Vintage Comic Book Ad: Archie Doll

Beatles vinyl remasters on the way

Oh man, now I'm going to have to buy these too!

The Beatles' back catalogue will be reissued on vinyl, says Jeff Jones, Chief Executive of Apple Corps.

Speaking exclusively to MOJO, Jones revealed that work on the next stage of the Beatles Remastered campaign is currently underway: "We're working on them now," said Jones, "I don't have a release date. To put a release date next to them forces us into a situation where we're releasing something that might not be ready. "

Status report

I'm sorry to report that Pop Culture Safari is going on hiatus, at least for a while, as I start a new job.

I'm not certain yet how much time I'll have for posting as I start this new routine and, obviously, my family and work come first. But, if I have an extra few moments here and there, I'll be back.

Stay tuned!

Read an interview with the great comics artist Jim Steranko. Interesting tidbit:

Steranko [let] fans know that Marvel would be releasing a new "S.H.I.E.L.D" collection, for which he'd written the introduction.

"The editor asked me if I could talk about the things I've done, and if there's anything I haven't talked about yet. There's a lot that has never been discussed, and I think the book might be out in December," said Steranko, adding, "They asked me if I could do it in 500 words. It's 6,300 words."

In a move that doesn't bode well for the struggling series, Fox won't air "Dollhouse" during the November ratings sweeps.

Bottom line: Barring a ratings miracle, Dollhouse will be shut down for good after it completes its current 13-episode order.
