Galaxy Rangers Episodes on YouTube

My longtime friends, readers, and fans know that when I was in middle school, one of my favorite cartoons was the space western Galaxy Rangers.

What do you think of Vertigo's Django Comic?

 Some of the spirited debate surrounding Tarantino's ultraviolent blaxploitation/spaghetti western Django Unchainedhas died down, but thankfully DC/Vertigo is keeping the party going by publishing an adaptation of Tarantino's original screenplay for the slavery era shoot-em-up. Here's some pages from issue 3, which is in stores already...

You had me at "6 Gun Gorilla"...

"First and foremost, 6 Gun Gorilla is a Western..." says writer Si Spurrier of the new genre-bending pulp revival comic he's working on with artist Jeff Stokely.  "There are a few things about it which make that description seem a bit unlikely: it's abstractly set in the future, the majority of the action occurs on another world, the central character has had groundbreaking surgery to turn him into a psychic TV-camera for the thrill-junkies watching back home and, yes, it prominently features a 500-pound gorilla with a pair of enormous guns. But, despite appearances, it oozes Western..."

PREVIEW: Django Unchained #1 (cover by Jim Lee & Alex Sinclair)

In preparation for the film's release on Christmas Day, Vertigo is dropping the comic book adaptation of the script for Quentin Tarantino's western Django Unchained later this month, complete with Jim Lee cover...

I just copped a New Kindle book- "BadAzz Mofo's Book of Spaghetti Westerns" by David F Walker

I admit it: David Walker knows more than me about movies. That's why I was excited to see his book BadAzz MoFo's Book of SPAGHETTI WESTERNS available for the paltry sum of just $3 on Amazon!

DVD REVIEW- "White Scripts and Black Supermen" directed by Jonathan Gayes, PhD

White Scripts and Black Supermen cover art by John Jennings.
In college I minored in Social Science, a combination of Sociology and Psychology. This facilitated lots of ruminating on race, and the the many ways we talk about it as individuals and as a society. Also being a card-carrying comicbook nerd enthusiast, I jumped for joy at the thought of White Scripts and Black Supermen, a documentary featuring scholarly discourse focused on the genesis of black superheroes at all-white companies like Marvel and DC...

PREVIEW: Sam Jackson's Cold Space

Sam Jackson's back as Mulberry, a space-faring loose cannon looking out for numero uno in his new comic Cold Space. He's co-writing with his Afro Samurai homie Eric Calderon, and they're putting it down pretty good in this space western type joint. Jackson's character doesn't appear much in this preview, but you'll get the point...

Macho Libre

Master of the Seas by Rafael Gallur
I just discovered the work of Mexican artist Rafael Gallur on DeviantArt.com recently. I can't tell you much  about him, except that his work is all traditional materials (i'm thinking gouache and acrylic for these painted joints) and he has done lots of work for Western and Luchador comics (like this comic page he did for Arena Magazine ). His painted covers are bonkers! here's some favorites below...
