A Case Of Don

Don Lomax was the feature of our first Un-Comic way back in our 13th post, but we haven't seen him since. Let's fix that with today's edition of

Case Morgan is something of a free dive into the murky waters of Don's primal urges and desires.
Let's let him explain it...

Y'know, i'd love to take a bunch of Mary's full page cubismo pieces to an adult colouring group and see what came out.

Next time, get a little closer to the woman behind the work.

Blue Mary Finale

Welcome back to our Blue Monday celebration of Mary Fleener's work - step right in!

Before we take a look at some of her covers, let's take a quick peek at a few comics.
This one seems right at home with Fleener's visual style-

How's your Lawrence?

Confused?
The Swiss publication, Das Magazin, has a feature entitled Werke der Weltliteratur (Works Of World Literature) in which they ask artists to translate a classic novel into a single comic page. As might be expected with such an endeavor, it helps tremendously if you're familiar with the original material.

Here's a couple more from Mary:

Yes, she does use words! (In case you were starting to wonder)
Of course, she may incorporate said words into the art...

Mary's works are as uniquely personal expressions as her artwork might suggest. The source material is often her own life and surroundings, and the events shaping her world. So, it might help a bit to know a little about her, eh?
Let's let her tell it:

I can relate. Creating my artwork is my best therapy. (I sure hope we get that system fully functional soon so i can resume therapy)

You were promised Covers with you Comics, so let's view some now.
Here are 10 covers from Mary Fleener -

Mary is the kind of Twisted Sister i quite enjoy. We'll look more at some of her longer comics on another day - we've already got a pretty full post with three cubed pics.
So let's wrap with a just few more bits & pieces of Fleener flair -

I'm so feeling the Coppertone.
I may have to use that last piece as a colouring book page and have fun with it.

While i'm doing that, you can learn more about, and see more from, Mary Fleener at her website. Perhaps more importantly, you buy some of her original paintings, too.

Xmas Damage

Meanwhile, across the Pond...

NOTE: Following the restructuring of this site,

a few strips have been moved to our back room for adult content.

It was pretty minimal stuff, but i'm trying to be fairly thorough with the transition.

A World Less Groovy

You've likely already heard that we lost another comics star - David Cassidy.

Granted, you might not think of him as a comics star. But lest we forget...

...and not just any comic - the GROOVIEST!

Okay. Maybe you don't count The Partridge Family comic books, saying they were merely a tv product tie-in and not true "comics". (I'd disagree with you, but you might say that)
But he also had his own title...

...and not just in the USA...

How's your Dutch? They gave David & the family about 100 pages - lots to read!

But, that is still with The Partridge Family, so maybe doubts linger. Very well, then. Let's skip over to Britain and an old title of which i'm rather fond, we've gone there before and we'll go there again - Look-In. In late 1972, David popped up with his own ongoing strip, and took the cover while doing so:

As mentioned previously, these comics were generally short installments, only two pages per chapter. Here's the first 3 issues worth:

You might be wondering what happens next. As am i. My collection is spotty, at best, and i'm missing the first few issues of 1973. However, we do have a complete short tale here from the Look-In 1973 Holiday Special for you, that you might find a little closure of sorts:

It's also worth noting that when David Cassidy gets together with the boys, he drives-

There you have it - bona fide comic star.
And yet, in the internet age, there are always those doubters in the back of the digital room. So let's drive a stake through the heart of that, shall we?

David Cassidy also played one of the classic Rogue's Gallery villains on The Flash - Sam Scudder, the Mirror Master:

David Cassidy - Comics Star, any way you want to look at him.

Sadly, he did.

He'll be missed by a lot of fans of other media, but comic book fans should remember him, too.
So long, David. I'll always be a fan...
