Hectic Engine: FIRESIDE Part 1: Origin of Marvel Comics
http://www.hecticengine.com/2014/05/fireside-part-1.html
Words Pictures = The New Idea. Monday, May 19, 2014. FIRESIDE Part 1: Origin of Marvel Comics. Marvel released what may be the prototype of today’s “graphic novel” in 1974 through a collaboration with Simon and Schuster’s imprint Fireside. The Hulk is next in line, again following a plurality of punchy pontification from Lee. Issue 1, another raw pseudo-monster comic leads the chapter. The tragedy of the Hulk/Banner Hyde and Jekyll dichotomy is present, but not fully evolved. In the original ...View my c...

Hectic Engine: May 2014

Words Pictures = The New Idea. Monday, May 19, 2014. FIRESIDE Part 2: Son of Origins. The success of 1974's Origins of Marvel Comics lead to a follow-up volume in 1975. Cleverly named “Son of Origins of Marvel Comics (by Stan Lee)” featured the second wave of Marvel’s 1960s heroes. Roughly all the highlights from 1965-1968. I picked the boxed edition up in March 2014 for $35 (coupon! And could not be happier with the set. The boxed version has random printings stuffed together in a Grandma friendly B...

You are welcome to share anything you find on this site. Please link back to jimrigby.org. An open letter to the women of Texas. I say hand delivered because it was clear that the author of the bill could barely read it. The talking head in a pink dress proposing to control women’s reproductive health care could barely pronounce the parts of a woman’s anatomy. Her now infamous quote that rape kits clean a woman out should not be reduced to a joke. This ignorance will kill real women. But I am not writing...

Hectic Engine: FIRESIDE: Part 4: The Superhero Women
http://www.hecticengine.com/2014/06/fireside-part-4-superhero-women.html
Words Pictures = The New Idea. Wednesday, June 4, 2014. FIRESIDE: Part 4: The Superhero Women. The Superhero Women was a very honest effort to demonstrate that Marvel had a wide variety of female characters, every bit as innovative as their male heroes and villains. As no female villains made it into the previous “Bad Guys” volume, one slips in here. Hela, goddess of death faces Thor in a Lee/Buscema outing. This seems to be done concurrently to their Silver Surfer collaborations....The Cat #1 really is ...

The City of Smoking Mirrors. Friday, January 17, 2014. We live in the valley of the moon. Charlotte Osborne and her two sons lived in the Spanish-style brown stucco at the end of the cul-de-sac, where the alley also ended. Across the street and the cause for the cul-de-sac was a Lutheran Seminary. In that neighborhood, people came and went, students, immigrants, missionaries. In fact, her neighbor was a professor at the seminary as had been her husband. It was probably a colder day in early march Minneso...
