HOTW- The Vision (Timely)

From Wiki- Vision (Aarkus) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by the writer Joe Simon and artist Jack Kirby, the character first appeared during the Golden Age of comic books in Marvel Mystery Comics #13 (Nov. 1940), published by Marvel predecessor Timely Comics.^[1]  The Golden Age Vision, also known as Aarkus, is an alien law enforcement officer from a dimension called Smokeworld.^[3] While Aarkus is looking for a suitable place to exile a prisoner, he is accidentally contacted by Earth scientist Markham Erickson. Leaving the prisoner on the planet Jupiter, Aarkus accepts Erickson's invitation to fight crime on Earth.^[4] Aarkus does so for several years, although during World War II he is briefly manipulated by the Axis powers into fighting the Allies. The superhero team the Invaders help Aarkus realize his mistake.^[5]  In The Avengers #97 (March 1972), Rick Jones summons Vision, among other Golden Age heroes, to assist the Avengers during the Kree–Skrull War.^[6] Back to me:

458. The Creature from the Black Lagoon review!

              What more can one say about this great movie?  Well, I try to come up with some new stuff.  Let me know how it plays out!

Devo Love Without Anger

                 I am kinda surprised that I have not had more Devo music on this blog over the years.  I love the band, especially those first four LPs.

457. Kimba The White Lion episodes 31-35!

            The seventh set of Kimba The White Lion cartoons.  These are really good, and have some very artistic scenes in them.

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 12-29-1985

 Sometimes Dad should be a bit more involved in feeding Calvin, don'tcha think?  And perhaps Mom should not feed Calvin something that might try to eat him.

456. Another Ghidrah The Three Headed Monster review!

            Here we have the fifth Godzilla movie.  I did have to trim about 2 minutes out of the episode to get it published.

Well, I had planned on reviewing The Creature from the Black Lagoon today on the podcast, but since next week Sven is airing Monster Zero, I figured I had better review this fine film today, and do the Creatch on Tuesday.  I have written about the movie a lot here, so I will not do that for this post.  It is a fine movie, and I think I like it a bit more than Monster Zero, but only because I have seen it longer.

455. Challenge of the Masters (19769) review!

        As promised, here it is!  I really like this movie a lot, I think it is #4 of Lau Kar-Leung's movies.  It's great.

Challenge of the Masters (1976)

 

I reviewed this about two years ago here on the blog, and that was about the second time I had watched it.  Guess what is going to be on the podcast tomorrow?

454. 7 Song Friday 3-21-2025

            Here we have another set of seven songs!  Poor Russia.  We also hope the other claims aren't too serious.
