Pop Culture Roundup: Hawkman goes Mego(-style); Monkees on MeTV; Tolkien's artwork; Roy Thomas Day; DC 100-pagers; superhero fashion; Louis Armstrong
ITEM! Hawkman was a full-fledged member of the Justice League but never got a Mego toy back in the 1970s. Figure Toys is rectifying that. Would've loved this as a kid.
ITEM! MeTV, if you don't know, is a groovy over-the-air channel that broadcasts all sorts of classic shows readers of this blog likely love - "Batman," "Lost in Space," "Andy Griffith," etc. - and now they're adding the Monkees to their Sunday night lineup. Is there any reason left not to cut the cable cord?
ITEM! Check out J.R.R. Tolkien's artwork of Middle Earth.
ITEM! Roy Thomas Day - in honor of longtime comics writer and editor - was celebrated in Thomas' home of Jackson, Mo., last Saturday.
ITEM! DC's new lineup of 100-page comics - introduced exclusively to Walmart last July - will be coming to comics shops soon. Good news for those of us who hate Walmart!
ITEM! 13th Dimension checks out he many looks of Batman's sidekick, Robin. You can blame him for wanting to switch out of those shorts!
ITEM! Jazz pianist Ethan Iverson posted a photo-journal of his recent visit to the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens.

Record Store Day 2019 list is out
You can see the whole list of Record Store Day vinyl releases here. RSD is April 13.
This is the day, you may remember, when record shops offer unique, collectable releases as a way to celebrate vinyl and record store culture. Yes, there are still record stores, any you may be able to find one near you here.
Things on this year's list that caught my eye include releases by Bill Evans, Elvis Costello, Herbie Hancock, John Lennon, Otis Redding and the MGs, The Pink Floyd and a couple of Doctor Who releases.
The UK, Brexity as it is these days, insists on doing its own Record Store Day and you can see that list of releases here.
