Pop links: Wally Wood! Hendrix remasters! New Hawaii Five-0 series! TV families reunite!
Catching up on several days' worth of groovy finds:
Wow! Jon's Random Acts of Geekery presents several lovely pages of Wally Wood art from his late-career stint on DC's All-Star Squadron. Loved these issues at the time, specifically for the great art. Dig the cool sci-fi machinery and Superman's retro space helmet.

The New York Times offers a roundup article about a new batch of Jimi Hendrix remasters plus a new posthumous album by the artist. Amazon has 'em all for $9.99 right now. Click on the links to order:

A new version of "Hawaii Five-0" may be worth a look, judging from the cool cast:
Battlestar Galactica's Grace Park is trading in her sci-fi show gear for surf gear as she has been cast to join the upcoming CBS update of Hawaii Five-O.
Park will play Kona Kalakua, niece of squad member Chin Ho Kelly, who will be played by Lost's Daniel Dae Kim, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
-----
I find the popular Geoff Johns' comics strips needlessly grim and bloody and short on fun. But DC's new Flash series with Johns at the helm looks fun artwise anyway. It'd be nice if this great character got the update he deserved.

See Marvel Comics' 1980s adaptation of "Time Bandits."

"The Today Show" is doing family reunions of old TV show casts this week, including the Partridge Family. The Brady Bunch reunion, unfortunately, didn't work out.

Batman TV show pics
These are from the 1966 Batman movie, actually--the only iteration of the 1960s live-action Batman you can get on legal DVD.

I'm not sure if this is about an evil synthesizer or what, but it's drawn by the awesome Russ Heath.

The T.A.M.I. Show coming on DVD from Shout! Factory
The T.A.M.I. Show, a 1964 concert film featuring performances by The Rollings Stones, The Supremes, The Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Marvin Gaye, Chuck Berry and a host of others will be out on DVD from Shout! Factory March 23.
Here's the skinny:
The 1964 feature film The T.A.M.I. Show, filmed a mere seven months after The Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, introduced the Swinging ’60s to America, is the first concert movie of the rock era, capturing such superstars as the Rolling Stones, James Brown, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye, and many other Motown and British Invasion acts in their early prime. This legendary film has never been available on home video and hasn’t been seen in its full-length version since its initial theatrical run. This special set is what music fans have been waiting for: the ultimate collector’s edition of this long-unavailable landmark film.
