Amazing Spider-Man #2 (Lee/Ditko, May 1963). Sometimes the pleasure in these early Marvel comics is in watching them figure things out. But with Spider-Man, it’s almost all there immediately. Some of it’s stuff tested in other books. Pete’s a teenager like Johnny Storm or Rick Jones. He’s hunted and feared like the Hulk. He’s a scientist and an inventor, like Reed and Hank and Bruce. But all of these elements synthesize into something greater in Peter Parker. Whether he’s worrying about paying Aunt May’s bills, withstanding Flash Thompson’s bullying, or devising a strategy to outwit the Vulture, Pete’s life feels richer and fuller to me than any of his predecessors.

Daicon V: A Virtual Retrospective
As a kid that grew up on old media, be it movies, music or TV Shows, basically anything I could rummage at hole in the wall video stores. I love this little film so much. It is a love letter to everything I think is cool, and I wanted it to be the first entry in the JAE sub retrospective. I am getting older I guess and looking back on all these things that inspire me. Things that I just love so much. It makes me happy to share them with others. Thank you for taking this journey with me really, and I hope you continue to enjoy it.
Until next week. Perhaps Giant Robots? Huummm. See you then!!!

“The Real Hergé: The Inspiration Behind Tintin”, first comics-related biography from White Owl Books
Slipping under my radar late last year was the release of The Real Hergé: The Inspiration Behind Tintin by Sian Lye, published by White Owl Books, an imprint of Pen & Sword – and the publisher has more comics-related biographies in the works, including an “joyous” tribute to Stan Lee from Adrian Mackinder.
Belgian comic creator Georges Remi, aka Hergé (1907-1983) created only 24 Tintin books,…
Incredible Hulk #6 (Lee/Kirby, Mar 1963). These first six issues are very experimental: Hulk’s skin changes from grey to green; Banner’s transformation comes every night, then he builds a device to manually change back and forth; and each transformation retains different degrees of Hulk’s rage and strength, or of Banner’s intelligence and vocabulary. Despite this, the book feels surprisingly coherent! I think it’s because Banner himself chooses to conduct tests, so every narrative shift feels motivated by character. I’m kinda disappointed that Hulk’s solo book goes on hiatus for five years now…
