Since the earliest days of the National Basketball Association’s existence, big men dominated the game. Starting in the late 1940’s when the league discovered it’s first superstar in George Mikan who was the prototype of the NBA center, giants ruled the court. Mikan looked like Clark Kent on stilts, with his dark rimmed glasses, but [...]
Here's Hawkman papercraft from the professor. The original Hawkman first appeared in Flash Comics #1 back in 1940. The Golden Age Hawkman was Carter Hall, an archeologist who was the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian prince, Khufu. He and Hawkgirl used the same tools displayed in his museum to fight crime.Hawkman Papercraft
As a child I read the Beano, but I don’t think that counts as an old comic, but by the time I am old I’m sure they will be worth a fair sum of money. There is a fantastic DC Golden Age Comic Collection up for sale on eBay for a great price (and [...]

Turns out that Joe DiMaggio wasn’t the only New York Yankee to get a larger than life Hollywood actress. According to a new biography about Doris Day, in 1962 a married Mickey Mantle visited the set of the film That Touch Of Mink starring a married Doris Day. He was on the set because he [...]
My husband has tons of comics! So, I made this funky bracelet featuring vintage art from the golden age of comic books. Teenage romance comics and good girl art are drawn in the pin up tradition in the 1940s. The sterling silver bezels were used to mimic the look of vintage typewriter keys. Printed with archival materials, the images were then protected by a clear resin. Tags: jewelryYou can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS feed.
So, I watched Elizabeth: The Golden Age, sequel to 1998's Elizabeth. Well, I can say alot of the critics were right: it was over produced. But the costumes were gorgeous. Absolutely.Also, the plot seemed so choppy-going from one scene to the next without much transition or cohesion-And Mary Stuart? She had about five minutes in the entire movie. I expected to see more of that character.As for Clive Owen-as much as I don't like him as an actor-he was pretty good.Overall, it all seemed a little off as far as a sequel goes.

In the heart of downtown Vancouver, right on Granville St. you can find the Nerd Nirvana known as Golden Age Collectables. These guys carry more manga, anime, graphics novels and figures than you’d ever care to know existed. When I was in Vancouver on business recently I picked up a copy of NextWave here and blogged about how awesome it is. This place is jam-packed full of awesomeness of such magnitude as NextWave. They also had probably everything Neil Gaiman has ever written, including more obscure stuff like the edition of Sandman with art from Yoshitaka Amano. For those that don’t know; Mr. Amano was the concept artist for all the Final Fantasy games up until X. His brilliant artistry and unique style is well known in Otakudom. (more…)

Ian at Brave New Traveler bookmarked an article from the San Francisco Chronicle titled, "OK, we get it: No place is as good as it used to be." I had to check it out, because the title reminded me of a comment I left on Ian's blog back in March:"I read an article once, written by an expat in Rome who had lived there over 30 years. He talked about how it seemed like every 10 years, someone will tell him how awful Rome is compared to the last time they had visited. It was an interesting idea. When is the golden age of a place? People who go right now for the first time might love it, but hate it in 10 years. People who went 10 years ago and loved it, might hate it now."John Flynn, the author of the SFC article, describes a phenomenon that he names "the Kathmandu Syndrome: Every place used to be better, at least in the eyes of those who were there then. Now all these places are blighted, charmless, overcrowded and hopelessly touristy." Some of it might be due to the highly competitiv
Cultures Real Vulture?Nearly a week has passed since Tony Blair’s cringe inducing ‘Golden Age of Art’ speech at the Tate modern. In typical New Labour style he stole the clothes, hijacked the moment and used the arts as shield to his countless failings as Prime minister. Oh Tony did you think that a few ill chosen lines aimed at the intellectual vanity of the anointed few would heal a decade of artistic reticence?Reaction since then has been mixed as spin and flannel flog the issue to a timely death. The most interesting opinion (as always) comes via the countless blog entries and their thought provoking comments. Here are two which reflect a certain (though not necessarily my own) dissatisfied ‘perspective’…“Art is fine but it doesn't stop people getting shot, bombed, gassed, incinerated and generally physically rearranged on a massive scale simply for being in a country that we wish to control. Some might even say that an increased interest in the arts is part of the g
The following Q&A with Laduma Nguyuza (myriad aliases to be
introduced shortly) was conducted in mid-January. I'd initially
asked Laduma if he'd be open to a discussion of
freestyling--responding to a series of questions that had occurred
to me after catching
a Soul Sessions "topical battle" in December. While there was
plenty of technique-parsing,the conversation was ultimately much
broader. So it also serves to preview madisonhiphop.com's
