" Iron " Mike Zeck to the future Wednesday

Okay, I don´t really have a good alliteration for Wednesday but I just had to do another post for one of my favorite artists who sadly doesn´t do as much work as he used to do. Also I wanted to make this post so that all those comic hipsters out there learn what good artwork really looks like.


Today I am actually doing an excursion to the Porsche museum in Bad Cannstatt with the other members from the course at the Karlshöhe ( originally we wanted to visit a falconry park but because of the bad weather we opted for an indoor activity ) and I will probably be knocked out for the rest of the day so don´t be surprised if this post doesn´t go online before Tomorrow. Thankfully we had a free day Tomorrow so even if I can´t finish the post until then I can at least post the main stuff. By the way, is it only me or does the race car below look like Speed Racer´s car ?


With more and more works of Mike Zeck finally available in collected form you might think that I would do a spotlight on some of these classic stories like KRAVEN`S LAST HUNT that has been included in a recent Epic Collection, his CAPTAIN AMERICA issues ( although the Epic Collection line seems to skip those to reprint other CAPTAIN AMERICA work of lesser quality for some reason ) or his brilliant SHANG - CHI, MASTER OF KUNG FU where I finally decided to buy volume three of the new omnibus editions.


And I will probably get to those but the thing is I don´t know when. Right now I don´t have the time write a post that would do these topics justice so while I have to postpone those I still wanted to acknowledge Mike Zeck so like I did last year here is another small selection of his work - the well known series as well as some more obscure ones with some original art.

a callback to my post on Jack Kirby´s centennial as usual came too late to include it in the post as I have re - written my posts enough lately. Nevertheless I wanted to include it here for my readers. The good guys at COMIC GEEK SPEAK have done a special spotlight on Jack Kirby in twoparts and

cult sirens of notice

todays birthdays

Which brings us to Today´s celebrities and Justin Whalin´s 43rd birthday. He was the second Jimmy Olsen on Lois & Clark - The New Adventures of Superman which came without any explanation. Although to tell the truth I was paying more attention to TeriHatcher and her incredibly long legs.


While there were a lot of hot women on the show Teri clearly was the main attraction showing off her bouncing boobies in a lot of sexy outfits.


Speaking of MILFs and bouncing boobies, ultimate latin MILF ( in this case the m stands for mexican ) Rosie Perez turns 53 who is a real pro with getting ye olde bouncing action going whose boobs get bigger each year.


But I´m not the only one who is fascinated by Rosie´s rapidly rising rotund rack as they were even immortalized in a song by Kanye West much to the chagrin of Rosie : " I'm a woman of a certain age, if you're gonna mention me in a song, have a little respect. He mentions my breasts. When you walk down the street and you have 15 - year - old boys ... they're like, ' Yo, Rosie, D's D's, Rosie Perez,' it's no good." I´m not sure what being a woman of a " certain age " has to do with it, because strangers singing about the size of your breasts would have you uncomfortable at any age.

Someone who surely has some thoughts along that line is Craig Ferguson who makes her come again and again ... as a guest on his show I mean.



Originally I wanted to post a video from The Tonight Show where she appeared with an r - rated cleavage but I haven´t found it yet on YouTube.


We´re staying with hot cult sirens with Betsy Russell who celebrates her 54th birthday and who is best known for getting her freak on - and her clothes off - in such classic screwball comedies like Private School, Tomboy or Cheerleader Camp. She also starred in the Angel sequel Avenging Angel, appeared in an episode of the Superboy tv series and had a short but memorable erotic scene in 1992´s Delta Heat with Anthony Edwards.


Speaking about hot sexbombs and the 90s, PLAYBOY´s Playmate of the Month in January 1990 turns 56. The Miss Nude World 1981 appeared not only in a lot of PLAYBOY videos thanks to her stunning 36E - 23 - 35 measurements, she also played a stripper in Beverly Hills Cop II, Maggie in Lady Avenger, Keela in Phoenix the Warrior and was in the obligatory episode of Baywatch. Since I don´t have such a big picture archive as I used to I had to go looking for pictures of her which took some time. 


There are too many playmate birthdays in the year to put them all on the blog so I concentrate on the few I´m familiar with from the time when the PLAYBOY was a big part of my regular reading material and Peggy McIntaggert really stood out because of her incredible Power Girl figure.


Now obviously I can´t post any of her PLAYBOY videos - even if I managed to find them on YouTube - but she also was in an episode of Family Feud where playmates from the 80s compete against playmates of the 90s. There is another episode with playmates but I don´t think Peggy is in it.



We´re coming back to Germany one final time with comedian / song writer / singer Willy Astor who also celebrates his 56th birthday although he´s not nearly as good looking as Peggy McIntaggart. I used to have at least a half dozen videos of him bookmarked but since the embedding on them all had been disabled I had to let go of all of them and even if I would not need the remaining two videos for something else I don´t have the time to watch his videos long enough to make a good choice. I am already 24 hours beyond the usual deadline and even I have to sleep some time.

Michael Winslow turns 59 who is best known for his antics in the Police Academy movie series where he appeared alongside real live Power Girl Leslie Easterbrook who had her best scene in Police Academy 4 - Citizens on Patrol where her torpedoes emerged from a pool in a wet t - shirt .


She also has a spin - off post that is re - posted most years that used to be in one post together with JanetJonesGretzky who starred alongside her in Police Academy 5 and Becky Mullen but I had to put it in three separate post because I upgraded it with a lot of animated GIFs. I also wanted to do a new version of Leslie´s post as well as Becky Mullen´s post from last year because there is some new material I already prepared in advance to add.


The post also included 80s cult siren Monique Sluyter and the Tutti Frutti girls but that part got too long and I had to give it a post of its own which I re - posted last year in a new and better version . She was a candidate from my Justice League of America casting series - I cast her as Fire a.k.a. Beatriz da Costa in the Andy Sidaris Special - and before getting her solo post she was also regularly mentioned in theannualre - posts of italian mega soccerMILFSimona Ventura . I wanted to do a new version of her post since there was some new stuff that I wanted to add to it so I´ll have to see if I can get around to do it before her next birthday comes around.


And it´s back to comics with MAD artist and GROO creator Sergio Aragones who celebrates his 79th birthday. He is a big part of my comic reading history, first through the MAD look at features and his border drawings and later through his various mini series like Fanboy, Sergio Aragones Destroy DC, Sergio Aragones Massacres Marvel ( although the DC comic was much funnier because the writing in the Marvel book was too much like the actual comics ) Louder Than Words,Actions Speak or Funnies. And yes, I have read some Groo but I don´t own more than three issues tops.


In the Dearly Departed section of Today we have blond bombshell Carol Wayne who was best known for her appearances as the buxom Matinee Lady on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. With the mega inflated body of a living blow up sex doll predestined for the adult industry ( her exact body measures are not known but it is assumed that they were around 39DD - 24 - 35 ) she did a nude PLAYBOY pictorial in February 1984.


With a curvaceous body that must have been the envy of most porn stars of that time she had many fans who followed her guest appearances on such television shows like I Spy, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. , The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. , The Fall Guy or Love American Style where she played a very distracting buxom secretary. She also had roles in the movies Gunn, The Party and her last one Heartbreakers in which she had a nude scene. Carol appeared in many sketches on The Red Skelton Show but she gained her greatest fame for her 100 plus appearances as the Matinee Lady between 1971 and 1984. Holy Moley, she would have made one hell of a Power Girl !
