Buck Rogers Old Time Radio Gear from Our Krazy Kulture! (http://www.cafepress.com/ourkrazykulture)

Three years after bringing science fiction to the world of comic strips, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century introduced space opera to radio on his own program, which first aired on November 7, 1932. Originating from New York and broadcast four times weekly (initially at 7:15 P.M. and later moved to an earlier “children’s hour”), the program had a built-in audience of funny-paper readers who tuned in by the hundreds of thousands.
Plots were roughly similar to those of the comic strip, with Buck, his liberated co-pilot Wilma Deering and the brilliant Dr. Huer, daily keeping the world in one piece. The sounds of Buck’s arsenal, consisting of such futuristic devices as death rays, incendiary missiles, gamma bombs and a mechanical mole capable of burrowing deep into the Earth, were simulated by a variety of electrical and hand-powered motors. The crackling buzz of Rogers’ psychic destruction ray, for instance, was provided by a Schick razor.
Underscoring the program’s phenomenal popularity was the response to mail-order gifts offered to listeners. An initial offering of a map of the planets brought 125,000 requests. A subsequent offering of a cardboard space helmet was made more difficult to get, with the proviso that a metal seal from a can of Cocomalt, the show’s sponsor, had to accompany the request. Depression-era children nevertheless sent in more than 140,000 strips of tin for the highly desirable premium, which has since become an extremely rare and valuable collectors’ item.

Song: Run by Day of Fire
Comics: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Started working on this (and two other videos) a while back, but never finished it. I recently went and re-did the last bit to make it smoother, but I won’t be finishing it ^^;

It’s a tribute to one of my favorite Jedi, Zayne Carrick from the Knights of the Old Republic comics. I decided to post it in honor of the beginning of Star Wars: Vector, the huge Star Wars comic cross over!

All pictures are panels or covers from the comics, save three which either I drew myself or are from the game. Since there are fewer artists, I included all of them in the credits!

Hope you guys like it! Even if it’s unfinished… ^^;

Welcome back zappers, Im Devin Curry with http://Shazap.com. Your online video source for comic book news and reviews. Follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/devincurry.

I’ve loved this book so far, Mark Millar has done an amazing job of creating this future world and building the mystery of how it came to be. The anticipation was getting to me and I was getting sick of the hints and suggestions at what had happened to Logan to bring him to the place he is today. This issue is admittedly slow. There is a lul in both action and story. I had almost lost hope until the last three pages. This issue is just one big cliff hanger. Wolverine almost snaps and finally breaks down and gets ready to tell Hawkeye what he went through when the bad guys won. Now it will be a big mistake if Marvel continues to drag this on. They have teased us enough and at the end of the day this is just and basic what if or else world story so there is not much reason to stick with it other than the story itself. If the story isn’t paying off then there is no reason to keep reading. We’ll have to wait and wait and see what is to come but I remain optimistic. Distributed by Tubemogul.
