It seems you have to be careful what you wish for because while finishing my last post I went over all the black and white art of Jim Starlin and realized that not only have I not done a post on his birthday on the 9th of this month but I have all the original art from an issue of CAPTAIN MARVEL.
Mind you, not the Bronze Age classic but the new series by Peter David.
Of which I am not the biggest fan for various reasons that I don´t want to go into detail for time reasons. Those who visit the blog on a regular basis have heard me complain about these things enough and for the rest it is not that important. Just let it be noted that in my opinion there was a lot of room for improvement. Which is one of my major grievances with Peter David. If the series would have been bad because he´s a hack and can´t do any better that would have been okay. But he has shown that he can write on a much higher level - provided he puts enough effort into it.
So when the series is subpar because he doesn´t care about the readers and just wants to follow his own quirks and feed his own ego and even goes as far as inserting scenes in a comic shop so he can rebuff readers who complain - that´s when I start having a problem. And that´s when I am not willing to pay money to finance a writer´s ego trip. Anyway, I said I wasn´t going to go into detail about the things that I didn´t like in Peter David´s CAPTAIN MARVEL run so I have already said more than enough.
Now you might ask yourself if I dislike it that much why am I making a post about it ? Well, for one while there are a lot of things I did not like there were a few things that I liked enough to buy some issues. And it´s not that Peter David is a bad writer per se. It´s just that he has a lot of stuff and personal hang ups he likes to put into his writing which at first you don´t notice but over the course of a few years can get very repetitive and formulaic. So at some point you stop reading the story and only wait for the STAR TREK reference, the reference from a current blockbuster movie to drop and who is going to say " And don´t call me Shirley. " and when ( by the way, I am 100 percent sure that Count Duckula used that running gag first ). So it may not be as much Peter David´s fault and more my own because I have just gotten over - saturated with his writing.
Another factor that made me question the validity of this post was the fact that the original art pages are very small. I would have preferred it if they would have been bigger but you can see the art well enough and it´s also not that often that you find an entire issue. I think I found it on COMICARTFANS but I don´t remember in whose gallery. If you recognize the pages and want me to put a link int he post send me an e - mail.
Okay, so far I have talked a lot about the reasons why NOT to make this post. So let´s take a look at why I finally decided to do it anyway. I said in my last post that I wanted to do another post for Halloween or around Halloween and while the story from issue eleven is not a scary story it does have something to do with the dead - in this case Genis - Vell´s father Mar - Vell - and especially departed family members. It may not be what you deal with in the american version of Halloween but it´s what El Dia De Los Muertos the mexican´s celebration of the dead is all about.
The story also feature Thanos who is on everybody´s mind right now thanks to Avengers : Infinity War ( which was not as bad as I had feared but suffered from tons of needless SJW crap ) so that´s another bonus.
And as I have already said so far I have not done a post for Jim Starlin´s birthday this year. Or ever. Now that I think of it I never did a post for him. So now I can check that form my bucket list and he can share it with Peter David if he wants. So let´s travel back to a time when things were not quite perfect with Captain Marvel but at least he was not a woman.
Not that I have a problem with a female Captain Marvel. We had a very capable female Captain Marvel during one of my favorite runs by Roger Stern, John Buscema and Tom Palmer ( and one day I can hopefully continue my posts on that series ) and she was black. But the entire publicity stunt they did with Miss Marvel becoming Captain Marvel so that a new heroine can claim the title Miss Marvel - not the biggest fan of that.
Anyway, this introduction has already taken up more of your time than necessary so let´s dive right into the issue and happy Samhain to you all.

Nia Long 48
We continue with another hot sexbomb, nubian 38D goddess, the lovely Nia Long who turns 48 which means that if I ever had sex with her I would still do it with a woman who´s younger than me. Chupate eso, Will Smith.
Of course this will not impress Will Smith since he probably banged her brains out when they were together. Now maybe you have heard of the Mandela Effect - which is in short when people think things happened a certain when in reality it is not true but because so many think it is true it is considered fact by most people - but the truth is that Will´s wife Jada Pinkett Smith was never on The Fresh Price of Bel Air. But they did meet on set. Okay, most people think that Jada then only Pinkett played Will´s girlfriend who tamed him and got him to give up his womanizing ways but while it is true that she auditioned for the role she was considered too short and so the role was given to Nia Long. Personally I would have given the part to Nia in the first place since I think she´s way hotter than Jada.
Anyway, Jada WAS on the set of The Fresh Price of Bel Air because she auditioned for the role of Will´s girlfriend and that´s when she met him.
Of course a big part of that show´s success and continued appeal around the world ( there are probably only a few people on the face of the planet who can´t recite the lyrics to the title song in their sleep ) is TatyanaAli who grew from a cute little girl into an incredible sexbomb over the course of that series and who got to show her musical skills.
Much to the chagrin of the show´s producers she really bOObed all out in later movie appearances like The Clown at Midnight or Fall Into Darkness .
Now Will Smith has gone on record that the relationship between him and Tatyana Ali has always been that between a big brother and his little sister but I don´t believe that he never put her body to the test not even once.
The same goes for Nia Long since she and Will also were together in Made in America and if you have seen the movie you know how absolutely do - able Nia looks in that movie. And Will was in his sexual prime. So it´s a sure bet there were some r - rated rehearsals going on in their trailers.
Besides The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Made in America Nia Long is best known for Boyz n the Hood, Friday ( which I have both seen ) and the Big Momma´s House movies which I haven´t seen. She has some lingerie scenes in the movies but so far seeing Martin Lawrence in women´s clothing has kept me from watching it so far. I don´t know why so many people think it´s especially funny to see a man wearing women´s clothing.
I did see The Best Man and The Best Man Holiday back to back because I was unaware of the first one and only found out about the big brouhaha they made when the second one came out. I think I first heard of this on an episode of The Arsenio Hall Show where the cast appeared and Nia looked like the star of one of those MILFs Like It Big porns that are so popular now. Which is why I knew I already wrote something about her.
Longtime readers may remember that I cut off the part with her, Tatyana Ali, Letoya Luckett and Kenya Moore from the post because the upload time for all the animated GIFs was way too long. Ah, the naiivite of youth.

We come back to comic books with P. Craig Russell celebrating his 67th birthday. I don´t know if it was the first work I saw of P. Craig Russell but his adaption of Michael Moorcock´s Elric of Melniboné in Epic and the first Marvel graphic novels are some of my favorite comics by P. Craig Russell and they are definitely the first comics where I took notice of this artist.
So naturally I got his Killraven graphic novel when it came out and I don´t know if I was already aware of that character through his appearance in Marvel Team - Up or if this started my interest in that particular future.
Now I won´t go as far as saying that P. Craig Russell is one of my favorite artists since there is a lot of his stuff out there that I never cared to get like his adaptions of Oscar Wilde stories or certain operas but he´s also not an artist that I go out of my way to avoid. One of the reasons why I include these birthday sections is that with all the things life throws at you some things are forgotten and it´s nice to be reminded once in a while that maybe I should get these Elric comic books now that Titan Books has released them in nice new hardcovers. I may already have one or two of these but they are either split up between issues of Epic or my hardcover is so worn out that buying a new one might be a good idea.
