Decent Comics: "Terminal for a Tragedy" by O'Neil, Grell, and Colletta

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! We're back with the conclusion of the two-parter started in Green Lantern #94. "Terminal for a Tragedy," from Green Lantern #95 (March 1977) gives us cosmic action (including an eerie existential battle) for Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart, political intrigue and death traps with (still beardless) Green Arrow and Black Canary, and then has the four of them get it all together for a satisfying conclusion. Let's join Denny O'Neil, Mike Grell, and Vinnie Colletta as they do what they do best...make cool comics!

Happy 101st Anniversary of the Birth of Jack "King" Kirby!

There is a reason so many of us call Jack Kirby "the King of Comics." Here are a dozen covers that make the trumpets blare for Ol' Groove...









Thanks for the glorious memories, Jack!

Marvel-ous Monday: "When a Galaxy Beckons..." by Friedrich, Springer, and Colletta

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! We're back with another "Green Uniform" Captain Marvel tale! The creative team of Gary Friedrich, Frank Springer, and Vinnie Colletta get cosmic...and start working to--believe it or not--reverse the Mar-Vell's previous cosmic upgrade! Not only that, but the ish officially ties into a storyline that crosses in and out of Sub-Mariner #14 and Avengers #64 (see page 3 for details), and features Marv vs. Iron Man (thanks to the evil machinations of The Puppet Master)! From Captain Marvel #14 (March 1969)...what'cha gonna do..."When a Galaxy Beckons..."?
