Marvelous Joltin’ Joe
June 25 will mark five years since the passing of Joe Sinnott. I was fourteen when I first read an interview with Joe. It was conducted by Mark Evanier and Tony Isabella (now preferring to be called Jenny Blake), and published in Marvelmania No. 4.
Here’s the original published format, suitable for widescreen viewing.
An brief bio is in the same issue, with Joe sharing space with bad boy Sci-Fi writer Harlan Ellison.

To Hellinger and Back
Following my introduction to comic books with Superman and Batman, Daredevil was my first step into the decidedly different world of the Marvel Comics Group.

The movie is available here on Tubi.
