Golden goodness

Heritage Auctions has a buncha new stuff up for bid, including original artwork for several of those comic art "portfolios" that were common in the early- mid-80s. This gem is from Michael Golden's "Doctor Strange" portfolio. What a great artist. I sure miss seeing his work regularly.

Heritage also is offering up artwork from the "Marvel Team-Up" portfolio (featuring work by Walt Simonson, John Byrne and others) "Black Widow" portfolio (Paul Gulacy), "Cloak and Dagger" portfolio (Rick Leonardi and Terry Austin), two "X-Men" portfolios by Fastner and Larsen, a "Batman" portfolio by Marshall Rodgers, and a couple of portfolios by Michael Kaluta.

The new "Who"

Man, it's turning into Whoville around here today. From Moonie paper The Washington Times (actually it's a wire story), comes news that Scottish actor David Tennant, last seen in a BBC production of "Casonova" will be the 10th Doctor Who, after Christopher Eccleston bailed after only one serial.

The "Casonova" show was written by Russell T. Davies, who's scripting the new "Who" shows.

Tennant also will be seen as Barty Crouch Jr. in the upcoming "Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire."

Stormy weather

Maybe she'll do "X-Men 3," says Halle Berry. But there has to be something for her to do.

"I have not read the script. All I asked is that, if I come back, Storm needs more to do...
"If they have, in fact, written her closer to the comic book, then I'm in. If not, then I'm out. I hope I'm in though. I love Storm and really want to be a part of the last film."


Hell, the script can't be as bad as "Catwoman." But I agree, Berry is a good actress and was underused in the first two flicks.
