Mezzrow himself served as the narrator,” reported The New York Times the following day. On New Year’s Day of 1947, not long after Random House published Mezz Mezzrow’s memoir, Really the Blues, there took place at Town Hall a kind of musical-revue version of his life. ![]() ![]() Lutes weaves these characters lives into the larger fabric of a city slowly ripping apart, crafting a polyphonic novel that is rich in its historical detail and as timely as ever in its depiction of a society slowly awakening to the stranglehold of fascism.

You can click here to check out the details, which Ross discussed in his art book Marvelocity. It’s fitting for another reason too: Back in 2018, we broke the story of how Ross had wanted to reboot the Fantastic Four but Marvel declined his pitch. So it seemed only fitting that we invite Ross to head up our annual Kirby birthday salute and the artist agreed to go out on a limb and rank his TOP 13 Kirby Fantastic Four covers. ![]() It’s Ross’ homage to not just the team that launched the Marvel Age but to the spectacular creativity of Jack Kirby, who was born 105 years ago on Aug. 6, a joint publishing project by Marvel and Abrams ComicArts. Probably the year’s most anticipated book - Fantastic Four: Full Circle, written and illustrated by megastar Alex Ross - is hitting comic shops Aug. A JACK KIRBY Birthday Salute by the superstar creator of Fantastic Four: Full Circle… ![]() ![]() I continue to be really entertained by this series, impressed with the worldbuilding, love the found family and friendship vibes, and conflicted about the tightrope line the authors are walking in regards to Curran’s alphahole-ness.

She doesn’t take it well and things go downhill from there. The book opens with Kate being stood up on her first date with Curran. ![]() This is probably the most action-packed of the books so far (and *action* packed, cough wink). The authors pair that really well with the relationship conflict Curran and Kate are having. ![]() The conflict in this one had some serious stakes, and the bad guys were seriously creepy/scary. ![]() ![]() They are willing to help with the bodily needs of others, but they are neither willing nor equipped to help fight the Dauntless army.

I can go on and on, but I will leave it at this. This is Gaiman at this best in my opinion. Many people wouldn't have put that in the story, but it takes it to a whole new level and adds something special and magical. I think my favorite part of the whole thing was the Danse Macabrae. I can't wait to finish the story with Vol. I guess I have a bit darker streak than she does at times. We like many of the same stories and she was not a fan.

Of the hundreds of people investigated around the country, some 190 were formally charged with crimes, leading to more than 80 convictions. Even though there was no physical evidence to back up these fantasies, families were torn apart, innocent people spent years in prison and day care facilities closed. The children told lurid stories of killing animals and babies, drinking blood, playing with naked adults and taking part in satanic rituals. After that, hysteria moved to New Jersey, New York, Michigan, Massachusetts, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Ohio and Minnesota, with day care workers arrested, charged, tried and convicted of committing unimaginable crimes.
