We’re going to do some link blogging this week! I know what you’re saying. “You’re still moving, Josh?!” Honestly, I actually left my copy of Previews at the store and I really didn’t feel like driving back just to get it to write a column. Let’s see what I can find and babble about this week (as Dog The Bounty Hunter plays in the background).
Be sure to take a peek at the The Illustrious Omnibus of Super Powers. While an argument could be made about, say, Iron Fist’s placement not with the Mastery of Martial Arts, it’s still pretty epic.

I have to admit, it was the Frank Frazetta covers that convinced me to order the complete series of John Carter of Mars books from the Science Fiction Book Club. The visuals were so compelling as was the pedigree, that of Edgar Rice Burroughs, who I knew created Tarzan. I had seen movies and read the comics, but had never read ERB’s prose so I had to have these. And I still do. On the other hand, I only managed to make my way through the first two because as imaginative as Burroughs was, he was not that great a prose stylist.
