; 1 Oct 2001 20:21:25 -0000 Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Mon, 1 Oct 2001 13:21:25 -0700 Received: from 4.18.85.2 by lw7fd.law7.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Mon, 01 Oct 2001 20:21:24 GMT X-Originating-IP: [4.18.85.2] To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Bcc: Subject: Martin Greim's In joke against Ditko?

It's called The US Comics Exchange, but it's not about selling or buying comics! No, this list will be for people who are interested in and willing to participate in package exchanges of a pound of comics (or more, to be determined by the group as a whole) every month or so (again, this will be better determined by the group). By joining, you get on the mailing list to receive these comics yourself, and you have to send some comics of your own. Basically, the first person on the list sends his first package to the second person on the list, the second person sends his first to the third person, etc., and when the next cycle begins, the packages go to the next person on the list! All packages are sent media rate, to keep it on the cheap side. Does this sound fun? Do you want the surprise of getting a bunch of comics every month, not knowing what you'll get to read, and be able to pass along some books you've got you don't care to keep any longer? Then just head on over to the homepage and sign up at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ComicsExchangeUS I think this will be real fun, and I hope a lot of people get going on it. Oh, almost forgot, because of the cost of postage for international shipments, I've got to limit this to peopl with a US address only (but if someone wants to start an international exchange, that's cool by me). Thanks for taking the time to read this... I now return you to you standard message threads. Jon B.

I'd mostly stay in-continuity, figuring the stories (for the most part) that had been published by Archie in the past happened -- except the real stupid stuff, like that last issue of the Red Circle Mighty Crusaders book, where everything changed. I'd start with one title the first two months... the Mighty Crusaders. The line-up would be the Fly, original Shield, Fly-Girl II (the daughter of the Fly and the original Fly-Girl, born after their breakup, and Tommy had no idea she existed until the first issue), Comet (with the version of the costume that I did for the MightyMLJ pages), the Web (this might be the son of the original) and the Black Hood (or at least, the latest Black Hood). This title would be a double-sized title, at least initially, so the last half of the book could be shorter stories with the other characters. It would be somewhat similar in feel to the current JSA book, where the original members who have an excuse to not have aged could still be active (like Shield and Comet certainly... I figure since Tommy Troy changes into the Fly, and the Fly never aged, no matter what Tommy's age, the Fly would still be young and vital). The new Web would be the son of the original Web, and he might not be as happy about being a super-hero as his dad was. His mother would either be passed away (perhaps she went to the scene of a battle the Web was involved in, and since he couldn't save her, he hung up his costume then, but wants his son to carry on). The current Black Hood might even be a woman... no reason why it couldn't be, and it would add some gender balance to the group. The villains would be the usual assortment, tweaked here and there. Private Strong, the other Shield, didn't really die in the Red Circle comic... he was buried under the earth for a time until he was released. Due to the nature of his powers, he was able to survive, but now he's General Strong, heading up an office in Washington to monitor the heroes, some of whom have still been active, although the Crusaders as a group had long disbanded until recent events brought new and old heroes together. The initial storyline would feature pretty much all the Archie heroes, one way or another, even if they're just appearing on a few pages to help move the plot along. When MC #3 comes out, that same month would see the second title... Red Circle Presents. I'd treat this as the Archie Heroes Brave and the Bold/DC Comics Presents title, with team-ups between one of the regular Crusaders and probably one non-Crusader. Stories would be more in the mold of the 70s B&B, with room for a back-up story, which could be a rotating series of three-parters. A quarterly title, introduced shortly after that, would be Blue Ribbon Comics, an 80-Page Giant reprinting classic tales from the Gold and Silver Ages. After six months to a year, the first solo title would come out. This would likely be The Fly, if the popularity warrants. With those first four titles, it's a waiting game to see how sales are doing. I'd like to introduce an anthology title, but unfortunately, I don't believe that Top Notch, Zip or Pep Comics would be good titles to sell these days. The anthology title might just be named Crusaders (Would you believe Mighty Adventures?), and would be a quarterly or bi-monthly (dependent on sales) book like the Dollar Comics version of World's Finest. One of the more popular Crusader members would probably lead off this title. There would have to be a minimum three-year guarantee from Archie before I'd sign with them to do this, with the Mighty Crusaders title being a monthly book for the full three years, and the other titles staying consistent as well. Characters slated for appearances in the back-ups or anthology titles would definitely include the Jaguar (who may be more of a full-time hero these days), the Fox (either the original or a new one), a new Hangman, and many, many others. There may even be some brand-new heroes created, as well as some brand-new villains. I'd also push for trade paperbacks in the Archives style (call them Chronicles) to reprint stories with all one character, or all the Crusader appearances. I'd also push to get some kind of cartoon deal and action figure deal developed, with a good line of toys available. That's about all I have time for now...

To begin with, I'd keep as much of the continuity from the '40s and '60s as feasible, and probably none from the '80s (ignoring Impact altogether). Here are my thoughts on some of the individual characters: STEEL STERLING - Steel is the most famous and beloved ultrahero in the world, and also the only one whose identity is pubicly known (he's also obscenely rich, but channels almost all his wealth into charitible agencies and foundations). Steel might seem like a squeaky-clean boy scout at first, but despite this, he's neither naive nor a dummy - he's not a 'genius', but he is highly intelligent; he's that rarity, a true stand-up forthright guy, who believes in humanity, doing the right thing, and using all his resources to help the downtrodden. Since the metallurgical accident that transformed him into an indestructible (and seemingly immortal) being of prodigous strength in the 1940s, his fame as an adventurer and humanitarian has grown by leaps and bounds. He inhabits a skyscraper headquarters in downtown Capitol City, where many of his various charitible efforts are administered from, and where many people come seeking his help. Steel has made his fortune mostly through his own fame, having a lucrative string of licensing deals - movies are made of his exploits, action figures, and everything from breakfast cereal to underwear with his name on it. He runs a health food franchise, and a string of gymnasiums (Steel is the President's Advisor to the National Council on Physical Fitness), and is constantly seen on TV doing public service announcements. Steel also holds the patent on his late father's discovery, an anti-gravity metal from which he made a personal antigrav belt (were it not for the extreme expense and difficulty of producing the metal in any great quantity, it would have profoundly impacted the culture; as it is, the US government has the exclusive contract to the metal). Steel has a loose association with the Crusaders, although he's not a regulation member (although he can always be drafted for a specific crisis, he's normally too busy with his own activities, but he provides a lot of support services for the group). Steel frankly enjoys his fame, wears his costume in public most of the ti me, and is never too busy to sign an autograph for a young fan, but he's not vain, as most people would expect. I would keep Steel's adventures mostly realistic, having him fight human-level menaces and natural disasters, and keeping him mostly clear of the supervillains. BLACK HOOD - Mike Burland is the latest in a long line of Black Hoods going back hundreds of years (his grandfather was the famous Black Hood of the Golden Age of heroes), and also the scion of a long line of cops. I would keep this series mostly gritty and realistic, utilizing all the latest police techniques and anti-crime tech to give it an urban crime feel. Yes, the Black Hood DOES use guns in his battle against crime, but will avoid taking human life unless absolutely necessary. He wears a variation of the classic costume - black leather hood, gloves, and boots, and yellow bodysuit, along with a gunbelt and bulletproof equipment vest, and usually rides a highly-customized motorcycle. The idea here would be to heavily research guns, police equipment, etc. for a feeling of versimilitude, as in essence, Black Hood is a "supercop". He works outside the law, seeking true justice, since in his civilian ID he's a private investigator, having been ejected from the force on trumped-up charges (the police de partment in BH's city are now hopelessly corrupt). BH would be a regular member of the Crusaders, although like Batman, he's never completely comfortable among these ultrahumans. I'd probably have a running thread in his stories with BH coming into contention with the Hangman, whose methods BH detests, although he's conflicted, since at base they're both technically vigilantes. Which leads us to... THE HANGMAN - Hangman is a true old-style "string 'em up" vigilante in the Punisher mold. He's a morally gray character, although his all his victims are the scum of the earth. Hangman wears a micro-mesh Kevlar bulletproof costume, with only his rope as a weapon, although his most effective weapon is the fear he inspires in his victims. Hangman is a master of several different martial arts, but his main methods are the garrote and the noose - he's not so much out to prevent crime as he is for pure vengeance, leaving his victims swinging at the end of a rope. Hangman probably wouldn't have his own series (maybe just some backup stories, and guest appearances in other characters' series, primarily the Black Hood's). I haven't decided yet what exactly his relationship to the original Hangman of the '40s might be. THE COMET - This Comet would be the original hero from the '40s, having been made immortal due to Altroxian science. His adventures would cast him in much more of the role of a 'cosmic' hero, having a huge orbiting space vehicle, and his ability to fly at sublight speeds, and his disintegrating vision (which he never uses to kill). The costume would be the basic original one, with a cooler-looking visor and a 'full of stars' look to his black bodysuit when he's using his power (his legs virtually disappear when he's using his blasting power to fly). Comet would be the the motivating force behind the formation of the Crusaders, and he jealously guards the alien Altroxian technology from all but the Crusaders' use. THE JAGUAR - Using his totem belt from a Central American shaman, Jaguar has the abilty to call on the all the powers of the mammalian kingdom (I would play this as somewhere between Animal Man and the Black Panther). There would have to be some limits on this, however, and he couldn't fly (I'd dispense with the jet-belt he used in the '60s). In his civilian ID he's a zoologist, and does a lot of fighting for ecological causes (although I wouldn't make this too strident or preachy). As the latest recipient of the totem-belt, he's the most recent in a long line of animal-avatars, although he'd probably only discover this history gradually. He'd also be a Crusaders regular. THE WEB - A relative of the original Web, the new Web is a university professor of criminology and psychology in his civilian ID. He uses expert techniques of detection and psychological warfare to combat criminals and cause them to be "caught in their own web" of deceit. He's also very handy with gadgetry, surveillance equipment, and is very computer-saavy. The idea here would be to have tricky stories where the Web manages to manipulate events and people so that he winds up pitting criminals against each other, or having a criminal essentially cause his own downfall. He does an awful lot of work behind the scenes to hunt down criminals and set them up for defeat, and putting on the costume is only the final step in the process. His methods probably wouldn't tend to work all that well in a large public group like the Crusaders, so he probably won't be a member. As the Web, he's somewhat of a wild card to law-enforcement agencies, and while he's not officially wanted by the law, most members of the off icial police would look askance at his involvment. Others might welcome his help, but mainly, he remains an unknown element to the police. Likewise, criminals might not always be aware of what side he's on, and he might use that factor to his advantage. The Web, moreso than any other character, is considered a man of mystery. I haven't decided what his motivation to fight crime might be yet. Well, this has gone on a bit long now, so I'll sign off for now. I'm sure I'll have some thoughts on the Fly, the Shield, the Fox, Mr. Justice and the Mighty Crusaders in a later post.

Just someting interesting I found on the web site of Jack Kirby's friend and biographer, Mark Evanier (at http://www.povonline.com/JackFaq1.htm ): <<< Q: Apart from Sandman #1 in 1974, was The Fly (1959) the last Simon-Kirby collaboration? A: The Fly was the last published work by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, excepting that Sandman comic and some leftover material done before The Fly but published later. However, The Fly was not a product of the Simon-Kirby shop in the same way comics like Black Magic and Boys' Ranch had been. The Fly was a product of Joe Simon who, in turn, hired Jack to do some of the artwork. (Jack claimed he did all his work for the first two issues over one weekend. That's probably not true but he didn't spend a lot more time than that. Some of what appears to be Kirby in those issues and #3 and #4 is, in fact, a case of Jack's work being imitated by someone else.) >>> -- Shad Z. ^Q^ (ShadZ@rocketmail.com,ShadZ@email.com,Jackalope7@go.com) http://shadz.homestead.com/files/ HONK TO SEE PUPPIES Sign along US 287, Loveland CO _______________________________________________ Talk More, Pay Less with Net2Phone Direct(R), up to 1500 minutes free! http://www.net2phone.com/cgi-bin/link.cgi?143 From xanadude@hotmail.com Sat Oct 13 10:53:37 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: xanadude@hotmail.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-7_4_1); 13 Oct 2001 17:53:33 -0000 Received: (qmail 53236 invoked from network); 13 Oct 2001 17:53:33 -0000 Received: from unknown (10.1.10.26) by 10.1.1.222 with QMQP; 13 Oct 2001 17:53:33 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO n20.groups.yahoo.com) (10.1.2.66) by mta1 with SMTP; 13 Oct 2001 17:53:33 -0000 X-eGroups-Return: xanadude@hotmail.com Received: from [10.1.10.67] by n20.groups.yahoo.com with NNFMP; 13 Oct 2001 17:53:33 -0000 Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2001 17:53:30 -0000 To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Subject: Steve Englehart scripts for sale?

"The Adventures of the Jaguar #1" premiered in September, 1961, joining Archie's other popular super-hero title of the time, "The Adventures of the Fly." Both titles ultimately led to "The Mighty Crusaders," a super-team of past (the super-heroes Archie published in the 1940s as MLJ Publications), present and future heroes that occasionally make special appearances to this day. The amazing exploits of the Jaguar began when famed Zoologist Ralph Hardy went on a unique archeological dig he'd never forget. After all, if a real-live, giant serpent suddenly appeared as you were dusting off fossils, you'd call it unique too, right? Fate was with Ralph that day-- taking cover in an ancient temple, Ralph discovers a belt. But this is no ordinary belt. It's inscription reads: "He who loves the animal kingdom may wear this belt and be transformed into a human Jaguar!" ...and sure enough, despite Ralph's skepticism, he did indeed become the superhero known as the Jaguar! Now, he finds himself in the middle of a story even more bizarre than his recent guest-stints alongside his fellow Crusaders in the pages of "Archie's Weird Mysteries." Not only are his co-stars Sabrina and Salem, but... he's a villain!!! Can it be so? There's only one way to find out-- reserve your copy of SABRINA #30 today!!! SABRINA #30, ships 3/1. 32-page, full color comic, $1.99 US; $2.39 CANADA. Guest-starring The Jaguar from The Mighty Crusaders! "It's in the JAG!": The popular hero, The Jaguar, last seen fighting alongside his fellow Mighty Crusaders in "Archie's Weird Mysteries" #3 and #14, is back... as a villain?! It seems he's up to no good, doing the bidding of the evil Rememberer, who believes himself to be the reincarnation of an Incan Sun-God-- with plans to upend the jungle and rebuild the Incan Empire! He's using the Jaguar's ability to control all wild life to create an animal army that will shield him from those who oppose him. But is the Jaguar cooperating willingly? Sabrina and Salem, called into the fray by their South American friend Llandra, aim to find out! Can an adolescent girl on the verge of enchantment and a human-turned-cat defeat a crazed madman who has one of the most powerful titans ever as a henchman? It's the weirdest, wildest, wackiest story a Mighty Crusader ever was embroiled in! SCRIPT: Mike Gallagher. ART: Dave Manak.

The Steve Englehart interview has been expanded, inclouding his email address for those interested in getting copies of the Spectrum Comics Fly books he wrote. The Jim Valentino interview is up. He was slated to write/draw the Fox from Spectrum, but that didn't happen. He later worked with Paul Castiglia on the mini-origins, and a "talked about" Crusaders revival. The idea was even brought up to have it done by Image Comics.....read the interview for the lowdown. Two stories have been added to the fanfic page. One is the prelude for our own Ray S's Mighty Crusaders 2001: Curse of the Red Circle, and the other is actually a proposal written up and sent to DC by DarkMark, featuring Mr. Justice. It's really cool reading, trust me. I'll also be posting Richard's Web story in a day or so, as well as DarkMark's Mighty Crusaders serial he's currently working on. I'm going to work on the Imprint section on my hard drive today, so look for that section to have some meat to it in the next week. That's all for now!

Another Mighty Crusaders appearance, this time in B/W! If you remember the Red Circle/Archie Adventure line, you'll remember the title ThunderBunny that lasted all of 1 issue. Thunderbunny also appeared in Pep #393 and in Blue Ribbon #13 (I think that's the right #). In the Blue Ribbon issue, he crossed over with the Mighty Crusaders. Then the line was cancelled. Thunderbunny then went to Warp/Apple Comics and lasted 10+ issues. In the first issue from this company (b/w magazine sized), the story takes place immediately after the events in the Blue Ribbon issue. Therefore, there are a decent number of flashbacks, featuring new art retelling the Crusaders crossover. So, there you go. Another Mighty Crusaders appearance to add to the official list of their appearances.

He died unexpectedly November 6th, apparently after a long bout of illness. He was a wonderfully nice person to me, and was genuinely impressed that someone wanted to know stuff about his work with Red Circle. He sent me a hand-written response to my interview questions, which ended with the quote "Thank you for your interest in my scribblings." He will be missed.

This is a HUGE interview (in importance), in case you didn't know. Mr. Silberkleit was the main man at Archie during the Red Circle era, the Spectrum era, Impact, and even still today during the Archie 2000 stuff. He would have a very unique insight on the characters, as well as being privy to the behind-the-scenes stuff that we don't fully understand (like Red Circle changing to Archie Adventure, Rich Buckler's departure, John Carbonaro's Red Circle THUNDER Agents/Crusaders crossover, Spectrum Comics in general, the future of the Crusaders, the reprinting possibilities, etc.....) Anyway, I'm taking question suggestions right now, as I know there's stuff I'll forget to ask that you guys might be interested in. Anyway, chat at you later!

Everyone,
Earlier I received what I took to be a post from
the list by someone named 'Scotty Moran'.  The
subject line had something to do with 'The Fly Movie'
There was also an attachment.
Did anyone else receive this?

That's all it was?
I brought it up because when I opened up the attachment,
my computer suddenly developed all kinds of problems.
I couldn't find evidence of a virus but it's taken me
almost eight hours of diligent effort to restore everything
to normal.

Then, when I popped over here, I saw that this 'Scotty Moran'
hadn't sent it to the entire list.  Yet the only place he could
have gotten my addy in conjunction with knowledge of my interest
in Mighty Comics was from here, so I figured he might be
a list member.

Anyway, thanks.
David





I opened up the attachment and nothing happened to my computer. I'd like to know if the person sending these e-mails is doing this on purpose and trying to mess up people's computers. I for one will be less trusting about opening attachments from now on.

Top tool bar, click on EDIT

unclick the options

Wanting to expand my collecting of other companies I added Caspar and Ritchie Rich teamup (or whatever it was called, Harvey's version of WORLD'S FINEST) and ARCHIES MAD HOUSE.... I selected Mad House because itwasn't published that often (4 times a year?) so it was affordable and often there would be superhero spoofs within, also it was sort of Archies version of MAD Magazine.... So I collected it until it was cancelled, and have been back issue hunting loosely since then.....at the last big boston convention I found a copy of issue #46 from 1966 (published SEVEN? times a year)....this "era" of Madhouse coincided with the MIGHTY era for MLJ.....and CLYDE was still the Alfred E. Neuman/Kilroy wuz here knockoff before he transmogrified into an Archie teenager clone.... There is an absolute GEM of a story within for MLJ superhero collectors, these heroes seem to have appeared before or maybe give a sense that they may appear again.....the UNION OF SUPERHEROES, the STEELMEN, CARBO MAN......CAPT SPROCKET....a character that may be the FLY (green costume, blue gloves and mask, with antennea on his head), another guy next to him in an orange shirt with a musical note on his chest, two other one panel members of the USH....a guy with a crew cut and an purple outfit and white lined gloves (reading an issue of SABRINA), a guy with red hair, yellow outfit and "aqualad" style gloves... Carbo Man joins the USH in order to fight the JEWEL GANG, three theives with diamond hard skin, EMERALD MAN, RUBY MAN and SAPPHIRE GIRL....he tracks the gang to SHEA STADIUM (Mets vs Cards) the writer seems to confuse what a diamond is and what emeralds, sapphires and rubies are....but I like the inclusion of a BASEBALL DIAMOND haw haw....tee hee....aaahhhhhh Sapphire Girl turns to good at the end and agrees to marry Carbo Man.... his name is based on CARBORUNDUM...an element that is harder than diamonds?... Anyways for a 6 pager from '66 it's interesting! Has anyone read this issue? Does anyone else here collect Madhouse or other Archies? Do these characters make reappearences? IS there a checklist or index with all the MADHOUSE superhero appearences? Frank "carborumdum" D'Urso PS - it's almost like the writer heard teh word carborundum and thought it was funny sounding and wanted to base a story on it....I think the art looks like PAUL COKER.....

I only bring this up as I've recently acquired a Pep #22 and a coverless copy of Jackpot #4. I've redone my opinion of which order Archie first appeared in: #1 - Pep 22 - Cover 12/41, on stands 10/41 #2 - Pep 23 - Cover 01/42, on stands 11/41 #3 - Pep 24 - Cover 02/42, on stands 12/41 #4 - Jackpot #4 - Cover Winter 41, on stands 12/41 simultaneously with Pep 24. #5 - Pep 25 - Cover 03/42, on stands 01/42 #3 and #4 are interchangable. Here's why: 1. Pep #22 has ads for Shield-Wizard #5, Winter 1941. 2. Jackpot 4 has ads for Shield Wizard #6, which is a SPRING 1942. 3. Jackpot 4 has ads for Top Notch #25, which is a MARCH 1942 book. 4. The end of Jackpot #4 features Mrs. Grundy as the principal. Pep #25 introduces Mr. Weatherbee is the new principal. Thoughts?

It sounds plausible to me, though. But don't some "official" sources (like Overstreet) claim Jackpot #4 is Archie's _second_ appearance, as though it came out the same month as Pep #22? Of course, Overstreet didn't sit down and analyze it like you did, and "Winter 41" might sound like it must have appeared the same month as books cover-dated 12/41. I'm also not clear on when the quarterlies actually appeared. I've assumed three quarterlies amounted to one monthly, production-wise, so taken together, Jackpot, Shield-Wizard, and Hangman were in effect a fifth monthly comic book, but was their publication staggered so one appeared per month, or were things more irregular and two could appear in an individual month but none the next? Your timeline also gives a little more insight into the early days of Archie. The official ArchieCo version of Archie's creation makes it sound like Archie was a deliberately planned and promoted venture from the start. I've wondered if it was more improvised and accidental in real life, especially since the nearly identical Wilbur strip premiered in Zip even before Archie appeared in Pep. My question boils down to: Did the MLJ brass expect Archie to be a hit, or was it a case of a minor humor strip nobody expected much from taking off to everyone's surprise? One key datum in my mind was Archie's appearance in Jackpot #4. Jackpot's quarterly dating ("Winter 41") made it difficult to place in sequence. If it appeared on the stands the same month as Pep #22, then that would show MLJ was promoting Archie with advance expectations that the strip was something special and would be popular. But if Jackpot #4 appeared significantly later, that would indicate the process was more a case of on-the-fly improvisation. I'd be curious to know if Jackpot #4 shows signs of obvious last-minute retooling to include Archie. One giveaway would be a coming attractions ad in Jackpot #3 that doesn't mention Archie; another would be house ads in other books for Jackpot #4 that show a different lineup of characters than actually appeared. One more critical factor is the timing. Even if Jackpot #4 appeared two months after Pep #22, is that enough time for reaction to Pep #22 to get back to MLJ and make the editorial crew realize they have a hit on their hands, and revamp Jackpot #4 to give the character even more exposure? Surprisingly, I think it is. I don't recall them off-hand, but I've run across other instances in the MLJ Golden Age books that show a two-month turnaround time for editorial changes. (Well, one example might be the editorial in Blue Ribbon #20 that as much as says between the lines if the "real-true fact" stories they're introducing don't turn the book around, that's it -- and the book is gone after #22.) They seemed to work about that far ahead, as you'll note in instances where strips from a cancelled book turn up in another book to use up the inventory (e.g., leftover Black Hood strips from Top-Notch run in Pep). I don't know how they could get sales information or reader reaction from the field that fast and then act on it, but the evidence seems to be that they did. Those are my thoughts, anyway. (I won't even mention my feelings -- pure Grinch-green-with-envy-colored jealousy that you managed to snag a copy of Pep #22!) --Dwight Decker the_shield_mlj wrote: > Greetings all!

One reason for my feeling this way is because of what you discovered with regards to Archie's appearence in Jackpot actually being his fourth appearence, not has second as often believed. (By the way, I don't put much faith in what Overstreet says. They have been wrong about so much in the past.) My understanding of Jackpot was that it was supposed to be the same type of title as World's Finest and Comics Cavalcade in which MLJ used it to give the stars they hoped would eventually get their own titles that added extra boost (The JSA in All-Star was originally conceived for that purpose as well.). If Archie was meant for stardom right off the bat wouldn't they have put him into the third issue which would have come out around the same time as Pep 22? But this basically only reaffirms my already held belief that Archie was originally created to be just another strip in Pep. If he was created to be the big star he eventually became they would have put him on the cover right from his first appearence in Pep which they didn't. And if I'm not mistaken it was quite some time after Archie first appeared in Pep that they made him the sole cover feature. Does that sound like something a publisher would do if they were so certain he was going to be a big star from the get go?

I don't know, though, if Jackpot was conceived with the idea of spotlighting heroes in the hopes they would become popular enough to get their own books (since none -- Archie excepted -- ever did). The original scheme seems to have been to spotlight the lead feature of each of the four anthology books: Mr. Justice from Blue Ribbon, Black Hood from Top-Notch, Steel Sterling from Zip, and Sgt. Boyle (!!??) from Pep. Yes, Sgt. Boyle seems way out of place (and it's really obvious on the early Jackpot covers showing the four heroes together). By the time Jackpot came out, the obvious lead feature of Pep (the Shield) had his own book (Shield-Wizard), so he probably didn't need the additional exposure, the Hangman hadn't happened yet, and the only other costume heroes appearing in Pep in the Spring of '41 were the Comet and Fireball. Why the MLJ folks chose to give Sgt. Boyle the Jackpot slot, I dunno, unless the Comet was already on the extinction list and Fireball wasn't thought strong enough to carry the load. Later, the scheme of using Jackpot to spotlight the lead features of the four anthology titles breaks down somewhat. Blue Ribbon is cancelled (but Mr. Justice continues in Jackpot in a sort of afterlife for another year or so), Archie and Sgt. Boyle both appear in Jackpot (so Pep is represented by two strips), and some odd humor strips from other books appear in later issues of Jackpot. At the end, Jackpot looks like more of a hodgepodge or orphan feature catchall than anything systematic. --Dwight From sclay1@insight.rr.com Wed Dec 12 12:27:26 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: sclay1@insight.rr.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-8_0_1_2); 12 Dec 2001 20:27:24 -0000 Received: (qmail 92888 invoked from network); 12 Dec 2001 20:27:24 -0000 Received: from unknown (216.115.97.172) by m6.grp.snv.yahoo.com with QMQP; 12 Dec 2001 20:27:24 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO n21.groups.yahoo.com) (216.115.96.71) by mta2.grp.snv.yahoo.com with SMTP; 12 Dec 2001 20:27:24 -0000 Received: from [216.115.96.35] by n21.groups.yahoo.com with NNFMP; 12 Dec 2001 20:20:56 -0000 Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2001 20:27:18 -0000 To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: Digest Number 136 Message-ID: <9v8ej6+et9b@eGroups.com> In-Reply-To: <108.a12cf06.294911d7@aol.com> User-Agent: eGroups-EW/0.82 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Length: 3494 X-Mailer: Yahoo Groups Message Poster From: "the_shield_mlj" X-Originating-IP: 208.158.49.88 X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=86793695 X-Yahoo-Profile: the_shield_mlj I agree. It seemed also that the artwork and stories for the latter Jackpot(s) were sub-standard to say the least. I just read #9, and sans the Mr. Justice story, it's probably the worst MLJ comic I've ever read. I had to force myself to read it. A fellow MLJ collector and I sometimes joke around that "Jackpot" became the dumping grounds for unused completed stories. I personally only have read #4 and #9, and the difference is night and day. Jackpot 4 had Irv Novick doing the Steel Sterling story, Montana did Archie, and Sam Cooper did Mr. Justice. However, in #9, Sahle (who drew, with the exception of maybe Pep #41 and Hangman #6, some of the worst panels ever to come out of MLJ) did the cover of Jackpot #9 and the stories and artwork, although done by the MLJ "heavy hitters" seemed like they were rushed/half completed. It's nice to hear how you guys know quite a bit if not more than myself about these titles. Thanks to all who have replied. My final thoughts are Jackpot #4 was the 3rd appearance. I re-read Pep 23 from my own website and there is a box in the last panel announcing Archie being in Jackpot #4.

As much as I love the slick mags like TJKC and CBA and CBM, there's alot to be said for the type of zine where its clear that an individual with limited resources set about to produce as fun a package as they could, being steered chiefly by their love of the medium. Luckily for all of us, technology has evolved well beyond the limitations of mim- eograph, and because of that, Gordon is able to present the material he's gathered in a format that would've had the early zine pioneers drooling with envy. MIDNITE MASQUERADER PRESENTS: ALL TIMELY MYSTERY COMICS Volume #2 is the 90 page (!) conclu- sion of an examination of TIMELY COMICS. Like all of Gordon's mags, it is chockful of illustrations (many full-page and several in that wonderful 11 x 17 fold-out format of his that I enjoy so well), as well as informative text. This issue kicks off with a scintillating, illuminating, extremely erudite and mercifully short introduction by Yours Truly (certainly worth the price of admission in itself!). After my bilious rambling the ish gets down to business, with Mike Barson (of MADNESS fame, I wonder?) tracing the horror content of the first ten CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS in his highly entertaining article, "Cap Meets the Monsters." I thoroughly enjoyed Mike's tongue-in-cheek excoriation of TIMELY's promise for monsters that never really quite appear within the pages (almost to a one the monsters turn out to be shams!). Comic Historian Ron Goulart then gives us a rundown of TIMELY's superhero output with, "The Timely Titles." Beginning at the beginning with MARVEL COMICS, he takes us on a tour through DARING and MYSTIC and YOUNG ALLIES, all the way to the end of the '40s when the superhero craze waned and the company switched over to mainly humor- ous titles. This article is brimming with covers and interior page artwork from the relevant titles. Next up is a fascinating profile of ol' Igneous Head, THE HUMAN TORCH! Once again lavishly illustrated, this article provides a nice overview of the living fireball and his creators. "A TIMELY Who's Who" spotlights some of the lesser known TIMELY workhorses in quick paragraph form, with, of course, accompanying illustrations. If you're not familiar with the names Edd Ashe, Mike Roy, or George Mandel, this article will bring you up to snuff. There's a short profile of that exotically mustachioed man-amongst- men, THE ANGEL, followed by "Funnies, Inc." an article by Ron Goulart, looking at the comic "shop" that helped put TIMELY on the map. The issue ends, appropriately enough, with R. J. Vitore's lengthy ode to Simon and Kirby, two of the undeniable dynamos of the industry.

That being the case, I'd like to use this forum to wish all of my close friends, buddies, ac- quaintances and lurkers on the various lists a Wondrous Holidays. I'm not religious, nor am I patriotic, but it would take a person more cynical than I, I'd think, to offhandedly dismiss the tenor of these times without some reflection on the fragility of life and the value of friendship. Over the past few years we've all come to share part of ourselves, both knowingly and unwittingly, in the discussion of the art form we all love. We've endured some heated battles with one another and enjoyed the thrill of shared experiences. Even though we're just words on a screen to each other, we're far more than that. We've lost some friends over the past years, watched as one library after another burned down right in front of us, never to be replaced. We'll honor the memory of those we knew in these settings by including them in our discussions from time to time, a casually slipped "Ol' Rich would've loved to've seen that, " or a "Bruce is rolling over in his grave right now!" I can think of no better honor, for to be remembered is to have been loved. Before I end up getting too mushy, let me just say that I had no idea when I decided to give the Kirby List a shot way back in 1995 or so that I would be entering into a world I would come to enjoy so much. You're all good people (even if a few of you - and you know who you are - are nuttier than a fruitcake) and I'm looking forward to spending much of 2002 with y'all. I wish you and your loved ones a warm and loving holiday season. -- Lyle Tucker Visit my ART SITE: it's virtually painless and it's FREE! http://home.earthlink.net/~rivards/tucker.htm From LyleTucker@zianet.com Wed Dec 19 16:45:22 2001 Return-Path: X-Sender: lyletucker@zianet.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-8_0_1_3); 20 Dec 2001 00:45:20 -0000 Received: (qmail 79068 invoked from network); 20 Dec 2001 00:45:20 -0000 Received: from unknown (216.115.97.172) by m11.grp.snv.yahoo.com with QMQP; 20 Dec 2001 00:45:20 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO zianet.com) (216.234.192.37) by mta2.grp.snv.yahoo.com with SMTP; 20 Dec 2001 00:45:18 -0000 Received: (qmail 29165 invoked by alias); 20 Dec 2001 00:45:58 -0000 Delivered-To: alias-outgoing-mightycomics@yahoogroups.com@outgoing Received: (qmail 29107 invoked by uid 0); 20 Dec 2001 00:45:57 -0000 Received: from roswell0056.zianet.com (HELO zianet.com) (207.66.44.56) by zianet.com with SMTP; 20 Dec 2001 00:45:57 -0000 Message-ID: <3C2134CD.2060309@zianet.com> Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 17:46:05 -0700 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010726 Netscape6/6.1 X-Accept-Language: en-us MIME-Version: 1.0 To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Subject: DR.

Archie animated series through the years have included: THE ARCHIE SHOW ARCHIE'S FUNHOUSE ARCHIE'S TV FUNNIES EVERYTHING'S ARCHIE U.S. OF ARCHIE ARCHIE'S BANG-SHANG-LALAPALOOZA SHOW THE NEW ARCHIES ARCHIE'S WEIRD MYSTERIES JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS IN OUTER SPACE SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH THE SABRINA/GROOVY GHOULIES HOUR SABRINA, SUPERWITCH SABRINA (the new, pre-teen version) A new JOSIE animated series is in development.

D'Urso Dan DeCarlo designed Sabrina, from a script by George Gladir. Most comic companies would call DeCarlo Sabrina's co-creator, but in the world of Archie, Gladir is the creator and DeCarlo is the designer. -- Shad Z. ^Q^ (ShadZ@rocketmail.com,ShadZ@email.com,Jackalope7@go.com) http://shadz.homestead.com/files/ HONK TO SEE PUPPIES Sign along US 287, Loveland CO _______________________________________________ 1 cent a minute calls anywhere in the U.S.! http://www.getpennytalk.com/cgi-bin/adforward.cgi?p_key=RG9853KJ&url=http://www.getpennytalk.com From fdurso@mediaone.net Mon Jan 28 20:36:05 2002 Return-Path: X-Sender: fdurso@mediaone.net X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-8_0_1_3); 29 Jan 2002 04:36:01 -0000 Received: (qmail 63527 invoked from network); 29 Jan 2002 04:36:01 -0000 Received: from unknown (216.115.97.172) by m5.grp.snv.yahoo.com with QMQP; 29 Jan 2002 04:36:01 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO chmls06.mediaone.net) (24.147.1.144) by mta2.grp.snv.yahoo.com with SMTP; 29 Jan 2002 04:36:01 -0000 Received: from ftpiano (h0050da7b91f8.ne.mediaone.net [24.91.44.49]) by chmls06.mediaone.net (8.11.1/8.11.1) with SMTP id g0T4b5r13709 for ; Mon, 28 Jan 2002 23:37:05 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <000501c1a87f$33ed7ec0$312c5b18@ne.mediaone.net> To: References: <1011738453.159.37126.m12@yahoogroups.com> Subject: ARCHIES MADHOUSE #51 and 65 Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2002 23:41:19 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 From: "Frank D'Urso" Reply-To: "Frank D'Urso" X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=35388315 X-Yahoo-Profile: thunderbirdv Ya'll continuing reviews of recent mighty related comics....

For instance, I'm not exactly sure which issues of madhouse i don't have, but i'd buy all yours and then eventually when i sort mine i'd find out if i have any doubles i'll sell or trade them on this list and then ebay...... I bought madhouse comics because there were occasional "heroes" involved in the gags of the late 70's....and enjoyed the occasional chuckle that the magazine would illicit.....it was the only archie I collected, I had lucked into an issue or two of MIGHTY CRUSADERS and even though i hated the reinman art (who doe she think he is Jack Kirby???) I liked the flimsy stories Jerry Seigal would dream up....hey this guy invented superman! I *think* I've collected all MIGHTY CRUSADERS issues, and have been zipping up the Red Circle and !mpact line as well.... I also have been hunting down those ARCHIE GIANT SERIES that deal with Superheroes....and recently I've added ARCHIE'S WEIRD MYSTERIES to my subscription. Anyways....

CGC contacted me today, the told me they agree with my research (which included store stamp dates on Gerber books) and also that they contacted Bob Overstreet. Well, Bob also agrees, and the Overstreet Price guide will be changed! It may not make the 2002 Edition, but will definitely be in the following years' edition.

Your discovery just reinforces that MLJ was always leading the way to new trends. First, they developed the first patriotic superhero. Then, they realized we were going to eventually go to war with Germany anyway, so why not just make them villains? With so much rich history, it's a shame that Archie just ignores their heroes and shows little interest in reprinting their golden age material.

Waiting for what you ask ? I am waiting for judgement . It is such a simple word but it weighs so unbearably much . My name is Tracy Dickerson and while I wait for _Him_ I will tell you a little bit about myself . I am ashamed to admit that I was the person that I was back then . I can only say in my defense that after my parents emotionally abandoned their trophy token child that it would be unrealistic to expect that I would not develop social difficulties of one fashion or an-other . But that is an explanation not an excuse . Then I met _Her_ . I did not appreciate her at first ; to be truthful I was an abhorrent , vile luddite who was casually cruel . I did not know it at the time but when that little shy foreign girl became my room-mate it would prove to be the single best thing that ever happened to me . Maria Conception de Guzman Oh so very much an `Angel Unawares' She talked strange . She knew more languages then I could spell . She could memorize the text-books at a glance and understand complex equations faster than I could read them and run them through her head as easily as a breeze caressed wind-chimes . I hated her . I hated her with-out cause , justification , or reason . I pulled all manner of cruel pranks on her and semi- discreetly tormented her every opportunity that I had . And through it all she remained as sweet and loving as a new-born kitten . So I thought about other abuses that I could visit on her but before I could implement them ... I learned that she was not only an angel in grace and manner but also in power . She was the Jaguar . She could out-track the Wolverine and out-fight the Shield ... heck she could probably punch her way through Adamantium if she had to! In raw strength she had few equals (most of them family) and only three who might be her superiors . I once saw her strike Thor and send him to the ground in a single blow ! But that was later ... When I first learned of her secret I plotted how to use the information to my advantage even if ..._especially_ if it met that it would be to her detriment . Then _He_ happened . And I was found wanting . I was no longer the bitch-queen who demanded that the world kiss my ass . Instead I became no-thing more than a scared little child about to be punished ...severely. But it never happened ... The Queen's whipping-girl took the punishment for her . Many people have looked into the face of their own mortality only to come away changed . That day I saw not only my own mortality but also my Fate . It was days before I stopped shaking . It was weeks before the nightmares were limited to only one a night . Afterwards I looked into my soul and I did not like what I saw . Any-one who has such an experience and is not changed is un-human and should be treated with care as the unnatural thing that it is . When Maria faced her own time of crisis I am proud to say that I rose to support her . For more than nine years now I have followed her and continued to bolster her ... ... from discovery of her family's past and the secret of her power to the assassins we finally traced back to the Moonlighter I have thrown what comparatively little weight I have behind her causes and been what she needed me to be . Now ... ...now I think that I am ready . She suspected no-thing . I have completely gained her trust . She had no reason TO suspect any-thing . And so now here I stand . I am waiting for the judge to pass sentence on me . ... I am growing colder but I ignore the bitter frost creeping through my limbs . ... Finally _He_ arrives . The Judge . A robe not of black satin but of white . Did you know that to the people of Japan , oh excuse me please , Nihon , black is not considered the colour of death . White is . White , the colour of bleached bone . _He_ is just as I remember him . _He_ stands ; we face each other . The moment drags on for fleeting interminable ages . The Doomster . That is what they call him . But to me he is simply ...the Judge. Finally he makes his move ... ...but it is not to me rather he turns to the woods and returns to his domain . The Judgement has been passed . The Judge found in my favour . I smiled when I lied to Maria yesterday to keep her from suspecting [ of course it helped the she was distracted ; you lucky girl , I hope I find some-one who can distract me like that ] but now for the first time in days , since before I realized that I had to do this I smile a real smile . I think about the time we met `Red' Highlaw and her friends and how they said there was a difference between Destiny and Fate . Even though they both mean the future the difference is in the context ; Fate is the inevitable that holds you prisoner ; Destiny is when you take hold and even if you can not control it you steer it as best you can . Now I must choose what to do next . Maria has so many others to hold her up now even as she holds them up . She does not need me any-more , if she ever did . The Web has all ready trained me and even the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. afford me some respect ... The pundits are already calling this the Year of Damnation because of all the Disasters , the Kanto Quake , the `Second Impact' , the Great Gotham Temblor et cetera and the public does not even know about the Gallifrey/San Francisco incident , the Kamui incident , or the confrontation with the Wisdom Alliance ... ...hmm... You know , as I remember , the Web was looking for an agent to liaison with the `Clan of the Cave-Bat' in No-Man's-Land ... Thank you Maria ... ...you are the best friend that I ever had ... ... but now I think I am ready to stand on my own ... ...I will make you proud I promise . *** *** *** *** *** *** Author's after-word : When the Impact titles came out my favourite was with-out a doubt the Jaguar . The Shield (Legend of, ) and the Web were next . Since I could not get the Fly or the Comet regularly I was not as enthralled with them as I was with the other three . Recently I came across Impact Fanfic , Mighty Fanfic , and the Mighty Crusaders message-board all in one day and it brought back memories and a smile . I pulled out my Impact lines and read them all in a single night . I had not even put the last one down when I realized that the Doomster saga needed a follow-up; not a sequel, a follow-up . With-in thirty seconds this story gestated and began to go into labour . Unfortunately the dreaded `R.L.' Monster [ is it related to the Doomster? Just a thought] harassed me and it was not until the next night that I sat down to type this out . Well do you think that it is worth it? Comments can be sent to cyberforcejaguar@yahoo.com or twillinjer_mils@yahoo.com P.S. I : by the by in case any of you are wondering about some of the references in this story it takes place in my own post-Crisis universe ; in this world seven worlds melded into one and the history is very different from that of the standard Post- Crisis/Earth-Sigma . If any of you want details or want me to write more stories let me know . P.S. II: for the record I never read the Crucible series because I never found it ; if any of you are getting rid of your copies of it or any Impact/MLJ/Red Circle titles please send them to me . P.S. III : Contest/Challenge; I am working on an-other fanfic called `The Mystery of Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Wegthor' and any- one who can solve the mystery just from the title alone will receive a special mention in the after-word ; contest ends when I send the first chapter to the pre-readers .

I'm going to be moving to Huntsville, AL this summer (around August), and while I've been able to find the comic shops in the area from my initial trip down there, I was wondering if anyone on these lists has any opinions on which of them is the best, as well as their reasons for why that store's the best. I'd also like to know about any comics shows or conventions in the area that happen regularlly... I've been trying to find out via the net what there is, but haven't had any luck! Of course, if there are people from these lists who are living in the area, it'll be great to know there are some people I "know" already there! Anyone who has info or opinons on these, if you could email me off-list, I'd appreciate it!

It's very cool, with lots of information, but unfortunately, your "Artwork" section is under construction, and the few other images elsewhere are of the main guys I already have images of. I've been to every link on your page and none of them contain (that I can find) images from the Red Circle era of the Crusaders. I've done Google searches and all I ever find is the golden age/silver age stuff, and none of the more modern stuff. While doing a search for images of Mister Justice, I stumbled across that Marvel Comics, in their "Generations: Lost" book, used the name Mister Justice for one of their characters. Is this copyright infringement or did they licence the name, or is it one of those Captain Marvel type situations? Anyone know?

Sabrina #30, featuring the Jaguar is out in stores now, I have confirmation of that, but I've never seen it. On a kinda bitter note..... I've tried many, many, many times in the past four months to get Jim Owsley (Christopher Priest--editor of the Impact line) and Mike Silberkleit (head honcho of ArchieCo) to do interviews, and both said they would, but I sent the questions, and neither of them have written back even after MANY attempts by myself to get them to do so. With a second child now (by the way, my wife had a baby girl on Valentine's day), I've got less time, and less money than I did, and I've not bought a comic book in over 8 months (a record for me). MightyMLJ.com is dead. I've not got the time or energy to keep it updated, and with nothing really happening in the world of the Crusaders, there's little to update anyway. I was psyched to get the interviews (which again, they both said they'd love to do--I still have the emails saying that), and then nothing, it's a total letdown. So, if anyone out there has an interest, I'd be happy to see someone else carry on the work I started. Just let me know, and I'll give you all the pertanent details on how to access the site, and upload stuff and such. I'll even provide the contact information for the people I know about, if you so desire. Sorry this is sucha downer email. Hope things pick up here soon.

Journey back to the Golden Age of Comics-- a period that defined and shaped the course of comic books for years to come! It was a time of historical firsts... the first indestructible hero... the first female hero... the first sidekick... the first organized team of heroes. Between 1938 and 1942 alone, dozens of super-powered heroes and masked vigilantes debuted, many of whom are still being published today. Among these pioneering heroes was the first ever super-patriot-- a hero with great power, strength and courage who donned the colors of the American flag, lived for democracy and protected the world from the foes of freedom. No, it's not who you think... it's The Shield! Leaping from the pages of PEP COMICS #1 in January, 1940, The Shield bested his better-known counterpart by over a year. Copies of The Shield's early adventures routinely command high prices among collectors, but now you can relive the thrilling adventures of this historic character in a special edition that reprints his first eight stories from PEP and SHIELD-WIZARD COMICS, including his first appearance and origin! By popular demand, Archie Comics is proud to present THE SHIELD: AMERICA'S 1st PATRIOTIC COMIC BOOK HERO! In this thrilling edition, you'll meet Joe Higgins, a G-Man sworn to avenge and uphold his father's memory by crushing the evil forces that threaten democracy! * Behold J. Edgar Hoover commissioning The Shield to service! * Learn the secret behind the S.H.I.E.L.D formula! * Witness the transformation of Joe Higgins into a super-powered hero! * Thrill to the excitement as The Shield vanquishes mankind's enemies! Painstakingly restored and faithfully colored, this action-packed edition reprints eight classic stories and the covers of the comics they originally appeared in, along with a foreword by Golden Age comics' historian, Robert M. Overstreet and a cover by Archie fan-favorite, Rex Lindsey. THE SHIELD: AMERICA'S 1st PATRIOTIC COMIC BOOK HERO, 96-page, full color paperback format, $12.95.

When they killed off Lance Strong (although he made appearances later in Mighty Crusaders--go figure), Sterling took over the entire book. Lance Strong was mentioned a few times, and even had a back-up flashback type story in a later issue, possibly as a prelude to bringing him back, but it never happened.

I have an old-time comics fan friend in South Africa who bought imported MLJs as a boy and remembers them fondly to this day, and given the problems on his end of getting specialty books from the US, I plan to buy and send him a copy of the Shield book. By the way...is this one of these deals where everything depends on how many pre-orders the comic shoppes put in, and if there aren't enough orders, the project is deep-sixed? If that's the case, we might want to make our wants known to our friendly neighborhood shoppe beforehand, rather than just wait for a copy to show up on the new arrivals rack some week. --Dwight Decker From Benny7dude@aol.com Fri Apr 05 13:56:16 2002 Return-Path: X-Sender: Benny7dude@aol.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-8_0_3_1); 5 Apr 2002 21:56:15 -0000 Received: (qmail 53482 invoked from network); 5 Apr 2002 21:56:11 -0000 Received: from unknown (66.218.66.218) by m8.grp.scd.yahoo.com with QMQP; 5 Apr 2002 21:56:11 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-r06.mx.aol.com) (152.163.225.102) by mta3.grp.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 5 Apr 2002 21:56:11 -0000 Received: from Benny7dude@aol.com by imo-r06.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v32.5.) id r.133.c3b380b (4571) for ; Fri, 5 Apr 2002 16:56:04 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <133.c3b380b.29df7774@aol.com> Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2002 16:56:04 EST Subject: Re: [mightycomics] Re: Shield trade paperback set for summer release!

Given the historical significance, I will be getting review copies to all the major publications, from Time Magazine to the New York Times. Pricing is definitely a plus... Archie always has to find a middle ground so that the younger fans can afford the books, too.

As for the other books, my gut feeling is that I should keep that under my hat for now because a.) if the Shield book doesn't perform well enough there may not be other books and I don't want to get anyone's hopes up and disappoint them by talking about "possible" projects and b.) even though I have concepts for other Crusaders-related TPB's, there's no guarantee that the owners of Archie will agree with my concepts (although when it comes to their MLJ/Mighty Comics/Red Circle heroes, they know I am knowledgeable).

X-Originating-IP: 199.117.218.232 X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=80890958 X-Yahoo-Profile: shadz.rm *The current Sabrina comic book is based on the Sabrina cartoon from several years ago (still in daily reruns in the "Disney's 1 too" cartoon block). Sabrina is 12, just starting to learn to use her powers. Her (witch) father and (mortal) mother are divorced, and her mother is a constantly-traveling archeologist, so Sabrina lives with her aunts Hilda and Zelda (from her father's side), and learns how to handle her magic from them. (It has not been explained why she doesn't live with her father.) But the 400+-years-old Hilda & Zelda have been transformed into teenages for unspecified magical infractions, so the whole group lives with Sabrina's mother's uncle Quigly. The other cast member you need to know about is Salem Saberhagen, a powerful witch who tried to conquor the world, and is sentenced to live as a powerless (but talkitive) black cat. * Page 2: Llandra has appeared several times before. She was created in the comic, she is not from the TV show. I personally think the character is a bad idea. Mixing the fantasy witches that usually appear in this strip with a character based on actual religous beliefs of Indians in the Amazon seems to belittle the real religion. *Page 5 -- from what little I know of the various magical beliefs of Latin America, the brujos here seem to be wearing authentic costumes . . . *Sabrina's Pajama Party (between parts 1 & 2) -- can I just say that I like the art of Holly Golightly much more than Dave Manak, and I wish she was drawing the story? *Page 8 -- I understand why they decided to keep the Mighty Heroes universe and the Sabrina, the Animated Series universe seperate, but I think the decision hurts the story. The whole plot is driven by the fact that The Rememberer seems to be the very poweful Sapa Inca, but really he is just a sorcerer with one power -- mind control. So his whole scheme is about using his one power to make it seem like he has many powers. But then they give him a second power to make Jaguar's appearance work -- dimensional travel. But unlike the clever ways The Rememberer uses his mind control, he only uses his dimensional travel power once to bring Jaguar to his world, and doesn't make it a big part of his plan. *Page 10 -- yes, Salem just used magic. He's been doing that lately in the comic book, with no explanation *Page 12 -- Salem recognises Jaguar from comic books. How does Llandra (and the other brujos earlier) recognise him? I assume that Sabrina's universe has it's own Jaguar Belt, and even though it hasn't been rediscovered yet, the South American magic users have heard of it and know what its user can do. *Page 22 -- despite the fact that he is from a silly universe, I can see The Rememberer becoming a serious Jaguar foe (if the Jaguar ever gets his own comic book). You start with The Rememberer fleeing to the Mighty Heroes universe to escape his punishment, and go from there . . . -- Shad Z. ^Q^ (ShadZ@rocketmail.com,ShadZ@email.com,Jackalope7@go.com) http://shadz.homestead.com/files/ HONK TO SEE PUPPIES Sign along US 287, Loveland CO _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Email.com http://www.email.com/?sr=signup From positronic@aol.com Tue Apr 09 22:44:48 2002 Return-Path: X-Sender: Positronic@aol.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-8_0_3_1); 10 Apr 2002 05:44:48 -0000 Received: (qmail 73593 invoked from network); 10 Apr 2002 05:44:47 -0000 Received: from unknown (66.218.66.218) by m11.grp.scd.yahoo.com with QMQP; 10 Apr 2002 05:44:47 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-r04.mx.aol.com) (152.163.225.100) by mta3.grp.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 10 Apr 2002 05:44:47 -0000 Received: from Positronic@aol.com by imo-r04.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v32.5.) id r.aa.9ac8a34 (3861) for ; Wed, 10 Apr 2002 01:44:41 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 01:44:40 EDT Subject: Re: [mightycomics] Thoughts about Sabrina # 30, with the Jaguar guest appeare...

The Web was the last "regular" title of the first wave (Black Hood, Crusaders, and Crucible followed), but was supposed to be the title that was the nexus for the entire line. Unfortunately, those plans never came to fruition. Anyway, The Web was 2 or 3 different guys who showed up in different costumes (as told in Web #1) back in the 60's, including one that was very similar to the actual MLJ Web's costume. Anyway, it was an effort to tell that heroes didn't just appear "all of a sudden", but that there had been heroes before, they just disappeared. To cross over the stories a bit, The American Crusaders disbanded because of something that FireFly did to let them down (See LOTS #7, and my Grant Miehm interview), and hadn't been seen since. The Original Shield appeared throughout the Shield book, but anyway... The main purpose of the Web project was to monitor the activities of the super-hero population. When the American Crusaders disappeared, so did the need for the Web's existance. The Impact comics line was supposed to be completely seperate and apart from the previous incarnations. It was as if the previous versions never happened. So, any "explaining" they did really has nothing to do with the actual previously printed adventures of the World's Mightiest heroes. It was just their own little backstory. Don't know if this helped or hindered your understanding, but it's what I came up with off the top of my head from my reading. Bradley S.

Comics WEB wasn't actually one guy, it was a covert government agency (similar to S.H.I.E.L.D.), some of whose operatives wore exoskeletal armor (like Marvel's Guardsmen at The Vault). Actually, with their mandate to keep tabs on superheroes, THE WEB sort of prefigured the DCU's D.E.O. (Department of Extranormal Operations). Except that the public didn't know of the Web's existence -- all they knew was that there was a hero who wore the armor that they called The Web (very few people seemed to notice that there were different guys - and even women - in the suit). At least, that was the premise of the book as it started out, but it seemed to morph somewhat from its original intention by the end of the run, as I recall.

I thought that the Filmation cartoons were now owned by mid-sized media corp Hallmark . . . but if so, they aren't showing any on The Hallmark Channel (http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/tv/shows/index.asp) . . . they are showing ALF, which I didn't know . . .

 <<< I don't suppose ArchieCo has any interest in reprinting the old Sabrina comics either. >>>

Where would you get that idea?  They seem to reprint one or two every month, in their digest comics.  It is surprising they haven't tried a nice paperback reprint to tie into the TV show(s) . . .

I had heard that rights to old Filmation stuff reverted to the original owners (if a licensed property, like Superman/Batman/Aquaman reverted to Warner Bros., Star Trek reverted to Paramount, Flash Gordon reverted to Hearst Entertainment), Depends on which rights we are talking about. ArchieCo has obviously reclaimed the rights to make new Archie and Sabrina cartoons (Filmation probably only had those on a very temporary basis, just while the original series were still being made). But who owns other rights (like the rights to show the cartoons on TV, and the rights to sell the cartoons on video) depends on what kind of deal Archie and Filmation made in the 1960's. Usually the deals are written so the rights belong to the shows' producer (Filmation) for X years, then revert to the properties' owner (ArchieCo). X varies, depending on how negotations went, and there doesn't have to be an X, the producer could hold the rights forever. In the case of the DC Comics short cartoons made by Filmation in the 60's, we know the TV rights have reverted back to DC, because DC/TimeWarner/AOL have been doing things with the cartoons lately. But I don't think TV and Video rights to the Archie and Sabrina cartoons have reverted to ArchieCo yet (if they ever will). It's just a gut feeling -- I think ArchieCo would be exploiting those rights (releasing videos, etc.) if they had them! > and the Filmation original series (like Web Woman, Freedom Force, Isis) were owned by Hallmark - the *greeting card company*, not Hallmark Entertainment, producers of epic TV miniseries (and owners of the Hallmark Channel) -- unless they are in fact one and the same coporate entity (are they?); They are. See the link to the Hallmark Channel that I provided several messages ago -- they use the exact same logo as Hallmark cards. > therefore, I would assume that ArchieCo controls the TV rights to all Filmation animation based on their characters (which is definitely NOT the case in regard to the Hanna-Barbera JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS and JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS IN OUTER SPACE).

Now, while I don't know for *sure* the specific disposition of such Filmation series as Lone Ranger, Tarzan, Zorro and the Archie characters, there's no reason to think they haven't reverted to their original owners as well. Obviously Warner, Paramount and Hearst are all multimedia giants, and can easily find opportunities to exploit their properties -- smaller companies like Lone Ranger Incorporated, ERB Incorporated, and ArchieCo have to depend on their abilities to make deals with other media companies to exploit those properties, since they have no in-house corporate video or cable TV distribution arms. Hallmark's got the *ability* to easily do something with the original Filmation series like Isis, the problem there is that the characters are pretty obscure, so there wouldn't be as much recognition or interest from the general public. If they did indeed still control the Archie-character series, it seems to me that *they* would be more likely to be doing something with it (24-hour cable stations requiring a vast amount of fodder) than if the rights had indeed reverted to ArchieCo. Now, Filmation may have made different deals with different licensors, but I think it's more likely that they offered a standard contract (including period of use and rights reversion). Or, not knowing what the circumstances of Filmation's going out of business were, there may have been bankruptcy proceedings in which any rights Filmation formerly held were returned to the original licensors. On the other hand, we again *know* that Hanna-Barbera hung on to the film rights to their cartoons (seemingly in perpetuity). A liberal rights-reversion time-frame policy may help explain why a smaller, struggling animation company like Filmation (at least when they began in the '60s) could compete with larger animation houses like H-B, and walk away with the cream of the licensed properties.

He becomes Reb Rube by saying the magic catchphrase: "HEY RUBE!"

I added the press releases and such that Paul's given to us in the BRAND-NEW news section! Also, I added that section...hehe. I added a link to the links section, and reorganized it. I deleted the Impact and Impactfanfic groups from Yahoo, by the way. No one ever used them, so no one will miss them. I've wrote back to some of the promised interviewees, and am awaiting responses now. So, feel free to visit the MightyMLJ.com site and see something new for the first time in quite a while (including the cover for the Shield trade paperback!) in the news section and other places!

Since then, I've amassed a near-complete run of the Red Circle/Archie Adventure period and managed a complete run of !mpact's the Comet, the Fly, the Crusaders and Legend of the Shield. I've recently been going back and trying to get most of the 60s-era books, as well. I know that most of the folks on the list are fans of the character's older incarnations, but are there any folks on-list who first encountered these characters in their Red Circle days?

Well, I sort of did... lemme 'splain. I'd first heard of the MLJ characters in one publication or another about comics. I think my first exposure reading them were a few issues of FLY-MAN I found at a garage sale, and later on, a copy of HIGH CAMP SUPER-HEROES I found in a used bookstore. About the same time, I'd also picked up a bunch of issues of the Rocket's Blast ComicCollector (RBCC), one of the legendary comics fanzines. Someone had a column that basically just covered the MLJ characters. I'd occasionally find one or two back issues of the characters, but it was really when the Red Circle line came out I got the full scope of the characters. I've long been a sucker for revivals of old superheroes anyway, so I was buying them as they came out. I even bought all the !MPACT versions that DC put out! But when it comes down to it, there's nothing quite like the originals... even the goofy 1960s stuff! I'm hoping this SHIELD trade paperback sells well enough Archie will produce further volumes, not only of the SHIELD, but of all the other characters, too! And even more hoping that perhaps, some day, we'll find out a new revival is going to happen, with great talent committed to producing great comics!

I'd hit the site just yesterday to see if they had any promotion for the SHIELD TPB, but there was nothing there for any of the Crusaders. Perhaps they're planning on having a sister site for the Crusaders? Who knows?

I think that my first Red Circle issues were Shield/Steel Sterling #2, Mighty Crusaders #3, Black Hood #2, and Fly #3. I'd seen an ad for them while flipping though the Overstreet Price Guide at a bookstore, and when I saw Steranko's name listed among the line's contributors, I was like, "Wow! New work by Steranko??" I'd been a fan of his 1968 Captain America issues, and I had assumed that if he wasn't doing art for Marvel anymore then he wouldn't be doing it for any other company. (Because Marvel is the best comics company in the world, right...?) That's how I thought back then when I was a 12 year old who primarily read Marvel but who was gradually getting disillusioned with Marvel and wanting to try something different for a change. So, I started picking up Red Circle and I liked 'em. I remember a neighbor-friend saying that the Crusaders were just a rip-off of The Avengers, and The Shield was obviously a rip-off of Captain America, and so on, but I decided to keep reading Red Circle anyway. I admit that I bought Black Hood #2 for somewhat greedy reasons. I'd seen in the Overstreet Guide that comics with the name "Alex Toth" in them tended to be worth something, and so when I saw that he had work in Black Hood #2, I bought it thinking that it would probably go up in value. (This is perhaps the same mentality behind some of the kids who were buying Neal Adams' Continuity comics in the 1980s.) But I soon discovered that Toth's art was wonderful and didn't care whether the comic went up in value or not. 1984 is probably my favorite year in comics-buying, since I was buying new Archie Adventure comics, as well as buying some of the regular Archie humor comics, and also buying a lot of Charlton's comics (not realizing that they'd soon go out of business), as well as selective DC (New Teen Titans, All Star Squadron, G. I. Combat, Superman #400) and Marvel (Doctor Strange) titles. Too bad a lot of those comics (especially the Archie Adventure ones) didn't last too much longer after 1984.

When the website first launched, it had a very basic design based on the properties Archie owns. Kids could click on an icon of a character and be taken to pages about those specific characters. About a year, year and a half ago, the decision was made to change the format. They made it more of a "global village" where kids had to navigate maps of Riverdale and whatnot. I think the original plan was to make it so that The Mighty Crusaders were accessible through "the comic shop" on the town's map, but to my knowlege nothing ever came of it-- at least nothing I was involved in.

When the website first launched, it had a very basic design based on the properties Archie owns.  Kids could click on an icon of a character and be taken to pages about those specific characters.

About a year, year and a half ago, the decision was made to change the format.  They made it more of a "global village" where kids had to navigate maps of Riverdale and whatnot.  I think the original plan was to make it so that The Mighty Crusaders were accessible through "the comic shop" on the town's map, but to my knowlege nothing ever came of it-- at least nothing I was involved in.

This thread has made me realize that it may be time to rectify that, whether it be through adding the Crusaders back to the Archie site or giving them their own site.   I will look into it and see what happens... --part1_106.1544375d.2a6a9ceb_boundary-- From cobb78@hotmail.com Sat Jul 20 08:19:08 2002 Return-Path: X-Sender: cobb78@hotmail.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-8_0_7_4); 20 Jul 2002 15:19:05 -0000 Received: (qmail 14408 invoked from network); 20 Jul 2002 15:19:05 -0000 Received: from unknown (66.218.66.217) by m9.grp.scd.yahoo.com with QMQP; 20 Jul 2002 15:19:05 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO hotmail.com) (216.33.149.112) by mta2.grp.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 20 Jul 2002 15:19:07 -0000 Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Sat, 20 Jul 2002 08:19:07 -0700 Received: from 63.16.131.97 by lw4fd.law4.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Sat, 20 Jul 2002 15:19:07 GMT To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Bcc: Subject: Re: [mightycomics] official Archie Site -- no Crusaders?

I think right now they have a mirror of ArchieComics.com there, though.

Yeah, I knew they still existed, because my mother gets every mail-order catalog in existence (or seemingly so, anyway).  Thing is, now they publish a whole array of different catalogs -- THE LIGHTER SIDE CO., THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW EXISTED, BETTY'S ATTIC, COOL GEAR, etc.  Each catalog has a slightly different theme, humor/novelty, nostalgia/"collectibles", techno gizmos, etc.  Slick 8" x 10" color catalogs, profusely filled with photos.  But it's just not the same as the old-time Johnson Smith Novelty Co. catalogs (8.5" x 5.5", on cheap yellow "phone book" type paper, each page divided up into a couple of dozen small boxes with black-and-white illustrations and hilarious descriptions).  Cheezy "practical joke" things like Itching Powder, Snapper Gum, Black-Eye Viewing Glass, Joy Buzzers, etc.  The actual products, when they came in the mail, were more often than not a disappointment compared to what the catalog described (probably still are).

The Golden Age panel had a couple of MLJ veterans on it. One was Irv Novick, who said little. The other was writer William Woolfolk, and he told a funny story about MLJ editor Harry Shorten. It occurred to me that somebody ought to grab Woolfolk for an interview about MLJ since he is still with us and seems to remember what things were like. Somebody here was doing interviews with every MLJ vet he could track down -- did he get to Woolfolk? Anyway, Woolfolk's story was that Shorten was "illiterate." Shorten asked Woolfolk to write a short text feature for one of the books on that blind composer, Beethoven. "Er..." said Woolfolk, "I thought he was deaf?" "What?" said Shorten. "Was the poor bastard deaf, too?" Actually, I kinda think the story sells Shorten a little, er, short. My impression is that he was the guiding genius behind the scenes who made MLJ interesting and innovative despite the disadvantages of trying to compete in an already crowded and cutthroat market. And he was in his 20s, I believe. I'd forgive him for being a little unclear on Beethovem, I think... --Dwight Decker From Deklane@aol.com Tue Aug 06 15:07:04 2002 Return-Path: X-Sender: Deklane@aol.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-8_0_7_4); 6 Aug 2002 22:07:03 -0000 Received: (qmail 31971 invoked from network); 6 Aug 2002 22:07:03 -0000 Received: from unknown (66.218.66.216) by m14.grp.scd.yahoo.com with QMQP; 6 Aug 2002 22:07:03 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO imo-m04.mx.aol.com) (64.12.136.7) by mta1.grp.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 6 Aug 2002 22:07:03 -0000 Received: from Deklane@aol.com by imo-m04.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v33.5.) id r.fe.1bdd60b2 (18559) for ; Tue, 6 Aug 2002 18:06:57 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: Date: Tue, 6 Aug 2002 18:06:57 EDT Subject: Re: [mightycomics] MLJ Veterans at Comicon To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 5.0 for Windows sub 138 From: Deklane@aol.com X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=20526609 In a message dated 8/5/02 9:20:08 AM US Mountain Standard Time, Deklane@aol.com writes: << The Golden Age panel had a couple of MLJ veterans on it.

Kanigher could apparently rub other people the wrong way, but Novick has nothing but fond memories of him and said as much.

It's announcement time for me (I gotta put up a trivia quiz sometime, or try to answer someone else's)! I've started a new Yahoo group for Seattle-Tacoma area comics fans, called Sea-Tac Comics Club! The purpose of this group is to provide a centralized mailing list for comics fans in the area to alert each other about comics-related events (whether it's a show, a shop having a sale, comics-related stuff on TV, or whatever), help each other out in tracking down an issue they need for their collections, discuss comics, etc. I'm also hoping once things get going, we'll be able to have gatherings about every three months or so for pizza or whatever, just so we can connect faces with names. The only rules are be nice, respect other's opinions, and have fun! The group can be found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SeaTacComics -- you can either go there yourself and sign up, or if you prefer, email me at waffyjon@yahoo.com with your preferred email address, and I can add you to the list myself. Feel free to forward this message on to your friends who are in the Seattle-Tacoma area, and to other lists you might be on that I'm not! Thanks! Jon B.

Great job on the Shield TPB! I really enjoyed it. The introduction by you and Mr. Overstreet were very enjoyable, and I felt you and the staff at ArchieCo did an outstanding job putting it all together. Go buy yourselves a bottle of champagne. You deserve it. Please, tell us whether this TPB makes a splash in the market. I certainly hope it's a big enough hit to help the powers-that-be at Archie understand that these characters are historically significant, bankable and still loved by a legion of fans. Give us more, ArchieCo! If you produce them, I will always buy them. As far as suggestions for future volumes, I'm dying to read some golden age Hangman and Black Hood stories.

While anthologies of stories might be nice just for the variety of characters, I strongly lean towards volumes which reprint stories of a single character in chronological sequence, like DC's Archives editions. I don't agree with AdMan's assessment of the Silver Age Mighty Comics Group, but I'd rather see ArchieCo concentrate on reprinting the Golden Age MLJ stuff, since I already own most of the Silver Age stuff.

Those stories are what made me a lifelong MLJ fan. (Although, admittedly with the caveat that I realized at 14 that the Mighty stories were killing the characters for the larger audience and my support for the line was largely in the desperate hope the creators would turn things around and make the comics good.) And yet...as I've said on this ML before, I've always had the feeling that the Mighty comics were ALMOST good. Jerry Siegel had some good concepts, I thought, smothered though they were by the self-consciously "camp" writing. I'm not sure how well they would go over now reprinted in a trade PB, though I fear the worst because the characters are largely unknown. Still, some of the Web stories hold up fairly well (they're funny! -- Siegel had a cockeyed sense of humor, after all). I can envision a Web volume, if only because there weren't that many Web stories in the first place and the Silver Age Web revival actually lasted longer (calendar-wise) than the original Golden Age run. A few choice Golden Age Web stories followed by the better Mighty Web revival stories might make a nice volume. The way Mighty handled the initial Web revival was absolutely brilliant, coming out of nowhere in a Shield story the way it did, and it may have been the story that signed, sealed, and delivered me as an MLJ/Mighty fan to this day. People might rightly complain about the later hen-pecked Web shtick and the mother-in-law and making Rosie into Pow-Girl, but that revival story was first-rate. My fantasy over the years has been to revive the MLJ characters by largely accepting the Mighty Comics version (but doing it RIGHT), and going from there. Admittedly, "RIGHT" is a subjective concept, and indulging my inner 14-year-old may be all very well for me, but maybe not so much for you or anybody else. Also, I don't own the characters, and we're dealing with a small, family-owned company here that over the decades has historically been very cautious about wildly speculative ventures. But some years ago, I did have a chance to script three issues of a B&W independent comic called "Skye Blue," about a teenage super-hero who was the daughter of a retired super-hero called "the Defender." Scratch off the paint and you might discover it was my fantasy of what I'd do if I ever got hold of the Web, though I probably would have campaigned for making his daughter a new version of the Fox. "Skye Blue" was a name you come up with when after 50-odd years of super-heroes all the good names have been taken. Unfortunately, I discovered later that there was a real lady performer in dubious entertainments calling herself Skye Blue... Having some time on my hands of late (my primary job vanished with the value of Lucent stock and I'm currently making some kind of modest living by translating comic-book stories about certain famous ducks and mouses for a European publisher), I've been rereading a lot of old Superman stories. Quite a bit of the Weisinger-era material has been reprinted and is readily available, and...my gorsh, those are AWFUL stories! I loved 'em when I was seven, but they certainly don't hold up now. Siegel's scripts for Mighty aren't much worse than what he had been doing for DC. The difference is that Superman was by far the more famous and established character than any of the old MLJ revivals. Also, I think Weisinger was a dominant editor with a very clear idea of what he wanted, and he knew his market based on the track record of quite a few years by then, while the Mighty people were floundering and hoping that something they tried would stick; Weisinger could get Siegel to produce something according to the standard successful Superman formula, but Jerry Ess was on his own with the Mighty material. And I don't think Siegel had enough time or space to really develop the ideas he did have. The wonder may be that he did as well as he did... --Dwight Decker From mluebker@attbi.com Tue Sep 24 06:18:05 2002 Return-Path: X-Sender: mluebker@attbi.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-8_1_1_3); 24 Sep 2002 13:18:04 -0000 Received: (qmail 91197 invoked from network); 24 Sep 2002 13:18:04 -0000 Received: from unknown (66.218.66.218) by m13.grp.scd.yahoo.com with QMQP; 24 Sep 2002 13:18:04 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO sccrmhc02.attbi.com) (204.127.202.62) by mta3.grp.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 24 Sep 2002 13:18:04 -0000 Received: from attbi.com ([12.245.148.71]) by sccrmhc02.attbi.com (InterMail vM.4.01.03.27 201-229-121-127-20010626) with ESMTP id <20020924131803.YLNR14454.sccrmhc02.attbi.com@attbi.com> for ; Tue, 24 Sep 2002 13:18:03 +0000 Message-ID: <3D90671A.6090106@attbi.com> Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2002 09:22:34 -0400 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [mightycomics] Shield TPB References: <99.2cdca5ba.2ac0a101@aol.com> Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------000503070006070504030006" From: Mark Luebker X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=90692519 X-Yahoo-Profile: mluebker --------------000503070006070504030006 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Benny7dude@aol.com wrote: > The Shield TPB is out... anyone have any comments or suggestions for > future editions?

It'd be a good way to introduce the readers to the heroes that might some day be featured in a new Crusaders book (PLEASE????) As for other suggestions, I think JACK COLE'S The Comet would be nice, maybe skipping around here and there, but ending with his "death" and the beginning of the Hangman, followed by a Hangman TPB. Black Hood is a must. If you are to hit the many eras of the characters, though, Gray Morrow's Black Hood MUST be included in this. The last interview he gave was about his stint doing books for ArchieCo/Red Circle (interviewed be me, no less...) Anywhom. While I'd like to see trades of some of the back-up heroes, I know it's not financially viable unless it was in some sort of established TPB series that came out say bi-monthly (Shield, then Black Hood, then Fly, then Web, then Comet, then Hangman, then Captain Flag, etc...). Y'know, get an ongoing thing happening. Even numbering the volumes would be cool. Or one issue featuring a few of the different back-ups (8 stories, 8 characters). If you're gonna reprint much of the Mighty stuff, you gotta hit Red Rube as well....

But, I got quite a bit uploaded today. I've added the following non-paid writings (a better term than fan fiction, I think): The Ultimate Crusaders--3 issue-sized stories taking the Crusaders throughout the years, and giving them new adventures (it even references their Archie's Weird Adventures stories). It's really very well done, and the first story arc has the Crusaders battling Mr. Justice's old foe: Satan himself, and also features the return of a familiar face. The Jaguar--Judgement -- this is a short Impact Comics piece, that takes place after the Jaguar's series is cancelled. Stop The Presses--this is a story featuring an old, obscure MLJ hero: The Press Guardian, and is very fun in the old pulp style. War with the Wizard--this is DarkMark's 7-chapter tale of the return of the Wizard. Very good explanations of continuity throughout the MLJ/Mighty/Red Circle eras. I've also got some other stories that will be put up soon. read and let me know what you think!

Jerry Siegel CREATED Superman, but I make it sound like he was writing about somebody else's character. But by the early '60s, he pretty much was. Somewhere, buried deep in the gathering dust of oblivion (I hope...), is an issue of the Rocket's Blast Comicollector (the leading fanzine of its time) circa 1968 with a letter from a 16-year-old Moi proposing that Jerry Siegel be contacted for an interview. In particular, I wanted to find out what he really thought of all the goofy stuff that had been done to his character by the early '60s -- if he really endorsed Bizarros, mermaids, and multi-colored Kryptonite, not to mention the cat, the horse, and the monkey as well as the dog. Wrapped as I was in several layers of thick, sound-proofed ignorance, I didn't know he had actually written a lot of those stories himself.

Also, Mighty Crusaders as a team would rate their own collections, and in fact the first four 1960s stories (from Fly Man #'s 31, 32 & 33 as well as Mighty Crusaders #1) have a great shot at coming out in 2003.

Just a question, though...if you don't reprint the George > Good point. I suppose one Storm story won't kill anyone and that one actually isn't too bad compared to the next couple (I think he went from drawing with his right foot to his left after Pep #17). Besides the origin story wouldn't need to sully the pages of the Hangman trade since we're going to need stories for the Origins of the MLJ Heroes trade. I've taken the liberty of picking said stories because it's fun and I'm bored. Hangman: Like Dwight said, this is a landmark story.

Besides the origin story wouldn't need to sully the pages of the Hangman trade since we're going to need stories for the Origins of the MLJ Heroes trade. >> As I recall the Hangman story in Pep #18, it won't be reprinted any time soon if only because of a comical black character named "Anthracite." Now, there are points in the story's favor: the black characters are drawn to look more like teddybears than like the more conventional stereotypes (so it isn't so much offensive as "Where did that come from?!"). And Anthracite is one of the good guys, who has important information about the case, but the authorities won't take him seriously because he's black (so there's social comment here). Still, the racial angle alone will probably deep-six the story if the thought of a Hangman TPB is ever considered -- which is unfortunate, because it's otherwise a pretty important story. A character's second appearance is awfully early to be doing the "Evil Impersonator" plot, so I can only guess there was a need felt at MLJ HQ to establish what the Hangman will and won't do. They had a character with a drastic name and lurid imagery, sort of Batman taken even further, so they apparently decided they had better make it clear that the Hangman is not a self-appointed executioner who goes around hanging people who he thinks don't deserve to live. In the story, the Evil Impersonator was killing people, and the real Hangman had to clear his name. (We'll pass over one of the lamest plot gimmicks I've ever seen -- you could tell the Evil Hangman because the villain had been born with two thumbs on one hand, and of course when his whole evil purpose is to disguise himself to look like somebody else, he still wears two-thumbed gloves that give him away.) Despite the name, the Hangman never hanged anybody (as far as I know -- I haven't seen all the Pep stories). Some criminals accidentally killed themselves in trying to escape (saving the State the expense of a trial), but all the Hangman ever intended to do was turn criminals over to the duly constituted authorities. The gallows imagery was just that: imagery, a symbol of the fate that awaited criminals. The weird thing is that while the Hangman never hanged anybody (again, as far as I know), Captain Flag DID hang a villain. Well, I hope Paul Cee (Castiglia -- but remember Jerry Ess and Rick Gee?) has managed to wade through all the introductory remarks above and get down here, because this is where I get serious about making suggestions for a future TPB. As I've said, Paris's ideas for TPBs are great and I'd buy any of them. Paul Cee has pointed out that there are problems with the Hangman -- just too lurid for Archie's management and the image they want to project. But the Hangman was an important character and his origin a landmark. What's the answer? An "Origins of the MLJ Heroes" TPB, as Paris suggested. First, origin stories are often the best stories a lot of characters ever have. Thought is put into introducing a new character with lots of potential in the hopes of grabbing readers, then later stories go downhill as they turn into the same old routine. (There are numerous counter-examples, of course, where characters start out weak but get better later as the concepts are fleshed out or developed or new innovations are introduced.) Some of the MLJ characters had pretty good origins (Captain Flag, for instance). Anyway, comics fans love a good origin story, and what better than a whole book of them? Maybe this would be the book to open with the Private Strong origin, with the Simon-Kirby connection to get modern fans' attention, even if Joe Simon's cooperation has to be invited. And with a whole book of origins, this is the place to run the Hangman origin. Since it's basically buried in the book, it doesn't stand out as anything but one more superhero story. There's nothing unusually lurid or graphic about the story as I recall (not like Hangman #3, with severed heads rolling around...). And there could be an introductory text putting the story into historical perspective, talking about MLJ's own "dark knight," and subtly distancing current ArchieCo from the excesses of the Golden Age. Everybody's happy I think: historically important story is reprinted, people get to see what the Hangman looked like, but it doesn't stand out so much or attract so much attention that it makes ArchieCo management nervous. But speaking of excesses...wasn't it the Fireball origin story in Pep that had the hero basically frying the villain at the end...and the city authorities telling him to keep up the good work? The Origins of MLJ book may have to pass on that one... --Dwight From fdurso@attbi.com Fri Sep 27 11:12:04 2002 Return-Path: X-Sender: fdurso@attbi.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (EGP: mail-8_1_1_4); 27 Sep 2002 18:12:03 -0000 Received: (qmail 65331 invoked from network); 27 Sep 2002 18:12:03 -0000 Received: from unknown (66.218.66.217) by m6.grp.scd.yahoo.com with QMQP; 27 Sep 2002 18:12:03 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO rwcrmhc52.attbi.com) (216.148.227.88) by mta2.grp.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 27 Sep 2002 18:12:03 -0000 Received: from attbi.com ([24.62.103.102]) by rwcrmhc52.attbi.com (InterMail vM.4.01.03.27 201-229-121-127-20010626) with ESMTP id <20020927181203.NHEU1696.rwcrmhc52.attbi.com@attbi.com> for ; Fri, 27 Sep 2002 18:12:03 +0000 Message-ID: <3D94A7A9.2080607@attbi.com> Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2002 14:47:05 -0400 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Subject: anything with the MIGHTY CRUSADERS on the cover References: <1033143506.238.80870.m12@yahoogroups.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Frank D'Urso Reply-To: fdurso@attbi.com X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=100117994 X-Yahoo-Profile: thunderbirdv Y'all, Archie pubs has a GREAT backlog of golden age stories, it seems to me the best way to capitolize on these for reprint TPB is to go with their strengths.....ie....the archie and pals and gals etc....title the collection ARCHIES SUPER TEENS visit the MIGHTY CRUSADERS since the Super Teens are now honarary members of the MIGHTY CRUSADERS,,,,,and the MC have had their capsulized origins appearing already.....how about having a collected edition of the BEST stories of the golden age?

I was thinking as to how I could enhance the site, and an idea struck me. Since I'm a bit of a music aficionado, I thought posted some mp3's from the first half of the 20th century would not only be free from trademarks, but would be fun to listen to while reading these books.

Of course, I refuse to pay for software since Goldcomics.com has built in PHP support (Complicated database stuff for you non-computer people), and since the forums are working very well, I want to stream the audio to you. Yeah, that's right! You'll be able to search for songs by song title, artist, etc and NOT HAVE TO wait to DOWNLOAD them, they should play nicely from the site. I'm hoping it's pretty straightforward and easy to use. Anyway, this'll be a work in progress, but if you would like an advance listening to some of the songs via direct download, I have set up http://mp3.goldcomics.com in the meantime. The full path to the songs (just for now) is http://mp3.goldcomics.com/mp3 So enjoy guys! My love for old comics is only surpassed by music, and I know it's weird that a 29 year old likes this stuff, but hey, to each his own.

When did Dusty appear in the sixties?  I've got all the Mighty Comics from the Silver Age, and I don't remember him coming back.  He'd have to have been 20 years older than in his kid sidekick days during the Golden Age, since enough time had gone by for Joe Higgins' son Bill Higgins to have grown to adulthood and taken over his father's old Shield costume.  Was Dusty one of the swarm of superheroes briefly cameoed in "Too Many Super Heroes", and I just forgot about him?

I've been asked by a magazine to re- write an article I wrote some years back on the 70s Red Circle mystery titles and resubmit it as a serial. I want to say a bit about- a paragraph or two-the first two issues of Chilling Adventures In Sorcery but I don't know zilch about them. Anything anyone can tell me-particularly their contents-would be of great help. I do know that Scott Shaw! once referred to them as wholesome horror comics. Any input anyone wants to give on the rest of the line is welcome too but I definitely need to know about these two issues.

CASTIGLIA: There will most likely be six trade paperbacks from Archie in 2003, three of which have been determined: a book collecting the original Sonic the Hedgehog miniseries (issues #0 through #3), a compilation of silver age Betty and Veronica beach stories, and last but not least, the stories that introduced the original Mighty Crusaders superhero team in 1962. We're batting around several possibilities for the other three, which we'll announce when official. THE PULSE: What other projects are you working on? CASTIGLIA: Archie keeps me very busy with the "Archie's Mysteries" series, trade paperback projects, and the monthly solicitation and press release copy I write for them. Loving what I do, I'd of course entertain other projects-only time will tell. I do have some ideas for a Mighty Crusaders re-launch. Perhaps the success of the Crusaders paperbacks will make that viable.

X-Originating-IP: 67.31.150.103 X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=80890958 X-Yahoo-Profile: shadz.rm A year or so ago, someone on this list got some copies of Archie’s Madhouse, and told us all about the one-shot super-heroes therein. I just got #45, so I’ll play that game too This issue is from Feb 1966, so Batmania was in full swing, and 3 of the stories are super-hero parodies. Captian Sprocket: “Mr. Clock” Writer unknown, art by Joe Edwards Madhouse’s resident super-hero Captain Sprocket comes up against the villain Mr. Clock, who has time travel powers – and is apparently an anthropomorphized clock, since he is made of metal and tics all the time. We also meet Cap’s “double assistants”, two unnamed heroes in green costumes. One has a big number 1 on his chest, and the other has the number 2. They aren’t doubles (look-alikes) of Captain Sprocket, and they don’t even look like each other, so I don’t know why Cap call them his “double assistants”. Mr. Clock strands them in America circa 1492, where they are about to be scalped by Indians, and we don’t see them again. And they don’t seem to have super powers either, so they’re pretty worried... Cap beats Mr. Clock by setting him up for a blind date with Cap’s friend Sylvia. How does that stop Mr. Clock? Sylvia has “a face that can stop a clock!” “Finkfinger” Writer unknown, art by John Langton (that’s the guy with the extremely cartoony style who did many Madhouse stories in the late ‘60s) Teenage television repairman Finkfinger (no first name given) gets electrical powers from being shocked too may times (hey, unplug those TVs before working on them!) So what does he do with his new powers? He joins the football team and becomes their star player – by shocking the players on the other team so they can’t stop him! (You’d think that’d be against the rules.) But he gets too arrogant and doesn’t protect his zapping finger, and when it gets injured and he can’t zap no more, he just a regular shmoe again. “Juke Box Joe” Writer unknown, art by John Langton This story is in the Bad Guys Section, so it’s about a super-villain – Juke Box Joe, the guy with a juke box for a torso. He can control others by choosing what kind of music to play. “Sweet relaxing music” causes everyone in a bank to fall asleep so he can rob it. A “sad tune” causes police to cry too much to chase him. Rock & roll causes Captain Sprocket (yes, he shows up) to dance uncontrollably. “Cool jazz” even freezes cops into a big block of ice! The story is continued next issue, after Joe uses a military march to force Cap to take a long walk off a short pier... The fourth story features Sabrina, the Teenage Witch Shad Z. ^Q^ (ShadZ@rocketmail.com,ShadZ@email.com,Jackalope7@go.com) http://shadz.homestead.com/files/ HONK TO SEE PUPPIES Sign along US 287, Loveland CO -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup CareerBuilder.com has over 400,000 jobs.

(Thanks Ric!) Here's some things I found interesting. -The cover Shadow looks very much like the classic Pulp character but inside looks like Tommy Troy, DA. -His triple life as The Shadow, a secret agent and a millionaire business tycoon was very cool. The number of plots each could spin off were endless. Story one started in Paris. -The character easily could have been an influence for the revival of The Black Hood with all his hi-tech gimmicks. Shadow had a 'back seat steering wheel' in one story as well as hidden passages and switches in his mansion. -His oblivious love interest and the faithful man servant sounds a tad familiar don't it? It was fun though. I could see those being the focus of a few stories. It seemed to be a nice blend of James Bond/The Saint and The Shadow pulp hero. He had some Green Arrow in him too. Two perfect running shots with bricks over his shoulder into a pursuing car's headlights. Wow eh? Hehehe. I hope I get to see some more just to see what lines they developed him along. -Mecitrus From seajayventuresca@yahoo.ca Sat Jun 28 06:04:06 2003 Return-Path: X-Sender: seajayventuresca@yahoo.ca X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (qmail 98692 invoked from network); 28 Jun 2003 13:04:05 -0000 Received: from unknown (66.218.66.217) by m1.grp.scd.yahoo.com with QMQP; 28 Jun 2003 13:04:05 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO web40807.mail.yahoo.com) (66.218.78.184) by mta2.grp.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 28 Jun 2003 13:04:05 -0000 Message-ID: <20030628130405.79673.qmail@web40807.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [24.103.243.253] by web40807.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Sat, 28 Jun 2003 06:04:05 PDT Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2003 06:04:05 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: [mightycomics] The Shadow #1 - some quick thoughts To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="0-1530083407-1056805445=:78633" From: Jonathan Gilbert X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=76193334 X-Yahoo-Profile: seajayventuresca --0-1530083407-1056805445=:78633 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Actually the Shadow series was okay at first but then it got back, really, really bad.

I never charge for my comics, so if you'd like to get one free in the mail, just send me your mailing address and I'll mail one your wany once I get my printer and computer working properly again. Also, if you feel the urge, you could join the BC Studios Yahoo group and see the drawn pages from issue #2, which is being added to the files section of that group today. Just thought I'd make the offer. Heck, in these days, a free comic is something rare...

Miramax has hot date with
Archie's gal pals

Comics co. to enter film, tv realm with live action pic<= /H3>


By MICHAEL FLEMING


Miramax Films made a preemptive deal with Archie Comics= Entertainment to team on "Betty & Veronica," a live-action film based = on the blond and brunette sirens from the 60-year-old comic series.

The pic will be the first live actioner done on the venerab= le strip on the Riverdale high school kids.

It is also the first step for Archie Comics Entertainment t= o try to emulate the recent screen success of Marvel Entertainment, which h= as hatched numerous franchise films from its comic book characters.

"We had offers from four studios, but right before we heade= d to L.A. we went with Miramax because they showed the focus, the understan= ding and the marketing potential for the first ever live action film from t= he Archies gang," said Archie Comics Entertainment prexy Allan I. Grafman.<= /P>

Grafman recently banded with CEO Chuck Grimes and Michael S= ilberkleit and Richard Goldwater to hatch a company designed to make movies= and merchandising opportunities from a comics catalog that includes "Sabri= na The Teenage Witch," "Josie and the Pussycats," "Kate Keene, Teen Model" = and Mighty Crusaders."

Grafman said they are exploring feature or TV deals for eac= h of those properties, but wanted the Archie film to kick things off.

"This was a huge first step for our company, it is the flag= ship brand," he said. "Miramax has made a substantial financial commitment = to the movie, and will be our partner in merchandising from the start. We b= elieve this has unlimited potential for the youth market, and it has been k= ept off the market until now." Grimes will produce the pic, Grafman will be= exec producer and Silberkleit and Goldwater will be associate producers.

For Miramax, the deal marks another effort to engage film f= riendly fare. The studio has stepped up its commitment in that direction, w= ith "The Green Hornet" and "Artemis Fowl." Studio's Michelle Raimo and Mery= l Poster will oversee production.

I like that Frank. Maybe Archie is really a Time Master from Dr.Who but he was hit in the head and can't remember. Or he's a "Q" from Star Trek? An energy being who also has forgotten his origins and keeps Riverdale in a time loop. But hey, what if everyone else but Archie knows time has stopped and or repeating and they can't help Archie so they are doomed to live forever in Riverdale never changing, never dying. Would this be something from maybe a Twilight Zone or bad EC comic? Kinda creepy when you think about it eh?

I much later tracked down a mint copy of ASHD #1 and 2 at a convention for a very reasonable price. For anyone who doesn't have them they are pretty damn good.

I haven't looked at a print copy of the current Previews catalog yet (I'll be turning in my order form to my shop later today), so I don't know if the catalog has an explanation for this absence.

Welcome to

the M= ighty Crusaders Network 2.0

Last month I added the Alex Wright Gall= ery

I added the Leonard Morgan Gallery

and I added the Black Hood Radio Show (thank= s Brad)

as a result the site crashed.

I had 3 interlocked sites

www.mightycru= saders.net

www.mightymlj.com

www.mightycru= saders.org

Each site had 20mb with 1.0gb data transfer, when we hit = 1.1gb in data transfer the host shut down the site. So I moved  www.mightycrusaders.net to 100mb = with 10gb data transfer. I had hoped to have everything ready for a March 1= st start date.

and the new site already takes up more the 62mb

I spoke with Chu= ck Grimes (CEO of Archie Entertainment) and he asked me to work up a propos= al for a new Mighty Crusaders comic. I had been put in contact with him by= a third party who knew of my devotion to the characters (anyone remember M= ightyMLJ.com? that was me). Anyway, Roland Mann (writer-The Protectors--M= alibu Comics as well as some Ultraverse titles) and I worked together on so= me ideas based on this proposal, but we later discovered that Chuck was not= interested in following up on any Mighty Crusaders books until he could "g= et a deal done in Hollywood" with the characters. So, the proposal was pretty much completed, and Roland was even working on = the first 6-issue story arc when we found out the project was out of luck. = =20 For those who are interested, here is the 9-page preliminary proposal I had= come up with. You might want to print it out for easier reading. Brad Cobb The Mighty Crusaders: A Proposal Compiled by Bradley S. Cobb September 9, 2003 Section I: Characters The Good Guys: Black Hood - Officer Kip Burland was framed for a jewel heist and for killi= ng his partner by the criminal mastermind known as the Skull. Burland was k= nocked out and part of the gems were on his person, as well as the murder w= eapon. Kip was suspended and arrested for the murder. After making bail, Bu= rland went out after the Skull on his own. He was shot and then left in the= forest for dead by the Skull's goons. An old man found him and nursed him = back to health. The man gave him an old black hood and told him that for ce= nturies men and women have fought evil by wearing the hood. Kip accepted th= e gift, and returned to town as the Black Hood, and brought the Skull to ju= stice, and cleared his own name. Many on the force still remained suspiciou= s of him, and he eventually quit to start his own private eye business. He = has been invaluable to the Shield and Senator Paul Patton in finding inform= ation. He assists with the New Crusade by, along with the Web, tracking dow= n the secret identities of most of the active super-heroes. He does not joi= n the Crusaders as a regular member, but is available when needed. Black Jack - Jack Jones is a good, honest cop who is nicknamed "blackjack" = because he spends much of the time playing blackjack instead of working on = his reports. He's athletic, a former high school gymnast. He and his partne= r are set up by a third cop and betrayed to "Lucky" Lavitto, the local mob = boss in Los Arenas. Jack had broken up a couple of Lucky's rackets, and the= refore got on his bad side. He and his partner are knocked out and put in a= room which is then cemented over. Jack wakes up, uses the Jack of Spades t= o dig an air hole in the wet cement, and waits to be rescued. He took the c= ostumed appearance of Black Jack and brought the bad guys--and the crocked = cop--to justice. He joins up in the New Crusade, and is a part-time Crusade= r afterwards. Bob Phantom - Walt Whitney is a newspaper columnist (perhaps a T.V. reporte= r instead). He is an egomaniac who routinely reports on how Bob Phantom sav= es the day and how the police chief and the D.A. didn't, much to their chag= rin. He appears and disappears in a cloud of smoke (smoke pellets), and is = in top physical condition. No origin was ever given in the MLJ books, but o= ne will be created at a later date if needed. He always looks to be in the = spotlight, but can't seem to get Bob Phantom's name any national recognitio= n. He joins up with the New Crusade as much for the notoriety it would brin= g as for wanting to help. He desires to join the Crusaders full-time, but o= nly becomes a reserve member. Boyle, Sgt. - The immediate superior of Lancelot Strong. Captain Commando - John Grayson, now retired, was a covert commando agent. = Most knew him as a pacifist in his secret identity. He is one of the "old s= chool" heroes who fought in the First Crusade. He is currently in his mid-5= 0s. He is brought out of a self-imposed retirement by Senator Paul Patton t= o help with leading the impending New Crusade. After its completion, he goe= s back to being retired. Captain Flag - Tom Townsend, son of a high-class Boston businessman. His fa= mily is 'old blood,' one who's wealth has been in their family for generati= ons. His father has some questionable business partners, and they get on th= e wrong side of a bad guy known as "The Black Hand." They tell the Hand tha= t Tom's father is the one who double-crossed him. The Black Hand and his he= nchmen kidnapped Tom and his father, and left tem to dies in the middle of = nowhere. (the mother is not in the picture, perhaps divorced?) The dad dies= from his injuries, but Tom is rescued by an enormous eagle who nurses him = back to health. The eagle later appears clutching a tattered American flag.= Tom had been praying for a sign as to what would happen, and he took this = as the sign he was waiting for. He made his way back to civilization and cr= eated his Captain Flag persona. He thwarted the Black Hand's efforts all ov= er the city and had a big showdown at Townsend manor, which had been taken = as the Black Hand's new hideout, and emerges victorious. He uses his money = to help those in need, and opens his house to be a home for orphaned boys. = He joins was among the "old school" heroes, and remains retired after the F= irst Crusade. Clancey and Looney - sidekick cops for Steel Sterling stories who aren't re= ally all there.. Collins, Corporal - A tourist stranded in Paris, Jim Collins looks for a wa= y to get out. Through a chain of convoluted events, he ends up joining the = French Army as a means of getting back home. He forms bonds with the infant= rymen, and decides to stay. He quickly rises in rank, and then retires. He = moves back to the USA and serves as an advisor to 3 presidents. He is calle= d back in to help as a tactical expert by Captain Commando in the New Crusa= de. The two had worked together before in France. Comet - John Dickering is a geeky scientist who discovers a formula that al= lows him to fly when he drinks it. The effects only last a limited amount o= f time, so he drinks more. Eventually, the effects become permanent. The si= de effect, however, is that his eyes now fire disintegrating blasts. After = the beams finally subsided, the only things left intact were some red glass= tubes. He formed a visor of the same material so that he could regulate th= e beams. He eventually learned to control them. He created a "comet" costum= e to conceal his identity while doing his "joyriding" (flying). He was hypn= otized by some bad guys on one of his first excursions, and robbed 4 banks,= and ended up killing a couple security guards while under the hypnosis. Wh= en he finally snapped out of it, he turned in the hypnotist and his cronies= , but was still considered an outlaw. He continues on as a hero to try and = show he's not a bad guy, which is a seemingly endless task. He's always try= ing to "make it up" to the people for the evils he did. He jumps at the cha= nce to join the New Crusade, and becomes a cornerstone member of the Crusad= ers. "Devil's Twins" - Tim and Tom Shane are twins in the armed forces who routi= nely disobey orders and somehow always end up stumbling on to something tha= t keeps them out of trouble. Both are after the affection of the same girl.= They are in the same outfit as Lancelot Strong. Doc Strong - A popular comic book and movie character who is the subject of= constant debate: Did he ever really exist? He did indeed exist, and was th= e first of the super-heroes. When many more burst on the scene, Doc retired= and left it to the younger crowd, himself already in his 40s. He was only = active for a few months, and no one really knew what his powers/abilities w= ere. He had incredible mental abilities/powers, and came out of retirement = to fight in the First Crusade. The legend of Doc Strong has grown until he = is now seen as a Flash Gordon type of character. Died fighting in the First= Crusade. Dusty - Richard "Dusty" Stevens is a 14-year old whose parents die when The= Vulture destroys a cruise ship after stealing millions of dollars in paint= ings it was transporting. Dusty is one of the few survivors, and he vows re= venge against the person who caused his parent's death. He emulates the Shi= eld and crafts a costume that is similar to it. He ends up meeting the Shie= ld when one of his cases brings him to town to fight the Vulture. The Shiel= d, being impressed with what he saw from the boy, took him on as a sidekick= for a while. After taking down the Vulture, The Shield convinces Dusty to = join a military school. The Shield redoes Dusty's costume with better mater= ial. Dusty is one of the "prisoners" during the New Crusade. Fireball - Ted Tyler is a volunteer fireman who gets caught in a chemical w= arehouse that is on fire thanks to an arsonist. He somehow survives when th= e warehouse explodes, and he is covered in chemicals. Afterwards, he discov= ers he can increase his body heat so much that he can start fires by snappi= ng his fingers, melt bullets upon contact, and can absorb heat from objects= (perhaps even including fire itself.just thought). He's short (5' 6"), but= stout. He is dating the Fire Chief's daughter, and hopes to be brought on = as a full-time fireman. One of his weapons is using random garbage, setting= it on fire with his touch, and hurling them at the bad guys. He helps out = with the New Crusade, but shows little interest in joining full time when i= t was offered. Firefly - Harley Hudson was a lab assistant at a local university for world= -renowned scientist William Hudsworth. He was a somewhat nonchalant assista= nt, but the assistant nonetheless. Hudsworth had discovered a formula that = would give himself the powers of some of the insect kingdom. Criminals brok= e into the lab to kidnap him and hold him for ransom, but in the melee, he = is shot and killed. To keep the formula out of any bad guys hands, Harley d= rinks it, not knowing to what extent it would work. He learned he could bec= ome blindingly bright (like a firefly), and also could jump long distances = (like a grasshopper) and other powers could manifest themselves later. He's= not much of a detective, and it takes him over two years to track down the= guys who killed the professor. He is easily recruited to join the New Crus= ade because he "has nothing better to do." He's currently unemployed. Fly, the - Tommy Troy goes to live with his oddball uncle after his parents= die in a car crash. After moving into his room, he finds a ring on the flo= or. It had a stylized fly on it. Curious, he put it on. As he did, his mind= was filled with images of an odd-looking super-hero. Tommy looked in the m= irror and realizes that he IS that super-hero. He hurriedly removes the rin= g, and changes back to his old self. Almost immediately after removing the = ring, his uncle walked in and said, "Did it work?" "Tommy said, "Did what w= ork?" "The ring," replied the uncle, "We've been waiting for you, Tommy. We= have been waiting for the one who could make the ring work again. It's bee= n in the Troy family for 17 generations, waiting for the heir who is pure e= nough to make it work. So, did it work? Did you become They Fly?" "uh-huh."= Tommy joined up in the New Crusade and becomes a core member of the Crusad= ers. Fox, the - Paul Patton was a football player at Penn State who was injured = and lost his scholarship. He finished his education, eventually gaining an = academic scholarship. When he returned home, he became active in the politi= cal arena, and worked as a photographer at the local newspaper, The Globe. = He saw and took pictures of companies dumping medical waste into the river,= and went after the people responsible as "The Fox." He was very socially a= ctive, and routinely exposed corporate crime. He rarely fought petty crimin= als, and never really had an arch-enemy, but he did have some nationally pu= blicized adventures that included saving the president from assassination a= nd thwarting a suicide bomber in New York City. He gave up the super-hero g= ig after blowing out both his knees jumping from a burning building, and we= nt into politics full-time. He is the senior senator from Wyoming, and a ve= ry vocal lawmaker who isn't afraid to speak his mind. He is a member of the= Senate Intelligence Committee. He is also the foremost expert on super-hum= an activity. As a member of the S.I.C., he hears a report about something m= ajor going on. The other members of the committee dismiss the report, but P= atton knows better, as the information comes from Blaine Whitney, AKA the W= izard. Knowing the history of the First Crusade, he knows how serious the r= eport is. He is the one that sets the New Crusade into motion.=20 Green Falcon - ??? Hangman - Bob Dickering, older brother of John Dickering--The Comet--uses a= hangman's noose like a lasso to capture villains. He scares them into admi= tting their crimes and therefore becoming their own hangman. (not sure if t= he Hangman is a viable character name for an Archie Comics project). Hercules - A circus strongman who takes on petty criminals in the cities hi= s circus travels to. He befriended some of the old heroes and was part of t= he First Crusade. Died in the final battle. Inferno - also called "The Fire-Breather" was a circus performer who, with = the "rubber man" known as Twister and the snake-charmer known as The Rattle= r, robbed jewelry stores during their stops in big cities. They were captur= ed by Steel Sterling, and put in jail. He apparently went straight while in= jail. Twister and Rattler planned to escape and kill the judge that put th= em away, and then were going after Steel Sterling. Inferno escaped first, w= ent to the judge's house and warned him. Steel Sterling is called, and is t= here when Rattler and Twister show up. Both Sterling and the judge agree th= at Inferno has probably gone straight, and they allow him to go free, altho= ugh he's still considered an escaped convict. He can blow flames from his m= outh which can melt steel doors, and could melt guns from a 10-foot distanc= e. Steel Sterling trusts him completely, but many of the other heroes are n= ot so sure. Inferno is one of the zombies of the New Crusade, which bolster= s the distrust. Jaguar - Raphael "Ralph" Hardy was a rich latin-American playboy who threw = himself headfirst into any hobby he happened to become interested in at any= given time. He got interested in archeology and so he financed an archeolo= gical dig in Central America where he also participated. They discover a to= mb inside an old Incan temple. Ralph touches the odd belt that is on the co= rpse, and suddenly realizes that is has somehow appeared around his own wai= st. It gives him the powers to communicate with animals, as well as gives t= hem some of their attributes (smell, tracking ability, speed, leaping). He = joins the Crusade, but disappears after it is over. He fights to help the a= nimal kingdom. Kalthar - Kalvin Tharios is a man who has the ability to increase his heigh= t to 15 feet, and can shrink back to normal size by thought. He is a new he= ro, only being active for a year. He has no other powers, and becomes a cas= ualty of the New Crusade. Marvel, the - He is a mysterious man who appeared in public once to rescue = "Scoop" Cody from being gunned down by mob boss "King" Carr. The Marvel the= n helps Cody track the boss down and turned him in to the police. Perhaps i= s a second identity for a different hero? Dies during the New Crusade. Mr. Justice - Prince James of England is killed in 1040 AD by Scottish rebe= ls while in his castle. His spirit, however, remained in the castle and kil= led his attackers. His spirit is trapped and doomed to roam forever in the = abandoned walls of the castle. Almost 1000 years later, an American oil man= buys the castle and has it taken apart and moved to America to be rebuilt.= The boat mysteriously sinks near the US coastline, but the spirit of Princ= e James is released. Being a ghost, his powers are almost limitless, and co= ntinuously unknown. He fights to ensure that others will not meet the same = fate that he did (murdered). He has helped other heroes before, but no one = knows how to get a hold of him. He involves himself in the New Crusade, but= then disappears again. Mr. Satin - (based upon character Mr. Satan, but that name is not one that = should go with a heroic character) Dudley Bradshaw was a "hero for hire" wi= th a purple costume and a yellow cape. He would advertise in the local pape= r, as well as on television for people needing his services. He retired aft= er the First Crusade. Whereabouts unknown. Press Guardian - (This character was originally the Falcon: Press Guardian)= . He originally fought off people trying to take over his father's newspape= r, the Daily Express, wearing a white costume with a golden feathery cape. = He enjoyed the rush he got, and decided to continue fighting for those who = could not defend themselves. But he got a bit more practical and switched t= o a green suit/fedora and a red mask. He then just went by the Falcon (whic= h is a cooler name than the Press Guardian). He was strong in fight and wil= lpower, which made up for his lack of size (5' 10", 150 lbs). He wore a bul= let-proof vest under his suit. He had no reservations about writing about t= he bad guys he discovered in the newspaper. He would name names before the = police even became involved in the investigation. He never gained notoriety= outside of his local area. Now retired from heroics and is publisher of th= e newspaper himself. Was one of the 7 survivors of the First Crusade. Rang-a-Tang - The Web's Dog. Red Rube - Rueben Reubens (yes, there is an 's' at the end of it now) is a = young orphan of 10 years old who has inherited powers from the ghosts of hi= s ancestors. He can fly, has above average strength and speed, but isn't in= vulnerable. His skin is tougher than normal men's skin, but still not invul= nerable. Any injuries incurred while Red Rube carries over when he changes = to Rueben. He becomes Red Rube by calling out "Hey Rube!" He was actively p= ursued for inclusion in the Crusade, but he was almost impossible to find h= im (after all, you wouldn't look for a 10-year-old to find a 20's-ish hero)= . He was tracked down while he was in action, and he jumped at the chance t= o join the New Crusade because he idolized the super-heroes and desperately= wanted to spend time with them. Roy - the "super-boy" was a self-imposed sidekick to the Wizard. The Wizard= discovered a paperboy being picked on by some bullies, so he went over and= scared them off. Roy instantly took on a persona as "The Super-Boy" and se= emed to show up wherever the Wizard did. The Wizard finally relented and to= ok him on as a sidekick, no so much as to have help, but to save Roy from h= imself. The Shield convinced the Wizard to have Roy entered into the milita= ry school where Dusty was attending. The two teamed up as the Boy Buddies w= hile there. A zombie of the New Crusade. Scarlet Avenger - Jim Kendall was on a plane hijacked because of the gold b= ars it was transporting. There was a fight for control of the plane, and it= crashed into a lake. Jim's wife and kids died in the flight, and Jim was t= he only survivor. The crash caused serious muscle damage in his face, and h= e was nicknamed "The Man who Never Smiles" because he no longer has the abi= lity to even grin. He is a scientific genius and creates a steel mesh cloak= (bulletproof), a video portable phone, an electric car, and a hypnotizing = machine. His emblem is a flaming arrow. He was one of the survivors of the = First Crusade, and then retired. He was recruited to the New Crusade for hi= s scientific knowledge. Shield I - Joe Higgins's father was a government scientist who makes an ama= zing discovery, but before he can reveal it, he was killed. Treason was sus= pected, and Mr. Higgins was labeled a traitor. The only thing he ever revea= led of it was to Joe. He told him the acronym SHIELD. Joe devoted himself t= o clearing his father's name. He dedicated himself to studying, and graduat= ed college with honors in 3 years. He then aced the FBI entrance exam at th= e age of 24. He finds his father's notes and complete' his work, and uses t= he SHIELD formula and suit to fight crime and represent the values of Ameri= ca. The formula gave him great strength, near invulnerability, and enhanced= senses. He is an unwavering patriot and becomes a good friend to Sen. Paul= Patton. Patton gave advise to Higgins throughout the years. The Shield is = the premiere super-hero, and leads the New Crusade. He also is the leader o= f the Crusaders once it is formed. Shield II - Son of Joe Higgins ---not being used at this time--- Silver Fox - a crafty police chief with a white streak down the middle of h= is hair (bad guys call him the skunk). He is the chief in the area in which= Red Rube operates. Steel Sterling - John Sterling is a Midwestern boy, from a small town in Io= wa, back-up middle linebacker of the high school football team, the kind of= guy who prefers drinking a cold glass of milk to soda. He's the last true = boy scout. One night he had a dream that he was in a big city and that he f= ound an industrial area. He then dreamt that he dove into a vat of molten s= teel. When he awoke, he was back home, still in bed, but he had become comp= letely invulnerable. He reasoned that he must have properties of steel, so = he created an electromagnetic belt that can turn him into one big magnet. H= e freely joins the New Crusade, and then goes back to high school. He plans= on either joining the military or the Crusaders upon graduation. Strong, Lancelot - From the time he was born, he showed signs of extreme in= telligence. He found a way to tap the parts of the brain that most people d= on't/can't use. He can adapt to extreme temperatures, become virtually inde= structible, and fire blasts of fire from his hands. He entered the army and= is under Sgt. Boyle. He dressed in a stars/stripes uniform to stop some cr= iminals, and people confused him with the Shield, and he couldn't shake the= name anytime he went out to fight. (possibly changed to the Marvel?) He wa= s called "the second-rate Shield" or "Shield jr." (having more than one Shi= eld at the same time is confusing. We need to come up with something else f= or him). Swift, Rex - a secret service agent who was a master of disguises, Was a st= and-in for the president on many occasions. Web, the - John Raymond is a 17-year-old expert computer hacker, regarded a= s the best there is. So fluent is he at traveling through cyberspace that h= e is called "The Web." He has quite a reputation on the internet. No one kn= ows who "The Web" is, nor what he looks like, except for the Black Hood. He= is brought in to help track and locate super-heroes, and later becomes the= computer specialist of the Crusaders. West Pointer -=20 Wizard, the - Blaine Whitney was trained as a young child to have a photogr= aphic memory, and trained himself to mental perfection. He has a powerful m= ind, supersensory perception (can see events happening many, many miles awa= y), can mentally summon friends and send visions to them as well. He is tal= l, lanky, dark-haired, and handsome. His brother, Grover, is the chief of N= aval Intelligence, and routinely sends Blaine on missions of national impor= tance. Blaine has been around since just after the First Crusade. He is the= person who alerts Sen. Paul Patton to the impending danger that results in= the New Crusade. He works as publisher/editor of a newspaper, wears a tux = & domino mask, and is a valuable weapon for the New Crusade. Becomes a memb= er of the Crusaders. SECTION II: The back-story: There were heroes way back when, but about 30 years ago, they all seemed to= disappear. There were very few "new" heroes at the time, and those who did= appear didn't last very long. In reality, however, the heroes did remain a= ctive, but all of their efforts were concentrated on keeping the Brain Empe= ror (just Emperor) from taking over. He had taken mental control over all t= he super-villains of the time, as well as some of the super-heroes. The Emp= eror sent them around, trying to get them to eliminate the other heroes for= him. The Emperor was a patient sort. He took his time setting up the heroe= s and then trying to eliminate them one by one. The remaining heroes bonded= together as a makeshift team to fight off the Emperor.=20 They all had vowed to protect the lives of others, but that was a vow that = got broken during this, the Crusade. The events pushed them to a remote are= a of New Mexico. The heroes had pursued what they thought was all of the ba= d guys to this location. Too late they realized all was not right. They had= become caught in an ambush. There were only 14 heroes left in their group = to fight off all of the super-villains any of them had ever seen, as well a= s some of the super-heroes of the day--those under the control of the Emper= or.=20 The heroes had never actually seen the man behind the change in their allie= s. But what they did see was the zombie-like heroes, approaching alongside = the villains in one massive wave. Then they heard a booming, ethereal voice= above them, and saw the most imposing presence they had ever seen, that of= the Emperor. The voice said, "Now heroes.Now you die!" The bad guys and zombie good guys approached quickly. The fate of the count= ry and the world was at stake. Four of the remaining heroes--those who coul= d fly--took to the sky in an effort to take out the Emperor while the other= nine stayed and fought..trying as best they could not to injure their mind= less allies. Their zombie friends did not offer the same courtesy. The villains took a beating, but seemed to get up for more at each turn. Th= ey had been given a force-field of sorts around their bodies by the Emperor= . It became all too obvious a few moments later that the Emperor did not do= the same for the good guys he controlled. Three of the mind-controlled her= oes fell in a matter of seconds. More followed as the remaining forces for = good fought to keep the world free.=20 The heroes watched helplessly as some of their own number fell. The flying = heroes were trying in vain to get to the Emperor, but it was all for naught= . The ground heroes were surrounded, and in one last gasp they exerted all = the power they had to blow the enemies back. The remaining zombie good guys= came at the heroes with all their might. A loud explosion from the sky stu= nned them all. One by one the flying heroes fell to the ground, not dead, b= ut unable to move.=20 The Emperor landed on the ground. Doc Strong pushed the other heroes aside = and took out his gun. He slowly loaded one last bullet and walked towards t= he Emperor. The Emperor, amused, stopped all of his victims from advancing = any more. A couple of the heroes took the opportunity to knock out their mi= nd-controlled companions (to keep them from doing any more damage and to ke= ep them from having to hurt them).=20 Doc Strong stood eye-to-eye, toe-to-toe with the Emperor and said, "You wil= l never control me. You will never control any of us!" (pointing to the rem= aining heroes). "You have failed!" The Emperor grinned and touched Doc Strong on the head, causing Doc to scre= am out in pain. "I shall.I shall!" screamed the Emperor as he laughed. Doc Strong, through the pain, forced a triumphant grin. "Why do you smile?" demanded the Emperor. "Because you have lost!" Doc screamed. A shot rang out, and was followed by= a massive explosion. When the smoke cleared, there was a huge crater where= all of the supers had been standing. The villains had all disappeared, but= the heroes remained. Doc Strong's gun and uniform were found in the center= of the crater. (Doc Strong was holding his own against the Emperor, but used the gunshot t= o distract him long enough to sacrifice himself to defeat him) There were only 7 of the heroes still alive when the First Crusade ended. T= hey all retired after that. The Emperor was never seen again. SECTION III: The New Crusade: The Present A villain appears at a warehouse, walks in, closes the door, and then his f= ace goes blank. The next words out of his mouth were, "Yes, Emperor, I shal= l obey." He is the first of many super-villains who become pawns of the Emperor. The= super-villains seemingly vanish for a period of two months. This is the ca= lm before the storm. Roy and Dusty are among the first heroes to fall prey to the Emperor's spel= l. Kalthar and the Marvel are also taken. The Wizard's connection to Roy al= lows him to realize what is going on. By connecting his mind with Roy's, he= can see into the Emperor's mind momentarily. The Emperor realizes what's h= appening, and cuts off the Wizard's connection with Roy. The Wizard informs= the Senate Intelligence Committee about what he discovered, with only Sen.= Paul Patton (Fox) believing him. The Fox sets things in motion, and in order to keep history from repeating = itself, he begins to organize the active super-heroes into somewhat of a te= am before it any more of them are taken over. Steel Sterling joins up, but = is later taken over by the Emperor. The Emperor uses him as an unwitting sp= y in their midst. When the fight begins, Sterling is revealed to be one of = the zombies they have to fight. The Wizard realizes it and tries to get to = the Emperor through Sterling's mind, but to no avail. The only hope is for = the heroes to confront the Emperor as they did 30 years ago. In the end, the Marvel and Kalthar die. There is a long, drawn-out battle s= imilar to the one that occurred 30 years ago. The Wizard fights the Emperor= in battle of wills and of minds. It's a standoff, but then Mr. Justice app= ears. The Emperor fires an unexpected force blast at the Wizard, who is kno= cked out. Then he says, "Ah.Prince James.remember me?" Justice grimaced. He knew that the rebels that killed him almost a millenia= ago had seemed like zombies, but now he realized that it was the Emperor t= hat had control over them. Why he hadn't tried to take over the world back = then, only he knew, but he was, after all, a very patient sort.=20 Mr. Justice raised himself to meet the Emperor in the air. The fight contin= ued on the ground between friends and enemies. The Emperor smiled and said,= "I look forward to the challenge of killing you again!" Mr. Justice simply= looked at him and said, "Today is not the day of my defeat. It is the day = of yours!"=20 He reached out and touched the Emperor's head with his index finger. There = was a loud crack and a bright flash of light and then the loud thud when th= e Emperor's body hit the ground. Mr. Justice landed on the ground, and then= stood in a sad silence, seeing the dead heroes on the ground. "I'm sorry" = was all he could say, and then his disappeared in a mist of smoke.=20 The Emperor was not dead, but was little more than a vegetable. SECTION IV: Bad Guys: (Brain) Emperor, the - A seemingly ageless villain who has been around sinc= e at least the 11th century. A former wizard himself, he gave himself untol= d powers of the mind. He can fly - but mostly just hovers - can send mental= force blasts without even flinching, and can control people's thoughts and= actions. He was seemingly defeated during the First Crusade, but reappeare= d 30 years later. Black Hand, The - a rather imposing figure, the Black Hand is a former cham= pionship boxer who has taken over the crime syndicate in his city. He and h= is gang worked hard at blackmailing some of the rich and elite of the Bosto= n area, worked a protection racket, and beat up those who stood in his way.= (See Captain Flag entry). Fought against the heroes in the First Crusade. Hun, the - a Nazi-era super-powered villain. He was thought dead, but someh= ow reappeared during the First Crusade. He was a nemesis to any and all Ame= rican heroes. He was not seen or heard from after the conclusion of the Fir= st Crusade. Lavitto, "Lucky" - The major mob boss of Los Arenas. He also went by the na= me "The Glowing Man" at one point in time. He runs the most lucrative casin= o in town after its previous owner mysteriously died. He is constantly anno= yed by Black Jack getting in his way (See Black Jack entry). Has a robotic = suit that emits great heat, lazer blasts, and allows him to hover high in t= he air. Rattler, The - A circus snake charmer. He was the criminal partner of Twist= er and Inferno (see individual entries) for a time. Defeated by Steel Sterl= ing, the Rattler has vowed to do anything possible to hurt him; including p= oisoning those who are friendly with Steel. He uses charmed snakes to commi= t some of his crimes, such as stealing jewels and coins. Skull, The - The villain who framed the Kip Burland (see Black Hood entry).= He had a evil-looking green skull face. It is unsure if this was a mask or= somehow his actual face. He seemed to have a way of making others do his w= ill, but it's also unsure if this was a power, or if he was just a convinci= ng sort. Tried many times to kill the Black Hood, but never achieved his go= als. Still remains a thorn in Kip's side to this day. Fought the heroes in = the New Crusade. Sting - A flying villain who had an "electric touch." He had wings (like th= e Impact version of the Fly) as well as claw-tipped gloves. He was a freque= nt foe of the Black Hood, but also fought other heroes. Fought against the = heroes in the New Crusade. Twister - A circus "rubber man" who can contort his body into unthinkable p= ositions to get into tight places. He is a small-time crook who was a forme= r cohort of Inferno (see Inferno entry), and is now one of his arch-enemies= . Vulture - A "high-class" thief, or so he claims. He has a gang of cronies w= ho obey his every word, and they are compensated well for it. He focuses hi= s efforts on attaining rare paintings, coins, and illegal furs and pelts. H= e once destroyed a cruise ship after liberating the precious cargo from it = (see Dusty entry). He is notorious for letting his henchmen do the dirty wo= rk, and then he comes in at the last moment to go for the kill. Fought agai= nst the heroes in the New Crusade. ------=_NextPart_000_00CA_01C41F10.7FC68170 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
To all,
 
Some knew about this as it was going on, b= ut most=20 didn't.  I spoke with Chuck Grimes (CEO of Archie Entertainment) = and=20 he asked me to work up a proposal for a new Mighty Crusaders comic.  I= had=20 been put in contact with him by a third party who knew of my devotion to th= e=20 characters (anyone remember MightyMLJ.com?  that was me).  Anyway= ,=20 Roland Mann (writer-The Protectors--Malibu Comics as well as some Ultravers= e=20 titles) and I worked together on some ideas based on this proposal, but we = later=20 discovered that Chuck was not interested in following up on any Mighty Crus= aders=20 books until he could "get a deal done in Hollywood" with the=20 characters.
 
So, the proposal was pretty much completed= , and=20 Roland was even working on the first 6-issue story arc when we found out th= e=20 project was out of luck. 
 
For those who are interested, here is the = 9-page=20 preliminary proposal I had come up with.
 
You might want to print it out for easier= =20 reading.

Section I: Characters

The Good Guys:

Black Hood - Officer Kip Burland was framed for a jewel heist and for ki= lling=20 his partner by the criminal mastermind known as the Skull. Burland was knoc= ked=20 out and part of the gems were on his person, as well as the murder weapon. = Kip=20 was suspended and arrested for the murder. After making bail, Burland went = out=20 after the Skull on his own. He was shot and then left in the forest for dea= d by=20 the Skull=92s goons. An old man found him and nursed him back to health. Th= e man=20 gave him an old black hood and told him that for centuries men and women ha= ve=20 fought evil by wearing the hood. Kip accepted the gift, and returned to tow= n as=20 the Black Hood, and brought the Skull to justice, and cleared his own name.= Many=20 on the force still remained suspicious of him, and he eventually quit to st= art=20 his own private eye business. He has been invaluable to the Shield and Sena= tor=20 Paul Patton in finding information. He assists with the New Crusade by, alo= ng=20 with the Web, tracking down the secret identities of most of the active=20 super-heroes. He does not join the Crusaders as a regular member, but is=20 available when needed.

Black Jack - Jack Jones is a good, honest cop who is nicknamed "blackjac= k"=20 because he spends much of the time playing blackjack instead of working on = his=20 reports. He=92s athletic, a former high school gymnast. He and his partner = are set=20 up by a third cop and betrayed to "Lucky" Lavitto, the local mob boss in Lo= s=20 Arenas. Jack had broken up a couple of Lucky=92s rackets, and therefore got= on his=20 bad side. He and his partner are knocked out and put in a room which is the= n=20 cemented over. Jack wakes up, uses the Jack of Spades to dig an air hole in= the=20 wet cement, and waits to be rescued. He took the costumed appearance of Bla= ck=20 Jack and brought the bad guys--and the crocked cop--to justice. He joins up= in=20 the New Crusade, and is a part-time Crusader afterwards.

Bob Phantom - Walt Whitney is a newspaper columnist (perhaps a T.V. repo= rter=20 instead). He is an egomaniac who routinely reports on how Bob Phantom saves= the=20 day and how the police chief and the D.A. didn=92t, much to their chagrin. = He=20 appears and disappears in a cloud of smoke (smoke pellets), and is in top=20 physical condition. No origin was ever given in the MLJ books, but one will= be=20 created at a later date if needed. He always looks to be in the spotlight, = but=20 can=92t seem to get Bob Phantom=92s name any national recognition. He joins= up with=20 the New Crusade as much for the notoriety it would bring as for wanting to = help.=20 He desires to join the Crusaders full-time, but only becomes a reserve=20 member.

Boyle, Sgt. - The immediate superior of Lancelot Strong.

Captain Commando - John Grayson, now retired, was a covert commando agen= t.=20 Most knew him as a pacifist in his secret identity. He is one of the "old=20 school" heroes who fought in the First Crusade. He is currently in his mid-= 50s.=20 He is brought out of a self-imposed retirement by Senator Paul Patton to he= lp=20 with leading the impending New Crusade. After its completion, he goes back = to=20 being retired.

Captain Flag - Tom Townsend, son of a high-class Boston businessman. His= =20 family is =91old blood,=92 one who=92s wealth has been in their family for= =20 generations. His father has some questionable business partners, and they g= et on=20 the wrong side of a bad guy known as "The Black Hand." They tell the Hand t= hat=20 Tom=92s father is the one who double-crossed him. The Black Hand and his he= nchmen=20 kidnapped Tom and his father, and left tem to dies in the middle of nowhere= .=20 (the mother is not in the picture, perhaps divorced?) The dad dies from his= =20 injuries, but Tom is rescued by an enormous eagle who nurses him back to he= alth.=20 The eagle later appears clutching a tattered American flag. Tom had been pr= aying=20 for a sign as to what would happen, and he took this as the sign he was wai= ting=20 for. He made his way back to civilization and created his Captain Flag pers= ona.=20 He thwarted the Black Hand=92s efforts all over the city and had a big show= down at=20 Townsend manor, which had been taken as the Black Hand=92s new hideout, and= =20 emerges victorious. He uses his money to help those in need, and opens his = house=20 to be a home for orphaned boys. He joins was among the "old school" heroes,= and=20 remains retired after the First Crusade.

He quickly rises in rank, and then retires. He moves back = to=20 the USA and serves as an advisor to 3 presidents. He is called back in to h= elp=20 as a tactical expert by Captain Commando in the New Crusade. The two had wo= rked=20 together before in France.

Comet - John Dickering is a geeky scientist who discovers a formula that= =20 allows him to fly when he drinks it. The effects only last a limited amount= of=20 time, so he drinks more. Eventually, the effects become permanent. The side= =20 effect, however, is that his eyes now fire disintegrating blasts. After the= =20 beams finally subsided, the only things left intact were some red glass tub= es.=20 He formed a visor of the same material so that he could regulate the beams.= He=20 eventually learned to control them. He created a "comet" costume to conceal= his=20 identity while doing his "joyriding" (flying). He was hypnotized by some ba= d=20 guys on one of his first excursions, and robbed 4 banks, and ended up killi= ng a=20 couple security guards while under the hypnosis. When he finally snapped ou= t of=20 it, he turned in the hypnotist and his cronies, but was still considered an= =20 outlaw. He continues on as a hero to try and show he=92s not a bad guy, whi= ch is a=20 seemingly endless task. He=92s always trying to "make it up" to the people = for the=20 evils he did. He jumps at the chance to join the New Crusade, and becomes a= =20 cornerstone member of the Crusaders.

"Devil=92s Twins" - Tim and Tom Shane are twins in the armed forces who= =20 routinely disobey orders and somehow always end up stumbling on to somethin= g=20 that keeps them out of trouble. Both are after the affection of the same gi= rl.=20 They are in the same outfit as Lancelot Strong.

Doc Strong - A popular comic book and movie character who is the subject= of=20 constant debate: Did he ever really exist? He did indeed exist, and was the= =20 first of the super-heroes. When many more burst on the scene, Doc retired a= nd=20 left it to the younger crowd, himself already in his 40s. He was only activ= e for=20 a few months, and no one really knew what his powers/abilities were. He had= =20 incredible mental abilities/powers, and came out of retirement to fight in = the=20 First Crusade. The legend of Doc Strong has grown until he is now seen as a= =20 Flash Gordon type of character. Died fighting in the First Crusade.

Dusty - Richard "Dusty" Stevens is a 14-year old whose parents die when = The=20 Vulture destroys a cruise ship after stealing millions of dollars in painti= ngs=20 it was transporting. Dusty is one of the few survivors, and he vows revenge= =20 against the person who caused his parent=92s death. He emulates the Shield = and=20 crafts a costume that is similar to it. He ends up meeting the Shield when = one=20 of his cases brings him to town to fight the Vulture. The Shield, being=20 impressed with what he saw from the boy, took him on as a sidekick for a wh= ile.=20 After taking down the Vulture, The Shield convinces Dusty to join a militar= y=20 school. The Shield redoes Dusty=92s costume with better material. Dusty is = one of=20 the "prisoners" during the New Crusade.

Fireball - Ted Tyler is a volunteer fireman who gets caught in a chemica= l=20 warehouse that is on fire thanks to an arsonist. He somehow survives when t= he=20 warehouse explodes, and he is covered in chemicals. Afterwards, he discover= s he=20 can increase his body heat so much that he can start fires by snapping his= =20 fingers, melt bullets upon contact, and can absorb heat from objects (perha= ps=20 even including fire itself=85just thought). He=92s short (5=92 6"), but sto= ut. He is=20 dating the Fire Chief=92s daughter, and hopes to be brought on as a full-ti= me=20 fireman. One of his weapons is using random garbage, setting it on fire wit= h his=20 touch, and hurling them at the bad guys. He helps out with the New Crusade,= but=20 shows little interest in joining full time when it was offered.

Firefly - Harley Hudson was a lab assistant at a local university for=20 world-renowned scientist William Hudsworth. He was a somewhat nonchalant=20 assistant, but the assistant nonetheless. Hudsworth had discovered a formul= a=20 that would give himself the powers of some of the insect kingdom. Criminals= =20 broke into the lab to kidnap him and hold him for ransom, but in the melee,= he=20 is shot and killed. To keep the formula out of any bad guys hands, Harley d= rinks=20 it, not knowing to what extent it would work. He learned he could become=20 blindingly bright (like a firefly), and also could jump long distances (lik= e a=20 grasshopper) and other powers could manifest themselves later. He=92s not m= uch of=20 a detective, and it takes him over two years to track down the guys who kil= led=20 the professor. He is easily recruited to join the New Crusade because he "h= as=20 nothing better to do." He=92s currently unemployed.

Fly, the - Tommy Troy goes to live with his oddball uncle after his pare= nts=20 die in a car crash. After moving into his room, he finds a ring on the floo= r. It=20 had a stylized fly on it. Curious, he put it on. As he did, his mind was fi= lled=20 with images of an odd-looking super-hero. Tommy looked in the mirror and=20 realizes that he IS that super-hero. He hurriedly removes the ring, and cha= nges=20 back to his old self. Almost immediately after removing the ring, his uncle= =20 walked in and said, "Did it work?" "Tommy said, "Did what work?" "The ring,= "=20 replied the uncle, "We=92ve been waiting for you, Tommy. We have been waiti= ng for=20 the one who could make the ring work again. It=92s been in the Troy family = for 17=20 generations, waiting for the heir who is pure enough to make it work. So, d= id it=20 work? Did you become They Fly?" "uh-huh." Tommy joined up in the New Crusad= e and=20 becomes a core member of the Crusaders.

Fox, the - Paul Patton was a football player at Penn State who was injur= ed=20 and lost his scholarship. He finished his education, eventually gaining an= =20 academic scholarship. When he returned home, he became active in the politi= cal=20 arena, and worked as a photographer at the local newspaper, The Globe. He s= aw=20 and took pictures of companies dumping medical waste into the river, and we= nt=20 after the people responsible as "The Fox." He was very socially active, and= =20 routinely exposed corporate crime. He rarely fought petty criminals, and ne= ver=20 really had an arch-enemy, but he did have some nationally publicized advent= ures=20 that included saving the president from assassination and thwarting a suici= de=20 bomber in New York City. He gave up the super-hero gig after blowing out bo= th=20 his knees jumping from a burning building, and went into politics full-time= . He=20 is the senior senator from Wyoming, and a very vocal lawmaker who isn=92t a= fraid=20 to speak his mind. He is a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. He = is=20 also the foremost expert on super-human activity. As a member of the S.I.C.= , he=20 hears a report about something major going on. The other members of the=20 committee dismiss the report, but Patton knows better, as the information c= omes=20 from Blaine Whitney, AKA the Wizard. Knowing the history of the First Crusa= de,=20 he knows how serious the report is. He is the one that sets the New Crusade= into=20 motion.

Green Falcon - ???

Hangman - Bob Dickering, older brother of John Dickering--The Comet--use= s a=20 hangman=92s noose like a lasso to capture villains. He scares them into adm= itting=20 their crimes and therefore becoming their own hangman. (not sure if the Han= gman=20 is a viable character name for an Archie Comics project).

Hercules - A circus strongman who takes on petty criminals in the cities= his=20 circus travels to. He befriended some of the old heroes and was part of the= =20 First Crusade. Died in the final battle.

Inferno - also called "The Fire-Breather" was a circus performer who, wi= th=20 the "rubber man" known as Twister and the snake-charmer known as The Rattle= r,=20 robbed jewelry stores during their stops in big cities. They were captured = by=20 Steel Sterling, and put in jail. He apparently went straight while in jail.= =20 Twister and Rattler planned to escape and kill the judge that put them away= , and=20 then were going after Steel Sterling. Inferno escaped first, went to the ju= dge=92s=20 house and warned him. Steel Sterling is called, and is there when Rattler a= nd=20 Twister show up. Both Sterling and the judge agree that Inferno has probabl= y=20 gone straight, and they allow him to go free, although he=92s still conside= red an=20 escaped convict. He can blow flames from his mouth which can melt steel doo= rs,=20 and could melt guns from a 10-foot distance. Steel Sterling trusts him=20 completely, but many of the other heroes are not so sure. Inferno is one of= the=20 zombies of the New Crusade, which bolsters the distrust.

Jaguar - Raphael "Ralph" Hardy was a rich latin-American playboy who thr= ew=20 himself headfirst into any hobby he happened to become interested in at any= =20 given time. He got interested in archeology and so he financed an archeolog= ical=20 dig in Central America where he also participated. They discover a tomb ins= ide=20 an old Incan temple. Ralph touches the odd belt that is on the corpse, and= =20 suddenly realizes that is has somehow appeared around his own waist. It giv= es=20 him the powers to communicate with animals, as well as gives them some of t= heir=20 attributes (smell, tracking ability, speed, leaping). He joins the Crusade,= but=20 disappears after it is over. He fights to help the animal kingdom.

Kalthar - Kalvin Tharios is a man who has the ability to increase his he= ight=20 to 15 feet, and can shrink back to normal size by thought. He is a new hero= ,=20 only being active for a year. He has no other powers, and becomes a casualt= y of=20 the New Crusade.

Marvel, the - He is a mysterious man who appeared in public once to resc= ue=20 "Scoop" Cody from being gunned down by mob boss "King" Carr. The Marvel the= n=20 helps Cody track the boss down and turned him in to the police. Perhaps is = a=20 second identity for a different hero? Dies during the New Crusade.

Mr. Justice - Prince James of England is killed in 1040 AD by Scottish r= ebels=20 while in his castle. His spirit, however, remained in the castle and killed= his=20 attackers. His spirit is trapped and doomed to roam forever in the abandone= d=20 walls of the castle. Almost 1000 years later, an American oil man buys the= =20 castle and has it taken apart and moved to America to be rebuilt. The boat= =20 mysteriously sinks near the US coastline, but the spirit of Prince James is= =20 released. Being a ghost, his powers are almost limitless, and continuously= =20 unknown. He fights to ensure that others will not meet the same fate that h= e did=20 (murdered). He has helped other heroes before, but no one knows how to get = a=20 hold of him. He involves himself in the New Crusade, but then disappears=20 again.

Mr. Satin - (based upon character Mr. Satan, but that name is not one th= at=20 should go with a heroic character) Dudley Bradshaw was a "hero for hire" wi= th a=20 purple costume and a yellow cape. He would advertise in the local paper, as= well=20 as on television for people needing his services. He retired after the Firs= t=20 Crusade. Whereabouts unknown.

Press Guardian - (This character was originally the Falcon: Press Guardi= an).=20 He originally fought off people trying to take over his father=92s newspape= r, the=20 Daily Express, wearing a white costume with a golden feathery cape. He enjo= yed=20 the rush he got, and decided to continue fighting for those who could not d= efend=20 themselves. But he got a bit more practical and switched to a green suit/fe= dora=20 and a red mask. He then just went by the Falcon (which is a cooler name tha= n the=20 Press Guardian). He was strong in fight and willpower, which made up for hi= s=20 lack of size (5=92 10", 150 lbs). He wore a bullet-proof vest under his sui= t. He=20 had no reservations about writing about the bad guys he discovered in the=20 newspaper. He would name names before the police even became involved in th= e=20 investigation.

Any injuries incurred while Red Rube carries over when he cha= nges=20 to Rueben. He becomes Red Rube by calling out "Hey Rube!" He was actively=20 pursued for inclusion in the Crusade, but he was almost impossible to find = him=20 (after all, you wouldn=92t look for a 10-year-old to find a 20=92s-ish hero= ). He was=20 tracked down while he was in action, and he jumped at the chance to join th= e New=20 Crusade because he idolized the super-heroes and desperately wanted to spen= d=20 time with them.

Roy - the "super-boy" was a self-imposed sidekick to the Wizard. The Wiz= ard=20 discovered a paperboy being picked on by some bullies, so he went over and= =20 scared them off. Roy instantly took on a persona as "The Super-Boy" and see= med=20 to show up wherever the Wizard did. The Wizard finally relented and took hi= m on=20 as a sidekick, no so much as to have help, but to save Roy from himself. Th= e=20 Shield convinced the Wizard to have Roy entered into the military school wh= ere=20 Dusty was attending. The two teamed up as the Boy Buddies while there. A zo= mbie=20 of the New Crusade.

Scarlet Avenger - Jim Kendall was on a plane hijacked because of the gol= d=20 bars it was transporting. There was a fight for control of the plane, and i= t=20 crashed into a lake. Jim=92s wife and kids died in the flight, and Jim was = the=20 only survivor. The crash caused serious muscle damage in his face, and he w= as=20 nicknamed "The Man who Never Smiles" because he no longer has the ability t= o=20 even grin. He is a scientific genius and creates a steel mesh cloak=20 (bulletproof), a video portable phone, an electric car, and a hypnotizing=20 machine. His emblem is a flaming arrow. He was one of the survivors of the = First=20 Crusade, and then retired. He was recruited to the New Crusade for his=20 scientific knowledge.

Shield I - Joe Higgins=92s father was a government scientist who makes a= n=20 amazing discovery, but before he can reveal it, he was killed. Treason was= =20 suspected, and Mr. Higgins was labeled a traitor. The only thing he ever=20 revealed of it was to Joe. He told him the acronym SHIELD. Joe devoted hims= elf=20 to clearing his father=92s name. He dedicated himself to studying, and grad= uated=20 college with honors in 3 years. He then aced the FBI entrance exam at the a= ge of=20 24. He finds his father=92s notes and complete=92 his work, and uses the SH= IELD=20 formula and suit to fight crime and represent the values of America. The fo= rmula=20 gave him great strength, near invulnerability, and enhanced senses. He is a= n=20 unwavering patriot and becomes a good friend to Sen. Paul Patton. Patton ga= ve=20 advise to Higgins throughout the years. The Shield is the premiere super-he= ro,=20 and leads the New Crusade. He also is the leader of the Crusaders once it i= s=20 formed.

Shield II - Son of Joe Higgins ---not being used at this time---

He=92s the last true= boy=20 scout. One night he had a dream that he was in a big city and that he found= an=20 industrial area. He then dreamt that he dove into a vat of molten steel. Wh= en he=20 awoke, he was back home, still in bed, but he had become completely=20 invulnerable. He reasoned that he must have properties of steel, so he crea= ted=20 an electromagnetic belt that can turn him into one big magnet. He freely jo= ins=20 the New Crusade, and then goes back to high school. He plans on either join= ing=20 the military or the Crusaders upon graduation.

Strong, Lancelot - From the time he was born, he showed signs of extreme= =20 intelligence. He found a way to tap the parts of the brain that most people= =20 don=92t/can=92t use. He can adapt to extreme temperatures, become virtually= =20 indestructible, and fire blasts of fire from his hands. He entered the army= and=20 is under Sgt. Boyle. He dressed in a stars/stripes uniform to stop some=20 criminals, and people confused him with the Shield, and he couldn=92t shake= the=20 name anytime he went out to fight. (possibly changed to the Marvel?) He was= =20 called "the second-rate Shield" or "Shield jr." (having more than one Shiel= d at=20 the same time is confusing. We need to come up with something else for him)= .

SECTION II:

The back-story:

There were heroes way back when, but about 30 years ago, they all seemed= to=20 disappear. There were very few "new" heroes at the time, and those who did= =20 appear didn=92t last very long. In reality, however, the heroes did remain = active,=20 but all of their efforts were concentrated on keeping the Brain Emperor (ju= st=20 Emperor) from taking over. He had taken mental control over all the=20 super-villains of the time, as well as some of the super-heroes. The Empero= r=20 sent them around, trying to get them to eliminate the other heroes for him.= The=20 Emperor was a patient sort. He took his time setting up the heroes and then= =20 trying to eliminate them one by one. The remaining heroes bonded together a= s a=20 makeshift team to fight off the Emperor.

They all had vowed to protect the lives of others, but that was a vow th= at=20 got broken during this, the Crusade. The events pushed them to a remote are= a of=20 New Mexico. The heroes had pursued what they thought was all of the bad guy= s to=20 this location. Too late they realized all was not right. They had become ca= ught=20 in an ambush. There were only 14 heroes left in their group to fight off al= l of=20 the super-villains any of them had ever seen, as well as some of the=20 super-heroes of the day--those under the control of the Emperor.

The heroes had never actually seen the man behind the change in their al= lies.=20 But what they did see was the zombie-like heroes, approaching alongside the= =20 villains in one massive wave. Then they heard a booming, ethereal voice abo= ve=20 them, and saw the most imposing presence they had ever seen, that of the=20 Emperor. The voice said, "Now heroes=85Now you die!"

The bad guys and zombie good guys approached quickly. The fate of the co= untry=20 and the world was at stake. Four of the remaining heroes--those who could=20 fly--took to the sky in an effort to take out the Emperor while the other n= ine=20 stayed and fought=85.trying as best they could not to injure their mindless= =20 allies. Their zombie friends did not offer the same courtesy.

The villains took a beating, but seemed to get up for more at each turn.= They=20 had been given a force-field of sorts around their bodies by the Emperor. I= t=20 became all too obvious a few moments later that the Emperor did not do the = same=20 for the good guys he controlled. Three of the mind-controlled heroes fell i= n a=20 matter of seconds. More followed as the remaining forces for good fought to= keep=20 the world free.

The heroes watched helplessly as some of their own number fell. The flyi= ng=20 heroes were trying in vain to get to the Emperor, but it was all for naught= . The=20 ground heroes were surrounded, and in one last gasp they exerted all the po= wer=20 they had to blow the enemies back. The remaining zombie good guys came at t= he=20 heroes with all their might. A loud explosion from the sky stunned them all= . One=20 by one the flying heroes fell to the ground, not dead, but unable to move. =

The Emperor landed on the ground. Doc Strong pushed the other heroes asi= de=20 and took out his gun. He slowly loaded one last bullet and walked towards t= he=20 Emperor. The Emperor, amused, stopped all of his victims from advancing any= =20 more. A couple of the heroes took the opportunity to knock out their=20 mind-controlled companions (to keep them from doing any more damage and to = keep=20 them from having to hurt them).

Doc Strong stood eye-to-eye, toe-to-toe with the Emperor and said, "You = will=20 never control me. You will never control any of us!" (pointing to the remai= ning=20 heroes). "You have failed!"

The Emperor grinned and touched Doc Strong on the head, causing Doc to s= cream=20 out in pain. "I shall=85I shall!" screamed the Emperor as he laughed.

Doc Strong, through the pain, forced a triumphant grin.

"Why do you smile?" demanded the Emperor.

"Because you have lost!" Doc screamed. A shot rang out, and was followed= by a=20 massive explosion. When the smoke cleared, there was a huge crater where al= l of=20 the supers had been standing. The villains had all disappeared, but the her= oes=20 remained. Doc Strong=92s gun and uniform were found in the center of the=20 crater.

(Doc Strong was holding his own against the Emperor, but used the gunsho= t to=20 distract him long enough to sacrifice himself to defeat him)

There were only 7 of the heroes still alive when the First Crusade ended= .=20 They all retired after that.

The Emperor was never seen again=85

SECTION III:

The New Crusade: The Present

A villain appears at a warehouse, walks in, closes the door, and then hi= s=20 face goes blank. The next words out of his mouth were, "Yes, Emperor, I sha= ll=20 obey."

He is the first of many super-villains who become pawns of the Emperor. = The=20 super-villains seemingly vanish for a period of two months. This is the cal= m=20 before the storm.

Roy and Dusty are among the first heroes to fall prey to the Emperor=92s= spell.=20 Kalthar and the Marvel are also taken. The Wizard=92s connection to Roy all= ows him=20 to realize what is going on. By connecting his mind with Roy=92s, he can se= e into=20 the Emperor=92s mind momentarily. The Emperor realizes what=92s happening, = and cuts=20 off the Wizard=92s connection with Roy. The Wizard informs the Senate Intel= ligence=20 Committee about what he discovered, with only Sen. Paul Patton (Fox) believ= ing=20 him.

The Fox sets things in motion, and in order to keep history from repeati= ng=20 itself, he begins to organize the active super-heroes into somewhat of a te= am=20 before it any more of them are taken over. Steel Sterling joins up, but is = later=20 taken over by the Emperor. The Emperor uses him as an unwitting spy in thei= r=20 midst. When the fight begins, Sterling is revealed to be one of the zombies= they=20 have to fight. The Wizard realizes it and tries to get to the Emperor throu= gh=20 Sterling=92s mind, but to no avail. The only hope is for the heroes to conf= ront=20 the Emperor as they did 30 years ago.

In the end, the Marvel and Kalthar die. There is a long, drawn-out battl= e=20 similar to the one that occurred 30 years ago. The Wizard fights the Empero= r in=20 battle of wills and of minds. It=92s a standoff, but then Mr. Justice appea= rs. The=20 Emperor fires an unexpected force blast at the Wizard, who is knocked out. = Then=20 he says, "Ah=85Prince James=85remember me?"

Justice grimaced. He knew that the rebels that killed him almost a mille= nia=20 ago had seemed like zombies, but now he realized that it was the Emperor th= at=20 had control over them. Why he hadn=92t tried to take over the world back th= en,=20 only he knew, but he was, after all, a very patient sort.

Mr. Justice raised himself to meet the Emperor in the air. The fight=20 continued on the ground between friends and enemies. The Emperor smiled and= =20 said, "I look forward to the challenge of killing you again!" Mr. Justice s= imply=20 looked at him and said, "Today is not the day of my defeat. It is the day o= f=20 yours!"

He reached out and touched the Emperor=92s head with his index finger. T= here=20 was a loud crack and a bright flash of light and then the loud thud when th= e=20 Emperor=92s body hit the ground. Mr. Justice landed on the ground, and then= stood=20 in a sad silence, seeing the dead heroes on the ground. "I=92m sorry" was a= ll he=20 could say, and then his disappeared in a mist of smoke.

The Emperor was not dead, but was little more than a vegetable.

SECTION IV:

Bad Guys:

(Brain) Emperor, the - A seemingly ageless villain who has been around s= ince=20 at least the 11th century. A former wizard himself, he = gave=20 himself untold powers of the mind. He can fly - but mostly just hovers - ca= n=20 send mental force blasts without even flinching, and can control people=92s= =20 thoughts and actions. He was seemingly defeated during the First Crusade, b= ut=20 reappeared 30 years later.

Black Hand, The - a rather imposing figure, the Black Han= d is a=20 former championship boxer who has taken over the crime syndicate in his cit= y. He=20 and his gang worked hard at blackmailing some of the rich and elite of the= =20 Boston area, worked a protection racket, and beat up those who stood in his= way.=20 (See Captain Flag entry). Fought against the heroes in the First=20 Crusade.

Hun, the - a Nazi-era super-powered villain. He was thoug= ht=20 dead, but somehow reappeared during the First Crusade. He was a nemesis to = any=20 and all American heroes. He was not seen or heard from after the conclusion= of=20 the First Crusade.

Lavitto, "Lucky" - The major mob boss of Los Arenas. He a= lso=20 went by the name "The Glowing Man" at one point in time. He runs the most=20 lucrative casino in town after its previous owner mysteriously died. He is= =20 constantly annoyed by Black Jack getting in his way (See Black Jack entry).= Has=20 a robotic suit that emits great heat, lazer blasts, and allows him to hover= high=20 in the air.

Rattler, The - A circus snake charmer. He was the crimina= l=20 partner of Twister and Inferno (see individual entries) for a time. Defeate= d by=20 Steel Sterling, the Rattler has vowed to do anything possible to hurt him;= =20 including poisoning those who are friendly with Steel. He uses charmed snak= es to=20 commit some of his crimes, such as stealing jewels and coins.

Skull, The - The villain who framed the Kip Burland (see = Black=20 Hood entry). He had a evil-looking green skull face. It is unsure if this w= as a=20 mask or somehow his actual face. He seemed to have a way of making others d= o his=20 will, but it=92s also unsure if this was a power, or if he was just a convi= ncing=20 sort=85 Tried many times to kill the Black Hood, but never achieved his goa= ls.=20 Still remains a thorn in Kip=92s side to this day. Fought the heroes in the= New=20 Crusade.

Sting - A flying villain who had an "electric touch." He = had=20 wings (like the Impact version of the Fly) as well as claw-tipped gloves. H= e was=20 a frequent foe of the Black Hood, but also fought other heroes. Fought agai= nst=20 the heroes in the New Crusade.

Twister - A circus "rubber man" who can contort his body = into=20 unthinkable positions to get into tight places. He is a small-time crook wh= o was=20 a former cohort of Inferno (see Inferno entry), and is now one of his=20 arch-enemies.

Vulture - A "high-class" thief, or so he claims. He has a= gang=20 of cronies who obey his every word, and they are compensated well for it. H= e=20 focuses his efforts on attaining rare paintings, coins, and illegal furs an= d=20 pelts. He once destroyed a cruise ship after liberating the precious cargo = from=20 it (see Dusty entry). He is notorious for letting his henchmen do the dirty= =20 work, and then he comes in at the last moment to go for the kill. Fought ag= ainst=20 the heroes in the New=20 Crusade.

SOAR TO ADVENTURO= US HEIGHTS WITH THE FLY!

 

 

The 1950's were a major turning point in the history of comic bo= oks. The superheroes that had ruled the newsstands during the industry's "g= olden age" decade of the 1940's had fallen by the wayside, replaced in popu= larity by western, war, horror, and humor comics. As the decade drew t= o a dose, that all would change as publishers found ways to revive and= revamp the heroes of old. This revival care to be known as the Silver Age.=

 

Many have beard of the origins of the Silver Age, but did you kn= ow that Archie Conic was a major part of the revival? Having had a successf= ul line of superhero comics in the 1940's (published under the MLJ imp= rint), Archie Comics once again threw their hat into the ring, coming = up with a brand new hero who is fondly remembered to this day: THE FLY= !

 

Copies of the first four issues of "The FLY" would set many= a collector back financially, but now you can read the Fly's formative adv= entures in a brand new trade paperback, THE ADVENTURES Of THE FLY, the late= st entry in the RED CIRCLE reprint series!

 

To show how serious they were about getting back into the superh= ero business, Archie hired the already legendary team of Joe= Simon and Jack Kirby to do what they do best: write and draw awe-insp= iring superhero comics! The result was a superhero ahead of, his time. The = Fly had a youthful alter ego, the proportionate strength of a creepy c= rawler, the ability to walk  on walls, and a special "sixth sense" tha= t warned him of impending danger. Sound like anyone yon know? The fact= is, The Fly actually beat the friendly neighborhood webslinger to the= comic racks by three years! He's also considered an influence on othe= r insect-inspired heroes, like Ant-Man and the Wasp.

 

Read how it all began in this historic edition: Tommy Troy = is a young boy whose world is turned upside down when he meets an= emissary of the Fly World and is given a special ring that magically = transforms him into the superhuman FLY!  Along with Simon an= d Kirby, the Fly's earliest adventures were charted by some of th= e most legendary creative talent in comics, including Jack Davis and Al Wil= liamson! All of these artists and more are featured in this special edition= that collects titanic tales from 1959 and 1960. Features a cover by fan-fa= vorite Joe Stanton, painstaking restorations of all stories, faithful recol= oring and a forward by Joe Simon.

SOAR TO ADVENTURO= US HEIGHTS WITH THE FLY!

 

 

The 1950's were a major turning point in the history of comic bo= oks. The superheroes that had ruled the newsstands during the industry's "g= olden age" decade of the 1940's had fallen by the wayside, replaced in popu= larity by western, war, horror, and humor comics. As the decade drew t= o a dose, that all would change as publishers found ways to revive and= revamp the heroes of old. This revival care to be known as the Silver Age.=

 

Many have beard of the origins of the Silver Age, but did you kn= ow that Archie Conic was a major part of the revival? Having had a successf= ul line of superhero comics in the 1940's (published under the MLJ imp= rint), Archie Comics once again threw their hat into the ring, coming = up with a brand new hero who is fondly remembered to this day: THE FLY= !

 

Copies of the first four issues of "The FLY" would set many= a collector back financially, but now you can read the Fly's formative adv= entures in a brand new trade paperback, THE ADVENTURES Of THE FLY, the late= st entry in the RED CIRCLE reprint series!

 

To show how serious they were about getting back into the superh= ero business, Archie hired the already legendary team of Joe= Simon and Jack Kirby to do what they do best: write and draw awe-insp= iring superhero comics! The result was a superhero ahead of, his time. The = Fly had a youthful alter ego, the proportionate strength of a creepy c= rawler, the ability to walk  on walls, and a special "sixth sense" tha= t warned him of impending danger. Sound like anyone yon know? The fact= is, The Fly actually beat the friendly neighborhood webslinger to the= comic racks by three years! He's also considered an influence on othe= r insect-inspired heroes, like Ant-Man and the Wasp.

 

Read how it all began in this historic edition: Tommy Troy = is a young boy whose world is turned upside down when he meets an= emissary of the Fly World and is given a special ring that magically = transforms him into the superhuman FLY!  Along with Simon an= d Kirby, the Fly's earliest adventures were charted by some of th= e most legendary creative talent in comics, including Jack Davis and Al Wil= liamson! All of these artists and more are featured in this special edition= that collects titanic tales from 1959 and 1960. Features a cover by fan-fa= vorite Joe Stanton, painstaking restorations of all stories, faithful recol= oring and a forward by Joe Simon.

 

ADVENTURES OF THE FLY, ships 10/6.

96-page, full color trade paperback, $12.95 US.

SCRIPT AND ART: Joe Simon, Jack Kirby, Jack Davis, Al Willi= amson and various talent. Cover by Joe Stanton.

Thurston Bowden has provided scans of both Archie Comics #1 and Super Comics #2. Stories include Shield, Black Hood, Hangman and Archie. Canadian Whites were historically interesting because they are not reprints by are redrawn. During World War II it was illegal to import American comics into Canada so they had to be redrawn by Canada artists.

Tony,
 
I love that site, Darrin and Richard are great guys.
Darrin's micro heroes are included on the Mighty Crusader's site and
Richard told me I could find any help I need with the Handbook on = ;his site
and I even contributed an article to their site as well.
 
With the Handbook I an trying to include more then the Golden Age Hero= es, I am trying to do a Marvel Handbook/Who's Who in the DC Universe for th= e MLJ heroes. The basic origins used on the Handbook came from Scott's old = web site
http= ://www.geocities.com/mightycrusadershandbook.html before becoming = part of the Mighty Crusaders Network
 
In fact things are moving along well,
we switched formats last week to avoid some of the blank spaces
Kelso finished The Golden Age Hangman and started on the Wizard
There are only 10 heroes without biographers (including the Comet)
Here is how things stand so far...

Any fan of comic strip/book adventure art surely knows the work of Dave Cockrum. In my youth he was one of the first fans to make it to the BIG TIME with a style of art and storytelling one doesn't see very often anymore. I will remember him as breathing new life into Superboy and the Legion of Super Heores and for being the artist on the "New" X-Men. He also was the artist on Captain Marvel Jr. stories in the Shazam! revival of the 1970's. He was a perfect choice to inherit the Mac Raboy feature. According to the Heritage Comics Auction site he is ill from complications from diabetes and in financial trouble due to being a freelance artist and unable to get health insurance. Below is the pitch for a tribute book being published to benefit Dave and his family. Heritage will also be auctioning the original art from the book. The benefit book is being coordinated by Neal Adams among others. If you ever were fortunate enough to meet Dave you know him as generous and real. He always had tiome for fans and would sit at conventions and sketch and draw characters by request for hours AT NO CHARGE! Ah, a different time indeed! Now it's time for fandom to repay that genorousity. Please consider buying the benefit book. You will be helping a talented storyteller of the sequential art and a nice man to boot! Thank you. The Uncanny Dave Cockrum Tribute As you may know, Dave Cockrum has been very ill and his friends are putting togethera tribute book and auction to help Dave and his wife Paty. THE UNCANNY DAVE COCKRUM TRIBUTE includes a parade of industry legends who have donated unpublished art and new writings.

I would have liked nothing better than to spend my p= aper-route money when I was 14 on copies of movies I could watch any time I= wanted to at home on my own TV set, but that was pure fantasy in 1966.

Some I don= 't recall at all, so it's even possible to reconstruct which issues of \pla= in\i Superman\plain and \plain\i Action\plain I missed.\par \tab One stor= y that stuck with me was "Lois Lane's Super-Dream" from \plain\i Superman\p= lain #125. I'm not sure how much of the self-parodying humor I actually un= derstood at the time, but the embarrassing scene at the end with the inept = Clark Kent changing into his super-identity of Power-Man in a department st= ore window in full view of crowds on the street lingered in my memory. Mayb= e "we don't take our clothes off in public" is something even a six-year-ol= d can figure out. Looking at the story now, the lovely and utterly precise = art of Kurt Schaffenberger (every line exactly in place and crisply inked l= ike he meant it), maybe just a touch tongue-in-cheek, stands out. He always= did do the best Lois Lanes. In the story, Lois dreams that she acquires su= per-powers as the result of getting a blood transfusion from Superman. Is t= his a distant echo of something that was actually being considered around 1= 941 -- that plans were afoot to make Lois super exactly that way, and give = her a series and book of her own as \plain\i Superwoman\plain -- but never= followed through for some reason? I should check my back issues of \plain\= i Alter Ego\plain ...\par \tab \plain\i Action\plain #247 with "The Return= of Superman's Lost Parents" is another one I remember. (Ma and Pa Kent tak= e a time trip to the future to visit their now-grown foster son...or do the= y?) It stood out because I wasn't really up on Superboy yet, so a lot of th= e stuff about Superman's boyhood rehashed in the story was new to me.\par \= tab Several of the other stories were deeply imprinted in my memory as well= , especially the ones drawn by Wayne Boring. Looking at his art now, I noti= ce that most of his characters have some age to them, particularly the men.= A random male extra in a Boring scene always seems to look like a lean, 40= -something factory worker. I've also had impression that Boring's crowd sce= nes look like something from a '40s movie (and it did seem that even into t= he '60s, Boring was still stuck about 1946 or so).\par \tab It's been said = that Superman is so powerful that even bad stories can't hurt him.

Derek Ande= rson's recent comments about some K-a members not reading current comic boo= ks any more got me to thinking about where I stand in these matters.\par \t= ab The Secret Masters of Comics Fandom will probably strip me of my propell= er beanie for admitting this, but I burned out on current Big New York Comp= any super-hero comic books years ago. I used to claim somewhat tongue-in-ch= eekly and melodramatically that the death of Supergirl in \plain\i Crisis o= n Infinite Earths\plain was the last straw -- mess with \plain\i my\plain = childhood favorites, will they? Over time, I've realized that may not be a= bad stake in the ground after all, although my burn-out had probably set i= n well before that. Still, if something really major turns up that I'd othe= rwise miss, I hope somebody in K-a will talk about it. (That's right. I wan= t \plain\i you\plain to read comic books so I don't have to!)\par \tab Wha= t I do read is some idiosyncratic farrago of manga in several languages, Fr= ench albums, Disney stuff from various countries, and the occasional US rep= rint of something from before 1970 or so. It's all terribly unsystematic, f= ollowing my whims. \par \tab I jumped onto anime and manga some years ago b= ecause it was interesting. Something was \plain\i happening\plain here, an= d it wasn't just Big New York Company retreads and reboots. All of a sudden= , we were getting an entire country's production of comics and cartoons tha= t were very different in a lot of ways from what we were used to. Some of i= t, even a lot of it, I could take or leave, but like with most things, ther= e's not so good as well as very good. And the very good could be excellent.= There are more than a few series that I've glad to have welcomed into my l= ife, not just because they're Japanese, but because they're simply very goo= d and appealed to me in some way.\par \tab Even at that, anime and manga ar= en't pushing the same buttons they used to. I was a little surprised to see= how few series I'm following compared to a few years ago, even before the = current boom. As series wind down, I'm not replacing them with new discover= ies. Part of it may be that I'm no longer experimenting as widely as I used= to. I've found the formulae I like (just that right blend of romance and f= antasy, spiced with a little tongue in cheekness or maybe sheer goofiness),= and I know enough to avoid titles with giant robots, ninjas, or samurai on= the covers, or anything in general that looks like it's either too violent= or takes itself too seriously. I think I want another \plain\i Love Hina\p= lain . I'd settle for another \plain\i Battle Athletes\plain for just good= silly fun.\par \tab I've also had it up to here with manga that read like = diagrams instead of naturally flowing comics. About the only\plain\i \plai= n current manga series I'm following now is Ken Akamatsu's \plain\i Negima\= plain , which actually has backgrounds (and often very elaborate and detail= ed ones), not to mention characters usually drawn the way they "really" loo= k.

Even so, you pretty mu= ch have to already know \plain\i what\plain you want to order it, so the c= hances of discovering something new and exciting are lessened that way. Cer= tainly Amazon does its best to make recommendations based on your buying hi= story (and I've actually bought a few things due to that), but it isn't the= same as being in a bookstore and spotting something interesting that you c= an actually take a look at first. So a lot of the French albums I've been r= eading have been old favorite series, without much new, and I've been at th= is long enough that I'm starting to exhaust even the old favorites.

I really must be way th= e heck out of things...\par \tab So I continue to drift, picking up things = now and then that look enticing, but it's been a while since I discovered s= omething that really riveted my attention.

Well, if that happens, \plain\i Torch\plain= is where you'll hear about it.\par \tab Meanwhile, \plain\i Torch\plain = goes its own merry way, an erratic hodgepodge of whatever I find interestin= g whenever I feel moved to mention it, its contents and frequency dictated = by the necessity of producing a minimum of four pages every three months to= maintain membership in an association of comics fans.

After all, the original version of anything is usually= to be preferred. But it seemed like a fun thing to do (my idea of "fun," a= nyway), and I even had something on hand already to get going with. When I = was in Europe last November, I'd idly picked up copies of the first Potter = book in Swedish and the third in German, though without any real system in = mind at the time. If I'd had the idea for this Polyglot Potter Project then= , I might have gone about it in a little more orderly fashion, but I only t= hought of it later, well after I'd returned to the States.\par \tab Still, = the Swedish and German volumes gave me a place to start, and reading them i= n order didn't seem to be strictly necessary. I zipped through the third bo= ok first, since it's probably my favorite in the series (the author has got= ten the hang of story-telling, Voldemort isn't front and center for once, a= nd it's of a reasonable length), and German is my best language anyway, the= n tackled the first book. Swedish is about my weakest language and I had ne= ver read a full-length book of solid prose in it before, so it took a while= . Meanwhile, I had sent in an order to Amazon.fr for a copy of the second b= ook in French, and it arrived in time for me to dive into it as soon as I h= ad finished the first book.\par \tab That left the fourth and fifth books. = I don't have good mail-order book-buying connections in other countries the= way I do thanks to Amazon for France and Germany, so I had to arrange with= a friend in Holland to have him send me a copy of the fourth book in Dutch= . Unfortunately, there was still the fifth book, which is over 800 pages lo= ng, and I couldn't have read it in any reasonable time in the other languag= es I dabble in. So the judges (Me, Myself, and I) made a ruling that Englis= h counted as one of the allowable languages. The condition was to read the = books each in a different language, not each in a different language \plain= \i except\plain for English. But to mollify my conscience, I got a copy of= the fifth book in German from Amazon.de anyway, and I'll read it as well e= ven though it's a duplication of one of the previous languages and doesn't = really count.\par \tab So here's the official list...\par \par 1. \plain\i = Harry Potter och De Vises Sten\plain (Swedish)\par 2. \plain\i Harry Potte= r et la Chambre des Secrets\plain (French)\par 3. \plain\i\f32 Harry Potte= r und der Gefangene von Askaban\plain (German)\par 4. \plain\i Harry Potte= r en de Vuurbeker\plain (Dutch)\par 5. \plain\i Harry Potter and the Order= of the Phoenix\plain (English)\par \par Extra Credit:\par 5. \plain\i\f32= Harry Potter und der Orden des Ph\'f6nix\plain (German)\par \par This sho= uld take me nicely to July and just in time for publication of \plain\i Har= ry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince\plain .\par \tab Incidentally, the tran= slations differ in how much names were changed. Now, the story is set in a = British boarding school where English is spoken, so even if the book is tra= nslated, you'd think the \plain\i names\plain shouldn't change. On the oth= er hand, these are children's books, and kids in other countries might be p= ut off by names that sound too foreign as well as miss the underlying wordp= lay. The Swedish translation leaves most names untouched, the German change= s a few, and the French and Dutch change a \plain\i lot\plain . So in the F= rench version, the school is called \plain\i Poudlard\plain instead of Hog= warts, while in the Dutch it's \plain\i Zweinstein\plain , which I think is= trying too hard to get in the "hog-" reference. This really gets to be obv= ious in the movies, as when there's a sign that clearly says \plain\b HOGWA= RTS\plain and there has to be a subtitle for Dutch viewers that says \plai= n\b ZWEINSTEIN\plain .\par \tab Minor characters sometimes have their names= changed in ways that reflect more the translated-into language than what w= ould be expected in strictly British circumstances. Aunt Marge in German be= came the rather Teutonic-sounding Aunt Magda, for instance. Moaning Myrtle = in French became Mimi\plain\i Geignante\plain ("Moaning Mimi"). And in Du= tch, Nearly Headless Nick became \plain\i Haast Onthoofde\plain Henk (or m= ore formally Hendrik, "Henk" being a nickname therefor). Perhaps the oddest= change I've noticed to date was the French conversion of Professor Snape t= o Professor Rogue.\par \tab The real jaw-dropper, though, was in the Dutch = translation of the fourth book. Hermione tries to organize a campaign to im= prove the lot of house-elves, which in the Harry Potter world are outright = slaves, and in English she calls her organization the Society for the Promo= tion of Elfish Welfare, or S.P.E.W. The Dutch translator rendered that as t= he \plain\i Stichting Huis-elf, voor Inburgering en Tolerentie\plain ("Hou= se-Elf Foundation for Integration and Tolerance"), which results in a start= ling acronym leaping off the page to the eye of a native English reader. Si= nce the translator obviously knows English as a part of the job description= , it has to have been a deliberate joke. J. K. Rowling, call your office!\p= ar \tab I probably should be devoting my time to reading \plain\i original\= plain material in these languages, like a Danish fantasy trilogy about a b= oy from our world transported to the world of Norse myth (which has been si= tting on my shelf for \plain\i years\plain waiting for me to get to it), s= tuff I can't read any other way, instead of rehashing something I've alread= y read in English...but what the heck. \plain\i Harry Potter\plain is fun = and it's always interesting to see how the translators handle things.\par *= ************************************************************\par \par \qc \= plain\b Silly Cinema\plain \par \ql \par \plain\b D\plain uring my college = junior year in Salzburg, Austria (1971-1972), I lived in a student home tha= t had been a small hotel in the central city.

John,
 
Kelso usuall runs his biography in 6 to 8 = parts.=20
With the Shield there are 65 issues of=20 Pep and 13 issues of Shield~Wizard so it = may=20 run even longer.
When adding a chapter, I removed the "= to be=20 continued" from part 1 and added part 2
 
 
Part 2 is as follows...
 
Joe Higgins' first mission as the Shield wa= s to=20 find the German Spy leader who ordered the sabotage of those ammuniton barg= es=20 during World War I and clear his father's name. He first visited J. Edgar H= oover=20 and revealed his secret identity to him. Then, as Joe Higgins, he planted a= n=20 item in a newspaper that stated that he had found the anatomical formula ho= ping=20 to lure the spy leader, Hans Fritz (who also had Tom Higgins' original chem= ical=20 solution) out into the open. Fritz - now working for Germany's Nazi Regime = -=20 sent two of his men to kidnap Higgins only to be caught by the Shield.

Once they arrived at the factory; Higgins, Watson, and Mis= s=20 Ingot were taken captive by the crooked guards.

Hi Rik, It's actually a piece that I commissioned from Dick Ayers a few years ago. The "Mighty-12" is actually "Mighty-L2"...Mighty L1 is the uncolored black and white version. I noticed that a lot of the other email groups had images on their homepages so I decided to spice ours up a bit. Sorry that I have not kept this group going as well as I probably should have.

That is one option, although I've found with the egroups I moderate that sometimes spammers still slip through because we have no way of knowing if they 'are' spammers. Another option is to set it up so that all new members are on Moderate status. That way, all their posts come to you and must be relayed to the entire group. Only you see the spam, and you get to ban the spanners before they can inflict themselves on everyone else. I've found it works every time to stop spammers cold. Usually, they'll join and either start spamming right away or lurk a short while and then spam. By moderating their posts to see if they are sincere, you spare the rest of the group from their nonsense. Just my two cents. :) David From MrBrownlow@gmail.com Wed Dec 14 19:52:11 2005 Return-Path: X-Sender: MrBrownlow@gmail.com X-Apparently-To: mightycomics@yahoogroups.com Received: (qmail 89866 invoked from network); 15 Dec 2005 03:52:11 -0000 Received: from unknown (66.218.66.218) by m25.grp.scd.yahoo.com with QMQP; 15 Dec 2005 03:52:11 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO n2a.bulk.scd.yahoo.com) (66.94.237.36) by mta3.grp.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 15 Dec 2005 03:52:11 -0000 Comment: DomainKeys?

X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=20526609 No, not the World Wide Web, but the John Raymond Web. If the ArchieCo people want to add another graphic novel reprint volume in the same format as their Mighty Crusaders and Golden Age Shield collections, how about a collection of Mighty Comics era Web stories? I haven't gone back to count pages, but I think there are enough of them to fill out a book (and if not, a Golden Age reprint or two, like the origin, would fill it out nicely). At the time, fans thought these stories were heavy-handed, based on a lame-brained premise (the Web is henpecked), with clumsy, overdone humor. And they are. But because they were done for yuks, I think they hold up a lot better now than the other Mighty Comics stories that were supposed to be halfway serious. I'm a little vague on how much Jerry Siegel did or didn't do on which stories, but he had a sense of humor and I seem to recall some actual wit now and then. And the way the reintroduction of the Web was handled, coming unannounced and completely unexpectedly out of an otherwise routine Shield story, was one of the best things Mighty Comics ever did, hinting at the potential these characters had though sadly never realized. Anyway, I think age has actually been kind to the Web stories, they're genuinely funny, and I'd like to see a collection of them. Pow-Girl and all. --Dwight (Dwight R.

But=20 the age-old teenage issues of dating, crushes, school, homework,=20 sports and parents that they struggle with have remained the same.=20 Nowadays, "Archie" and his friends interact with fans online at=20 ArchieComics.com. When asked about the reason for "Archie's" enduring appeal, Richard=20 told the New York Times in 1973: "He's basically a square, but in my=20 opinion squares are the backbone of America. If we didn't have=20 squares, we wouldn't have strong families." Richard worked tirelessly to make sure Riverdale was the kind of town=20 you would want to live in. While the main characters have always=20 been "Archie," "Betty," "Veronica," "Jughead" and "Reggie," Richard=20 made sure that a diverse cast of ethnic characters were an integral=20 part of Riverdale's population. Just about everyone in America has at=20 one time read an Archie Comic. Richard was instrumental in the introduction of new properties, such=20 as "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and "Josie and the Pussycats," and in=20 the diversification of the Archie Comics product line via the=20 addition of licensed properties, such as "Teenage Mutant Ninja=20 Turtles" and "Sonic the Hedgehog." In each case, Richard ensured that=20 the comic stories fit with the company's strong family values. He=20 took great satisfaction knowing that Archie Comics only produced=20 comics with content that parents could trust to be appropriate for=20 their children. Richard was instrumental in expanding the reach of=20 Archie Comics beyond U.S. borders. Archie Comics have been translated=20 from English into French, Spanish, German, Greek, Korean, Swedish,=20 Danish, Russian, Vietnamese, Hindi and Arabic.=20 Richard also assisted Michael with efforts to expand Archie's core=20 characters into other mediums =96 including=20 countless "Archie", "Sabrina" and "Josie" animated television series,=20 a long running live action "Sabrina" television series that has been=20 seen in 34 different countries, a "Josie and the Pussycats"=20 theatrical motion picture and "The Archies" musical group that had=20 tremendous success in the 60's and 70's. In commenting upon Richard's passing, Michael said: "I am proud to=20 know that my good friend Richard played a major role in bringing=20 America's favorite teenage humor characters into millions of American=20 homes. I will miss him profoundly, both as a life-long friend and=20 business partner." Victor Gorelick, Vice President/Managing Editor, said, "I worked with=20 Richard for almost 50 years. He passed on his enthusiasm and love for=20 the "Archie" characters to me. He was my boss and my friend. I'm=20 going to miss him and our almost daily talks. While he would come=20 into my office to go over cover ideas, story topics and editorial=20 direction, we also enjoyed engaging in lively discussions about cars,=20 food, boats and the good old days." Richard is survived by his three daughters, Lisa, Taylor and Summer.=20 There will be a Memorial Service to celebrate Richard's life on=20 Wednesday, October 10th at Zion Memorial Chapel, 785 E. Boston Post=20 Rd. Mamaroneck NY at 2PM (914-381-1809). In lieu of flowers, the=20 family asks that memorial donations be made to The Center for Hope,=20 590 Post Road, Darien, CT 06820 (203-655-4693).

It lists aliens, spacecraft and robots from movies, comics, literature, etc. The format is similar to his Encyclopedia of Superheros and his Encyclopedia of Super Villains. Over all it's a good book, but I'm disappointed at the lack of Archie/MLJ entries there are. I'm just going through the book. The only one I see listed from Archie/MLJ is Brain Emperor. There certainly is a lot more, in my opinion, that could have been listed. I know that the 60s books had alien invasions in just about every issue and that most of the time the aliens weren't even named, but there are some entries that should have been in this book. Phantasmon, Roxr, Eterno (could be considered an alien since he was from an Atlantis of a parallel Earth),Storm King,the Ziks (space pirates that appeared in Adventures of Jaguar). Plus there is also the Fly World. And how about Metal Master, and the robot gang from Shield, surely these qualify. And of course Computo from the Super Teens. Even if they only had a minor listing as was done with a lot of the Marvel and DC aliens in an appendix. It amazes me how unknown or ignored the Archie/MLJ clan is when it comes to mainstream books like this. I will admit that Jeff did a good job with the Archie/MLJ stuff in the two encyclopedias mentioned above. Here was a chance, though, for him to add more listings from this group. I'm sure that it is just his unfamiliarity of the group as a whole. He had enough research to do the encyclopedias, but I guess he didn't dig enough for this book to add a lot of Archie/MLJ stuff. The more exposure the Archie superheroes get, the better for the company. Graphic novels and TPBs might sell a lot better, and serious consideration might be given to a series of these characters. They are really too good to be kept in "limbo." --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

I have never been able to find that Super-Duck strip that's supposedly in some issue. To the best of my knowledge and memory of reading the books, Super-Duck never appeared in Hangman. I believe the listing of Super-Duck in Hangman is an error that got into an early MLJ checklist, possibly Nolan's in the '60s, and has been copied successively into every checklist since, including the Overstreet Guide, without anyone ever double-checking to make sure the strip is actually there. --Dwight (Dwight R.

Hey, Jonathan--

Very interesting and informative site!  Thanks for letting me know about it.

I've downloaded what Mighty Comics I've found on the Web and, of course, remember them from the old days.  I still have the ones I was able to find and purchase in those days, and between the campiness, the strange writing style that Jerry Seigel used, and the Reinman artwork, they were not the most impressive thing on the rack.

STILL-- even with all that-- I was in love with the heroes themselves and kept hoping something better would come of them.

I look forward to reading all of your blog this weekend, and I thank you for all the work you've put into it.

Oh hi, Dwight

Since you're not interested in those old Hangman comics anymore and
they are already boxed up, it would be a simple matter of taking the
box down to the post office and mailing them to me. You don't need
those old things cluttering up your house anyway.

This reminds me of something I've wondered about. While I assume the Archie=
=20
company has copies of everything it's ever published, has a private collect=
or=20
ever assembled a complete MLJ collection?

It's a small enough set =E2=80=94 around 220 individual issues if you conce=
ntrate on=20
super-heroes =E2=80=94 that you'd think somebody must have done it, but I'm=
 not so=20
sure. The late '60s Nolan MLJ checklist lists something like fifteen people=
 in=20
its acknowledgements section, as though there was no one collector Nolan co=
uld=20
go to even then who had everything. I've talked to some old-time collectors=
=20
over the years who had an interest in MLJ, the people you'd think would hav=
e=20
complete sets, but none did.

I suspect that what happened is that even in the early days of comics fando=
m,=20
when MLJ comics were still relatively plentiful and relatively cheap (note=
=20
use of word "relatively") =E2=80=94 so were issues of Action, Marvel Myster=
y, All-Star,=20
Whiz, and all the rest. Collectors either opted for a sampling of a variety=
 of=20
different titles and companies, or concentrated on the first-string compani=
es=20
and the high-demand titles. I seem to recall it seriously being argued in t=
he=20
'60s that any comics collector worthy of the name had to have a set of=20
All-Star. As a very much second-string company with a hero line-up that was=
 fairly=20
short-lived, MLJ would have been more sampled than systematically collected=
 by=20
collectors out for bigger game. In short, when it was still possible to put=
=20
together a complete MLJ collection for not very much money, nobody bothered=
.

Later, collectors appeared who were interested in MLJ specifically (mostly=
=20
younger fans who had seen the characters in the '60s Mighty Comics and had =
their=20
interest piqued), but by then prices had shot up prohibitively. You'd have =
to=20
be rich or very dedicated (or both) to manage a complete set. Still, I made=
 a=20
game try of it in the '90s, when prices hadn't gone entirely through the=20
roof. The books were still out there, even ones considered rare or scarce, =
perhaps=20
the result of collections being sold as older collectors decided to cash ou=
t=20
so they could buy that condo in Florida. I figured a rich collector for who=
m=20
money was no limit could have acquired a complete set in a matter of months=
.=20

I was several years at it and eventually had to give up well short of the=20
goal, finally defeated by rising prices. The real killer was Pep #22. Since=
 it=20
has the first appearance of Archie, the price had even then soared into the=
=20
thousands. The Peps immediately following had exploded in price, too, becau=
se it=20
seemed as though every issue introduced a new Archie character or was other=
wise=20
important for the Archie canon. Even while I was collecting, it seemed as=20
though prices were shooting up as I watched, even for the less desirable is=
sues.=20
Nolan's remark in the '60 MLJ checklist referring to those mediocre later=20
issues of Top Notch Laugh with one Black Hood strip each lost in a sea of f=
unny=20
strips, as "dollar a copy" material seemed sad considering what those issue=
s=20
were going for by the late '90s. If only I had begun the quest in the '70s.=
..

Then there's the matter of what constitutes a complete set. I arbitrarily=20
limited it to comics with super-heroes. Even at that, things get a little f=
uzzy=20
at the edges. That criterion would eliminate Blue Ribbon #1, the first MLJ=
=20
comic ever. It doesn't have super-heroes in it, but it seems kind of import=
ant=20
historically. There's also the matter of Top-Notch Laugh #45. The Black Hoo=
d's=20
last appearance was in #44 and issue #45 was all-funny stuff, but a full-pa=
ge ad=20
for the Black Hood's own comic book was
perhaps meant to serve as a guide for puzzled readers looking for the Hood.=
=20
Then, with #46, the title was just Laugh, and lasted through #48 (becoming=
=20
Suzie with #49). For that matter, what about the reprint titles like Roly-P=
oly and=20
Liberty? I think I finally decided that a complete set would be just the=20
strictly super-hero issues. The marginal comics would be considered super-c=
omplete=20
=E2=80=94 not essential but if they turned up at a reasonable price, why no=
t? (I=20
sometimes think that full-page Black Hood ad in Top Notch Laugh #45 pushes =
it over=20
the edge into collectibility =E2=80=94 besides, you've got all the other is=
sues of=20
the title, why not get the last one to finish the run off?)

Anyway, back to the question. Has anybody ever collected a complete set of=
=20
MLJ comics? It's a finite set small enough that it should have been possibl=
e at=20
any time over the first several decades of organized comic collecting histo=
ry,=20
even by collectors of relatively modest means. (At least before about ten o=
r=20
twelve years ago.)  Possible, yes... but does anybody know if anyone ever d=
id=20
it?

as coming out next week, and it's been advertised as being dedicated to MLJ=

Great job, Rk.  Thanks.  I like thi= s costume better than the others, I've seen.   the idea of the go= ggles on top of his head like that though (even though he will put them ove= r his eyes at least once) threw me off.  I liked at first as if he had= four eyes.  I think they would be better working the goggles into the= costume design where = they are covering his eyes at all times, or just go without them.  The= y could probably work some kind of lense thing in the eylets of h= is mask to give him the night vision (g= ood idea, the night vision).  These are creative guys, I'm sure t= hey can work something out.  Other than the goggle thing, I think=  the costume is great.  Chompiing at the bit to see the one shot.

I found it interesting while watching a = review with scenes from the movie of District 9 this morning that there wer= e some similarities to a Comet proposal I was working on and was planning t= o present to Archie Comics, if my Mighty Crusaders  proposal went over= with them and a series had started.  In the proposal I had John Dicke= ring as head of a government project --- here's a snippet from the proposal= :
 

The Comet=E2=80=99s new adventures begin with John Dickerin= g being transferred to the WhitTech plant in Nevada.  This is really a front, though, as he will ac= tually be on loan to the government as the head of Project Centauri; the Ai= r Force=E2=80=99s project to obtain a hyper drive propulsion unit to send a= n expeditionary force to Alpha Centauri. The project is located near Yucca = Flats/Area 51/Nellis Air Base. His adventures will primarily deal with alie= ns and villains that revolve around the project=E2=80=99s happenings.  As the series progresses we=E2=80= =99ll find out why the Air Force wants to do so, and learn of the extraterr= estrials being held prisoners at a facility in Area 51.

 
The "complete" unfinished proposal has been up loaded to the Mighty Cr= usaders group and is in the files section under FanFic, under Proposals.&nb= sp; If I do any fanfic stories, this is the premise that I will use.  = For those of you in the other groups I've attached a Word document.
 
As always, I appreciate any feedback.
 
Good art.  Good writing. That was t= he positive.   Now, here's the negative.  This story could h= ave been done with any character.  The man that is going to be the Web= , isn't.  There's nothing wrong with drinking liquor.  I do mysel= f (my favorite is Guinness Stout beer).  But this intro makes him soun= d like a lush.  It also makes him sound like he is more of an anti-her= o than a hero.  Typical modern-age stuff.  I guess it's sort of l= ike the saying:  "This ain't your Daddy's super hero" -- it ain't mine= neither.  In short -- I don't like the man who is going to be behind = the mask, so I won't like him when he puts on the mask. Nuff said.

Rik.  Love the new format.  I'll lo= ok it over more and let you know about anything that might need to be chang= ed.  A humorous note on the Captain Sprocket entry:  You mention = that the Chinese-American laundryman is today considered politically incorr= ect.  LOL.  Most of the dry cleaners in my area are run by Chines= e-Americans or Korean-Americans.  A lot of the laundromats (which also= have pick-up and drop-off services) are run by Hispanic-Americans.  I= find it funny that that scene would be considered politically incorrect to= day.  This certainly is a "funny" country we live in.

 I'll have to re-read that story.  Was it actually Captain F= alg who hanged him or was it done under the auspices of the ship's Captain?=   Maritime law being what it was, the Captain, finding the man guilty = would have the right.  There is a difference in killing someone (execu= ting for a crime by the proper authorities) and murdering someone.

Yes, and he still didn't kill anyone -- though that didn't m= ean that he wouldn't having turned evil as he did.  Good man can turn = bad.  I hadn't known about the MLJ heroes, nor had I known about the H= angman's having been a villain at the time I first read Migh= ty Comics 
#48, which was the first of the 60's Archie ultra-hero c= omics I ever read.

Yes, and he still didn't kill anyone -- though=20 that didn't mean that he wouldn't having turned evil as h= e=20 did.  Good man can turn bad.  I hadn't known about the ML= J=20 heroes, nor had I known about the Hangman's having been a=20 villain at the time I first read Mighty Comics

Re: The Hangman. In the Golden Age, his stories could get=20 gruesome, but as far as I know, he never killed anybody.

Michael:  All good points.  And I agree.  It somethimes= seemed to me that Archie doesn't really want anything to do with the chara= cters, or that they do not know what to do with them.   And, they= haven't done much to promote any appearamces in their magazines.  Whe= n the Web made an appearance in the Kay Keene story awhile back In Archie a= nd Friends, I would have expected a cover blurb announcing such.  Ther= e was nothing.  Also, an aside, when I went to the comic shop loo= king for that issue, and meentioned to the people in the shop that there wa= s a Web appearance in the book, I got balnk stares and a response:  "A= rchie has super heroes?"   And, what about the appearan= ce of the Mighty Crusaders in Archie Double Digest (I think it was that off= the top of my head) awhile ago in the reprented story from AMW #3?  N= o fanfare. (I don''t have the issue in front of me right now, but I don't think there was anything announcing it on the cover.)  You woul= d think that they would want people to know they were in there to elict mor= e sales if nothing else.  Someone who was not an Archie fan but knew o= f the Mighty Crusaders or was just intrigued by the blurb might have picked= up a copy.  I think Archie has the mentality that super heroes are no= t their thing; that people don't want there super heroes in wholesome, fami= ly-oriented, entertaining stories.  I think they think people want&nbs= p; the crap that the other companies are putting out that rely mainly on gr= aphic sex and violence and not well-written stories.  And, if that is = their thinking, then yeah, they do a Crusaders series.
 
The eighties series left a lot to be desired, but as I said in a previ= ous post, if they had gotten talent who would follow their guidelines -- an= d tell good stories, as you mentioned -- it could have succeeded.  I t= hink the internal problems with the eighties series and the fact = that they did not give it long enough to prove itself wrote its demise= .  I don't think Archie has vision when it comes to their super h= eroes.  If they had a vision, then they could follow the vision and ma= ke it work.  SWome of us fans do have a vison forthe heroes. = ; Even the people that Archie got to dd the series in the eigthies may not = have had a vison for the characters -- or had the wrong vision. &= nbsp;
 
Jusr my three cents.

There is  abs= olutely no reason why Archie or any other company can not produce entertain= ing, action filled all ages superhero stories.

I fail to und= erstand why Archie has not run 6 or 8 page superhero stories in some of the= ir books featuring some of their better know characters such as the Shield,= the Web, Black Hood etc featuring attractive art by oh say Ron Frenz, Tom = Grummett, Dan Jurgens Sal Buscema; all talented artists who are story telle= rs and not trying to create their version of an established character.

Hi,Reuben.
The thing is that Archie Comics is a relatively small family business.= They went with what works and for them that was Archie,Jughead, Betty &= ; Veronica,etc. . I think that anything to do with their Hero line would ne= ed to be kept seperate from that but still maintaining a standard that kept= books relatively "family safe". 
 
It can be done and when you see,as I did the other week,two mothers ta= lking outside a comic shop and one explaining that her kid was into super h= eroes and she was going to go inside to pick some up,though she had no idea= what titles. "Oh no!" said the other woman,"I bought a few for Jim,my boy = and I looked inside and some woman was being raped!"  She then checked= the other books but was astonished as VERY strong language,sex and someone= having "their guts pulled out".  She threw them in the bin. BUT she t= hen added "I took them out the bin and got some money back [back issue stoc= k] but I saw Archie comics and haven't seen them since the 1970s".  So= this woman recalls that Archie are good family comics but was a bit peeved= at there being no safe super hero comics from them".
 
Thank god for bus stops outside comic stores!
 
You see,though the Red Circle line was a little edgey,Archie still has= the reputation of being safe. I do hear that Jughead has purchased an all-= covering PVC outfit,though.
 
Seriously,Archie would need someone not influenced by the utter crap o= ut there in the industry who could write good action but "safe" stories.&nb= sp; And artists that can draw those books -Neal Adams,Rich Buckler,et al.
 
It can be done but it is Archie's decision.
 
Rik:my contract still hasn't turned up -you've not done a deal with Ad= ams have you???!!

I'm talking about Archie setting one up.  That may have been what= they were attempting with Red Circle in the eighties, but it didn't work.&= nbsp; I've been in correspondence with some of the principles i.e., wr= iters, artists that did some work for Red Circle.  Of, course everyone= is going to see things from their own perspective, but one of the things I= saw is that Archie let, in some cases, the experiences people (in the supe= r hero end of it) do their jobs, or got to involved in the editorial end.&n= bsp; There were other problems there as well.  But one specific incide= nt I can relate is that of and incident in the story "Gridlock".  In t= his story the Crusaders are testing out new communicators.  There are = some problems.  In the end of the story Shield speaks a line about the= re being a few bugs in it -- meaning the communication system.  That w= as pretty much the end of the story and, I don't know about others, but it left me flat.  Now, why is that do you suppose.  Well, be= cause the story didn't end as it was originally written.  Someone at A= rchie changed the ending.  It was supposed to be the Fly who made that= comment.  If you re-read the story and imagine the Fly making that co= mment it makes more sense and adds a little humor. There were other th= ings.

Hi,Michael.
I just had a very long chat with the only Independent comic store in o= ur city.  I asked about "safe"/"All family" super hero comics that kid= s can read.  I was told they steer any such enquiries toward Archie [I= F they have any] or some other title I cannot recall but looked through it = and...yuck.
 
I was told "If anyone asks for a superhero comic kids up to 13 or so c= an read -we're stuck.  Comics just are not family friendly any more so= kids are not getting hooked into superhero comics for when they get older"=   I suggested some of the collected books of old DC/Marvel comics but = as he pointed out these are expensive.
 
I need to point out that The Web,Inferno, Shield from DC were already = in the remainder box. I asked why and was told that some people who had ord= ered them gave them back because they were "dire s***" and not very origina= l. We're talking 10 copies of each book which for an Indie store here are a= large number.  They ain't ordering more.
 
Again,I pointed out the Archie-Dark Horse deal but..."yeah, but they w= ill be pricey. Do you recommend them?"  To which I had to reply they h= adn't been printed yet and I doubt I'd buy any expensive books.  "If y= ou do and they are any good let me know".
 
So,Rik,that script will be with you next Monday now as I'm going throu= gh a J.M. Stracyzinki phase...BUT MY CHEQUE BETTER BE IN ADVANCE!!
 
= Terry

There is  abs= olutely no reason why Archie or any other company can not produce entertain= ing, action filled all ages superhero stories.

Hi,Reuben.
The thing is that Archie Comics is a relatively small family business.= They went with what works and for them that was Archie,Jughead, Betty &= ; Veronica,etc. .

Thank god for bus stops outside comic stores!

Seriously,Archie would need someone not influenced by the utter crap o= ut there in the industry who could write good action but "safe" stories.&nb= sp; And artists that can draw those books -Neal Adams,Rich Buckler,et al.
 
It can be done but it is Archie's decision.

I'm talking about Archie setting one up.  That may have been what= they were attempting with Red Circle in the eighties, but it didn't work.&= nbsp; I've been in correspondence with some of the principles i.e., wr= iters, artists that did some work for Red Circle.  Of, course everyone= is going to see things from their own perspective, but one of the things I= saw is that Archie let, in some cases, the experiences people (in the supe= r hero end of it) do their jobs, or got to involved in the editorial end.&n= bsp; There were other problems there as well.  But one specific incide= nt I can relate is that of and incident in the story "Gridlock".  In t= his story the Crusaders are testing out new communicators.  There are = some problems.  In the end of the story Shield speaks a line about the= re being a few bugs in it -- meaning the communication system.  That w= as pretty much the end of the story and, I don't know about others, but it left me flat.  Now, why is that do you suppose.  Well, be= cause the story didn't end as it was originally written.  Someone at A= rchie changed the ending.  It was supposed to be the Fly who made that= comment.  If you re-read the story and imagine the Fly making that co= mment it makes more sense and adds a little humor. There were other th= ings.

Interesting start.  Rik, the villians (t= he Mechanistas) remind me of a story idea I shared with you once. I'd = like to see where the writer takes this.  Keeping the Crusaders as a government- sanctioned/= run team as they were in later sixties and eighties is a good idea. There i= s conflict potential there.

With the New York Comic Con just around the corner, Archie comics is hoping= to breathe new life into characters introduced as early as the 1940s, whic= h have since fallen out of the public eye. Fans will have access to both Archie Comics' latest material, in the form o= f a six-page comic, and to the back catalogue, which will be reprinted for = the first time. And just like the recent DC Comics reboot, the new comic will not require k= nowledge of decades of continuity. The series, to be written by Ian Flynn and illustrated by Ben Bates, will f= eature the original Mighty Crusaders, a collective of Archie Comics' superh= eroes. Set years after their original adventures, the story will feature th= e patriotic hero, The Shield, leading a group of young superheroes to take = down villains which have taken out the since-retired heroes. This new super= -team will be known as the New Crusaders, which is also the title of the se= ries. The characters were last published by Archie Comics in 1985. DC Comics lice= nsed the characters to revive interest in them in both 1991 and 2008, howev= er, both attempts did not last. Those expecting edgy stories that are a common theme these days might be su= rprised by the tone of the New Crusaders. "They are not going to be water-d= owned (sic) superheroes, but they are not going to be dark either", said Jo= n Goldwater, the co-chief executive of Archie Comics Publications, to the N= ew York Times. He compared the tone of the series to popular Pixar animated= movie, The Incredibles. Tackling the digital frontier has become a priority in the comic book indus= try. DC Comics and Marvel Comics were at first reluctant to release digital= versions of the comics on the same day as the print versions, but have sin= ce started to do so. Slave Labor Graphics, a small independent publisher, h= as also started to release its comics purely in digital format, and will on= ly print collected editions of the comics. "It's very exciting to be creating the first brand-new digital comic book l= abel," said Goldwater. "Financially, it makes sense =85 We are not going to= have any print costs. To be a slave to printing prices when you're startin= g a new venture is a tremendous concern." Archie Comics has yet to set the price for the subscription. "Value, value,= value. That's what we want to give at Archie Comics," said Goldwater, who = shared that he hoped the subscription fees to be no more than a regular com= ic book sold by DC Comics or Marvel Comics, which regularly go for US$2.99 = (SGD$3.90) to US$3.99. "We're very conscious of what's going on in the econ= omy right now. We want to be recession busters. We don't want to gouge our = fans."
