Book Look: Jesus Needs Help

I received a complimentary copy of David Germain's Jesus Needs Help for review recently. What a great story along with a great message.

David Germain pits Jesus Christ up against his commentary characters The Censor Monkeys who are trying to protect the free thinking public from their own free will.

Unfortunately these pushy characters aren't just localized in this funny book, all forms of expression are effected by people like the Censor Monkeys everyday and hopefully one day free will will be free again. (Not very likely they way the world is going...)

You can get your own copy of this great story filled with great artwork by purchasing the book on Amazon or on CreateSpace by following the following links:

The Duck Knight Returns

Coming from BOOM! Studios this June is a brand new 4-issue miniseries featuring Disney's Darkwing Duck.

According to the series' writer, Ian Brill, the new storyline features the classic show's characters leading new lives where Darkwing's alter-ego, Drake Mallard, has hung up his cape for a desk job while Gosalyn is being suffocated in a new school and Launchpad McQuack is no longer speaking to Drake.
Times have changed for the city of St. Canard including Darkwing's rogues gallery. "There have been big changes and everyone's dealing with them in their own way."

Son of the Return of the Revenge of the 3D Man

Keeping up with the recent 3D fad, I've decided to share a Darkwing Duck story that was originally printed in a special 3D issue of Disney Adventures magazine from 1992.
Darkwing battles 3-D Man, a villain who is out for revenge. (sorry, you gotta find your own red/blue glasses)

Movin' to the Music

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted something. Hopefully this will appeal to your tastes.
Here is a back-up story from Roger Rabbit #11 (1991), written by Jim Bricker and artwork by John Costanza.

The Monkey and the Bear (1972)

The great comic book cartoonist, Howard (Howie) Post, did some great characters for Marvel Comics back in 1972 within the pages of "Li'l Pals: Fun-Filled Animal Antics"!
Howie Post is best known for his work for Harvey Comics, where he had a hand in developing Hot Stuff the Little Devil and Spooky the Tuff Little Ghost. Here are a couple of articles discussing Howie's work.

Seems that Melvin Monkey is a greedy, manipulative little character who is always trying to take advantage of his neighbor Boinard Bear. Check out their first adventure here from the first issue of Li'l Pals.
