Willaim Gaines Wednesday double feature

Since we had two DC - centric posts I thought about putting the next chapter of Spider - Girl on the blog and have another WEBSLINGING WEDNESDAY but is there a better way to start off the month of March than to honor one of the most important pioneers of comic books ?

I know this sounds a bit like the usual hyperbole but keep in mind that William Gaines took a floundering comic book company and turned it into the most successful comic publisher that was kicking all the others butt.

His comics Tales From The Crypt, The Vault Of Horror and The Haunt Of Fear were without any competitors so that it took the combined forces of Frederic Wertham, the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency and the rest of the comic publishers to bring him down. Of course the loss of one is the gain of another and while William Gaines ceased publishing most of his horror titles for the less successful new trend titles he concentrated on a new magazine that would not be subject to the restrictions put on comic books that became a cult publication for a whole generation : MAD magazine. Anyway, if you haven´t guessed from the title of this blog I am a huge fan of the EC cult horror comics that were among the best comics ever published - back then and even now in the 21st century - so Today I have selected some material from those cult classics from Yesteryear.  

Because it was too difficult to choose a selection of art from all the EC comic stuff I have amassed over the last few months - and because I like to post original art - I have decided to go with complete stories which narrowed it down quite a bit. And since I also like to post the colored pages next to the original black and white pages there were not that many stories left. The first one I have picked for Today´s post is Southern Hospitality from THE VAULT OF HORROR 19 by EC stalwart Johnny Craig.

Our second story is Wined - Up from one of the less known EC series CRIME SUSPENSE STORIES 19, which is the reason I couldn´t find any of the colored pages. Nevertheless I wanted to include it in the post because it was drawn by one of my favorite EC artists, George Evans.

It´s fitting that with my 825th post we return to the roots of the blog which means that post number 900 is only 75 posts away. I don´t think I can meet that goal at this years blog anniversary in April but maybe it´s possible for my birthday. Who knows ? As always there are a few people to thank and the usual links of interest starting with the original art of Wally Wood´s cover for Shock SuspenStories 6 which I found on Dan Nadel´s review of IDW´s Wally Wood´s EC Stories : Artist´s Edition on THE COMICS JOURNAL . Speaking of finding things, while I did not find any color pages from Crime Suspense Stories 19 I found another story by George Evans The Assassin from Shock SuspenStories 17 on CREEPY COMICS and JACK`S ATTIC has a post on The Most Infamous Comic Book Cover of All Time which is Crime SuspenStories 22 with a few homage covers thrown in. 

We start Today´s rather long entertainment block with Sterling Gates, one of the writers on the Supergirl tv show who celebrates his 36th birthday.

The show has really picked up steam since it went over to the CW as they have fixed most of the things that were not so good on the first season.

One of the best changes was that they finally stopped ignoring Superman and brought him into the fold. Not only that, they managed to bring a version of Superman to the screen that is better than anything we will see in Zack Snyder´s upcoming Justice League movies ( we will come to Zack later as he also has an anniversary Today ). I have just watched the latest episode of Supergirl Yesterday - which had Helen Slater and Dean Cain in it - so what I want to know is if they will have Teri Hatcher in an episode. And what´s really on everybody´s mind : will they introduce a new version of Power Girl ? With all the parallel earths they have visited in the Arrow / Flash universe lately it could even be an asian Power Girl .... hint, hint.

Apropos magical cleavage windows, real life Power Girl Anna Semenovich turns 37 who also could easily fill out that role or star in any Russ Meyer movie with her bonerinducing 43E ( !!! ) bust. I don´t know what it is with former female athletes that makes them boob out that much after ending their career ( you may remember hungarian gymnasts Csisztu Zsuzsa and Stefany Hohnjec who turned into mega endowed brabusters ) but I guess that when they stop with the doping it gives the female hormones that have been suppressed so long a chance to come back with a vengeance and turn them into the ultimate Sexbomben. Now in the case of former figure skater Anna Semenovich I don´t want to say she was born for porn ( which totally could be the title of a reality tv casting show for porn stars in spe ) but nomen est omen and she has the word " semen " in her name.

We are staying with hot women as Erika Michelle Barre celebrates her 38th birthday. On her info sheet it says that she was PLAYBOY´s Cyber Girl of the Week in the third week of June 2001, Cyber Girl of the Month for October 2001 and Cyber Girl of the Year for 2002 and I´m not entirely sure what that means. What I do know is that around that time I was reading PLAYBOY magazines on a less regular basis so that I only remember the more exceptional playmates and Erika was in one of the issues I did read.

Speaking of things I used to do, Jensen Ackles is just one year older than Erika with 39 and he´s of course best known as Dean Winchester on Supernatural. I always watched the show with my brother but at some point he lost interest and we still have half a dozen episodes on the recording device in the living room nobody uses anymore. I don´t have the slightest idea at which season we were IF I wanted to continue and since all the episodes are heavily cut in Germany I haven´t bought any of the seasons on DVD even though they are in every amazon DVD sales.

Besides Supernatural Jensen also played Jason Teague on Smallville and was the voice of Jason Todd / Red Hood in the animated adaption of Under The Red Hood. Which for me was not that good of an adaption because it did not really translate Doug Mahnke´s style into animated form. I don´t know but am I the only one who sees these things ? When I hear how well they turned The Dark Knight Returns, Batman : Year One or The Killing Joke into cartoons I can only facepalm. I mean those cartoons look nothing like Frank Miller, David Mazuchelli or Brian Bolland´s artwork.

Or Superman / Batman : Public Enemies for instance did not look like Ed McGuiness art. He turns 43 Today. I´m not sure if the movie incorporated one of the most famous panels of Power Girl´s entire history from issue 4 of Superman / Batman ( it all comes back to Power Girl Today, mates ).
 

Speaking of Ed McGuniess version of Power Girl, there´s a review of the ... can I say toy or is it Power Girl action figure ? ... by Artemis on OAFE . You know, after I did the post for Grant Morrison´s birthday last month I naturally found the first issues of Justice League Classified and said to myself that I will post the first issue on Ed McGuiness´ birthday but now I don´t think I can do two posts on one day so I will have to post pone it.

What I can´t delay is mentioning Javier Bardem´s 48th birthday if I ever want to go back to Spain. I just saw him in the 89th Academy Awards Yesterday where he presented an Oscar together with Meryl Streep.

Which is one of the reasons why there has been no post since Friday ( the other reasons being such mundane things like eating, sleeping, putting the finishing touches on two posts and cleaning up all the material I needed for that ) as it was not easy finding the show. Now personally there is always something that bugs me about Jimmy Kimmel - even after I found out how the whole Matt Damon thing started - but I have to say, apart from the snafu at the end he did a good job. And speaking of the 2017 Oscars, is it just me or did Taraji P Henson have the best dress ?

Now I may be biased here but for me the best moments of the show involved Taraji P Henson - and free food. There have been a few jokes about this but we all know how it is at these shows, you don´t eat before it because you don´t want to have to go to the can so often since you can bet money on it that the moment you go to relieve yourself is the moment they call up your name. And especially women don´t eat before shows to fit into their dresses. So one can get pretty hungry during long shows and when there are snacks dropping from the ceiling you go for it.

So far I have not watched Empire because at the moment the first two season are still expensive but if it´s true that there are some nude scenes with Taraji ( which I doubt since it has a rating of apt for 12 year olds here in Germany ) I may have to look for a way to see it. Man, Taraji really has some lucky lips and it looks like her mouth is just the right size too. She can come over to my crib and play Swallow the Salami all weekend long.

For more Oscar glamour check out GIFs and picture of Taraji P Henson in her Oscar dress at LAINEY GOSSIP and more Oscar 2017 GIFs at COMPLEX .

So far we had the good DC adaption with the CW´s Supergirl, the bad with the animated versions which leaves us with the ugly meaning the works of Zack Snyder who celebrates his 51st birthday. It´s funny but before Batman vs Superman : Dawn of Justice came out people were up in arms because Ben Affleck was going to play Batman and they shoehorned a Wonder Woman cameo into the movie. Now they are upset because Ben will not be in the next DC movies which means total disaster will ensue because only his constant rewrites of the screenplay saved the movie and the best parts were the ones with Wonder Woman played by Gal Gadot. 

I am not sure what to think of this Zack Snyder guy. While I couldn´t care less for Sucker Punch I did like 300 and Watchmen as I seem to be one of the few ones who understands that you can´t cram an entire 12 issue mini series ( I´m not going to call it a graphic novel even if DC´s marketing branch insists on calling it the best sold graphic novel of all times ) into a two hour movie. Or it might have something to do with the fact that I am one of only a handful of comic fans on the planet who does prefer Mark Gruenwald´s Squadron Supreme series over Alan Moore´s Watchmen.

Apropos, I think Zack Snyder is still trying to do Watchmen because he does not know that the DC universe is not the Watchmen universe. I can see that Dawn of Justice is the logical consequence of the way Superman behaved in Man of Steel ( which was totally out of character and shows that Zack does not understand Superman and super heroes at all ) but there is too much happening in the movie. There are so many moving parts that I totally missed the death of Superman - which I think was supposed to be a major plot point. I kid you not, when they mentioned that Superman was dead at the beginning of Suicide Squad I was like " Whoa, WTF, when did that happen ? " Anyway, here is a little video to show Mr. Snyder that you can have super heroes behave in a heroic way. 



Picking Today´s music video was not easy because we have everything from Roger Daltrey to Harry Belafonte and Glenn Miller and you probably expected me to go with Nik Kershaw as an 80s kid. But in the end I choose Sarah Hickman who turns 54. I picked the song Blue Eyes Are Sensitive To The Light written by Martika of the Arachnophobia soundtrack because I think this was the first song I heard of her. Back then teenage Subzero was a frequent movie goer and I was interested in everything about the movies so when I heard this haunting song I had to look her up and the next time I was at the CD shop ( this was before you bought everything from amazon and the internet shops ) I bought her album Shortstop. Which did not have that song on it nor did the other songs sound anything like it. I still liked the music and played the CD nonstop for a few months.



Today we really cover a lot of movies and tv shows like with our next birthday candidate Dirk Benedict who celebrates his 72nd birthday and who always plays the aceman, the spaceman in Battle Star Galactica and the faceman in The A - Team. Where he basically plays himself since you can see Dirk on the set of Battlestar Galactica in the A - Team intro.

We start the Dearly Departed section with Sir David Niven whose movie credit list is much too long to mention so I just want to bring up that he starred in the best adaption of Jules Verne´s classic Around The World In 80 Days alongside mexican superstar Cantinflas as Passepartout. It seems the videos I bookmarked from various adaptions have been deleted but luckily I came across a version by Rankin Bass last week. I still am not sure why the style seems so familiar. Maybe it has something to do with MAD ?




Our last birthday shoutout goes to Roger Delgado born as Roger Ceasar Marius Bernard de Delgado Torres Castillo Roberto ( as someone who has experienced the difficulties german bureaucracy has with a guy that has four names I can understand why he felt the need to shorten his name ) who shaped Doctor Who´s classic best frenemy the Master. Together with Unit he was one of the mainstays of John Pertwee´s tenure of the earth bound timelord and they not only had great on - screen chemistry they also were best friends. When Roger died in an accident in Turkey John was so devastated that he decided it was time to wrap up his time as the Doctor since he could not imagine continuing the series without him.

There are a few videos with Roger Delgado from Doctor Who but I did not want to pick one that just has some music and opted for this trailer with a lot of scenes from the series to show what a charismatic villain Roger was.



Man, I thought I would never get to the end of this post. I would say you are really getting your money´s worth for this 825th post but you don´t have to pay anything and I most definitely don´t get any money out of this. Since this post is in honor of William Gaines I am not closing things out with one of the many documentaries about the Tales From The Crypt movies or tv series. Instead here is a look at the artists of EC Comics. This is part of a documentary I already posted but this clip has a better quality.

My hasian obsession got me in trouble again

Originally this was part of my birthday post on Carlos Pacheco but because I went completely on a tangent here and I didn´t want to make that post not safe for work I ultimately decided to omit this part from that post.

To back up a bit further, as a big fan of Carlos Pacheco I was interested to read his CAPTAIN AMERICA issues but I no longer had the book on my pull list. Then as fate would have it during my rehabilitation after the knee operation I was staying in a small town where I was basically cut off from civilization which included internet access. I tried in vain to get some comic books through amazon but in the end I had to settle for the local newsstand. They had the german Monsterband with the final issues of the Carlos Pacheco run by Rick Remender and while 28 bucks is a lot for some issues which I feared were not good I thought if I ripped off the band aid quickly it would lessen the pain. Boy, was I ever wrong. If I thought his first issues were crap this was the mother of all turds. Like one of my professors used to say : I have read a lot of nonsense in my days but it has been ages since I read such a big pile of garbage. After my rehab was done I thought it was my civic duty to warn people all around the world not to waste their money - and especially their time - on this. Because while money is really precious time is the one thing that can´t be given back.

CAPTAIN AMERICA GOT 99 PROBLEMS - THOSE REPORTERS ARE ONE

So after preparing all the necessary material I never got around to do the post and then I just let it slide because I don´t like to be so negative. I am not going to talk about everything that is wrong with that story ( which is basically everything except Carlos Pacheco´s art ) that was only written to have a story point where Steve Rogers becomes an old decrepit man so Sam Wilson can take over as Captain Falcon but I will mention one of the things that bugged me. It has to do with asian Daily Bugle reporter Samantha Chan ( I had to google her ) who appears in issues 12 to 14. 

As a fine example to women and reporters everywhere she validates old stereotypes by f - word - ing things up from the get go. While hot on the trail of Nuke - who runs amuck in the fictive country of Nrosvekistan - she manages to send him into a killing rage after Captain America had managed to talk him down. Naturally Nuke is not on good terms with the press if you keep in mind how one sided their coverage of the military is in most of the cases and Captain America has to put a heavy beat down on Nuke.

While Captain America is busy with Nuke Sam Wilson puts Samantha out of harms way and when he tries to get her to give over her camera she reads him the riot act and gets all Holier than thou with the freedom of press.

Well, at the end of the issue it turns out that our fearless photo journalist Samantha Chan is more interested in selling her pictures and the freedom the constitution grants her than taking on the responsibilities of a real reporter and making sure the facts are presented accurately. Because - surprise, surprise - her pics are used to slander S.H.I.E.L.D. and Captain America who is the victim of a campaign to ruin his good reputation.

Now as a big fan of the old EC horror comics where actions always had consequences I expected her to get her come - uppance ( especially after Sam Wilson became the new Captain Black America ) but since I never read a CAPTAIN AMERICA comic after this fiasko I don´t know if it ever happened. According to the official Marvel database she only appeared in these three issues of CAPTAIN AMERICA which doesn´t surprise me since I wouldn´t want to continue anything that happened in this volume either.

But it still bugged me that Disney did not have the balls to have her reap what she has sown. I imagine that as a female photo journalist - and a very attractive one -  there are plenty of opportunities to draw unwanted sexual advances and get yourself in trouble. And since she obviously didn´t learn her lesson how you treat people it would not surprise me if she ended up as a prisoner of some third world warlord. Who has a sexual obsession with american women especially if they are of asian descend.

I don´t know what it is but hasians are my kryptonite. Now I don´t want to resort to sexual stereotypes about asian girls being natural prostitutes through decades of being used as sex toys by the male populace of the world but they just have the extra oomph that works better than viagra and makes you hear " Me so horny me love you long time ! " in your head.

And judging from all the attention asian cosplayers like the mega busty Yaya Han with her big 40D´s gets I´m not the only one who feels that way.

Boy, if Yaya Han´s body was not made for porn movies ( and with " made " I mean that Yaya herself got some breast enhancements ) I don´t know. 

Daimn, just check out the size of those opai on Yaya Han. We have to get her to do full frontal nudity in the JLA movie, her body is primed for it.

I know it will probably never happen especially since Yaya would object to such an explicit scene and it is nearly impossible to find a body double for a small hasian with such big hooters. There is banker / model Li Ling Ling from Singapore who also goes by the name of busty Singaporean and about whom I wrote in an earlier post . Supposedly a few pictures of her were " leaked " on the internet by an IT person who was repairing her laptop and landed on various adult websites under the title of " nude pictures of Yaya Han ". As you can see she has an impressive chest but it´s still only 38DD.

Yaya is still two full sizes bigger ! Her outstanding omnipresent openly oversized operated olympic oral orgasm guaranteeing opai are unreal. I bet her boytoy is the luckiest guy on the planet since he is the only one who gets to experience the mega busty living blow up sex doll Yaya going full frontal on his mega rod with her giant 40D double airbags all soaped up.

Ahh, when I just think about all of the things I would love to do to her.

Coming back to journalist Samantha Shan she would try to get out of her predicament by seemingly submitting to the warlord´s perverted wishes and dress up as his sexual wet dream geisha. But she plans on using her supreme sexual skills - especially when it comes to oral sex techniques - to turn the tables on him and dominate him. After all, he´s only a horny man.

But as it is with the best laid plans of mice, man and mouthwatering massive mammaried maneaters ( and in this case quite literal with our oriental oral expert ) unbeknownst to our plucky girl reporter her food - which consists of the most effective aphrodisiacs known to men - has been heavily dosed with the most potent illegal sex drugs you can find on the black market as has her every drink. The same sex drugs have been added to the water supply in her holding cell which explains why she was allowed to take a three hour long steam bath before she was clothed and led to the warlord´s private chambers. Samantha just thought that he wanted her to be clean and was thankful for that comfort not knowing that unwillingly she exposed herself to another big dosage of sex drugs.

Which together with the ones her clothing was laced with finally drove her over the edge. When the warlord finally enters the chamber our hasian love machine is totally doped out and hallucinating wildly so she can offer no resistance as his giant appendage that makes that of a wild stallion seem tiny in comparison furiously slams every orifice of her pornstar body.

At this point Sam Wilson as the new Captain America would probably be sent in to get her and any colleagues that were also captured out. But seeing how she screwed him and S.H.I.E.L.D. over the last time he would tell her that he didn´t want to cause another international incident and had to negotiate with the warlord over the official channels. The good news is that they got all the other reporters out. The bad news is that in exchange for that and to keep America in the good graces of the warlord they have agreed to make Samantha Chan the official ambassador of that country and the newest addition to his harem as his personal sex slave.

He would then tell her that she needn´t worry because the warlord has promised to go easy on her and not wear her out as fast as the rest of the captured female reporters. And who knows ? Maybe he will tire of her very quickly but given his pervy predisposition with american women of asian heritage the opposite will be more likely. Now Sam Wilson could possibly come back and break her out in secret but he doesn´t want to impair her freedom of press and at the least she can write a good article about that.

Now it doesn´t matter if Sam really leaves her to her career as the newest blow up sex doll of a sexual predator or his guilty conscience brings him to change his mind and rescue her ( after a few months of intense taming ).

Or even if he just tells her all this to scare her but never really thought about actually leaving her there - there would be some kind of closure.
 
But Disney is much too busy with making money and the next big thing than to try and put the message that journalists have responsibilities too in their books. And that´s the new Marvel NOW comic universe where the credo is f - word everybody else and don´t own up to your own mistakes.

So what would be the further fate of Samantha Shan ? Once word - and a certain video - gets out how she is tamed by the warlord as the ultimate sex toy her male colleagues start treating her differently since they think all that training shouldn´t go to waste. Because of her exotic asian looks and her centerfold measurements Samantha has had to deal with a lot of unwanted advances but now they begin to turn openly sexist. She quickly learns not to get caught alone with one or more of her male co workers in a room after she is repeatedly sexually assaulted after hours. Of course that is more difficult at office parties which increase in number over the next months as they are only thinly veiled excuses for the male staff to abuse any available female body. Samantha tries her best to avoid these but has to submit a few times to the drunk and horny brutes who take turns impaling her and always get off on sodomizing her frail figure.

At work she also gets treated as a living blow up sex doll who is forced to deepthroat her partners on stakeouts until they are so aroused that they ravage her body on the backseat. On another occasion one of her male co workers observed an underworld figure while the other four took turns trying to wear down her resistance at the no tell motel the paper paid for.

And if the assignments are not going undercover as a contestant at a wet t - shirt contest, a micro bikini contest or a striptease competition it is something likewise degrading like posing as a pornstar in training. For this Samantha is threefold predestined - at least according to her chauvinistic superiors - because of her exotic asian / american heritage, the fact that she can easily multiply the sales figures of any men´s magazine with her own stunning figure and her rigorous training as a sex slave. Of course her colleagues all volunteers as the co stars of her auditions and the originals always end up in her bosses private porn tape collection giving them even more material to blackmail her into letting them use her as stress relief.

Finally Samantha Shan has no other option than quitting her job and going solo, choosing her own assignments. But because the influence of her former disgruntled co workers - and the other reporters who are miffed they didn´t get to bang her brains out - bar her from all the good jobs she has to take those where her only way in is to use her body. One such job has her becoming the preferred outlet of sexual frustration of a russian mobster who has left a path of destruction among the local asian whores ( his favorite victims ) whom he has stretched out with his inhumanly sized schlong. And while she thinks she can become his girlfriend and get some information for a scoop that puts her on the map again her vindictive ex colleagues have passed the information that she is a reporter. Which he confronts her with after using her like a five dollar hooker for months.

And that is all that I can think of now as once again this post has gone completely off the rails which always happens with dem asian girls. But to keep things real I have decided to nevertheless put this part of the post on the blog as I know there are some readers out there who want to read it. As much as some people bemoan my constant tangent into sleazy asian sex phantasies you never know what might bring new readers to the blog.

Now an additional reason for turnig this part of the post into it´s own thing ( apart from having an opportunity to post all those animated GIFs of Miko Lee until I can give her a post of her own next year ) is that I get to post five more videos from my incredibly long list. I´m not kidding.

I can´t post them as quickly as they pile up. And because of the nature of this post I can use some of the more explicit videos that I can not put on my normal comic posts. Now the first video would have gone onto a regular post and if you look at it there seems to be nothing special about it. The reason why I held off posting it for so long is that I had a guilty conscience because Comicbookgirl19´s cleavage totally distracted me.



Speaking about distracting cleavages, I couldn´t do a post with so many stuff about hot asian women and not include Hyuna in the videos. Like I said, the plan was to get rid of a few videos from my huge pile but instead of the ones I had already bookmarked I opted for this one because I rekon my readers preferred some new material. Man, I just can´t keep up with all the new songs she releases and as usual she has a totally new look here.



And since I mention my asian obsession number 1, Yaya Han I also had to include a new video with her. Once again the plan was to use a video from the pile but then I found this one where she is once again in her Scarlet Witch costume. You have to watch this video in high quality and on full screen because the camera man really zooms in on Yaya´s big - talents.



Now I´m not entirely sure from where this video is as I can´t read the title but it´s one of a whole slew of videos I found while looking for car show models. Car shows, tuning and hot asian women seem to go hand in hand and there was a period in my life where I spent a lot of time looking for all the pictures of them. The reason why I picked this particular video is that is was one of the longer ones and from what I could see ( I do not have the time to look through them all as most of the videos are around one hour long ) there are a few really exceptionally sexy dancers in this one.



So this is the second one from the huge video pile ( only one out of two in this post - what is wrong with me ? ) and it´s also a risky one. The sound quality is not good ( which might be a blessing in disguise ) and it could use better lighting but the girl ( a librarian ? ) makes it worthwhile.
