TARDIS for sale!
The 2005 model TARDIS, used to transport then-Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston through time and space is up for auction.
Built in 2005 for the ninth Time Lord, it's expected to fetch up to £12,000 at Bonhams' Entertainment Memorabilia auction in London on Wednesday.
A Dalek, which first appeared in Dr Who And The Daleks in 1964 and is thought to be the earliest surviving Dalek, is expected to sell for £3,000.
DC Comics cancels plans to reprint Monster Society of Evil storyline
This is terribly disappointing news: A hardcover reprint of the famed "Monster Society of Evil" storyline from the 1940s Captain Marvel series has been promised for months now, but it's been canceled.
Evidently the cancellation is due to DC's worries about how the unpleasant ethnic stereotyping present in these comics might go over with today's audience.
While I wince at the way minorities were too often portrayed in pop culture back then, I also believe historically important comics such as this one should be available in accessible, reprinted form. Readers are intelligent enough to understand that what was accepted then is no longer appropriate today.
Maybe if enough folks write to DC they'll change their minds?
For anyone not familiar with the MSE storyline, read Roy Thomas' great Alter Ego piece about it here.
And, if you have the bucks, you may be able to track down the British reprint of MSE that came out in 1989.

Jonah Hex flick not so hot...
says Entertainment Weekly:
Brolin discharges his comic-book duties manfully...But the star is done in by the deathless mediocrity of the production, an assemblage of random camera shots, messy editing, redundant scenes, and witless dialogue as haphazardly stitched together as the flesh on Jonah Hex’s face.
LA Times remembers Wally Wood
A nice piece about the great comics artist on what would be is 83rd birthday.
Wood's work seemed like snapshots of a lush and vibrant reality where even madmen, monsters and mayhem possessed a stately grace. There might be pandemonium but, oddly, the panic never seemed to reach the eyes of Wood's regal heroes.
