Pop Culture Roundup Aug. 9, 2006

The Seattle Post Intelligencer profiles local comics publisher Fantagraphics. The piece talks about Fantagraphic's popular line of "The Peanuts" and "Dennis the Menace" reprint books and adds this cool tidbit:

Also on their lineup of comics retrospectives: The complete "Pogo" by Walt Kelly and the complete works of Bill Mauldin, whose depictions of the average WWII GI won him the Pulitzer Prize in 1945.

Jog the Blog shares this prescient observation by comics writer Grant Morrison in a 1987 interview:

On the grim'n'gritty approach to super-heroes exemplified by Alan Moore's "The Watchmen" and Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns":

I think it's been done by two very good writers, but I think in lesser hands it's going to become really tedious.

-----------------------

A while back, the excellent Alter Ego mag detailed the story of a lost Superman comics strip by the character's co-creator Jerry Siegel, which introduced the notion of kryptonite and showed Clark Kent revealing to Lois Lane that he was Superman. For real. No foolin'. No "imaginary story." Now the excellent "Superman Through the Ages" site is adapting the script with new, 40-style art. Any true Superfan will wanna check it out. Here's more info about the history of the script, and here's the beginning of the new adaptation. More Superman.

TV Land celebrates the 40th anniversary of "Star Trek" Sept. 8.

...on Friday, September 8, 2006 -- the very date on which the series first premiered in 1966 ... TV Land will showcase four of the most talked about and best remembered episodes from the series, including the show's premiere and the historic episode featuring TV's first interracial kiss. More Star Trek.

DVD: "Sesame Street Nostalgia Box Set" compiles material from series' early seasons

I'd love to know more about this. Just from the title, it sounds like a lot of fun.

What we know: The "Sesame Street Nostalgia Box Set" includes material from the show's first five seasons on three disks. So, I'd imagine we can anticipate lots of pre-Elmo goodness, such as Ernie singing "Rubber Duckie" along with early appearances by Kermit the Frog, Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster and the rest, plus original crew Bob, Susan, Gordon and the much-missed Mr. Hooper.

Let's hope they throw in the Jim Henson-sung version of the mega-catcha "Mahna, Mahna" too.

Out Oct. 24 and available for pre-order now.

DVD: "Inner Sanctum" films from 40s collected

Based on the radio series of the same name, this set of half a dozen Universal Pictures films from the 1940s is due out Sept. 19 and is available for pre-order now.

Starring Lon Chaney Jr., the films include:

Dead Man's Eyes (1944)
