For many reasons–not all of them voluntary–I’ve taken it easy on these alerts while Marvel University was “merely” re-presenting some of my BOF posts, albeit with snazzy visuals, and I was commenting irregularly on their own impressive work, but from now on, I’ll be taking an increasingly active role. Starting today, and for the foreseeable future, I’ll be one of the actual “talking heads” on several of the strips that I’m revisiting in a variety of paperback collections (to which, unlike my actual comic books, I have ready access at the moment), so you’ll be able to see my musings there every Wednesday. If, as planned, M.U. continues past its original 1960s mandate, I will actually take the point by providing synopses for Marvel Team-Up and Marvel Two-in-One, as well as weighing in on various other books; meanwhile, once Bond is behind me, I hope to write at least three more of my Sunday “Snapshots” as well.
Excelsior!
>>I will actually take the point
and, may I say, Professor Bradley, that it is certainly about time.
Man cannot live by Matheson and Bond alone (I know you try…).
As I said to a friend earlier today, I feel myself moving inexorably from a Matheson phase into a Bond phase into a Marvel phase…who knows what will be next?
Time to pick up box sets of Twilight Zone and Combat is all I’m sayin’
