Anthony George Comic Book
« on: October 16, 2003, 05:32:01 PM »
Hey,
      Fans of Anthony George (Burke Devlin # 2/Jeremiah Collins) will probably want to check out a short feature on a comic book adaptation of the TV series "Checkmate" on which he played "Don Corey." This series ran prior to his DS years. The funny thing is that on the cover, his eyes look out of sync, rather like he's doing a "Popeye the Sailor Man" look.  ;)
Anyway, here's a link
http://www.comicbookresources.com/columns/oddball/

If you don't check it out today, 10/16/03, then go to the Archives section from that page. Its a cool daily site reviewing unusual comics from the past. Likewise, a while back there was a feature on Jonn Jonzz, Manhunter from Mars that relvealed his artist later worked on the Gold Key DS comics. (The Archives go back several years, I don't recall the date on that one. If I find it, I'll post the date.)

       Have fun on the site, I always do.

Hey,
      I did find the date for the feature on Jonn Jonzz. The date in the Oddball Comic Book Archives is 9/22/2003. Here's a link to that page.

Again, readers of the old Gold Key Dark Shadows comics may want to check this out as the artist for Jonn Jonzz was Joe Certa who drew the Gold Key series. On that page you can click and get panels that have Jonn with a similar grim expression you may remember on Barnabas during his Gold Key stint.  :'(    Joe had a pretty distinctive heavy dark line style. I always found the DS Gold Key comics more mrobid and other worldly than the TV show in many ways. Especially the one where the plague spread.

I live in Upstate NY, in an area called the 'Triple Cities', (3 small cities that are close together).  They are  Binghamton, where I live, Johnson City, and Endicott, NY (where Anthony George lives!).   My Mom had told me years ago that he was from here, but I wasn't sure 'till I read it on Stuart Manning's web-site.  I don't know if I'd recognize him if I saw him on the street.  Our cities are only 15-20 min. apart.  It would be neat to meet him someday.  I don't think he's ever attended a Festival.
