It’s time for another update from BIFF SOCKO, TWO-FISTED NEWSHOUND. Biff Socko covers Comic Book News like zits on the A-V Club. Faster than Perry White! Stronger than J. Jonah Jameson! Hotter than Cat Grant. He is…BIFF SOCKO! DATELINE:…
Jack “Crash Carson” Tremblay
I’d like to take a small respite from this small blog for a few weeks to work on a couple of other things. I plan to post the short columns I did for Leif Peng and his Daily Inspiration blog…
Would I Ever Stop Collecting Spider-Man?
Some comments on one of Scott’s articles got me thinking about an old maxim of mine: I have frequently told fans to drop a book if they don’t like and voice their disdain with buying power. I’ve followed this rule…
Rather see superheroes at the movies than read about them
An excellent article on The Forbidden Planet site from Richard, a regular contributor who is also a grade school librarian. Through knowledge, contacts in the industry and dogged determination he’s managed to build a substantial graphic novel section. I mercilessly played upon…
Indies: Titan, Post, Thinger Dinger, Lettuce Girl & Copra
Another round of minicomics that make having a PayPal account worthwhile.
Titan’s Treasures Superhero Belts
My wife just forwarded this to me via children’s clothing sales site Kids Steals. Wow, those are nice looking belt buckles. Not so sure about the colour choices of the canvas belts but I’m sure they’d work with standard 1.5″…
Reviews and Comic Book Movies
Are you someone who pays attention to the reviews of a movie? If it gets “Two Thumbs Up” do you have to go see it? Or do you even care what someone has to say on TV or in a…

Comic Culture July 10th 2013
This week Comic Culture host Chris Owen continues “breaking in” new co-host in Marty Birthelmer. Marty jumps into the co-host chair putting Walter Durajlija into the producers chair. Walt had some dental work done that involves a retainer limiting his…
Top 20?
I was talking with Walter Durajlija the other day about doing an entry on the WECA keys and he suggested a good task might be to start to create a list of the top twenty WECA (1941-46) books much…
Nerdy Little Secret
Working in the legal industry (my day job) the conversation at events can sometimes be dry and boring (well, at least to me). So one of my favourite questions to ask people is, what are your hobbies? When posed with…
Dealing with your collection footprint
I have a friend who has a toy room (hi Marc!). He tells me his collection will never get bigger than his toy room, and will sell old items to make room for new. It’s a sound strategy and one…
Hey Kids! Don’t buy these *bleeping* toys!
What the hell has happened to the toy industry? Why are they making crap? The new toys have just hit the shelves to help support the new Wolverine movie, and they are a complete disgrace. They look like they should…

Lilith Dark
I love a good Walter Mitty story. And there have been some greats. Ralph Phillips from the old Warner Brothers cartoons, who dreamed up all sorts of adventures from everyday challenges. Hobbes very nature makes Calvin a Walter Mitty. I’ve…

Captain Canuck Webisode 1
Captain Canuck Webisode 1 a Big Hit The 1st of 5 planned Captain Canuck animated webisodes aired on July 1st Canada Day to what looks like rave reviews. There was a strong buzz among the growing fan base leading up…
Winner! Gagnon!
One aspect of the WECA comics (1941-46) that truly made them Canadian was the great effort they went to in order to engage their readers. One of these central ways was the almost monthly implementation of contests right from the…
