Soon as I find my motivation. It's on an extended hiatus.
Don't sit around waiting for it to return, Seany. Go hunt it down! It's probably hanging out in seedy bars, goddamn low-life good-fer-nothing motivation.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Shrift, I'm now crippled with laughter. For the record.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Jonathan Lethem on Jack Kirby.
Cool beans. Not least because he's writing about the dead center of my comics fanatacism (in the mid-seventies, I literally bought every single Marvel and DC comic that came out. Hard to believe now, but I was able to do that on lawn mowing money and bottles returned for deposit.) Interesting that he doesn't even touch on Jack's Fourth World stories at DC (my favorite, and certainly a huge impact on DC continuity, since in Darkseid Superman finally got another villain worthy of him).
Also? I got to shake Jack Kirby's hand once.

And here's another Buffy figure surprise -
Buffy Palz. They're like block figures. Scroll down to see some of them. Most bizarre.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I was wondering about that, too, because I also thought the Fourth World was Kirby's best stuff. The issue where he finally showed the origins of Orion and Scott Free was amazing.
The comics Karl and I actually relished in 1976 and 1977, if we were honest (and Karl was more honest than me), were The Defenders, Omega the Unknown and Howard the Duck, all written by a mad genius called Steve Gerber, and Captain Marvel and Warlock, both written and drawn by another auteur briefly in fashion, Jim Starlin.
And in this, Lethem is me, because they were my two favorite Marvel writers. (Starlin did the Moth story in the first issue of The Escapist.)

You also had titles like Killraven, Conan, Master of Kung Fu and Tomb of Dracula all having very long runs with cool writing and art in that period.
The Defenders was bitchin' though.
