Obscurities: Look, Up in the Sky…It’s Super-Kinney!

Paul Kupperberg on October 4th, 2016

img_2383Once upon a time, the mighty Warner Entertainment was known as Warner Bros. and it wasn’t so mighty.

It’s A New York Comicon Edition of Capes, Cowls & Costumes!

Paul Kupperberg on February 5th, 2009

Actually, the latest installment of my Bookgasm.com column, Capes, Cowls & Costumes has absolutely nothing to do with the New York Comicon, where I am today.
