In the interests of pedantry...

I recently posted some selected scans from 'Moderne Enzyklopädie der Erotik', including a scan of Balthus' 'The Guitar Lesson'. Some days later, the fabulous La Contessa Tumblr posted a colour version of that painting, here, taken from a larger gallery, called 'Orazio Centaro's Art Images on the Web'.

In the colour version, you can clearly see that the original is from 1934, not 1954 as indicated in the Moderne Enzyklopädie on my blog.

Just goes to show you, you can't believe everything you read.

Amazing World of DC Comics Special Edition No.1 - Addendum

I realised I neglected to include two of the more interesting pages from my recent post of The Amazing World of DC Comics Special Edition No.1, so to rectify this, here are those scans.





I've always liked Neal Adams' Batman, but his Supes looks a little goofy.

Amazing World of DC Comics Special Edition No.1

Amazing World of DC Comics Special Edition No.1 is a commemorative magazine, which also acts as a program for Super DC Convention, held in February 1976, at Hotel Commodore, New York.

I received this bundled in with an Ebay purchase, acting as a bonus free gift, and also as protective padding for whatever it was I'd actually purchased. I'm always keen for more reading material, so it was a pleasant surprise. The other comics were a 'What If', a Superman, and a Hulk, if I'm not mistaken, and they were all severely water-damaged.

A quick side-note: Old crappy comics make really good wrapping paper for gifts. Of course, sound judgment should be used when deciding which comics to destroy.

I haven't scanned the magazine in its entirety, just some of the more interesting pages.

For the record, I'm not a Superman fan, by any means. DC is definitely my preferred stable (having given the world my all-time favourite title: Garth Ennis' Preacher) but I wouldn't say I'm an ardent follower of all titles. I was a steady collector of Batman and Detective for roughly a year, coinciding with the height of Bat-Mania in 1989, and have been trying to read as many of the trades I can (most recently, 'Hush'. And what a steaming pile of manure that was), but I'm still remarkably far behind on what's been happening in Gotham over all these years...







Ever see a man say 'Yaahooo!' to a snack-cake before?





















Superman really is a dick.



So based on the pic on bottom right, am I to assume that Edward G Robinson once played the Man of Steel?



"He buys and sells us, but we like it"???

I've introduced you to Shame Spiral before.

I've remixed her fantastic track, The Image, taken from her debut EP.

Here are both tracks for your consideration.

Enjoy.
