Roy Thomas and Stan Lee collaborate on "Marvel Universe" book

Out in September, "Stan Lee's Amazing Marvel Universe" is a book that also includes built-in, playable audio commentary by comics scribe Lee. Longtime comics writer Roy Thomas handles the text.

Here's a description:

Experience the Marvel Universe in a whole new way—guided by the master himself in a gorgeous, deluxe volume with audio files that actually feature Stan Lee speaking.

Lee is known and beloved to millions as the man who helped propel Marvel to its preeminent position in the comic book industry.

From The Incredible Hulk to The Fantastic Four, his work has left an indelible mark not only in comics, but also in movies and TV.

That’s why his huge number of fans will be thrilled with this unique and beautifully designed full-color book, printed on art-quality paper. It presents 50 top Marvel happenings, arranged chronologically, plus 68 audio tracks (45 minutes running time) of Lee’s fascinating commentary.

The format, which contains an actual 2" speaker, allows you to skip and scroll easily to wherever you want. There’s even a 3-digit LCD display

Anyone who’s ever wondered why the Hulk started out gray and then changed to green, what Stan was thinking when he agreed to kill off Gwen Stacy, and why Lee decided to make Daredevil blind, will finally find the answers.

The book is profusely illustrated, showcasing ten thematic spreads that detail such subjects as the “Women of Marvel,” “Marvel vs. DC,” “Morality in the Marvel Universe,” and “Spider-Man’s Artists.”


The book is available for pre-order now from Amazon.

Star Trek manga cover

I guess this is supposed to have multiple covers, but here's one of them. Launched by Tokyopop, this series features the original "Star Trek" crew in new features. You can pre-order the first volume now from Amazon.

This week's comics: Check out the big list.

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

Cracked Magazine, a Mad-style comic rag with a 48-year history, is relaunching--sans comics.

The all-new CRACKED leaves behind its illustrated past and debuts a new look, a new editorial direction and a roster of high-profile talent-including author/satirist Neal Pollack and writers from such popular shows as Saturday Night Live, The Daily Show and Chappelle's Show.]

Acquired in 2005 by entrepreneur Monty Sarhan, CRACKED spent the last year-and-a-half on hiatus while undergoing a total re-design and "re-imagining" as a humor magazine for a new generation. The all-new CRACKED features articles, parodies, magazine spoofs, pranks, recurring columns and a completely new section called "But Seriously ... " with news, reviews and interviews covering the world of comedy.


The new CRACKED has almost doubled in size-from 48 pages to 80 full-color pages on glossy paper. With a cover price of $3.99, the new CRACKED will be available nationwide. It is being distributed by Curtis Circulation, the largest distributor of magazines in North America.

MODERN MASTERS VOLUME NINE: MIKE WIERINGO
by TODD DEZAGO & ERIC NOLEN-WEATHINGTON

The latest volume of the Modern Masters series looks at the life and
work of one of today’s top comic-book artists, Mike Wieringo. Like the
title character of his first major job, The Flash, Wieringo hit the
comic book industry running. Armed with a fresh, unique style all his
own—merging elements of manga with the power of the Marvel comics of
his
youth—he quickly became a fan-favorite. His work featuring Robin and
Superman, Spider-Man and the X-Men—not to mention the creator-owned
world of Tellos—has cemented him as one of the top artists in the
business. And his recent run on Fantastic Four ranks among the best in
the title’s long and prestigious history. Now Todd Dezago and Eric
Nolen-Weathington give you an inside look at the artist’s life and
career! This 120-page volume presents his most comprehensive,
career-spanning interview to date, and is jam-packed with tons of rare
and unpublished artwork, including an 8-page full color gallery. It’s
the ultimate look at the work of a true Modern Master: Mike Wieringo!

The 120 page (plus cover), squarebound , 8 1/2" x 11" trade paperback
with a full color cover, black-and-white interiors and 8 page full
color
gallery retails for $14.95 in the U.S. and ships 18 October 2006.

DC Direct presents Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman statue

From a press release:

DC Direct, the toy and collectibles brand of DC Comics, announced the release of a limited edition Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman statue, created in tandem with Carter, who portrayed the 5’10” goddess from 1975 to 1979, first on the hour-long television series “THE NEW ORIGINAL WONDER WOMAN” and later “THE NEW ADVENTURES OF WONDER WOMAN.”

The statue, modeled after and personally approved by Carter, was sculpted by the incomparable Tim Bruckner, and is hand-painted and made of cold-cast porcelain. Standing at 13.5 inches, the statue features a costume inspired by the 70s television series. Though DC Direct has made numerous Wonder Woman items, including action figures, statues and props, this is the first time that any have been based on Carter’s likeness or her television series.

“DC Direct is thrilled to be working with Lynda to bring this statue to the fans,” said Georg Brewer, VP – Design & DC Direct. “Lynda's time as Wonder Woman is indelibly imprinted in all our minds. This is the ultimate Wonder Woman statue for all fans, including those at DC Direct."

The statue was made available for viewing at Wizard World Chicago on Aug. 3-6, at the DC Comics booth. The Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman statue will be available in stores on April 4, 2007.


Dark Horse, DC DIrect team up for new figures line

Dark Horse Comics and DC Direct have teamed for a new line of figures based on DC Comics characters. First up: a vintage-looking depiction of the golden age Superman.

Details:

In an exciting collaboration, Dark Horse Comics and DC Direct, DC Comics' action figure and collectible company, are teaming to create a new series of vintage-style statuettes featuring four of DC Comics' best-known characters. Modeled after products that were popular in the 1930s and 1940s, the four new statuettes being produced by Dark Horse are designed and manufactured consistent with earlier "syroco"-style figures. This new line is scheduled for monthly release starting in February 2007. The first of the statuettes will feature a classic rendition of Superman.

The sculpting and packaging design is inspired by the art style of original Superman artist Joe Shuster, and echoes the look and feel of his earliest comic appearances. Produced in a limited edition of hand-numbered copies, the figure is fully painted and ready to display. Batman will be the second release, followed by Wonder Woman and The Flash. For each, the style, costumes and other details will be consistent with the original "Golden Age" look of the character from the comics of that period.

"This project is a dream come true for me," Dark Horse Comics President Mike Richardson exclaimed, "and I want to thank my friend Paul Levitz of DC Comics for making it possible. Dark Horse and DC have collaborated on many publishing projects, but this is the first merchandise crossover we have ever done. It is gratifying that DC Direct has acknowledged our unique product category, especially since they have done such a fabulous job with these characters on their own."

"Dark Horse has established a unique creative approach with this line of statuettes that I along with their many collectors have enjoyed," said Georg Brewer, Vice President -- Design & DC Direct Creative. "Our creative collaboration makes perfect sense given the historical roots of this style and significance our characters from that time."

The DC Comics series will depict the characters as they were originally presented in the comics, but also will deliberately be somewhat more rough-hewn than is common, with features including non-slick surface textures, visible seam lines, and other slightly "distressed" aspects.

The new series maintains the packaging style and special features of the previous Dark Horse series, but affords collectors the opportunity to start with the first release. Each hand-numbered statuette comes carefully packaged in a custom-tooled, full-color, litho-printed tin box. Also included is a small booklet about each character and a vintage-style pinback button of the character.

"We have worked hard to create a superior package for these very special items," Dark Horse Product Development head David Scroggy remarked, "and we think we have met the challenge with help from our manufacturing team and of course the creative and licensing team at DC Direct."

The first releases are Superman (February 2007), Batman (March 2007), Wonder Woman (April 2007), and The Flash (May 2007). The initial release is arguably the most beloved character ever created for comic books, Superman. Since his debut in 1938, the orphan from the planet Krypton has claimed a status of one of the best-known fictional characters of all time. The Man of Steel's heroic adventures are a part of our cultural tapestry, and the intent of this project is to recall his earliest days.

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.

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.

Knowing that his hands are his life, Yvonne overcomes her fear and goes to Dr. Gogol, to beg him to help. Gogol decides to surgically graft the hands of executed murderer Rollo onto Stephen Orlac, the surgery is successful but has terrible side-effects...
