<p class="Normal"><span class="tm5"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Back when Marvel Comics was still Atlas Comics and Martin Goodman was the owner Westerns were hugely popular.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm5"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Western movies, TV shows, toys and merchandise were all the craze then, especially with kids.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm5"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Atlas Comics had its selection of Western titles such as the original Ghost Rider, Two-Gun Kid and Rawhide Kid.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm5"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Eventually when Atlas became Marvel Westerns fell out of favor. Early on during the transition Westerns were holding on-the most popular being Rawhide Kid.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm5"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">To Marvel’s credit (and writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby-among others) the Rawhide Kid remained poplar and was even incorporated into the <i><span style="color: red;"><a href="https://www.marvel.com/comics">Marvel Comics</a></span></i> Universe through the clever
use of time travel.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm5"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">In fact, occasionally the Western stars of Atlas/Marvel would rear their cowboy hat covered heads now and again.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm5"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">In the <b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Marvel Comics Essential Rawhide Kid Volume One</span></b> oversize softbound book the Marvel Rawhide Kid series is reprinted in black and white starting with issues #17 through #35.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm5"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Along with interior pages the covers are reprinted along with the text stories included with each issue.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm5"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It’s interesting how Kirby, Heck, Lee and other artists were able to make the stories of the Kid almost appear as superhero tales using interesting characters, dynamic covers and page
layouts and eve some Western lore such as Indian spirits and the like.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm5"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">For some over the top Western action be sure to check out the Rawhide Kid. </span></span></p><p class="Normal"><span class="tm5"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><i>"Very truly I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life." — John 5:24</i></span></span></span></p>BAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11047810627433514616noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154376362940470351.post-29822266629006985222024-03-15T15:30:00.001-04:002024-03-15T15:53:04.466-04:00Alfa Romeo<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoGwW3_yPjvcd4-VL10JJsv5SUqiMAn8d_GsWIniGLOhBgikC8DgUiIVo0RhZCqK03n3upJS8vGk-NJjGm_bquKcOfCf0Qh6jnx4hw_h0m4uTkMokf4AtIGXvmBItzj19pvxMLRmn3qs6GsoYkEDLs9m2cs_jJCBS6SplP7cCET_vxzBCUOv8boNZc5qc/s640/Alfa%20Romero%20An%20Illustrated%20History%201910-2020.webp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoGwW3_yPjvcd4-VL10JJsv5SUqiMAn8d_GsWIniGLOhBgikC8DgUiIVo0RhZCqK03n3upJS8vGk-NJjGm_bquKcOfCf0Qh6jnx4hw_h0m4uTkMokf4AtIGXvmBItzj19pvxMLRmn3qs6GsoYkEDLs9m2cs_jJCBS6SplP7cCET_vxzBCUOv8boNZc5qc/w400-h400/Alfa%20Romero%20An%20Illustrated%20History%201910-2020.webp" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Mention Alfa Romeo and car enthusiasts nearly swoon.</span><p></p>

<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">CBS was the king of late night comedies with such shows as The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction and other soft-pedal pabulum.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">All that changed in the1971 when, in a bold move, CBS introduced a TV series that knocked traditional TV comedy on its collective rear end.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">That show was All In The Family, created by Norman Lear.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I remember vividly watching the first episodes and was shocked by the racial jabs, colorful language and verbal tit for tat among the cast of characters.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">All In The Family was inspired by and adapted from a British TV series. Its creator Norman Lear pushed creativity, social taboos and the CBS Network to the edge.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The show was instantly popular when it premiered and stayed so throughout its entire run.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Subjects never touched upon before on TV were fair game and, while it was a comedy, it was not afraid to get its hands and feet dirty depicting real life social, political, religious and family
life.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It’s characters were flawed, often at odds with each other and happy endings didn’t always happen.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">And yet, it was obvious that members of the Archie Bunker household loved each other.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The show became so popular that many of the guest characters spotlighted in its many episodes branched off into their own series such as The Jeffersons, Good Times and Maude.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The show ran nine seasons ending with Edith’s death. Carol O’Conner (Archie Bunker) would go on to star in his own spin-off: Archie Bunker’s Place, for several more years.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The gorgeous, hardbound book contains key episode spotlights, script excerpts, cast interviews and so much more complemented by full-color photos.</span></span></p>

<p class="Normal"><span class="tm5"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I’d come home starving after school and my mom would fuss at me. But, I think that she was secretly proud of me for wanting to read so much.</span></span></p>

<p class="Normal"><span class="tm5"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">At night the small girl of Tilly’s human family would come into the barn where Tilly was parked and using a flashlight, would read books.</span></span></p>

<p class="Normal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The body chassis comes in one piece with additional parts contained within clear plastic bags. They include tires, clear pieces such as a windshield. windows, etc.), chrome parts-including bumpers, several interior

<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Teenager Pawly and her twin brother are about to find out as they begin their strange, mysterious, dangerous and frightening journey in the <b><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Werecats-Emergent-Forest-Exiles-Saga-ebook/dp/B0C56BG7BC">Werecats Emergent Book 1 Of The Forest Exiles Saga</a></span></b>, by author Mark J. Engels and publisher <i><span style="color: red;">Fazed Angle Media</span></i>.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It’s tough enough to be a teenager, but when you turn into a Werecat there’s a whole new set of problems.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Having tasted human blood Pawly must learn to control her animal instincts before they control her.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It‘s up to her family to find a way to control her and brother’s baser animal instincts.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">When a Werecat elder representing a rogue state offers to be a benefactor and protect the twins Pawly’s uncle has a difficult decision to make.</span></span></p><p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">There’s a catch, the rogue nation wants to use their powers for its own purposes.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Meanwhile certain government types also have an interest in the Werecat family. They are not the only ones.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Suddenly several powerful entities become unwilling players in a deadly game of winner take all.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">To complicate matters even more a cartel enforcer is savagely mauled on the twin’s first mission making the twins suspects.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">What I find especially interesting about Werecats Emergent is how the author explores what it means to be a Werecat. He delves into what it means to have the human and feline personas
vie against each other for control.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">He also fleshes out each character giving them distinct personalities. He does this by delving into their history, family life, friends, family, work and personal associations.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I felt as if I knew each character and liked them despite their faults and choices. Even the ‘bad’ guys were real humans, albeit with wrong motivation and flaws.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Can the transformations truly be controlled? What happens when the red blood-lust becomes too strong and human reason vanishes? </span></span></p><p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Even when certain base instincts can be tamed and channeled,
what are the risks? What’s it like to live on the edge all the time not knowing what you might do if you lose control?</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">A human/feline hybrid is unstable and lives under the constant threat of burning out in a horrific manner. It must satiate its killer instinct someway.</span></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span class="tm6"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">This book has it all: international intrigue, spies, government covert operations, hints of horror and the supernatural, secret labs and hideouts, a drug and criminal cartel, a storm at
sea, action, adventure and plot twists and turns-the list goes on and on. Phew! I’m tired keeping up on it all.</span></span></p>

<p class="Normal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Most commercial flights were still using prop aircraft. The military was the chief user of jet aircraft. Early jet fighters and transports seem clumsy and clunky as compared to modern jet aircraft. And yet there is something fascinating about their design, shape, and capabilities.</span></p><p class="Normal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">As a kid growing up in the early Jet Age I was fascinated by the new military aircraft. That was a time when the sound barrier was broken, radical new air-frame designs were tested-along with new engines,

<p class="Normal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Designed for modelers over the age of 12 years old it requires a Level 4 expertise in model making. Paint, glue and decal application is needed.</span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The model box cover spotlights the F-84F with the jet front and center with three other aircraft flying in formation behind it. Side panels include photo and specs.</span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I happen to live close to an airbase and jets of all sorts fly overhead on missions and training flights. They never cease to amaze me.</span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Like all model kits time is important. Don’t waste it. Take your time, carefully follow the instructions and never (NEVER!) detach more parts from the part trees than you need to complete one assemble

<p class="Normal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Instructions, decals and five plastic wrapped part trees are included. Assembly is easy if you follow the instructions and match part numbers on the pages with the part numbers on the part trees.</span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The F-84F model kit has a huge decal sheet with lots of decals. Any painting should be done before the aircraft model is complete and decals added when the plane is assembled. Again, take it easy, slow
and meticulous.</span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Pay particular attention to the landing gear, extra tanks, weapons and cockpit. A pilot is even included.</span></p>
