I’m a wee bit afraid of the ocean. There is no official phobia involved, just my sense of logic. You see, there are too many critters that can get you. Simple as that. I’m not keen on stepping foot into the world’s largest death trap just for fun. I’ll let others get their jollies mingling… Continue reading Two Staple Gold: Namor The Sub Mariner #1

Two Staple Gold: Superman #349
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.

The majority of stories published between ’56-’70 had to flirt with… Continue reading Two Staple Gold: The Flash #163

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

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. That’s all fine and dandy but I prefer to think of him as the villain who made Clamdiggers cool. Some of you may refer… Continue reading Two Staple Gold: Showcase #55
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
