For Your Consideration: Popeye Vol. 1: Best Comic Book Stories by Bud Sagendorf
by Robert Greenberger
We’ve all come to know and love Popeye, the world’s best known sailor. Some can even tell you that he debuted in Thimble Theatre, a popular comic strip crated by Elzie Segar. As the story goes, Popeye was introduced as a walk on player in the Oyl family’s ongoing saga, but shortly after he departed, the readers demanded his return.

For Your Consideration: IDW’s Dick Briefer’s Frankenstein
by Robert Greenberger
Your image of Frankenstein’s monster all depends upon when you were born and first were introduced to the creature. After all, some generations know him from Boris Karloff’s marvelous performance in the first few Universal horror films, adapting the Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley novel. Others may know him from the more refined makeup sported by Glenn Strange for over a decade, which became the template forever after, as seen by Fred Gwynne’s comedic turn in The Munsters.
Today, it’s hard to say what people’s image might be of the creature made up of many dead parts. What’s safe to say is that all too few comic book readers conjure up images of Dick Briefer’s wonderful Frankenstein and that’s a shame. Fortunately, that’s about to change thanks to Yoe Books forthcoming volume Dick Briefer’s Frankenstein, kicking off IDW’s new The Masters of Horror Comic Book Library.
Beauology 101 :Love/Hate And Being In The Middle
by Beau Smith
Love/hate relationships are strange. For many years I had one with working conventions for the various publishers and companies that I worked for: Eclipse Comics, Image Comics, McFarlane Toys, Todd McFarlane Productions, and IDW Publishing. The Love/Hate part was working the booth.
Working the booth started with making sure everything got to the convention site, dealing with what didn’t, setting up the booth and displays, greetings and meetings through the convention, selling merchandise, doing panels, and tearing down the booth when the show was done.
