(I can say that 'cause I'm in the tribe)<BR/><BR/>Look for anything done by the LEGENDARY Carl Barks. The guy is so legendary that after he stopped the comics, he started painting oils of "the ducks" and today the AVERAGE price for one of them is $150K.<BR/><BR/>These comics were the inspiration (as admitted by Spielberg) for the Indiana Jones films. They are educational (VERY sneakily so), engrossing and rollicking.<BR/><BR/>I cannot recommend them highly enough.<BR/><BR/>So there.<BR/><BR/>-J.<BR/><BR/>P.S.

I was at the American Library Assoc conference this week and went by the DC exhibit. They had a poster of Green Lantern, and I exclaimed, "OH! I love Green Lantern."

The guy who plays Superman?<BR/><BR/>He used to be on One Life To Live, years ago, when I actually watched soaps (well, I only watched THAT one, but still). He was AWFUL. Just horrible, terrible, the worst actor ever. Pretty, yes, but horrible.<BR/><BR/>So they fired him, right? And on his website, he posted this big crybaby pissypants rant that was just unbelievable, complete with the phrase "God will punish them" and just all kinds of bizarre shit. He yanked it down pretty quickly, but a lot of people saw it and he was mocked far and wide across the internets.<BR/><BR/>And so while I'm glad y'all enjoyed the movie and whatnot, I can't bring myself to go see it. Because to me he'll always been that wooden crybaby soap actor.<BR/><BR/>I can't freakin' WAIT until Ghost Rider comes out, though.
