Coming up is Martin Luther King Day. Many people get a holiday -
mostly people in government and education - at least around here.
I have to work but my job takes me to municipal departments which
will be closed that day. So, it will be an office day preparing
my annual forecast. Then on Tuesday I am off to Cleveland - a
winter garden spot if there ever was one. At least I get to catch
up on my reading on the flights.

When I think of MLK I think of the "I Have a Dream" speech. It is
truly a landmark and should be repeated as it is every year on
multiple media venues. Unfortunately, I also am reminded of those
who use his name and cause in vain to advance their own agenda.
Such things always have happened and probably always will.

I also watched some of the hearings this week of the Senate
Judiciary Comittee. I am ashamed of my own Senator's behavior but
have come to accept that the average voter cares little about
integrity and civility in their public servants - as long as they
bring home the pork. I am seriously considering moving to that
island on LOST. I might be able to take the struggle for survival
a bit better. Better yet, I should just move to New Hampshire, at
least I have a brother there.

But I digress . . .

I had a lot to read and review this week and am running short.
Here are the comics for this week to check out.

    DC Universe The Stories Of Alan Moore, $19.99
    Fables #45, $2.75
    JLA #124, $2.50

    Ultimate X-Men #66, $2.50

be glued to the set for that one. Go Pats!

Subject: still without a computer...

Hey Dave, I hope you had a good end of the year. I'm still
without a computer, checking e-mail every week or so, when I can
get my hands on a computer... hopefully, mine will be up and
running by the end of next week, but it's out of my hands,
really.

This week, as I am at my parent's beach house, I can check mail
daily, but I don't know if I can get enough computer time as to
write a column, since my dad needs the computer to work. If I
can, I'll send out a column by thurdsay, at least to let readers
know I'm not dead or something. If I don't, please include this
messages in the letters section, to let them know that I haven't
just deserted.

1. Next show: Tuesday night (Wednesday morning) Jan. 17 (18).

Marc Svensson and me, where he talks about some of his
contemporaries in science fiction and comics such as John Broome,
Bill Finger, Alfred Bester, C.L. Moore, Henry Kuttner and Mort
Weisinger.  I'll play it at 4:30 AM so I can take your phone
calls about Julie in the last half hour of the show.

2. A free sample of the 'Nuff Said! dvd (the face for radio is on
video!) is posted on the web site in several formats so you can
see it whether you have dial-up, a mac or a pc.  It has a little
of each artist interview (Mike Kaluta, Mike Oeming, Sean Chen &
Louis Small, Jr.).

In the world of comic books, many incredible crossovers have come
about that have placed comic book aficionados into a frenzy.
Most people made fun of the X-Men/Star Trek comic book crossover,
but I sat there riveted to my seat reading this story.  For
people who love crossover stories or some great fan fiction, you
can now find it all over cyberspace.  By going into Google search
and merely typing in "crossover stories" or "fan fiction", you
can find crossover stories such as Gunsmoke/Star Trek; The Big
Valley/Quantum Leap; Hawaii 5-0/X-Files; Dr. Who/Star Trek; SG-
1/Dr. Who; Planet of the Apes/Battlestar Galactica.  Along with
these crossover stories, there is a variety of fan fiction that
includes ongoing stories of the Lord of the Rings, even some
Hobbit crossover stories.  Besides all of the TV/Movie crossover
stories, fans of various comic book characters have crossed over
their favorite comic book characters.  Of course, they are
unauthorized stories, but they are sure fun to read!  I am also
so amazed at how many regular websites are using comic book
animation or just regular animation, for example check out my
cousin Bobby's website, he is a former CHP (California Highway
Patrol) and now is the Director of his own Private Investigation
Firm.  His website is: www.arcyinvestigations.com

As you can see placing animation on your website brings your
website alive and more and more people are doing this.  The world
of animation, crossover stories, fan fiction is getting more and
more popular due to the Super Information Highway known as the
Internet!  Life just got more exciting!

ANOTHER MAN OF MYSTERY

Around 1960, the manufacturers of the cleanser MR. CLEAN
announced a nationwide contest to discover the bald headed
muscular cleaner's first name.  Although many entered, apparently
no one won, as Mr. Clean lives on today without a first name.  In
a related note, the company also pays muscular men to shave their
heads and impersonate the genie of the kitchen at malls and
events.

HE DID WHAT FEMA COULDN'T- CLEAN UP NEW ORLEANS

This next entry is full of mystery and unanswered questions.  The
SHADOW pulp closed down in 1949, the radio show in 1951.  Yet in
1958 Republic Pictures produced a television pilot (actually the
second one filmed) of the character, and then turned it into a
feature film.  The adventure is known as BOURBON STREET SHADOWS
and INVISIBLE AVENGER and features Richard Derr as Lamont
Cranston, who becomes invisible to fight crime as the Shadow.  He
wears no costume or mask in the film (just a business suit), and
battles gangsters and would be despots in New Orleans.  Oddly
enough, this may have been the inspiration or model for the short
lived ARCHIE ADVENTURE SERIES comic version of the Shadow in the
1960's.  In the first two issues, Cranston is blonde with wavy
hair (as was Derr in the film) but the only costume he wore was a
blue cape to go along with his blue suit.  The first issue cover
showed the traditional hook-nosed slouch hat version of the
Shadow. In the second issue, a different version of the hero
appeared on the cover with blue hair and tights.   In the 3rd
issue interior, Cranston was now the fellow depicted on the cover
of issue 2 and began battling supervillains.

Marvel Terminates Toy Biz Worldwide Licensing Agreement and Plans
for Transition to Hasbro License in 2007

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)----Marvel Entertainment, Inc.
(NYSE:MVL), announced today that is has terminated its licensing
agreement with Toy Biz Worldwide Ltd., effective as of December
31, 2005, one year earlier than the license's scheduled
termination date. As a result of the termination, in 2006 Marvel-
branded action figures and other toys formerly produced by Toy
Biz Worldwide will be produced by Marvel. Now, with full control
over Marvel-branded toys produced for sale in 2006, Marvel will
be in a better position to effect a smooth transition to Hasbro
in areas such as toy development, manufacturing, shipping, and
retail space. As a result of this early termination, Marvel will
record a one-time cash charge of $13 million - $16 million in the
fourth quarter of 2005 related to the early termination and
reimbursed research and development expenses. The charge is not
reflected in Marvel's financial guidance for 2005, last provided
on November 9, 2005.

   Marvel's Chairman, Morton Handel, commented, "While Marvel
will own any inventory produced for 2006, our policy of
predominantly manufacturing to order should help mitigate our
inventory risk. Commencing in 2007, a wide range of toy and game
categories - including action figures, role play and preschool
toys, board games and puzzles - will be produced by our new
licensee, Hasbro. We are very excited by the business prospects
we see in teaming with an industry leader."

Hasbro and Marvel Team to Produce Wide Range of Toys and Games
Based on the Marvel Character Universe

PAWTUCKET, R.I. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)----

   Hasbro Awarded Five-Year Strategic License to Marvel's Library
of Over 5,000 Characters; Product Inspired by Spider-Man 3 Movie
to be Among the First to Market

   Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE:HAS) and Marvel Entertainment, Inc.
(NYSE:MVL), announced today a license under which Marvel has
granted Hasbro toy and game rights to its renowned Super Hero
universe that includes franchises such as Spider-Man, Fantastic
Four, X-Men and Captain America. Through the agreement, Hasbro
has obtained the rights to develop products based on Marvel's
globally-known universe of over 5,000 characters in a wide range
of toy and game categories -- including action figures, role play
and preschool toys, board games and puzzles. The agreement covers
both the "classic" comic book look of the characters as well as
product lines inspired by Marvel-themed movies.

   The five-year license gives Hasbro the rights to bring Marvel
Entertainment-based toy products to retail beginning January 1,
2007. Hasbro's first full line of products based on Marvel
properties is expected to center on Ghost Rider and the highly-
anticipated movie event, Spider-Man 3, scheduled for release on
May 4, 2007. Marvel has also agreed to provide services to Hasbro
in connection with the licensed toys. The license guarantees
Marvel $205 million in royalty and service fee payments, of which
$70 million would be payable on the theatrical release of Spider-
Man 3 and $35 million upon the theatrical release of Spider-Man
4. In addition, the license can be extended past the five year
term, dependent on the number of other entertainment properties
released during that timeframe.

   "We are particularly pleased with this arrangement as it fits
strategically into our plan to continually develop our home-grown
core brands while aligning ourselves selectively with the best
licenses in the business," Alfred J. Verrecchia, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Hasbro, Inc. said.

   "Hasbro's multi-year agreement with Marvel provides Hasbro
with proven properties in categories where we have been long-time
industry leaders," said Brian Goldner, Hasbro's President, U.S.
Toy Segment. "Marvel's properties are a 'who's-who' in children's
and family entertainment and provide Hasbro with many exciting
opportunities in the years ahead."

   Tim Rothwell, Worldwide President, Consumer Media Group,
Marvel Entertainment, added, "Hasbro is renowned in the toy
arena. It supports its key brands with heavy promotional and
advertising campaigns and their innovation provides consumers
with an unmatched retail experience. We believe aligning with
Hasbro as our master toy and game partner sets the stage for us
to further extend the global and domestic reach and image of the
overall Marvel brand."

   Bruno Maglione, President, Marvel International, commented,
"As we continue the process of developing our brands through a
heightened mix of coordinated multi-media and product activity it
was important to engage with a partner who understands how to
leverage and optimize that sort of evergreen franchise approach.
Hasbro brings that experience to the table, and with it, the
ability and reach to execute globally. It's a perfect match."

   David Hargreaves, Chief Financial Officer of Hasbro, Inc,
said, "We are very pleased with this deal as it provides Hasbro
with incremental revenues in high margin categories and allows us
to maintain an appropriate balance in our portfolio of core
brands and strategic licenses."

   Juli Boylan, Sr. Vice President, Sony Pictures Consumer
Products, the limited partner in Spider-Man Merchandising LP,
stated, "We are thrilled to have Hasbro develop toys and games
for Spider-Man 3. We are very proud of the Spider-Man film
franchise and feel Hasbro will play a pivotal role in its
continued success."

   The license is conditioned on its clearance under the Hart-
Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

At MoCCA 1/14 - 2/20:  The Art of Irwin Hasen, Heroes to War
Orphan

NEW YORK (January 8, 2006) -- This Saturday, the Museum of Comic
and Cartoon Art (MoCCA) is proud to open its retrospective "The
Art of Irwin Hasen: Heroes to War Orphan."

Irwin Hasen began drawing comic books in 1939; working on
characters such as the Flash, Green Lantern, and Wildcat (a
character he co-created with writer Bill Finger).  Later, Hasen
developed the newspaper strip Dondi, the story of a WWII orphan
coming to America, which ran from 1955 to 1986.

The show includes original comic book and strip art, recreations
of his most striking cover work, artifacts from the 1961 Dondi
film, and a look at his latest comics projects, along with clips
from an upcoming documentary on Hasen, produced by Batman artist
Neal Adams.

The opening reception for "The Art of Irwin Hasen: Heroes to War
Orphan" will be held January 14th at 7pm at the museum.  Hasen
himself will be there.  The museum is located on the fourth floor
of 594 Broadway (between Houston and Prince Streets).  Normal
admission to the museum is $3, but admission to this reception is
free.

If you can't make it to the opening reception on Saturday the
14th, Hasen will also be the featured guest at the museum's MoCCA
Monday event on January 16th.   Hasen will discuss his over-50-
year career in comics.  Program starts at 6:30pm.  MoCCA Monday
is a weekly program bringing special guests to the museum every
Monday night for lectures, panels, screenings and other fun
educational events.  MoCCA Monday events are free and open to the
public.  The MoCCA Monday program is supported, in part, by
public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural
Affairs.

"The Art of Irwin Hasen: Heroes to War Orphan" will be on display
at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art from January 14 through
February 20, during regular gallery hours (Friday, Saturday,
Sunday, Monday, noon-5pm).  Museum admission during regular
gallery hours is $3 (free for MoCCA Members as well as children
12 and under).

The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts
education organization dedicated to the preservation, study and
display of all forms of comic and cartoon art.  The museum
promotes greater understanding and appreciation of the artistic,
cultural and historical significance of comic and cartoon art
through a variety of events, exhibitions, and educational
programs.   The museum is currently located at 594 Broadway
(between Houston and Prince Streets) in New York City.  MoCCA
exhibits are generally open to the public on Fridays, Saturdays,
Sundays and Mondays from 12:00-5:00 pm.  General admission to the
museum is $3 but free for MoCCA Members as well as children 12
and under.  For more information about the museum or specific

Award-Winning Animated Short Set to Appear at the Southern Fried
Flicks Film Fest and Compete at the MoTV Awards at Mandalay Bay
Hotel

January 9, 2006, Palm Beach, FL - The New Year starts off with a
bang for the award-winning animated short, Zoom Suit, as it is
scheduled to appear in the Southern Fried Flicks Film Festival on
January 10 at the Imperial Theater in Augusta, Georgia airing at
6:00 pm and will then compete in the 2006 MoTV Awards held during
the National Association of Television Production Executives
(NATPE) meeting on January 23 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las
Vegas.

The second annual Southern Fried Flicks Film Fest showcases
Southern independent films with a special emphasis on local and
regional films. Southern Fried Flicks was developed to inspire,
encourage and support films and filmmaking in the South.
With the worldwide demand for mobile content exploding and nearly
2 billion mobile phone users actually watching television on
their cell phones, the first annual MoTV Awards is searching for
the next big mobile hit show through the work of independent
creators. Held at NATPE, the leading event for educating and
making deals with global television producers and marketers at
their annual summit, the audience for the awards will be
comprised of top tier press, television, and mobile/wireless
execs, and content creators, acquirers and carriers/distributors.
"We love the attention, but we're afraid the comic book may be
allocated" said Zoom Suit creator John Taddeo. "We wanted preview
copies for retailers, so we printed the book based upon a best
guess in late November. With the increased exposure, it appears
that estimate was woefully low. If you want a copy of Zoom Suit,
please reserve one at your local comic shop as soon as possible."

The award-winning animated short Zoom Suit, created by John
Taddeo, can be seen online at www.superverse.com. The Zoom Suit
comic book will be solicited under Superverse in the February
edition of Previews for items shipping in April 2006.
