MARVEL’S STAR WARS MOVIES REMASTERED, Marvel Sci-Fi 2015 (Ben) – CBTM081
Marvel has re-colored it’s classic adaptations of the Star Wars original trilogy. Does it work? Is it worth buying? Is it just a cash grab, or does it make sense for them to create these “special editions”? And what other extras did they dig up to include within these hardcovers? Ben …
Marvel’s Star Wars Movies Remastered (2015) – MCC062

SPORES AND SKULLS FROM SPACE! Marvel Sci-Fi, May 1978 (Ben) – CBTM080
Looking at all the Marvel licensed books cover dated May 1978, Ben reads: the beginning of a new Star Wars epic; the beginning of a new John Carter epic; Human Fly’s team up (sort of) with Daredevil; Godzilla’s battle with a giant bigfoot; the Man from Atlantis’ battle with some spores; and Kirby’s Machine …
Two Second Sensational Senses Shattering Issues! (Ben’s Bullpen Bulletin, May 1978) – MCC061
We take a look inside the covers of the May 1978 books — the ads, the copy-pages, a Twinkie ad — and then open the pages of Jack Kirby’s two 2001 successors: Machine Man and Devil Dinosaur!
Fortress of Bones! (John Carter: Warlord of Mars #12, May 1978) – MCC060
In a Gothic, bio-horror tale, John Carter and Tars Tarkis enter a fortress made of bones and skulls and face evil warriors also made of bones and skulls! (Or, I guess you could call them skeletons…)
Freely Adapted! (Man from Atlantis #4, May 1978) – MCC059
It’s Mark Harris, the Man from Atlantis, vs. mind controlling spores from outer space!
Sort of Guest Starring Daredevil! (Human Fly #9, May 1978) – MCC058
“…And Daredevil Makes Three” is a GREAT example…of a terrible team up. Take three heroes who have nothing to do with each other and then don’t let them interact and this is what you get.
Really BIG Bigfoot! (Godzilla #10, May 1978) – MCC057
Using Star Wars as a guideline, we’re exploring comic books based on licensed properties that Marvel Comics published from 1977 to 1986. It’s Godzilla vs. Bigfoot! (A really, really BIG Bigfoot…but don’t let the name “Yetrigar” fool you…he’s Bigfoot!)
Star Search! (Star Wars #11, May 1978) – MCC056
The continuing adventures, well, continue in “Star Search”! What is the fate of Luke from his ill-fated mission? What became of Princess Leia’s rescue mission? And will Han Solo and Chewie join the gang soon?
