I GET THE BLUES WHEN IT RAINS...

Here's JIM REEVES with a slightly faster type

of song than he's associated with.  Take a listen.

THUNDERBALL TRAILER...

THUNDERBALL was a bit hit and miss in my

opinion.  The undersea stuff dragged a tad, and it has

to be one of the worst BOND movies for continuity,

with 007's scuba mask changing colour from one

scene to another, and FELIX LEITER's shorts

switching to trousers between sentences.

Did this film mark the decline of Bond, quality-

wise?  Have your say in the comments section.

BABE Of The DAY - KATE UPTON...

Here's a heavenly honey for you to swoon

over - the utterly lovely KATE UPTON!  Now

tell me - why have none of my previous girlfriends

ever looked as good as her?  (Hey, whaddya mean

because they were inflatable!  Cheek!)

PART TWO Of SUPERMAN COVER GALLERY...

Well, there's no point hanging around, so here's another six covers in this two-part gallery of the first dozen issues of SUPERMAN's own magazine from the 1930s & '40s.  The creators of Supes were often later touted as paupers before being awarded a life-pension by National/DC in the '70s, but they actually earned a small fortune from their time on the Man of Steel that should've lasted them a good many years.  Between 1940 and 1950, the annual American wage was around $1,900 - yet, in 1948, SIEGEL & SHUSTER conceded the rights to SUPERBOY for a payment of over $94,000.  And remember - that didn't include the reputed $50,000 a year they had each been paid when they provided NPP with Superman material.

Anyway, make of that what you will, but in the meantime enjoy these six cracking covers from a bygone age!
