Once was at the Chicago Comicon in 1987 after they launched the new FLASH series. The second time I met him was at FallCon 1997. He was a gracious man who loved what he did. He told those who would listen about how comics were done in the 1960’s with the cover coming first and then the writer having to fit the script around that http://comicsaficionado.blogspot.com/2004/02/julius-schwartz-1915-2004-i-only-me.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215243.post-107731506685523806Fri, 20 Feb 2004 22:11:00 +00002004-02-20T14:18:06.216-08:00COMIC BOOK REVIEW: HARD TIME #1 HARD TIME #1 Writer: Steve Gerber Penciller: Brian Hurtt Cover: Tomer Hanuka Publisher: DC Focus Published: February 4, 2004, 56 pages, Color, $2.50 Review: I rarely review regular “pamphlet”/monthly comics due to the manic complexity of getting all the issues together and then reading them.

This is one trippy experience. ACID KEG has beautiful art, an odd story and a groovy feel to it. It “rebooted” itself at the beginning of the year, so if you go into the archives you will find some one-time gag strips that were the predecessors to the new on-going storyline. They give you some additional insight and clues into the current story.http://comicsaficionado.blogspot.com/2004/02/acid-keg-read-this-web-comic.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215243.post-107730304708151790Fri, 20 Feb 2004 18:50:00 +00002004-02-20T10:53:29.153-08:00Comic Strip Icon to get Married.
