Animation Win: Robb Pratt’s “Superman Classic.” A Fan Film of Superness
Posted by mistergroonk in Animation, Artist, Just Freaking Neat on February 8, 2011
Official site: robbpratt.com
What you’re seeing here is a short Superman fan film from Robb Pratt. We think he pretty much nailed the classic feel he was going for.
Maybe he should set his eyes on getting a Kickstarter project funded.

Ultimate Crossover: Superman & The Doctor vs. Brainiac & The Daleks on Krypton!
Posted by mistergroonk in Art, Artist, Comics, Panel Perfect, Versus on October 16, 2010
While browsing the archival halls of Ancient Forever we found another special kind of love from artist Dean Trippe.
Spacetime’s Finest No. 3
YET ANOTHER weird old comic found in the back/forward issue bins down at the MCS (Multiversal Comic Shop). The first issue of Spacetime’s Finest was a super rad find, and the second one was astonishingly cool, but I can’t believe I found the third CONSECUTIVE issue of a book no one’s heard of! I have an actual degree in comics and it’s got me stumped. As I’ve said before, I love these kinda team-ups, and the Doctor and Superman are the best (besides Batman), so I figured I’d post this one here for you guys, too!
Obviously, I’ll let you know if I find #4! (Print available here!)
The Sunday Punch: Joker and Lex
Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, Just Freaking Neat on August 29, 2010
The above is from the back pages of Superman/Batman #75. A team-up comics geeks, like us, know better as World’s Finest.
But that’s all a mere warm-up to the book’s glorious main event, Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo’s loving tribute to Calvin and Hobbes starring Lex Luthor and the Joker. I can’t begin to describe the joy this two-page gem brought me. Not only does Bermejo go completely outside his usual creative box by wonderfully paying homage to the style of Bill Watterson, but Azzarello accomplishes the equally impressive feat of mirroring Watterson’s trademark sense of humor while also staying true to the two iconic villains’ personalities and histories. I loved this strip. Absolutely loved it. For Calvin and Hobbes fans, it’s alone reason to lay down the five bucks.
Reviewer Dan Williams is not fooling. As you can see above you, those two pages are fried gold. We’re gonna run to our local shop and pick up a copy of Superman/Batman #75.

You wouldn’t think it’d take this long to run across a cat wearing Superman’s cape and shield.

Look. Down in the Basement. It’s a Rat? It’s a Mole? It’s Superman Saving Your House from Foreclosure
Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, Just Freaking Neat, USA on August 6, 2010
Times remain tough. This fact is very clear. Times were even tougher for an anonymous family in the South. The second mortgage on their house was bearing down hard.
Who would think a choice find of “Action Comics #1” in the basement, featuring the first appearance of Superman, would be their red-caped angel?
The family, which lives in the South and wishes to remain anonymous, contacted Metropolis Comics and Collectibles in New York. According to a report on ABC News, their copy of Action #1, which graded out at a #5 VG (Very Good/Fine), is expected to bring upwards of $250,000 at auction.
The family, which had inherited the home when the wife’s father died and had lived in it for years, was able to keep the house when representatives from Metropolis Comics were able to convince bank officials of the worth of the comic, which will be up for auction on ComicConnect.com from August 27th through September 17th.
This ABC News story has the full rundown.

Did You Know: Superman’s Birth Home Needs Your Help
Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, History, USA on September 8, 2008
Not Krypton.
You smart ass.
Ohio.
Two high school boys, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, hatched the idea of the man who could bend steel with his bare hands in 1933. Hattie and Jefferson Gray have owned the home and lived there for more than two decades, tolerating unexpected visits by Superman fans.
Auction organizers hope the sale will raise at least $50,000 to fix the roof, replace rotting wood siding and repaint the house, with anything left over going toward upkeep and future repairs.
[…]
“It’s also great to see that we’re finally recognizing the creativity of Siegel and Shuster and what they did to create Superman,” he said. “We must save the house for future generations so people can take their kids to see it and be inspired to create something on their own.”
This is a job for…all you fanboys out there with loose cash rattling around those pockets of yours.
The auction‘s currently still going on so, get on that.
