Cover Gallery: DRACULA CHRONICLES
When Marvel reintroduced Dracula as a major character in the mid 1990s...
...Topps took one last shot at the character, reprinting their poor-selling 1992 Vlad the Impaler mini-series (which we've been re-presenting on this blog for the past couple of weeks) as Dracula Chronicles with new covers by Joseph Linsner.
It didn't sell any better, and with the phenomenal success of X-Files, Dracula was dropped from Topps' roster.

Jackie Robinson 1950s Comic Book Covers
With the new flick, 42, opening next week...
...let's look at the superb covers for the short-lived (and never reprinted) groundbreaking comic book series from Fawcett Comics that ran from 1950 to 1952, now being offered as posters and prints, digitally-remastered and restored from the actual covers, by a good friend of ours!
Collect all six for a kool wall display!
They'll also be doing reproductions of the poster and lobby cards for the first Jackie Robinson movie The Jackie Robinson Story (1950), starring the man as himself (in his only movie appearance) along with Ruby Dee as Rachel "Rae" Robinson, and Minor Watson as Branch Rickey.
Here's the complete movie...
In the new movie, Chadwick Boseman is Jackie Robinson, Nicole Beharie is Rachel Robinson, and Harrison Ford is Branch Rickey.

Noted Fantasy Artist Bob Larkin Needs Our Help!
Bob Larkin, who’s done hundreds of paintings for Marvel, DC, Fleer and numerous others, is in desperate need of help.
Bob’s wife, Fran, has been battling various forms of cancer for the past 12 years and the endless medical bills have put an incredible financial strain on the family.
Fran is currently recovering from her latest surgery and Bob has become her caregiver 24/7 leaving him unable to take on new work.
To help pay the bills Fantom Press is offering numerous items for sale...including a new sketchbook (see cover above) of Larkin's art featuring never-seen roughs, prelims, and sketches!
The books are square bound, 8 ½ x 11″ 48 black and white pages and each one is individually signed and numbered by Bob. The paperback edition is $20.00 and there are two deluxe hard cover editions available that are in short supply. 100% of the sales from this book, as well as anything else that might interest you on site are going directly to the Larkins.
So, if you can, pick up a kool collectible and help one of our own in the process!
Talk about a win-win proposition!

Flash Gordon Double Feature!

| Click on the art to enlarge |
Nice to see the comic also utilizing a rather obvious connection between Ming and the Nazis.
(You didn't think Hitler & company developed advanced tech like rockets and jets without help, did you? ;-) )

Let the cry ring out..."Have no fear! The Fans of Bronze are HERE!"
And now one of his illustrators needs help...
Terry Allan has been helping out Doc Savage/Marvel Comics/sci-fi & fantasy cover artist Bob Larkin the past couple of years doing exclusive projects trying to help Bob raise much needed cash.
Bob’s wife Fran is suffering from brain cancer and the resulting surgeries has left her less than 100%. As a result, Bob is now her full time caregiver and has had to cut back his workload to care for her.
Terry's been pulling together professionals from all over to sign books with all profits going to help the Larkin’s cover the long term costs of medications and co-pays that insurance doesn’t cover.
Among the items available...
LOST SAVAGE: Larkin's Bantam Doubles/Ominibus covers presented the way they should have been!
14 11x17" prints composited from the original art with the classic Bantam paperback cover design / trade dress! Comes in an embossed portfolio.
Available as either 1) signed set or 2) signed with original sketch collection!
The first commercial release of the series, remixed, remasted and restored to full stereo.
(Far superior to the internet downloads!)
PLUS: A new documentary with behind-the-scenes interviews!
AND: A limited-edition 12 x 13 litho of the cover art only thru Fantom Press!
There's lots more, including original art, lithos (like the one at top), and signed Doc Savage books and comics by Larkin and other big-name pros.All profits go to help Bob Larkin.
Here's your chance to both help one of the greats of the sci-fi/fantasy genre AND acquire some kool kollectibles for yourself, or as Christmas presents for the SavageFan in your life!
Please repost these links where ever you can. The more who know, the better.
Let the cry ring out..."Have no fear! The Fans of Bronze are HERE!"
And they're here to help!

Vampires! Vampires! Vampires!
VAMPIRES!
Their very name causes shudders and tremors!Before the 2000s , that trembling was from fear, with the primary example being Dracula
, portrayed by everyone from Bela Lugosi
to Christopher Lee
to Louis Jourdan
to Gary Oldman
.But, today, that trembling is more often from pleasure, as studly and sexy bloodsuckers reign on movies and TV in True Blood
, Vampire Diaries
, and the Twilight
series!
Plus, a Vampires! 2011 12-Month Calendar!
If you're looking for a birthday or holiday present for a fan of the life-impaired (or a treat for yourself), why not combine one of our kool kollectibles with one of the books or DVDs below for the ultimate ghoulish gift set?(And, yes, a WEREWOLVES collection is coming shortly!)
