Seems to me that John Dixon used his love of drawing aviation images to the Max here. Beautiful work.

Phillip Belpin was certainly influenced by the US 'adventure' artists - which would have been available in Newspaper supplements. He puts me in mind of PHANTOM artist Ray Moore, but he is better than Moore.

One thing that made me smile is the way the title of the Echo story is presented (page 27) - it's a clever little idea that also emphasises how the character's power works. Sometimes it's the little things...

Here is a good print of a movie of a not so well known Poe short story.

Mystery Of Marie Roget 1942

he Mystery of Marie Roget is a 1942 mystery film starring Patric Knowles. The story was adapted from the short story "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1842. The film, directed by Phil Rosen and produced by Universal Pictures, is set in 1889.

enjoy!

Finally found a vintage Arsene Lupin movie.
Not bad either.

Gem Comics #4 with a mixed bag of action-adventure comics

Probably the same source as the DVD-R box set!   

Marcello (who runs OnesMediaFilms) accidentally included a copy of the widescreen 1968 feature film, only blocked on the disc in "fullscreen", so it's got black bars on all 4 sides, PLUS, the English subtitles were left on, no way to turn them off.  He apologized for the error, and said as soon as he could get around to it, he'd try to get a better copy... but, personally, I'd just as soon rather buy the current BLU-RAY of the film.


I sent an e-mail to VEI today with my comments about hoping they'd get around to putting out the later Mystery Movie series.  They've done 3 so far (the McCLOUD box is what got me started on this, I'd been hoping for that for YEARS), while, oddly, 2 other outfits did BANACEK and COLUMBO.

I found it very odd that the 2nd season opener of COLUMBO had the modern "Universal" logo on the disc TWICE (before and after the menu), and, the "teaser" at the beginning, with NO gap between it and the start of the movie itself... but oddly, was MISSING the Universal logo at the END of the film.  The MADIGAN this week movie had that!  That little 9-note bit of music always serves as "the end", and it feels wrong when it's not there.

There are 6 episodes of MADIGAN ON YouTube.
