TV, Movies, and Comics

  Science fiction stories, comic books, movies, and television often make attempts at telling us what the future may hold. Sometimes, they get it right other times not so much. Back in 1980 Cary Bates started a 8 page back up story for Superman issue 354 that imagined what the year 2020 would look like from the view of Superman’s grandson, Superman the third. This eight-page backup story appeared in Superman #354, 355, 357, 361, 364, 368, and 372 and would eventually run into the year 2021. First let’s look at the fictional predictions for the comic book world of 2020. Story wise, the first Superman had been aged greatly by Lex Luthor, otherwise being Superman he likely would only have a few grey hairs by 2020.   Superman the third killed off his Kent identity, Kalel Kent in favor of Jon Hudson and worked as an traffic controller. I guess, he wanted to make sure he would be instantly aware of any traffic accidents. In the future Superman still uses words like, “Gosh” and acts n

  A Moment in Incredible Hulk Comic Book and TV History and 1970’s Nostalgia What happened when the Hulk saw himself on television in the comics? From my  youtube channel youtube.com/tvcrazyman Also, loaded to Rumble  and Bitchute In this video we’ll go back in time to age of disco when Jimmy Carter was President, 1978. We’ll take a look at one of my favorite comic books of all time, Marvel Two-In-One #46 featuring the Thing and guest starring the Incredible Hulk. In this story, we find out what happens when the Incredible Hulk sees himself on television. Does he decide to go to Hollywood for autographs or does he want to be in the show himself, or does something else happen?   Alan Kupperberg was the writer and artist, Roger Stern was the editor and at that time Jim Shooter was editor-in-chief. Before we get into it,  I have to point out the Energized Spider-man ad on the left. I always wanted that action figure as a kid, but I missed out. I did have a regular Spider-man action

If you are like me and love the Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, and maybe even a little bit of Alfred Hitchcock, then the new book, Sci-Fi with a Twist may be the book for you. It contains eleven short science fiction stories that end, well, with a bit of shock sometimes. Order Sci-Fi Twist from Amazon The stories contained are very reminiscent of the Twilight Zone. There's a classic TV feel to it all. I love the anthology format. Each story is unique and takes you on another journey into the unknown. Some of which start out in familiar settings and end with the extraordinary.   One of the best stories inside, The Cave, actually reminds me of the 80's TV show, Amazing Stories. Remember that one? Each week Stephen Spielberg presented another amazing tale. The last story, Invasion from Outer Space, will remind you a little of a 1950's sci-fi movie, and the ending is very much in line with what you might expect from Rod Serling. There's a lot of that old Rod Serl

If you love sci-fi and westerns, you'll love reading, "The Man from Nowhere" which is the second in the Time Cruisers series. There's a new sheriff in town who has abilities that are far beyond those of ordinary men. Who is he really? Where did he come from? If only he knew. Can he stop a murdering gunslinger who knows him better than he knows himself? Available at Amazon This action packed book takes the reader on an adventure that runs into Billy the Kid and Wyatt Earp as well as a monster that may be linked to Dr. Jekyll.

 I watched Captain Caveman as a kid. It all started with Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels which was basically a different take on Scooby Doo and Charlie's Angels . Captain Caveman and three teenage girls solve mysteries with the help of Captain Caveman. Captain Caveman was a prehistoric superhero that was frozen in ice until he thawed out in modern days, which was back in 1977. According to wiki the original Captain Caveman ran from September 10, 1977 to June 21, 1980. A total of forty 11-minute episodes ran for three seasons from 1977 to 1980: sixteen episodes were produced as segments of Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics in 1977, eight episodes were produced as segments of Scooby's All-Stars in 1978 and sixteen episodes were produced in 1980 when Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels were given their own half-hour show which combined new episodes and reruns from 1977–79. Cavey and the girls also participated in sporting competitions as part of "The Scooby-Doobi
