The Guns of Forever

When last we left our hero...Jaime's friend Brenda had been transported to another planet via Boomtube, and when Blue Beetle finally located her she wasn't alone! There were weird alien creatures that wanted to eat her, and a barbarian called Lonar with ties to the New Gods. John Rogers and Rafael Albuquerque are here to tell us what happens next, in issue #11..."The Guns of Forever"

What the Kaji Dha? A Charlton Weekly? Almost...

Blue Beetle #54 (Charlton)

This entry is bittersweet. A finale of sorts...the end of an era. We've reached the end of Dan Garrett's run as Blue Beetle in Charlton Comics. At least writer Roy Thomas, and the art team of Bill Fraccio and Tony Tallarico, bring things full circle by tying things back to Dan's first adventure. Luri Hoshid, his first love interest, returns in a familiar setting in the story "The Eye of Horus"!

Fan Casting Friday #4: The Golden Age!

It's been a while since I did one of these...but I've had a few ideas running in my head, so now's as good a time as any to bring Fan Casting Fridays back!

"Smashing down upon the underworld rackets comes the Blue Beetle...made almost invulnerable by special armor, and given super-energy by vitamin 2-X, he crusades with hard-hitting fists for law and justice...in reality he is Dan Garret...rookie police man" So began the golden age adventures of the Blue Beetle on the pages of Fox Features Syndicate's comic. He had a radio show...but what if he appeared on the silver screen in the late 1930's/early 1940's?
