Isis comes to Smallville | TV Series Finale

If you were watching Saturday morning television in the 1970s, you surely remember the Isis live-action series. Created as a companion to Filmation's Shazam! series (starring DC Comics' Captain Marvel), Isis was the first live-action weekly series to star a female superhero. It ran for just two seasons and 22 episodes, from 1975 to 1977. The show stars JoAnna Cameron as a high school teacher who uncovers a powerful Egyptian amulet that gives her the power to transform into the goddess Isis.

'Superman' Lawsuit Delayed by Appeal

Today a key battle was supposed to be waged in the war over the future of Superman.  But instead of a heated courtroom showdown, the judge overseeing the case has delayed the matter as lawyers for Warner Bros. and the heirs of Superman co-creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel await an appeal of a procedural ruling.

The Art of Comics No. 1, R. Crumb

Well, the truth is kind of dumb, actually. I did it for the money and I quickly began to regret it. It was an enormous amount of work—four years of work and barely worth it. I was too compulsive about the detail. With comics, you've got to develop some kind of shorthand. You can't make every drawing look like a detailed etching. The average reader actually doesn't want all that detail, it interferes with the flow of the reading process. But I just can't help myself—obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I forget, when the making fun of the buzzwords start, is that the start of the boom, or the start of the bust?

'Chaos' theory — Fred Van Lente

The Boerum Hill writer's breakthrough project at Marvel, "Chaos War," will pull super-powered heroes, world-devouring bad guys and almighty deities from every corner of the Marvel Universe in an attempt to save reality itself from the clutches of the Chaos King.
