After at #dccomics, my next #mikemayhewstudio25thanniversary milestone was my first comic series #zorro for #toppscomics. Never before had I launched a series with #1, been responsible for pencilling 24-28 pages a month, or had such a hand in creating all new characters like #machete, #moonstalker, and #ladyrawhide to be part of #zorrosrenegades. With #blackpanther and #killraven writer #donmcgregor at the helm I was ready to ride. Forever grateful to legendary comics editor @jimsalicrup for connecting me with Don. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq--I08haD7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cgqoz1jp3tro

Don McGregor, Billy Graham, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Rich Buckler, Klaus Hanson - Black Panther: Panther's Rage (1966-76) Collecting a bunch of issues starring the Black Panther spanning a decade and starting with 2 issues of Avengers (#52-53) of the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby run and then jumping to the full Don McGregor run in Jungle Stories (#6-24) in the mid 70s. The Lee/Kirby issues introduce the Panther but are really not essential, what is essential reading not only for fans of marvel, but fans of comics in general is the McGregor run. Not only does it include a 12 issue arc developing Wakanda and its backstory, as well as developing T'Challa's character and his relation to others such as Killmonger with a storyline that has much in common with the story from the recent film. It is also a deeply political collection of issues, for the issues set in Wakanda for example there is a single white character, a henchman of Killmonger, Venomm, who doesn't even appear frequently for the whole arc as he spends most of it in jail. It's truly afrocentric, set in an African nation populated by black characters who are self-sufficient and self assured, racism isn't even an issue here as in Wakanda it would make no sense. In contrast to a vision of a developed African nation we get the following arc, which goes on until the end of the book where the Panther goes to the South of the US and gets involved in fighting the KKK. The whole book is great, amazing layouts and art, particularly by Billy Graham and truly revolutionary writing by McGregor, a true essential.

"Anyplace I Hang Myself Is Home" is I SPY's origin story of how Scotty and Kelly met in Spy School. It's an episode most fans of the series will enjoy. There is an intriguing setup that has Scotty seeing Rodin's The Thinker statuary in San Francisco, and a series of mental visual flashes evoked by [...]

For some people, their favorite episode of I Spy is “The Warlord.” For many others, it is “Home to Judgment.” This script is certainly Robert Culp’s most personal writing, based as it was on the grandfather he loved so dearly. Thomas Wolfe’s line “you can’t go home again” may have become a catch-phrase for some, but Robert Culp’s script indicates you can go home again, but when you do, you will not be the same person you were when you get there.

How many times in the last three decades have I read that the Western is dead. as if the person writing the words has it as epitaph engraved onto a stone tombstone. The Western has not died in cinema (and I am including here, radically, movies and television). The Western was around when film started [...]
