Okay, you are probably wondering what those other comic related roles are. I mean, when you look at Superman from a superficial story driven view he is right but when you talk about the post - Crisis Superman from the John Byrne comics or Lois & Clark - The New Adventures Of Superman Clark is the real person and Superman is the disguise. The first candidate in our Dearly Departed section is David Carradine who more comic connections than when he talked about Superman in Kill Bill. God, after the latest DC flicks I get really nostalgic about those movies and if you feel the same here is a fan made trailer for Batman V Superman starring Michael Keaton, Christopher Reeve and a surprise guest star.
Okay, what´s wrong with me ? She was Vicki Vale in the very first Batman movie with Michael Keaton, duh. My brain really is like a giant sieve because I was going over Kim Basinger´s imdb file to see if there were any other comic related roles she had done besides Cool World - which I admittedly still haven´t seen in it´s entirety - that I could mention in connection with her 63rd birthday. The reason for that is that we talked about Neil Gaiman and he was on a booksigning tour together with Martin Semmelrogge in 2003 and you can find a sampling of Neil Gaiman´s Martin Semmelrogge poems on Neil Gaiman´s blog. I also have to mention german actor Martin Semmelrogge who turns 61 and is best known for his role in Roland Emmerich´s Das Boot. He also played Charlie Pace on Lost and I totally forgot that he also played Simon Campos on Flash Forward. And I´m not talking about her rapping !ĭominic Monaghan celebrates his 40th birthday who is of course best known as Meriadoc Brandybuck or Merry in short from The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Last but not least BAVA TUESDAY takes a look at Last Laugh by Will Elder from Volume 4 of Dark Horse´s Tales From The Crypt Archive.Īfter so much gloom and doom I want to end the post on a lighter note so here is an animated GIF of Teri Hatcher´s erotic dance on TANGO & CASH.ĭaimn, Nicki has gone on record that she demands to climax every time she has sex but with her massive mammaries and oral skills I doubt any guy would have a problem with that. Our host Ghastly McNasty at BACK FROM THE DEPTHS serves up six helpings of The Theater Of Terror with Last Respects also by Graham Ingels from Tales From The Crypt 3, Political Pull againby Graham Ingels from Tales From The Crypt 26, The Bath by Bernie Krigstein from Tales From The Crypt 42, Zombie by Johnny Craig from The Crypt Of Terror 19, Hook, Line and Stinker one last time by Graham Ingels from The Vault Of Horror 26 and as a special treat Foul Play by Jack Davis from The Haunt Of Fear 19, one of the stories responsible for the formation of the Comics Code. Of course I didn´t find the story right away so like last year here are some links to the other EC Comics stories I found during my research for the post - if all the ones you can find at THE CRYPTIC CORRIDOR are not enough - beginning with Smeghead2068 at SAVED FROM THE PAPER DRIVE who has another story from Tales From The Crypt 22, Blood Type V by Graham Ingels. Usually I don´t go for the german translations but this was a hardcover and it includes both volumes which is better to read and looks nicer on the shelf than two paperbacks. I bought a cartoon book as a Christmas gift and also the german version of the comic adaption of THE GRAVEYARD BOOK. So because I didn´t have enough money on me I had to go to a cash machine and come back to the shop. It´s really strange that even now when they have a honest to god comic book shop downstairs the really interesting comics - at least for me - are in the book store´s comic section. Strangely enough I didn´t find anything interesting there so I went back up to the regular book store section where I found several interesting books and comics.
Anyway, last week I was in Ludwigsburg for some last minute Christmas shopping at the Aigner book shop because the FANTASY STRONGHOLD has taken up shop in the lower level.
Which most of them end up in sooner or later. But because my budget is seriously limited I have to wait until they end up in the bargain books section.
Which says nothing about the quality of the graphic novel but more about my financial situation because my shopping cart is full with comics I would love to buy. Okay, maybe not just recently but it was published in two volumes and I have had it in my amazon shopping cart for months without buying it.
