Sneak Peek of the Week of September 4th, 2011

September 4, 2011

If this thing wants to take a peek at anything you are doing, let him.

This week we’ll complain about vampires, use grammar to screw around with WFAN, and wonder why Canada values fish over people in the Friday Imponderable. Saturday Comics shines the spotlight on Neal Adams, and as usual the American Chopper Weekly Rundown goes online when the show goes off the air. All this, some old TV shows, Dancing with the Stars, and more, this week on Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride.

The Saturday Comics: Star Hawks

It is easy to dismiss Star Hawks as a Star Wars ripoff, but what wasn’t in 1977? However, this strip has a great pedigree. It was written  by Ron Goulart and then Archie Goodwin, and illustrated by Gil Kane. (And if you don’t know who any of them are, you better be off to google.) With creators like that, it is a shame that it only ran from 1977 to 1981.

I love Gil Kane’s art, and the strip is total 1970’s. Enjoy.
