Superman, the world’s greatest superhero. Without Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s creation all of us may have lived crummy lives. Other powered beings have appeared in literature throughout the ages but Superman was a fucking rock star. Creating the model which all our costumed heroes we love were formed, I will always tip my hat to… Continue reading Two Staple Gold: Superman #349

Two Staple Gold: The Flash #163
“I like weird and wacky!” No, this isn’t the password to get into the fetish club downtown. Ahem… I think. Rather, It’s a statement that tends to be uttered at least once by every fan of the Silver Age. It’s also remarkably true. The majority of stories published between ’56-’70 had to flirt with… Continue reading Two Staple Gold: The Flash #163
Two Staple Gold: Frankenstein Monster #8
Halloween is here! Can’t say I’m much of the celebrating type considering my childhood was spent decked out in flammable plastic…and handing out candy to other kids. All dressed up with nowhere to go. Thanks Mom, for making an 8 year old man the door. Don’t feel bad. I’ve more than made up for it… Continue reading Two Staple Gold: Frankenstein Monster #8
Two Staple Gold: Showcase #55
Solomon Grundy born on a Monday, died on a Saturday. Every article written about him starts with the nursery rhyme. It’s officially part of his origin and immediately recognized by fans.

The last issue was published in January. I for one, have been patiently waiting to catch up with the complex citizens of Craw County… Continue reading Southern Bastards #17 REVIEW
Two Staple Gold: House of Mystery #148
House of Mystery has long been associated with horror but it actually featured superhero stories from #143- #173. Martian Manhunter aka J’onn J’onzz was the main attraction for the majority of that span. He’s always confused me a little. Not the character overall but rather his popularity. The dude is a straight up heavy hitter… Continue reading Two Staple Gold: House of Mystery #148
TWO STAPLE GOLD: GHOST RIDER #16
I fucking love Jaws. Enough so that I open up this column using a cuss when describing one of my favorite movie franchises. When I stumbled upon this issue of Ghost Rider #16 and saw the tease on the cover, I had to check it out. As I write this we are smack dab… Continue reading TWO STAPLE GOLD: GHOST RIDER #16
