June 27th Dan Jurgens and Jackson " Butch " Guice
Now they have both worked on a lot of different comic books but since they were both part of the creative teams during the latter part of John Byrne´s post - Crisis Superman revamp they had to share a post in 2016.

Another topic I have neglected way too long for a blog called TALES FROM THE KRYPTONIAN is the post - Crisis relaunch of the Man of Tomorrow by John Byrne and I had hoped to rectify that situation on April the 26th which was Kerry Gamill´s 65th birthday. Especially since I finally bought the Superman - The Exile and other stories omnibus hardcover that continues with the reprints where the Man Of Steel trade paperback series left off.
I know that Kerry Gamill did a lot of work for Marvel Comics - and you can see some of that work like his brilliant issues of Powerman & Iron Fist in my very first Kerry Gamill birthday post that I wrote last year - but for me he is eternally linked to the new Superman continuum. Looking back from a time where nobody seems to get - or care - what Superman is all about it was like the golden times of Superman history for me. Because it was the time when I got fully immersed in the US comics as every new issue and series seemed to be part of a giant story - which in fact it was. The whole shebang kicked off with John Byrne´s Man of Steel mini series followed by Superman and Action Comics by John Byrne and Adventures of Superman by MarvWolfman and Jerry Ordway. Then John Byrne left but you had guys like Dan Jurgens and Ron Frenz picking up the slack so in the The Exile omnibus ( which picks up in this interim period of art team changes ) you have a literally Who´s Who of the best comic artists DC had access to with the legendary CurtSwan, GeorgePerez, Dan Jurgens, JerryOrdway, Mike Mignola, P. Craig Russell, Brett Breeding and last but not least Kerry Gamill.

Speaking about erotic dancers Sylvester Stallone turns 73 this very day and besides the successful movie series of Rocky and Rambo he also starred in other movies like Tango & Cashwhere Teri Hatcher played erotic dancer Kiki . I would say stripper but a striptease implies taking off more clothes.

Which a then still very youngTeriHatcherdid inTheCoolSurface . By the way if you name your daughter Kiki you have already predestined her for a life on the pole. For which sex kitten Teri Hatcher definitely had the body.

She played the BEST Lois Lane on tv so far and was the first actress who made it believable that Superman would choose her over the ultimate sex bombs in the Justice League of America like Big Barda or Wonder Woman.

She also was in Desperate Housewives where Teri proved she still lookedracktastic . And who could ever forget the " I´m not a stripper ! " scene ?

Check out my last post on cult siren Teri Hatcher to read more about her comic book connections like her appearance in Tales From The Crypt or Tango & Cashwhere she showed her porn star body and her dancing skills.

On a much more comic related note is Burt Ward´s 74th birthday and I probably don´t have to mention that he played Robin on the campy 70s Batman tv show. Which was actually pretty close to the comicbooks at that time because Denny O´Neil and Neal Adams back to the roots approach with the grim and gritty Dark Night Detective came afterwards.
I haven´t seen much of the tv series because the DVD sets are always too expensive but maybe I can get them at some sale. And if it´s only to check out Batgirl Yvonne Craig. No wonder they couldn´t get a Batgirl in the comics fast enough after feasting their peepers on Yvonne´s curves.

Here´s the lovely Yvonne working on her tan in a clip from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. And before you go through your DVD collection this is from ONE SPY TOO MANY, a feature film version of the tv show that combined both The Alexander the Greater Affair episodes. The subplot and footage with Yvonne Craig was just shot for the film and did NOT appear on tv.
