Duck Running LIVE! by Steve Ahlquist

Reptilicus (1961)

This site has been up and running for 5 years and I have waited until now to dump the most snot coated cinema stink bomb of all time: Denmark's first and only monster movie, REPTILICUS  (AKA Ever want to see Copenhagen get attacked by a sock puppet)
A portion of the tail of a prehistoric reptile is discovered in Denmark. It regenerates into the entire reptile, which proceeds to destroy buildings and property and generally make a nuisance of itself. It can fly, swim, and walk, and has impenetrable scales, which makes it difficult to kill. Written by Paul White

If Southwest wasn't such a skyBike this could be a scene from Soul Plane. Also, Soul Plane would have had to have NOT sucked to get this guy to be in it.



Lynda's not as good but still makes the best of a bad situation.

Book Reviews and some TOOTER TURTLE cartoons

Buck Rogers In The 25th Century by John F. Dille
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this for all the wrong reasons -- Dick Calkins great art adds a perfect deadpan to Philip Francis Nowlan's Ed Wood like horribly, stupid writing. If it were published today I would think it was a brilliant comedy in the vein of David Boswell's Reid Flemming

Witch Doctor Volume 1 by Brandon Seifert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If this creative team had worked on Doctor Strange for the last 10 years I would have been reading Doctor Strange for the the last 10 years instead of hitting copies of it on the racks at the LCBS with a shoe.

Batman: Noel by Lee BermejoMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
I have no idea how this disaster made it past an editor's desk and to the printers. As sequential storytelling goes it was at times impossible to follow, all over the place. Even the lettering font was horrific.

Novahead by Steve AylettMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Skull-cracking. Finally, after several decades of the norm, a wildly bold new voice in fiction. I wish Steve Aylett would do some mainstream comic book work, that stale horse is starting to stink up the joint with its aggressive scorn for blazing new trails or original concepts.

Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. CoreyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Great first installment to a trilogy. An action packed space opera combined with a noir detective story. Destined to be a $300 million box office disaster.

ABC3D by MARION BATAILLE

ONE OF THE MOST DELIGHTFUL AND INNOVATIVE POP-UP BOOKS I HAVE EVER SEEN.—Robert Sabuda 


From the lenticular cover that changes with the angle of your hands, all the way to the Z, ABC3D is as much a work of art as it is a pop-up book. Each of the 26 dimensional letters move and change before your eyes. C turns into D with a snap. M stands at attention. X becomes Y with a flick of the wrist. And then there's U... Boldly conceived and brilliantly executed with a striking black, red, and white palette, this is a book that readers and art lovers of all ages will treasure for years to come. 


MARION BATAILLE is graphic and book designer who has never before been published in this country. She lives in Paris. This is just a hand-made mock-up of the actual book which publishes in Oct. 2008. We couldn't be more excited about it.


Also for those asking that's the incredible 30's trio The Boswell Sisters singing "Roll On"

A Day of Thanksgiving (1950) this is so creepy

And in 1956 there were "THE MOLE PEOPLE"

This is my favorite movie about the "Mole People."
