DrGoat said...: Some great covers. Never got into Howard the Duck. The movie was so bad (my opinion), it wasn't even fun to watch.; January 15, 2013 at 10:30 AM
Kal said...: I wasn't angry enough or counter culture enough to get Howard's rantings at the 'the man' thought I like that villain with a bell for a head.; January 15, 2013 at 10:32 AM
Jordan said...: That looks like a Berni Wrightson cover on "The House of Mystery." Excellent!; January 15, 2013 at 12:26 PM
Hobgoblin238 said...: I wonder if Marvel would ever Essentialize the Doc Savage issues. I have never read him before.; January 15, 2013 at 1:19 PM
david_b said...: I picked up nearly the entire Howard run AND Annual (all VF condition) for under $20 a few months back. Couldn't resist.

I had a couple of issues back in the day, but a lot of it went over my head as to exactly what they were satirizing.

It would be nice to have a Masterworks done for him, but actually I love reading the letter's pages too much, at times more entertaining than the stories itself.; January 15, 2013 at 2:16 PM

Kal said...: As a good Kirby cover is apt to do.; January 15, 2013 at 6:14 PM
Mike D. said...: "Great"...begging your pardon; January 15, 2013 at 7:55 PM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
