Monkey Island

Under the Sea



By Nino Carbe. [The Comics Reporter]

Oil Spill Aquaman



By Kate Beaton. You should hit that link and read the cartoon about the jester too. That one makes me LOL every time I read it.

After the break: Jack Torrance arrives at the Overlook Hotel and meets Wonder Woman, Isis, Cleo, Bender, Mysta of the Moon, and Buzz Fettyear.

Movie News Roundup: "Tell It to the Cleaning Lady on Monday"

Pirates 4 gets Rushed



Barbossa's back for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. I would've bet on that early on (in fact, I could've sworn it had already been announced), but all the focus on casting Blackbeard and his daughter made me wonder if Barbossa was out. Glad to see he's not. By At World's End, I liked him even better than Sparrow. [/Film]


Voyage of the Dawn Treader trailer



The quality of the trailer isn't real good, but the movie looks fantastic. As I've said before, this ought to be my favorite in the series. [/Film]

Cleopatra



Angelina Jolie is working with producer Scott Rudin to develop (and most likely star in) a movie about everyone's favorite Egyptian queen. Apparently, this is of some concern to people who don't recall that Cleopatra was, in fact, Greek and not African. [/Film]

After the break: Musketeers, Spies, Oz, and rock'em sock'em robots.

Art Show: Poison by the Plateful!

Devil Out of the Deep



By George Gross. Illustrateurs has a ton of these Men's Adventures-type covers, each more nuts than the last. In addition to sharks, gators, tigers, rhinos, and the occasional island girl, thrill to the sight of dudes fighting turtles (with a knife!), giant otters, and weasels. Awesome.

Aquaman



By Brian Denham.

Deerslayer



By NC Wyeth. I did a lot of canoeing through gator-infested rivers with my dad and brothers as a kid, so this may not be as cool to you guys as it is to me, but Golden Age Comic Book Stories dedicated an entire post to canoe-themed art. Brings back great times.

After the break: Elektra, Zatanna, Aurora, Mary Marvel, Cleopatra, and the best Wizard of Oz ever.

Comics News: Defenders of the Earth and Space Dock 7

Together Again: The Phantom, Flash Gordon, and Mandrake the Magician



I got an email from Dynamite Entertainment last week about their now having King Features' top three characters. According to the press release, this is the first time that Phantom, Flash Gordon, and Mandrake have been under the same publisher in 43 years. Which makes for some cool crossover possibilities.

I'm mostly curious to see how they handle Flash. I know nothing about Mandrake, so they can do whatever they want with him, but I'm not at all excited about their version of the Phantom. I've heard good things about their Buck Rogers though, so maybe Flash will be okay. I hope so, 'cause I'd really like to read some new, good Flash Gordon stories.

It sounds like they'll be starting with a faithful re-telling of the origin story:

Dynamite's comic book story begins as Earth is bombarded by fiery meteors. Dr. Zarkov believes the meteors are from outer space and invents a rocket ship to locate their place of origin. Half mad, he kidnaps Flash and Dale, whose plane has crashed in the area, and the three travel to the planet Mongo, where they discover the meteors are weapons devised by Ming the Merciless, evil ruler of Mongo.

Space Dock 7



The webcomics portal that was teased back in February is live and full of awesome scifi comics including some I've mentioned here before and some I'm brand new to.

This is Not a Pipe



By Kyle Baker.

Andromeda



By Gustave Dore. [As was I, Caleb Mozzocco was struck - though much more so - by George O'Connor's accurate depiction of the Ethiopian Andromeda in his graphic novel about Athena. She's much different from the actresses who played her in the two Clash of the Titans movies and the many classical interpretations that Caleb has handily collected in this gallery.]

Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar



By J Allen St John. [Illustrateurs]

After the break: a dinobot, giant insects, Indiana Bogart, Modesty, Zatanna, Conan, and Cleopatra.

Never Call a Ghost



Especially a pirate ghost. [Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine]

Vampire of the Deep



[The Horrors of It All]

Creature from the Amazon



Not so much an adaptation of Creature from the Black Lagoon as a rip-off of it. Still lots of fun though. [Part One and Part Two at The Horrors of It All]

Judy of the Jungle and the Treasure of Lobengula



[The Comic Book Catacombs]

The Screaming Skull



[It's the second story down at Golden Age Comic Book Stories]

Airboy vs Valkyrie



Maybe it's her name; maybe it's her hairdo; maybe it's something else. Whatever it is, Valkyrie's one of my favorite villains. [Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine]

Cleopatra in Space



Mike Maihack's webcomic is now updating regularly.

Futura vs the Market of Forbidden Treasures
