This year, I had the odd experience of a pretty okay Father’s Day being bittersweet due to the death of one of my voice-over heroes, the immortal Casey Kasem.  For many people my age, it’s a toss-up as to whether Casey’s golden pipes are more recognizable from his years of hosting America’s Top 40 or from his turn as Norville “Shaggy” Rogers in the first few iterations of Scooby Doo.  Oddly for me, just the night before I got the news, Stephen and I watched ‘Ghostbusters’, which features a Kasem voice-over cameo, and the night before that I took in…

A few years ago, while working in a nearby college town, I happened to discover that their library had an amazing array of graphic novels and comic trade paperbacks.  Since my job allowed for reading time, on occasion, I made great use of their collections, including one collection of Will Eisner’s Spirit comic strips that was one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my life.  It’s been nearly ten years since that job ended, and I’ve never been able to locate that particular volume again, even on auction sites, which proved to me that it was as powerful to others…

Recently, during a heated Playstation 3 wrestling match, my daughter opined that it was “stupid confusing” that I had two separate wrestlers nicknamed ‘The King’.  I attempted to explain to her that there were only a limited number of call-signs available in the game, and that King Cobra and The Lizard King were two vastly different personalities when she dropped the real bombshell: The REAL King is the race-car voiced by Richard Petty from ‘Cars’.  She then changed her mind to say that Michael Jackson, The Late King Of Pop, was the real king, then waffled again to address King…

My latest comic review got me thinking about comics history:  When Jack Kirby left the halls of Marvel Comics at the dawn of the 70s, the King was welcomed soundly at what his partner Stan used to call ‘The Distinguished Competition’.  His first foray into the DCU burst out of that pages of ‘Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen’ of all places, but quickly set itself apart from anything seen on the comics page before.  Though there were forays by Darkseid into the greater DCU (a JLA/JSA summer crossover, the original Crisis On Infinite Earths and others), the Fourth World stayed relatively…
