TorchWood Returns...

The survivors of TorchWood gain new allies as they face a new...threat?
On Miracle Day, a day unlike any other...no one dies!
The next day...no one dies!
The day after that...no one dies!
Death has been defeated!
But, is that good...or bad?
The two remaining members of the weird phenemomena-investigating TorchWood Institute must find out, especially since one of them, Captain Jack Harkness, who previously was immortal, learns he's literally the only person on Earth who can die!
Catch the excitement starting this Friday on Starz!
Even if you've never seen the show on BBC America or the dvd/blu-ray releases, the first episode of Miracle Day gives you enough background "on the fly" to follow with no problem, so don't be afraid to dive in! (Hey, it never stopped you from enjoying Star Wars or Star Trek, did it?)

YouTube Wednesday: CAPTAIN AMERICA!

The Living Legend of World War II is coming to movie screens on July 22nd...

But Cap's been popping up on movie screens since 1944!

Yeah, there's no Red Skull, or Bucky, or shield, or even wings on his cowl!

But DAMN, that's exciting!

Cap's next appearance was on TV, as part of the Marvel SuperHeroes Show...

...which used the actual Jack Kirby artwork (as well as Stan Lee's scripts) for the most-accurate adaptations EVER from comics to film/TV!

In the late 1970s, with successful live-action series featuring both the Hulk and Spider-Man running on CBS, Marvel tried pilots of other characters including Dr Strange and Captain America...

In fact, they tried Cap twice...

..but despite the presence of legendary baddie actor Christopher Lee, the show never went to series.

Cap continued to guest-star on other animated shows, but his next solo appearance was in 1990.

Don't remember it?

It's ok, no one else does, either!

See you at the movies...

Reading Room: SPACE WESTERN Strong Bow in "Return of the Aztecs"

One of the "Space Vigilantes" takes center stage...

...as Strong Bow meets up with Aztecs from the stars in this tale from Space Western Comics #42 that could've inspired Chariots of the Gods!

Like Doc Savage's or The Shadow's aides, Spurs' associates can certainly handle themselves against aliens, or Commies, or any other threat when the boss is out of town!
Penciled and inked by versatile artist John Belfi, who did a little of everything for almost every comic publisher in the 40s-50s before moving over to newspaper syndicate work both on strips and editorial illustration.

There's more Space Western Comics action to come as we lead-up to the opening of the summer flick Cowboys & Aliens.
We're offering a line of Space Western collectibles, perfect for summer wear at the beach, or the movie theatre when you go see Cowboys & Aliens. (C'mon, you know you're going!)

Happy 4th of July with the Living Legend of World War II!
