Michael Shanks As Hawkman

TV Guide Magazine's Hawkman Swoops Into Smallville has the following first look at Michael Shanks in costume as Hawkman:

The costume is based on the current version of the Winged Wonder. The helmet does look a lot better than the one that was worn by Bill Nuckols on the 1979's tv special, Legends of the Superheroes:

Yes, that's Black Canary (Danuta Rylko Soderman) and Captain Marvel (Garrett Craig) in the picture with him.

Thrift Store Finds: Bat Masterson And Constantine

I found two books at a local thrift store this morning that I just could not pass up. The first was Bat Masterson by Wayne C. Lee with illustrations by Adam Szwejkowski that was published by Whitman in 1960. This was an authorized edition based on the television series starring Gene Barry. This is in better shape than the Annie Oakley in Danger at Diablo book that I found a few weeks ago at another thrift store for three dollars. The price of Bat Masterson only set me back a dollar.

The second book was Constantine by John Shirley published by Pocket Books in 2005. This is the novelization of the movie based on the Hellblazer comic book published by DC Comics under the Vertigo imprint. I actually enjoyed the movie but maybe it is because I have only read a handful of the comics. Constantine was also a dollar.

Adam West And Julie Newmar On Batman: The Brave And The Bold

According to Comics Continuum, Adam West and Julie Newar will be the voice of of Thomas and Martha Wayne on Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode titled "Chill of the Night" written by Paul Dini. Other major voices will include Kevin Conroy as the Phantom Stranger and Mark Hamill as The Spectre.

Yesterday's Thrift Store Find: Adventures of Tintin Volume 5

I found The Adventures of Tintin Volume 5 yesterday at a local thrift store for a dollar. The hardback collects the following three adventures: "Land of Black Gold", "Destination Moon" and "Explorers on the Moon". I was surprised that it was it in good condition considering that this was a used book.


I remember watching the Tintin cartoon on tv back in the early Nineties but I never read any of the comic strips so this is indeed a treat. If you want your own copy, then you can get one using the following:

Starfleet Command Badge

I decided to pick up a box of Kellogg's Corn Pops yesterday since it was on sale. I did not get the toy until this morning before I mowed the grass. I lucked out and found the Starfleet Command Badge. I only need the Starfleet Science and Klingon Empire badges to complete the set.

Fifty Years Ago Today: Death of a Superman

In memory of George Reeves (January 5, 1914 – June 16, 1959).

Romulan Empire Badge

I found this Romulan Empire badge in a box of Froot Loops as part of Kellogg's Star Trek beam-up badge premium toys collection and emits a green beam of light when the center is pressed:

Now I only need three more to finish the set.

FOX's Human Target

Human Target is a brand new tv series coming from FOX based on the DC Comics series. According to Comics Continuum, the series will premiere on Sunday, January 10, 2010 before moving to Wednesday night. Mark Valley will star as Christopher Chance with Jackie Earle Haley as Guerrero and Chi McBride as Winston.

This is not the first time that Human Target has been a tv series. Rick Springfield played Christopher Chance in only seven episodes on ABC in 1992. Yes, I watched the first series and I am really looking forward to watching this new series.

Star Trek Beam-Me Up Badge

I like Star Trek much better than Star Wars but I cannot see the new movie on the big screen due to finances. However, I just had to get a box of Kellogg's Rice Krispies so I can obtain a Star Trek Beam-Me Up Badge. I like the cereal and I like the toy even better. The set has five badges: three Starfleet (command, engineering and science), one Klingon and one Romulan. I managed to obtain the engineering beam-me up badge that lights up when you press a button on the side.

Here are some pictures of my Star Trek Beam-Me Up Badge:
