Welcome back to the third and installment about Joe Staton´s run on Green Lantern and as promised in my previous Joe Staton GREEN LANTERN post we are saving the best for last which means that this post is about somebody who is not just a guy. Or one of the guys. No, he is THE Guy !
That´s right boys and girls. Today it´s all about the double punching Duke of Density, the obnoxious Overlord of Optimism, the Figaro of forgotten Finesse, the two - fisted Titan of Testosterone, the Master of Machismo, the one and only Guy Gardner and his exploits - first in the three part mini series GUY GARDNER : REBORN and then in his own ongoing series - that brought the myth, the man, the legend of the one and only - often imitated never duplicated - Guy Gardner to new heights undreamed of.
And if that sounds like a bit of hyperbole and that I am excited to write about THE best Green Lantern of all times you bet I am because so far I have had what I have now officially christened " Hell Week ". I should have started sorting through my late brothers comics and books but because I didn´t have any cartons to box them I had to wait until Monday. And on Monday I had to go shopping because we had run out of everything.
Besides doing the shopping I managed to find four big cartons but I could only carry two because the trolley was at full capacity and because it was so heavy and the way home from the supermarket was so long that I was out cold for the rest of the day. On Tuesday the people who were going to empty my brothers room came and were a bit disappointed that I hadn´t already taken out all the stuff that was supposed to stay here. Which I should have done on Monday but couldn´t. Because of shopping. So I spent the whole day schlepping comicbooks around, going through boxes, throwing away books and comics that were too dirty to resell. Basically making sure that anything we could sell on eBay like computer programs, valuable comicbooks or original art didn´t end up in the trash bin and at the end I was once again completely wiped out. Wednesday was Odinday.
I know, you probably think that I meant Thorsday - which is the old name for Thursday - but it was my Odinday going back to the old name Wodan for Odin because if you have read the old Jack Kirby issues of THOR you might remember that every other issue Odin couldn´t be bothered or was not available because he was sleeping the Odinsleep. Because only the Odinsleep can replenish his energies which was the only thing that kept the land of Asgard strong and vital. Well, back then it never made much sense to him but now I know how he must have felt. With all the antics Thor, Loki, the Warriors Three, Sif, Balder and the other asgardians had it´s no wonder Odin had to take drastic measures to catch some shuteye.
Anyway, Yesterday I was one of the living dead and Today I had to make an emergency dash to the bank to make a last minute money transfer and I think the guy from the lottery license shop shortchanged me again. The reason why it was a last minute affair was that somebody was coming over for some FREE COMIC BOOK DAY / GRATIS COMIC TAG issues and also to see if there were any other comicbooks he was interested in. Which was actually the best part of the day. Spending time going through my comic collection and reminiscing about old comic series with a like minded spirit.
In the end he parted with some of my most prized possessions like the GREEN LANTERN - FINAL NIGHT Collector´s Edition, the WEDNESDAY COMICS hardcover or my LEGION OF SUPER - HEROES collections THE GREAT DARKNESS SAGA, THE CURSE and the first two volumes of SUPERBOY AND THE LEGION OF SUPER - HEROES. And even though I only got a fraction of what they are really worth I will sleep better knowing they have found a good home. So yes, that was nice but apart from this small speck of bliss this week has been just a constant uphill battle and since I already have something else to do Tomorrow I am glad for this opportunity to return to the days of easier, more chilled out four colored entertainment. Man, I hope I can still continue my FLASH FRIDAY Tomorrow. Oh, that´s right.
I haven´t told you about the new FLASH FRIDAY project yet. Don´t worry, you haven´t missed a new feature on the blog. Longtime followers may remember that there used to be a quasi - regular, almost weekly FLASH FRIDAY feature where I went over selected issues of the second volume - especially the issues done by the late Paul Ryan - and you can find the links to all the posts in this post. Anyway, now that I have to get rid of all my comicbooks time has run out so I have started to re - read the FLASH run ( no pun intended ) because there are still at least two dozen issues I have not read yet including crossovers with other books like MANHUNTER.
I had planned to read the whole day but either my mental faculties are not what they used to be or I have forgotten how hard it is to read a lot so after the first two year´s worth of issues I had to call it quits. So last week I only came as far as issue 24 and I hope I can get a few more issues in Tomorrow. Initially I wanted to re - read all the 200 FLASH issues but if I can make it to issue 75 before I have to sell them I am content. Because I think the last issue I haven´t read yet is issue 70 and there is a crossover with GREEN LANTERN. Which brings us back again to the topic of Today.
As longtime readers know I don´t like to repeat myself and since I have already written about why I never liked Kyle Rayner as a Green Lantern and why Guy Gardner is the best Green Lantern ever - at least in my opinion - we can forego any long explanations and get to the good stuff.

birthdays
You can find more birthdays from January the 19th in my THORSDAY WITH ERIK LARSEN post from 2017 and from January the 20th in my second post on Jerry Ordway´s inks on John Byrne´s FANTASTIC FOUR about Malice.
And we are staying with comicbooks as Alex Ross celebrated his 51st birthday on January the 22nd. For the longest time I could only include some scattered Alex Ross artwork here and there but I finally got to do a spotlight post for him in 2018 . Last year I didn´t make one because a. ) lack of time and b. ) lack of good material. I probably could have made one if I did one that was mainly made out of his covers for Geoff John´s run on Justice Society of America ( we will talk more about this in our next post ) or his covers for Astro City but at the moment I don´t want to use up all my good stuff from this great series since I might need it for future posts.
Sexorcist Linda Blair celebrated her 61st birthday and she got her own cult siren spin - off post in 2019 which also includes a celebrity birthday from January the 20th and another one form January the 22nd. You can find the rest of the celebrity birthdays from January the 22nd in the Alex Ross post above and a few more in this post from 2016 about which pages from the original issues of THE INCREDIBLE HULK were left out in the issues of the french GAMMA series I bought when I partook in a student exchange.
Longtime readers know that oneofmypetpeveesonthisblogiscelebratingallthebraveactresseswhoturninsufferabledreckintobearableentertainmentbytakingtheirclothesofforatleastshowwhattheirMamagavethemandwhodon´tgetenoughrecognitionforthat .
But as much as I like to feature these squirtstorm guaranteeing sweaty skin flick sensations, born - for - porn leg spreading dicktamers, stripper pole polishing professionals and talented tittilating torrid teenage teasers I don´t always have the time, space or even necessary material to feature them properly and have to console myself with re - visiting them on the few occassions where I get to mention them or on their next birthday.
So I have to mention two actresses in connection to LindaBlair and the movie SavageStreets , Linnea Quigley who shows that she has real acting chops and is not only good at taking off her clothes which is what she did in most of her later movies ( she also does it here but not in a gratuitous way ) as Linda´s deaf - mute younger sister Heather. The other is Suzee Slater whose toplessscene may be short but it´s the most memorable from the entire movie and it will pop up whenever you look for pictures.
Someone who was never on any of my casting lists for Power Girl but who would not have any trouble filling out her magical cleavage window ( he said, making another smooth segueway ) is TiffanyAmberThiessen who turned 45 on January the 23rd. The buxom brunette who has the best natural breasts in Hollywood - at least according to Howard Stern and believe me he has done some extensive research in that department - has been scorching the tv screen for quite some time with her curvaceous hardbody and her big 37DD Beverly Hills to the delight of males worldwide.
Behind the screen Tiffany Amber Thiessen was an even bigger sex freak and partook in behind the scenes sex marathons where the male crew members took turns banging her brains out and often tagteamed her.
I never was a big fan of the Beverly Hills, 90210 show but that quickly changed when I saw wet Tiffani Thiessen´s booming breasts in a bikini - which was a product of mother nature - and Tori Spelling´s growing boobs - which were a gift of Daddy and the best plastic surgery money could buy.
There was a special episode that got my attention in which Tori Spelling was dancing in a leather hooker outfit while shooting a rock music video.
She really was just shaking her big boobs in the general direction of the camera but that she did very effectively. I never was a big Tori Spelling fan but she really squeezed her huge breast into a tight leather top and just pushed them straight in your face. Now that´s what I call entertainment.
What I find a bit strange is how did such a scene get approved when her father was producing this ? Should I be concerned that Daddy dearest put it in the script or does this say more about his employees ? Maybe some disgruntled writer just decided to put his boss´ daughter into a hooker outfit and let her dance for him as payback for sleeping with his wife.
" Okay, Tori, do you think you can move more like a prostitute ? And we need to make the outfit sluttier. This is supposed to be a rock video. "
Those directors got it made, they just go " Okay guys, in the next four episodes Tiffani dresses up as a prostitute. And she has to do at least one striptease and two nude sex scenes in each episode. Which is really necessary for her character. Oh yeah, and send her to my trailer for .... extreme rehearsal. We have to go over the scene ... orally. " Those horny perverts are to thank for that Tiffani was so often in bikinis on that show.
Speaking about hookers, besides appearing on Beverly Hills 90210 Tiffani also was on Saved by the Bell with Elizabeth Berkley who revealed her realstrippernatureinShowgirls ( she was practically dicktamed for this role by the cast members - and producers - of Saved By The Bell who took turns slambanging her senseless when they were not busy using Tiffany Amber Thiessen as a blow up sex doll ). The movie was called a flop when it first come out but in the meantime it has become a cult classic mainly based on Elizabeth´s strippermoves which left me no other chance than cast her as one of my alternate choices for Nympho Supergirl from Earth XXX in my second alternatives post for casting the Justice League movie .
She would get a different origin in which her rocket was bombarded by the radiation of pink kryptonite which turns all female kryptonians into super horny blow up sex dolls. Because of the long exposure to the pink kryptonite the effects would be permanent ( instead of only temporary like usual ) and Nympho Supergirl would have different powers like sex strength, peep vision, erection vision, perv hearing, orgasmic flight, ovaric speed, tantra healing, kama sutra flexibility, sex olympics stamina, multiple position memory, fellatio breath and deepthroat breath. I would say she also has the power to give all men giant erections making their pulsating dicks hard enough to cut diamonds as soon as they look at her but with Miss Berkeley´s super sexy stripper moves that´s a given.
But double jointed Elizabeth not only licks the chrome off your steelhard pole she has the all important " pumping pelvic thrust " move down to pat.
I bet that comes in handy with that portable casting couch she allegedly has and I would not mindbeing at the receiving end of thata few hours .
Speaking of grade - a casting couch material, on January the 24th we had one of my all - time crushes TatyanaAli who celebrated her 42nd birthday.
She is best known as Ashley Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air where she was a big part of that show´s success and continued appeal around the world ( there are only a few people who can´t recite the title song in their sleep ) and grew from a cute little girl into an incredible sexmachine.
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 the insanely do - able Tatyana Ali has always been like the relationship between a big brother and his little sister but I don´t believe that he never put her booming tireless teenage body to the test not even once.
Either that or the relationship between a big brother and his little sister and what happens between them at night behind bedroom doors ( or in the shower during the day ) is a lot different where Will Smith grew up.
The only other explanation is that whenever Tatyana Ali got Will hard enough to cut a diamond he vented his pent up sexual energy on one of the other blow up sex dolls on the set like dicktamer Yunoka Doyle. She played Ashley Banks´ bosom buddy Keesha - with a big emphasis on the bosom part - and probably spent the rest of the day after the shooting had ended screaming at the top of her lungs as Will banged her brains out.
After this quartet of silver screen sex goddesses it is back to comic books with the legendary John Romita Senior who turned 91. Once again I have to drop a few links for new readers. I did a post on John Romita Sr. in 2016 which is all about the Marvel Visionaries : John Romita Sr hardcover which I really can´t recommend enough, I posted issues 108 and 109 of Amazing Spider - Man and in 2017 I did a post on Amazing Spider - Man Annual 16 where he inked his son John Romita Jr´s pencils. The latest one is another post on his excellent Amazing Spider - Man run I did in 2018 which also includes more birthdays from January the 24th and you can also find a few more in the post about the Marvel Visionaries : John Romita Sr hardcover.
We start our Dearly Departed section of this post as Russ Meyer muse Haji´s day of birth has another anniversary. I went over the post I did in 2016 and since there is nothing I could add at this point here is the link .
Speaking of Russ Meyer movies, one of my favorites is UP ! starring Raven De La Croix. She looks like a real life Wonder Woman and it´s a shame there never was a Wonder Woman movie with Raven in the lead role. The former blow up sex doll template practically played the role of überbusty amazonian princess in the 1984 Jim Wynorsky skin flick The LostEmpire.
I wrote a bit more about Raven De La Croix in my first Justice League Casting Alternates post and you can find more about the Russ Meyer movie UP ! in this post about Alan Davis´ mini series SUPERBOY`S LEGION including some new GIFs of born for porn actress Janet Wood who tried to bang homosexual co - star Robert McLane straight again in the worst way.
As a last word on Russ Meyer I have to mention my entry into the Boob Hall of Fame for Tura Satana which I re - posted in 2016 which is mostly about Faster Pussycat ! Kill ! Kill ! ( The Devil Women of Tittfield in german ) although it touches on her other movies and has her full bio.
january 25th
Comic writer Geoff Johns celebrated his 48th birthday and I wasn´t sure if I should include him because I used to have a love / hate relationship with his work which has now turned into this love / hate / love relationship.
Because on one side he has written some of my favorite comics like Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. and the Justice Society of America books that followed. As longtime readers know anything which gives us more Power Girl is okay in my book and Thy Kingdom Come is one of my all - time Justice Society of America stories . He also had a great run on Flash - which had most of its momentum stolen when Scott Kolins took over the art - his Teen Titans restart not only brought a lagging comic series back from limbo but also cemented Mike McKone´s cult status and for the longest time he steadily churned out instant Green Lantern classics like the Siniestro Corps War.
Not to mention his force de work Final Crisis : Legion of Three Worlds where George Perez went totally nuts and drew every frigging person who was ever a member which is so awesome that I had topostallfiveissues ?
On the other side his Green Lantern stories got more convoluted and dark and negative until I left the title and apart from such short glimpses of his former glory as on the Aquaman restart I´m not a big fan of what he has written for the New 52 or the general direction in which he has lead the DC universe since becoming the new President and Chief Creative Officer.
And then there are shows like Smallville, Arrow and The Flash on which he has worked and which I absolutely love. I don´t know, I watch these shows and I ask myself if I am seeing the genuine love he has for these characters or if it´s only because there are also other writers involved who balance him out. Because every time I look at his recent comic book I see none of that love. It´s just full of disdain and negativity. Like being a hero is a bad thing and he´s trying to persuade us to not think positive, not to care about things and not to get involved or try to help others.
In any case, he has written some of my favorite stuff and everything else is not that important. Like somebody said : in comics you get to decide what is part of the continuity and what not and in a few years we won´t even have to pretend that the New 52 never happened because DC will find a way to explain that it was some parallel world or just a bad dream.
Speaking about dreams, french actress Florence Geanty turned 55 and she is best known for her role on the tv soap called Sous Le Soleil ( Under the Sun ) or simply St. Tropez in german and one of the few episodes in which she appeared was La Fin D´Un Réve which means The End Of A Dream.
Florence Geanty was perfectly cast as she plays the ex - stripper Marie ( Marion in german which made it a bit difficult to find infos on her ) whom the ex - cop of the series tries to reform. It´s not hard to see why and he even ends up marrying her but like in all soaps it has to end in tragedy.
Now very often women in soaps don´t look like they could really do the job they have on these shows - like Kyra Sedwick who in real life couldn´t scare a mouse - but Florence Geanty really has a porn star body that could have launched her into a very successful career as a striptease super star.
You can find a much more extensive list of birthdays from January the 19th up until the 25th in this tribute to Gene Colan´s dynamic DAREDEVIL run from last year and just from January the 25th in this spotlight post on the spanish comics I read in my youth or my post on the first issue of Geoff Johns and George Perez FINAL CRISIS : LEGION OF THREE WORLDS series.
We continue in the real of comicbooks on January the 26th with Sal Buscema who celebrated his 85th birthday. He was one of my favorite artists growing up and even though I was not as excited to see his art as I was whenever his big brother did an issue he brightened many issues of Die Ruhmreichen Rächer - how the Avengers were called by the publisher Williams Verlag. It is something nobody in Germany seems to remember.
Coming back to Sal Buscema he did most of the issues of Marvel - Team Up when I started reading comics so in most cases he did the first version of a lot of super heroes I saw. Throughout the years there have been many books he illustrated that I came to love like his fabulous Rom, Spaceknight series where I have a lot of the issues ( not all of them ) and still hope Marvel finds a way to reprint them so I can buy - and read - them all over again. I mean they managed to put Shang Chi, Master of Kung Fu into four nice omnibus hardcovers so the least they could do would be a few Epic Collections. Speaking of Rom, Spaceknight that is one of the two issues missing in the Secret Wars II omnibus together with Micronauts because both of them are licensed properties where the print rights had expired.
Since I mentioned Marvel Team Up, Sal Buscema also did his share of world building in the webbed corner of the Marvel universe and in 2018 I did a post on his amazing 100 issue run on Spectacular Spider - Man . Which I also would like to see in trade. I got the Spider - Man : Tombstone trade but that came out four years ago and I would like to continue reading.
The post also includes links to earlier Sal Buscema posts for new readers.
There is a tribute post about all the different books he worked on that I wrote in 2015, another post I did in 2014 where I talked about his run on The Incredible Hulk - ( which lasted 10 years ! ) where I also mentioned other favorite periods in the Hulkster´s history, a second Hulk post where I listed which pages were missing in my french issues of Gamma and a Hulk post to pimp volume 7 of the Essentials which was offered for just 8 bucks at amazon. Last but not least I posted issue 1 and issue 2 of Amazing Spider - Girl where he inked over Ron Frenz and in 2017 I did a special Thorsday post about one of my favorite Mutant Massacre crossovers .
No longer with us to celebrate his anniversary is Paul Newman whom I always got mixed up with Steve McQueen. Probably because when I was growing up you got either one or the other in all the good movies. Of course now I don´t confuse Paul Newman with other actors because he´s the one in the movie Cool Hand Luke ( known as Der Unbeugsame - The Unbending in Germany which is the same title The Natural with Robert Redford got here ) with real life Power Girl Joy Harmon´s famous car wash scene. Never underestimate the effect giant, wet boobs that are pressed tightly against glass can have on the memory. Just ask Simona Ventura .
And you can find an extended spotlight with the best GIFs of Joy Harmon in my spin - off post about Phil Foglio´s adult comic series XXENOPHILE.
Comic legend Frank Miller celebrated his 63rd birthday on January the 27th and there are two things you automatically think about when you hear the name Frank Miller. Now I haven´t done a post about BATMAN - THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS but I already mentioned Frank Miller in this post in 2015 that was an overview of the DAREDEVIL series and my post from 2017 was all about DAREDEVIL issue 181. Since I don´t like to repeat myself and I tend to throw my readers a curve ball from time to time my Frank Miller post from 2018 was all about his work on the Spider - Man related books and we returned to DAREDEVIL in 2019 with a BLACK AND WHITE post.
Like I have often said I only include playmates I am familiar with and as I was just graduating from school in 1984 a lot of them fall into that period.
1984 in particular was an exceptionally good year for playmates as not only AndySidaris stars DonaSpeir ( March ) and Roberta Vasquez ( November ) appeared inside the famous men´s magazine but also Karen Velez who turned 55. With her 37E - 23 - 35 measurements it´s no wonder that she not only became Playmate Of The Month in December 1984 but also the first puerto rican Playmate Of The Year in 1985. As a geek trivia she was married to Six Million Dollar Man /Fall Guy Lee Majors from 1988 to 1994.
Andy Sidaris was probably THE BEST director of action movies for adults and his cast is a WHOS´S WHO ofplaymates : 40DD Playmate Of TheMonthNovember1984RobertaVasquez , hot 34D Page3girlturnedsextherapistAvaCadell , 41DPenthousePetOfTheYear1993JulieStrain , SamanthaPhillips, 34DPlaymateOf The Month May 1994ShaeMarks , 36DPenthousePetOfTheMonth February 1993JulieK. Smith , 34CPlaymateOfTheMonthSeptember 1993 Carrie Westcott or DonaSpeir to name just a few.
And I just wrote a spin - off post with all the usual links to JanetJonesGretzky and real live PowerGirlLeslieEasterbrook who had the most famous scene in Police Academy 4 - Citizens on Patrol in which she emerges from a pool in a wet t - shirt . And while the obligatory AndySidarisactresses / playmates / sexbombs like RobertaVasquez , AvaCadell , brunetteCynthiaBrimhall, DonaSpeir , JulieStrain , ShaeMarks , JulieK. Smith and SamanthaPhillips are mentioned the main part is about blondebrabusterMoniqueSluyterandtheobligatoryplethoraofTuttiFruttigirls .
Now usually I just include a short part with them in the posts but this time I did a somewhat longer version so I could include all the new download links I found while writing this post. I just recently included a whole slew of new ones but those are just for compilation and mixes while these new ones are not only for entireepisodes - which are always ultra rare - but for german episodes whichare even rarer. Some of them even includemyfavoriteTuttiFruttigirl ( whom you can see just below ).
You can find a few more celebrity birthdays from January the 26th, one from January the 27th and one from January the 30th in the intro for my first post on Joe Staton´s Power Girl , just from January the 26th in my THORSDAY WITH SAL BUSCEMA AND X - FACTOR post from 2017 and just from January the 27th in my Frank Miller DAREDEVIL post from 2017 .

sexbomb juliana moreira
juliana moreiras breast moment where she goes to full sabrina salerno mode on her tv audience much like the famous italian cult siren with the inbuilt bouncing action who really puts the pop in popular music in her famous video boys boys boys julianas bikini top surrenders trying to contain her supple boobs and to her male viewers delight show a lot of her nipples I am not sure if this rates as a wardrobe malfunction since juliana moreira must have tried out the bikini beforehand and so must have known what would happen
I always try to bring my readers the best material possible but while I did find a lot of videos with her most of the download links with julianna moreira had already expired thankfully I found a few that still worked faced with the dilemma of either spending a lot of time on making some GIfs that had julianas best moves but were of really poor quality and spending the same amount of time on making some GIFs that were of much better quality but showed only her second best moves I chose the latter
and before you think it´s all about the boobs there is of course another side to juliana moreira
and yup that is only julianas second best boob shaking move
