Design of the Week--The Silver Age Captain Marvel

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
This week,a Lichtenstein-style pop-art rendering of the 1960s version of Captain Marvel!
No, not the Golden Age hero who said "SHAZAM!" or the several Marvel comics characters who've used the name, but an alien android who yelled "SPLIT!" and then broke into several pieces which flew around operating independently! (I'm not kidding!)
The vintage art also features the Ben-Day dot pattern for the skin tone that Roy Lichtenstein popularized in his "pop art" paintings of the period.
It's retro-style fun on a host of kool kollectibles, but only for a week, so grab them while you can!
Next Friday, it'll be history, just like the 1960s!

Return of the Ants, Man!

The ants who were previously in the kitchen are now in the bathroom!
Tomorrow, Design of the Week...

Happy Cinco De Mayo...

...from

Senorita Rio

and

The Cisco Kid (and Pancho!)

Remember Sky Captain, the FIRST BlueScreen / CGI Flick? (Part 2)

To continue from my rant yesterday...

Now, how could a movie with Angelina Jolie looking incredibly-hot in black leather...

...Bai Ling equally hot in black leather and spandex...

...and really kool retro-styled cgi fighter aircraft fail?

Because they miscast the title character!

Instead of a strong, handsome, physical type like George Clooney or Ewan McGregor...we got pretty-boy Jude Law.

Picture Roger Moore instead of Sean Connery as the first James Bond.

Would the 007 series have lasted from 1962 to today?

Don't think so!

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow had everything going for it, except a decent lead actor!
Maybe it wouldn't have been as big as Avatar, but it could have at least broken even!

Thanks for letting me vent.
Back to the usual tomorrow...

Remember Sky Captain, the FIRST BlueScreen / CGI Flick?

'Way before Avatar, there was another big-budget flick featuring fantastic CGI enviroments,

futuristic technology

and weird creatures,

all done with blue-screen and cgi...

It was...

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

(as if you couldn't guess...)

and, it could have been one of the biggest hits of all time, except they let this man...

Jude Law, 

star as the title character!

More tomorrow...
