KING OF ONE-LINERS...

I wouldn't necessarily call it the best BOB HOPE

line ever, but it is funny. It comes from THE GHOST

BREAKERS, which is an absolute corker of a film - funny

and scary at the same time.  It's available on DVD, so do

yourself a favour and run out and buy a copy - now!

The ESSENTIAL SHOWCASE 1956-1959...

Copyright DC COMICS

Back in 1992, DC COMICS released a nice little softcover edition called The ESSENTIAL SHOWCASE 1956-1959, and it's a right little cracker.  Containing milestone issues, it features the first appearances of FIREMAN FARRELL, the Silver Age FLASH, CHALLENGERS Of The UNKNOWN, ADAM STRANGE, plus LOIS LANE in her first solo magazine adventures, which later led to her own long-running title.

Incidentally, I've only shown the splash pages of the first story in those issues that contain more than one, so there's actually more content than you'd think from a glance at the images which follow.  The book is a nice little collectors' item and chances are you'll be able to track one down on eBay should you feel so inclined.

While you're thinking about it, you can pore over the power- packed piccies that I now present for your personal perusal within the peaceful perimeters of your own home.  Nice, ain't I?
