Probably you know that the Superman movie by James Gunn is premiering next week!

But here's a wrinkle you may not have heard:

You can see the movie THREE DAYS BEFORE Opening Day!

If you have Amazon Prime, you are eligible to buy tickets to see Superman in the theater three days early!

Well-kept secret, right?

The details are over here, and enjoy!

Chicago Alternative Comics Expo 2025

 

 

CAKE

It has been my pleasure to attend this Expo for each of the last few years and I will attend again this upcoming weekend.

The creators of independent comics each sit at their own table and talk to their fans. There are no mainstream publishers in attendance and there is no cosplay! People talk to people and look at each other's artwork. This is what the earliest comic book conventions were like, and attending CAKE is a little like taking a step into the past! 

If you're in the neighborhood next weekend, check it out!

Jack Kirby's 1972 SDCC

 

Did you know that Jack Kirby drew the program book cover for the 1972 San Diego Comicon?

Kamandi and The Demon were the gentleman's new creations fro DC Comics that year, and in this drawing you get to see those two dancing and leaping about, as well as a more static Merlin (who appeared prominently in The Demon #1).

Nice, right?!

Jack Kirby as The Demon

 

Doesn't this face of Etrigan the Demon look a bit like Mr. Jack Kirby himself?

 I'm not sure if artist Steve Ellis designed the character that way intentionally, but all that's missing is the cigar!
