Lady in the Lake (1946) Robert Montgomery

Action, dated 17 September 1977. The Spinball Slaves cover by Ron Turner. I'll never understand why Ron's work was frowned on by a certain sci-fi comic of the time. He definitely gave this strip a refresh as I personally found the art a bit patchy in places beforehand.

This issue saw a new direction for the Kneagle's Eagles Spinball team with them being renamed The Black Gladiators (a name they kept for the remainder of the Spinball saga). From left to right the team were Steel, Kid Curry, Yo-Yo Devine, Joe Taggart, Ape Larsen, Posh Parker and Tex Norton.

At this point the strip was set in the far future of 2001. It was originally called Death Game 1999 (with Taggart and Devine as the main characters), Spinball (after the December 1976 relaunch when Larsen, Curry, Parker, Norton and Steel the human 'computoid' were gradually introduced) before becoming The Spinball Slaves for the remainder of its run in Action.

Other notable team members, recruited after the team rack up the odd injury or two, were Stitch Carver (an ex-con who debuts in the 29 October issue), Crash Garrison (a circus stuntman who debuts in the 5 November issue) and Clipper Richmond (a woman!) who I think joins during The Spinball Wars in Battle Action. It's hard to think of a strip with a greater array of character names. Treasury of British Comics.

Janus Stark was a Victorian orphan who had uncanny skills of escapology. Taught to live on the streets by Largo, a blind man, Janus uses his skills to help the poor and needy.

Created by Tom Tully and artist Solano  Lopez, he first appeared in the revamped Smash! comic in 1969, he continued success in the merge with Valiant in 1971 until he was replaced by Adam Eterno in the 1974 merge with Lion comic. 

The French publication, Mon Journal, translated and published Janus Stark titles continuing with their own art when the reprints ran out.

Rebellion publications are reprinting the strips and volume 3 is now available continuing the Smash! strips from 1969-70.

June Bride

Anybody who thinks Bette Davis couldn’t play comedy need only look at ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), which isn’t exactly Greek tragedy, to see how wrong they are. Yet, that fallacious assumption is at least understandable given the comedies Warner Bros. usually gave her during her lengthy stay at the studio. Apart from THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER (1941), the scripts were pretty weak, though at least she had the consolation of co-starring with Leslie Howard in 1937’s IT’S LOVE I’M AFTER and James Cagney in 1941’s THE BRIDE CAME C.O.D. In Bretaigne Windust’s JUNE BRIDE (1948, TCM, Plex), she had neither a good script nor a congenial leading man. She’s convincing as a tough lady editor (with a great Edith Head wardrobe), but as the former lover assigned to write a wedding story under her, Robert Montgomery is just wrong. He’s not horrible in the scenes without Davis. By 1948, he’d at least acquired enough life experience to play with a degree of conviction. But his comic style doesn’t match hers. Davis keeps struggling to find the truth in the shoddy plot and succeeds a good deal of the time. She has the star’s trick of playing as if she had a secret. She’s always withholding something, which makes her lighter scenes charming. The only scene that seems false is her big Act II confrontation with Montgomery. The writing is so phony even Davis can’t whip it into shape, and the whole idea that a strong, accomplished woman needs a man to serve is just antediluvian. But there are other moments — her reaction to a wedding, a cross to turn out a light — that reach the level of mastery for which she was most acclaimed. Montgomery doesn’t withhold anything. He mugs mercilessly, making him the country bumpkin’s notion of a sophisticate (no wonder he played so much light comedy at MGM). The two stars seem to be in different movies; he’s a McKinley stinker, and she’s a Truman modern. There’s a very deft supporting performance by Betty Lynn as the bride’s younger sister who blossoms convincingly and nice supporting moments from Fay Bainter and Mary Wickes as Davis’ assistants, Jerome Cowan as her publisher and Marjorie Bennett and Tom Tully as the bride’s parents. If you blink, you’ll miss Debbie Reynolds’ film debut as a wedding guest.

Incoming Rebellion Releases: The Steel Claw is back (and a classic Judge Dredd board game is coming soon, too!)

A classic Judge Dredd game gets a re-release soon, created by Ian Livingstone... 40 years ago!

The latest instalments of “Judge Dredd”, “Enemy Earth”, “Hershey”, “Hope” and “Chimpsky’s Law” feature in 2000AD Prog 2307 this week, a pretty quiet seven days from Tharg and co, with only the second Steel Claw collection – Reign of the Brain – also released by Rebellion. Next week, however, brings us something pretty special – the return of a classic 2000AD tie-in, forty years after it was…
