DC Fan Art Comic

So, I am thinking about doing a comic of the old DC characters Iron Munro, Fury and Flying Fox -the replacement for the golden age trinity once the Crisis on Infinite Earth merged the multiverse on one New Earth.

This are some practice drawings of what I want to do, but my comic will be with less talk, because nowdays standards are different, but mostly will be like that.

...and my question is, will anyone will be up to read 3 comics of this age old forgotten DC heroes? I am doing to practice the 'western hero comic style', but it would be a shame that a story like that would be forgotten with nobody to read.

Please, let me now so I can start submitting things in places =D

To be fair, there’s hardly anything written about any of them anywhere. It’s like they were erased.

If you follow this blog, you know I absolutely love everything Earth Two written by Roy Thomas at DC in the 1980s, from All-Star Squadron to Infinity Inc to Young All-Stars and beyond. So when this issue of Alter Ego magazine arrived in the mail yesterday, I was pumped and read it from cover-to-cover in one afternoon. Such fantastic stories about an amazing series that didn't survive very long. I particularly have always been taken with Thomas's theory about the Crisis erasing the big Golden Age heroes but not their energies. I thought replacing the DC trinity with brand new heroes and adding in a few other young guns was an ingenious solution. That's something I miss in today's comics; a commitment to continuity and the clever retcon to solve a continuity problem.

I had questions about who made it to Grant Emerson's funeral and who didn't and why, and this is what I found.

(JSA All-Stars 2010 #7)

Most of the crowd are his JSA teammates and associates, including three of the heroes whose DNA he shares (Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, and Ted Grant), "siblings" from his many DNA connections (Jesse Chambers, Rick Tyler, and Tommy Bronson), his girlfriend Sonia Sato, and his father's godson Al Rothstein, who considers him a brother.

Four of his teammates from his second time with the Titans are there: Argent, Cyborg, Donna Troy, and Starfire. Dick and Wally were presumably otherwise occupied, Garth has recently died, and Roy...well, we'll get to that.

Also present are Arn Munro, who was once suspected of being Grant's real father (he wasn't) but became a fatherly figure to him anyway; and Gillian Wahrman (Wyldeheart), one of Grant's earliest superhero friends. She hasn't been seen since his solo, so it was a nice gesture to include her.

Martian Manhunter is surprisingly absent. He is one of Grant's DNA connections whom he has frequently interacted with; J'onn testified in Grant's defense at the trial after the Atlanta incident. And he's the reason Grant's a "latent telepath" (that ability got forgotten somewhere along the way!). But he died too in the recent event and then was brought back to life. Maybe he's recovering?

Grant's New Titans teammates Terra and Bart aren't there because the former is dead and the latter is...busy with the current Titans, I guess? Bart and Grant haven't spoken in years, but they were good friends once. Who even knows if Bart's aware that Grant died, though.

Roy Harper and his daughter Lian both formed important bonds with Grant when he was with the Titans, but Lian recently died and Roy is currently in rehab after relapsing into drug addiction after her death--presumably unaware that he's lost another kid too.

Best Italian Star Wars

“Star Crash” (1979) is a nice change of pace.  The Good Emperor (Christopher Plummer) convinces Han Solo type lady Stella (Caroline Munro) and her wise Jedi type companion (Marjoe Gortner) and comedic police robot Elle to rescue his son, Prince Simon (A young David Hasselhoff) from the nefarious schemes of evil Count Zarth Arn (Joe Spinell). Planet sized Death Star weapon creates monsters to attack passing ships, and the Count has a very cool space station shaped like a claw.  Low budget effects, but there’s stop motion droids, light saber fights and a gorgeous soundtrack by James Bond composer John Barry that is wonderfully dramatic. Munro is fun as the dashing heroine Stella, and Plummer hams it up nicely.  Another movie that is cheesy but charming, better than it deserves to be

STARCRASH (1978) – Episode 169 – Decades Of Horror 1970s

“You know, my son, I wouldn’t be Emperor of the Galaxy if I didn’t have some powers at my disposal. Imperial Battleship, halt the flow of time!” Yup. That could come in handy. Join your faithful Grue Crew – Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr – as they check out Starcrash (1978), starring Caroline Munro, Christopher Plummer, Marjoe Gortner, David Hasselhoff, and Joe Spinell. What’s not to like?

An outlaw smuggler and her alien companion are recruited by the Emperor of the Galaxy to rescue his son and destroy a mysterious superweapon designed by the evil Count Zarth Arn

Director: Luigi Cozzi (credited in the US as Lewis Coates)

Writers. Luigi Cozzi & Nat Wachsberger (screenplay); R.A. Dillon (additional dialogue) 

Music by: John Barry

Selected cast:

Caroline Munro as Stella Star

Candy Clark as Stella Star (voice) (uncredited)

Marjoe Gortner as Akton

Judd Hamilton as Elle

Hamilton Camp as Elle (voice)

David Hasselhoff as Prince Simon

Christopher Plummer as The Emperor

Joe Spinell as Count Zarth Arn

Robert Tessier as Thor

Nadia Cassini as Corelia

Salvatore Baccaro as Neanderthal Man (uncredited)

Omero Capanna as Spaceship Guard (uncredited)

Hélène Chauvin as Amazon (uncredited)

Bill picked this one and he remembers originally liking Starcrash a lot more than he does this time around. Caroline Munro is still fetching, even though Candy Clark dubs her, but every actor seems to be acting in a different movie. There is a colorful, comic-book style to this weird oddball movie, but as Bill points out, sometimes you can’t go back again.

Jeff has been wanting to see Starcrash since Decades of Horror 1980s covered Maniac, another film starring Caroline Munro and Joe Spinell. Jeff sees the obvious similarities to the recently released Star Wars (1977), but the bad dialogue and long, drawn-out fight scenes cause Starcrash to… crash. Doc remembers great-looking stills in magazines of the time, but their quality does not lead to a good film. The dubbing is laughably bad and the movie is just awful. Still, there is a sort of weird charm to it.

If you have a hankering for late-70s, cheesy, space opera, Starcrash is available to stream with ads from multiple services, and on physical media as a Shout Factory! Blu-ray.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode in their very flexible schedule, chosen by Chad, will be H. G. Wells’ Empire of the Ants (1977), starring Joan Collins and Robert Lansing.

I just think that grant should be adopted by roy since 1) grant is literally homeless with nowhere to go (despite his literal, biological connection to the jsa), 2) roy acted like a better father-figure to grant than alan, jay, and ted ever did.

the only other two people that cared about grant are jesse chambers & rick tyler/hourman, arn "iron" munro... and that's about as far as the list goes; these three people are the ones that helped him after he got kicked out of his home state and left to the DEO to deal with. where the fuck were the jsa when he needed them? where were they to get the DEO off of his case? none of them did what roy had done—literally erasing his file (and therefore any evidence left to incriminate grant) from a govt institute because he believes grant is innocent, on top of that he helped him process his childhood trauma AND supported him through so much that had happened in his life later on. (I'm not gonna get into what jesse & rick did for grant, that's for another time.)

none of the jsa did that to him. they just put him on the reserve list and were done. roy had done so much to help grant in his life, he was a much better father-figure to the kid than anyone else.

#grant emerson #roy harper #i just think that grant should be roy's adopted son since he practically took the kid under his wing anyway!! #dc #glory of youth; gold in her soul.

Starcrash (1979)

You can’t make a movie like Starcrash by accident. It’s a loopy Star Wars knockoff; the kind of sci-fi madness that doesn’t make any sense and throws everything at the screen hoping to see what sticks. For bad movie lovers, it's a delight.

In a distant galaxy (but in the future instead of the past) outlaw smuggler Stella Star (Caroline Munro, in a variety of bikini-like attires) and her sidekick Akton (Marjoe Gortner) are given an ultimatum by the Emperor of the Universe (Christopher Plummer): return to prison or help save the galaxy from the clutches of the evil Count Zarth Arn (Joe Spinell). Joined by police android Elle (Judd Hamilton, donning a southern accent) and a cheap-looking alien named Thor (Robert Tessier) it’s up to them to save the entire galaxy!

If you need some Star Wars to hold you over while waiting for the new one to come out but even with the animated movies and the Ewok adventures you find yourself scrambling for material to pad out the long wait, pick up Starcrash. It’s a lot like Star Wars with a miscellany of other things thrown in. You like Princess Leia in her slave bikini outfit? How about a movie where the female protagonist spends her entire screen time in bikinis?! You like silly robots? Elle is twice as doofy as R2-D2 and C3-P0 put together. You like practical effects? This movies’ effects are so practical that you can clearly tell every space ship is a bunch of random tubes and model trees glued together in strange shapes. The Tuscan raiders have nothing on a planet of Amazons or the cave people armed with sticks and bones that our heroes face. This inept attempt to cash in on the Star Wars craze is one laugh after another.

In my book Starcrash has everything you want in a good bad movie. It’s got memorable scenes and characters. My favorite has to be Stella Star. She’s the awesome smuggler, the hero… but she’s also kind of completely useless. In her defense, so many other players pull out random superpowers out of nowhere her decent combat prowess and piloting skills seem like small potatoes compared to being able to come back from the dead or deflect laser beams with the palm of your hands. It’s a cheaply made film that tries really, REALLY hard, like a little engine that’s missing all but one wheel. It would be sad if it wasn’t so darn entertaining. Count Zarth Arn might as well be Ming the Merciless and we have several monsters with an uncanny resemblance to some of Ray Harryhausen’s most famous creations. 

It's also got material that’s wholly it’s own. When I said earlier that our heroes have to save the galaxy from the clutches of the villain, I chose those words deliberately. He really does have fingers big enough to crush the universe. I’ll leave it to that. No element of this film is well done, not even the acting is good. And that means it’s pure gold throughout.

I love bad movies but finding those who hit the magic mark and earn themselves legendary status is rare. There are obvious titles like The Room or Troll 2. I’d even say Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky and Wickerman are must-sees in the category. Starcrash is right up there. Can you imagine if someone had never seen Star Wars and you tricked them into thinking this was the real deal? That would be cruel, but wow what a blast it would be to see your friends’ horrified face as they try and deduce why this trash is beloved by so many. Someone try this out, but please, show them the actual movie afterward. (On DVD, November 6, 2015)

Outlaw smugglers Stella Star (Caroline Munro) and Akton (Marjoe Gortner) manage to pick up a castaway while running from the authorities, who turns out to be the only survivor from a secret mission to destroy a mysterious superweapon designed by the evil Count Zarth Arn (Joe Spinnell).

Caroline Munroe and David Hasseloff in  “Starcrash” (1978)

After the successs of “Star Wars” in 1977 everybody jumped on the science fiction bandwagon. “Starcrash” came out a year later copying the earlier megahit and stealing bits from the sword and sandal movies of Ray Harryhausen. 

Genre movie eye candy Caroline Munroe gets the lead as Stella Star. Stella and her navigator Akton (Marjoe Gortner) are smugglers who are captured and sentenced to a mining facility. They escape but are captured again only to be called before the Emperor. Instead of prison they are sent to find an evil Count and rescue the Emperor’s son (David Hasselhoff). This evil Count Arn is building some kind of ultimate weapon conquer the empire. 

Munroe still can’t act but it doesn’t matter. She gets to spend an hour and a half in a leather bikini. Most all of the females in this movie are in a bikini, a skimpy two piece uniform or a harem girl outfit. They saved a lot of money on costumes. As you watch this you realize they also saved a lot of money on sets, props and effects. 

This is a grade Z movie but good for a lot of laughs.
