SHANNA THE SHE-DEVIL mini series by Frank Cho (Liberty Meadows) will be coming out late this year (just in time for Shanna's 30th anniversary, late 1972!) This...
I never knew of course that Shanna was an homage/rip-off of Sheena of the Jungle way back when I first encountered the book in Marvel's ill- fated attempt to...
Just in case anyone out there who missed it, Cap and Subby clash briefly yet again in the last couple of issues of The Order. The Order is the unsuccessful...
I have a lot of fondness for Shanna, having collected every full appearance by her, except for the short run in Marvel Comics Presents. Here is the Shanna...
Dean, Granted, all "jungle gals" do owe something to Sheena (who, interestingly enough, first appeared in the Australian 'Wags' magazine), but Sheena is...
The 1970's brought back a lot of genres not seen since the Marvel's Golden Age. This was a time when horror monsters, barbarians, bad girls, sorcerors, and...
As I recollect reading somewhere, Marvel was able to expand so dramatically at this time because they had at last gotten free of the stranglehold DC had on...
I didn't see Shanna's Marvel Presents series on your list. If perchance you haven't seen those several issues of that bi-weekly comic, I highly recommend it....

I don't have the Marvel Presents issues or the recent Captain America jungle arc (from two years back?) where Shanna was last seen. Could you spoil those...
Howard, it is clear you liked Bruce Jones' take on Ka-Zar. Shanna's role in the development of the Plunder clan must have agreed with you. That 1980's series...
... the ... Isn't it great that we collectors now have the Grand Comics Database as a free informational resource? For longtime enthuiasts especially, who want...
I did this for the Archive board over on the DC MBs and thought I'd share. It's the rundown for a possible Golden Age Cap Masterworks series. I'll likely be...
Good work. You should try building a CAPTAIN AMERICA website, now that you have a complete list of Cap's Golden Age appearances! I *REALLY* wish Marvel would...
Good question, Earth. Roy Thomas once wrote that Sub-Mariner had had the most golden age appearances, but I don't know if arrived at that figure by adding...
It would be interesting to make a headcount of all Golden Age appearances made by Cap, Namor and the Torch. I'm fairly certain Roy Thomas printed all of...
... Roy ... columns ... TORCH. ... I wish I had those checklist, which would simplify the task. Captain America appeared in his own title, of course, some...
And to think that I once imagined Spidey to be overexposed! Clearly Timely was dead certain to milk as much mileage out of its three superstars as possible. I...
I've read that John Byrne will be going back to his very successful Elseworld's project Generations with a year-long 12-month series featuring more stories...
Alex Schomburg was they premiere cover artist at Timely (and elsewhere) during the Golden Age. Without doubt Alex Ross is the premiere cover artist of modern...
Dean, Would I want to see a multi-part project involving the Timely heroes? Yes, I probably would. Would it be more attractive to me if it was written and...
... Absolutly! Alex was not "just" a cover artist, he was also a trained fine artist and illustrator! He is best known for his covers of course,and he executed...
I would imagine most of us here have an affection for some or all of the period typically referred to as the Golden Age of Comics. What I wonder is if that...
... There is a lot of affection for these characters, but in some it borders on an almost obsessive fondness for the characters. There is no room to accept ...
Great point! I agree that often even when the comics companies do use old characters, the fans often get miffed if there is even the slightest alterations from...
That heading is misleading since the Bucky and Toro I'm talking about are the girl and the man-bull who currently use the names in the Marvel Universe. Both...

I'm really looking forward to this mini-series. Surely it can only enhance the backstory in the same way as the four-issue "The Adventures of Captain America...
