TwoMorrows Publishing presents the 54th issue of its Back Issue magazine that looks back at some of the best comic books and characters from the past. Included are interviews and articles about the creators that made them. In issue #54 the theme of the book theme is Liberated Ladies and who better to star on the cover than DC Comics’ Big Barda? First up is a retrospective of Big Barda, her appearances and black and white and color art from the many artists who have drawn her over the years. They include Jack Kirby, Michael Golden, John Byrne and others. Valkyrie was an instant hit when she first appeared in Marvel Comics. Her appearance in the Hulk and especially The Avengers titles made her a fan favorite. When she teamed with the Lady Liberators her popularity grew. She is still a popular character today recently appearing (in altered form) in Marvels’ Ultimates title. Ms. Marvel was Marvel’s female version of Captain Marvel. Her Kree spawned powers pitted her against various interstellar villains. Mystique stole her powers and Ms. Marvel was temporarily absent from comic books until her reappearance in the avengers. Other female superstars are the woman who both write and draw comic books. Back Issue looks back over the stellar careers of Barbara Kesel, Gail Simone and Jill Thompson. Examples of their work are shown throughout the magazine. A favorite non-super-powered heroine is Starfire. Her short, but pivotal run of issue is examined accompanied with art from various artists. Without a doubt Marvel Girl/Phoenix/Dark Phoenix is one of the most powerful and popular female characters ever created for comic books. Since her first appearance in The Uncanny X-Men, Marvel Girl (Jean Grey) has been killed and brought back form death more than most other comic book characters in the history of the medium. Art by jack Kirby, Dave Cockrum, John Byrne complement the extensive article. Last, but never last, comes She-Hulk. Introduced in the Bronze Age, She-Hulk is almost as popular as her male counterpart, the Hulk. Read why the Emerald Giantess is still so popular with fans.

My wife and I went to see the Thor movie the other night and while she enjoyed it I really enjoyed it! I'm a big fan of Marvel Comics' Thor comic book-especially the Jack Kirby Thor with Walt Simonson's version coming in a distant second. Jack Kirby captured the hugeness of the vast Asgardian realm with spectacular structures, elaborately dressed warriors, sinister demons and villains and an epic representation of the entire magical scope of the mystical realm. The Thor movie from Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios tinkers around with Thor's origin a little but the meat of the Thunder God's beginnings are there. The story opens with Odin (Thor and Loki's father) telling them stories of valor and honor. Later in their lives the time arrived for Thor to take his rightful place as heir to the throne since he is the elder of the two sons. When Frost Giants attempt to steal back a relic Thor and the Warriors Three, along with Lady Sif, travel to the Frost Giant's land in order to make them pay for their crime-against the Odin's explicit orders not to. Thor winds up being banished to Earth for his disobedience and stripped of his power with his hammer separated from him. And.....well, go see the movie yourself-you won't be disappointed. Marvel Studios and Disney's Thor Official Movie Special is jam-packed with photos, interviews, quizzes, games, puzzles, a Thor timeline, a special two-part comic book story leading into the film, a Who's Who of characters and much more. Like Thor, it's big, its bold and it packs plenty of punch! "For Asgard!"

If you’ve never taken the opportunity to read The Magazine Of Fantasy & Science Fiction then I
recommend you do so. How can you go
wrong with a magazine that’s been around as long and has accomplished
publishing 695 issues?
If you are inept at fixing and building things as I am-especially anything requiring wiring, electricity or mechanical skills, then Make magazine is just what you need. Issue #26 of Make is filled with all sorts of build-it-yourself projects anyone can do-even the assembly required challenged. It's technology on your time and that's just the way I like it. Projects include building a Drill Kart, a Longboard, a Motorbike, a Racer and lots more. Add to your knowledge with how-to articles by some of the industry's most talented engineers, mechanics, carpenters and other craftsmen and experts. Think of Make as a modern version of Mechanics Illustrated created for
those of us with two left hands, fumbling fingers, less than brilliant minds
and technology challenged. What's
even better is it makes learning fun and easy to understand. My kind of magazine!
From 007 Double – O – Seven Magazine Archive Files comes a very special Deluxe Limited Edition Publication examining the very first James Bond file staring Roger Moore in the lead role.

I remember when
the 1970s arrived and I found out that Sean Connery was returning to the role
of James Bond in the next film in the series, Diamonds Are Forever, in
1971. I was thrilled. When the film came out I was
overjoyed. It may not have been the
best Connery Bond film but it was still excellent escapist fun. In 1973 Roger
Moore took over the role of Bond. I
like There were too
many gadgets, gimmicky getaways and glib gabbing. The women however. Ahh,
the women. The Bond Women of that era
were gorgeous and you can see them all in 007 Double - O - Seven Magazine
Archive Files: The James Bond Girls #2 The 1970s from each film in candid
shots, studio stills and behind-the-scenes photos. Included with
each film synopsis and interesting Bond facts are lots and lots of photos of
not only the women but the other key characters, locations and much, much
more form each film. Jill St. John as
Tiffany Case from Diamonds Are Forever shows off her package on the cover
while on the back cover Britt Exland as Mary Goodnight from The Man With The
Golden Gun shows off her 'ample talent'.

To me the best
James Bond films were the ones made in the 1960s. Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You
Only Live Twice and On Her Majesty's Secret Service were the ultimate
expression of the excessive 1960s. Perhaps the
biggest draw of all of the movies, besides the film's star Sean Connery
(sorry George), was the women. James
Bond women were 'bigger' than life (forgive the pun), sexy, seductive,
vulnerable but strong, innocent and yet provocative and almost surreal in
their femininity. 007 Double - O - Seven Magazine
Archive Files: The James Bond Girls #1 The 1960s, looks at the Bond feminine
phenomenon. Resplendent with black and white and color photographs of some of
the most beautiful women ever seen on the movie screen, the magazine is a
visual gallery of gorgeous gals. A synopsis of each
of the aforementioned films is provided including insights and
behind-the-scenes information about each movie. Captioned photos briefly describe each female role. I really enjoyed reading about each movie
and I learned a few new facts and secrets about each film. It's a beautiful magazine filled with high gloss photos and printed on
heavy paper stock with enticing full-color front and back photo covers of
Daniela Bianchi and Claudine Auger. |
