Ghost Who Walks... Man Who Never Dies (Re-Post)

Still busy - more re-post is all I have for you right now.....

Which long underwear character is more popluar and has more fans on a global scale that the geezer from Krypton or Mr kinky playboy? This guy!

I would venture to say he is in fact a different and distinct archetype - different from the immigrant from another planet or the supercapitalist traumatized by the belly of the beast. First of all he is a geneological hero... in that the mantle of The Phantom is passed down from generation to generation, from father to son, and sometimes even daughter - yes kids there has been a female Phantom or two. He is "The Ghost Who Walks".... and when he ventures into the civilized world... well, just call him Mr. Walker (cute huh?). Raised by the African Bandar pygmies, he is both non-racist and non-sexist, his faithful companion is a wolf named Devil, he marks his friends and enemies with his good or bad marks.... impressions made by rings he wears on each hand. He lives in THE SKULL CAVE for goodness sakes! This is just the tip of the iceberg....believe me there's more!


And his mission.... TO FIGHT PIRATES! What's not to like! Popular in the far flung corners of the world, he is for example THE most popular comic hero in such diverse places as Australia, Sweden and many more countries that don't care too much for the big red "S" or Spidey!

Created by Lee Falk, who also created Mandrake the Magician, he is one of the few heroes who exists with equal comfort in the newspaper strips (since the 30's) and the 4 color pages. Just look at these international editions below.... this guy may just be the world's most popular hero, he surely has the best mythos of any guy in a union suit.... and he has a wife and kids! He is TRULY "The Man Who Never Dies"!






I love this guy! No powers... no bankroll.... just pure MOXIE (and a blazing .45 in each mitt)!

Share and enjoy!

Where's the professor? We Need Him NOW!

The Saints - Know Your Product

Yeah!
All right!
Sing it up, West Coast!
Too much!

I'm just sitting in my chair when a voice comes on the air
Says "Why don't you try it? You'll feel allright!"
"Got some great new brand of smokes"
"Cool your head and clear your throat"
"Keeps you young and so in touch."

Cheap advertising, you're lying,
Never gonna get me what I want.
I said, smooth talking, brain washing,
Ain't never gonna get me what I need.

"Our new soap that's peachy keen saves your soul and keeps you clean"
"It's recommended, used by the Queen"
"Gonna improve your IQ, help in everything you do"
"It's economic, don't cost too much."

Said advertising, you're lying,
Never gonna give me what I want.
I said, smooth talking, brain washing,
Ain't never gonna get me what I need.

I said take it,
Come on,
Soul man!
Let's shoot the professor!
Alright!

Elvis Costello - Pump It Up


I've been on tenterhooks
ending in dirty looks,
list'ning to the Muzak,
thinking 'bout this 'n' that.
She said "That's that".
I don't wanna chitter-chat.
Turn it down a little bit
or turn it down flat.

Pump it up when you don't really need it.
Pump it up until you can feel it.

Down in the pleasure centre,
hell bent or heaven sent,
listen to the propaganda,
listen to the latest slander.
There's nothing underhand
that she wouldn't understand.

Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.

She's been a bad girl.
She's like a chemical.
Though you try to stop it,
she's like a narcotic.
You wanna torture her.
You wanna talk to her.
All the things you bought for her,
putting up your temp'rature.

Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.

Out in the fashion show,
down in the bargain bin,
you put your passion out
under the pressure pin.
Fall into submission,
hit-and-run transmission.
No use wishing now for any other sin.

Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.






Cabaret Voltaire - Crackdown


Scatter you, sweep your feet.
Pick you up, and drag you in.
Stubbing things to schemes and places.
And someone, cracks down.
Watching you watch others move.
And sometimes, someone....
Flatter you, sweep your feet.
Pick you up, and drag you in.
Stick to you playing with fire.
And it's so good that you scream.
And someone, sometimes, cracks down.
Someone, sometimes, cracks down.
A bell rings, you jump a place,
Making moves to the right spot.
And someone, somewhere, cracks down.
Flatter you, sweep your feet.
Pick you up, and drag you in.
Stubbing things to schemes and places.
Pick a place.
Watching you watch others move.
Then sometimes, someone, cracks down.
Cracks down.
Flatter you, sweep your feet.
Pick you up, and drag you in.
Take to you playing with fire.
And it's so good that you scream.
A bell rings, you jump a place,
Making right moves to the right spots.
And someone, cracks down.
Someone, sometimes, cracks down.
Someone, sometimes, cracks down.
Watching you watch others move.
Cracks down.
Someone, cracks down.
Cracks down.
Someone, cracks down.
Someone, sometime, cracks down.
Somewhere, someone, somewhere, cracks down.
Watching you watch others move.
Someone, sometimes, crack down.
The crackdown. Crack down.
Someone, somewhere, cracks down.
Cracks down, cracks down, crackdown, someone, crackdown.
You're seeing things, you're stopping things,
Dreams and chasers, picking places.
Watching you watch others move.
Right places. And someone cracks down.
Cracks down.
Crackdown, crackdown, crackdown, crackdown, someone cracks down.
Crackdown, crackdown, cracks down, cracks down.

Skywald Reposts?

I've been getting the odd request to repost alla dose nasty Skywald horror mags... Should I? Lemme know....
Now... HELLRIDER!
One of Skywalds first B & W magazines, long before they starting doing the extremely nasty horror comics SCREAM, PSYCHO, NIGHTMARE etc. under the editorial direction of "Archaic" Al Hewetson.... Skywald was Sol Brodsky (ex Marvel comics) + Isreal Waldman (magazine industry veteran) .... so they knew the biz and they hired - Andru & Esposito to do the book....they'd been doing Wonder Woman & Metal Men over at DC, and this non-Comics' Code book allows them to do more adult material. Heh heh. Dick Ayers also does some nice art in here.... lesse.... what else... OH YEAH! It's got LOTS of bikes! So let's go on a run with Hellrider and The Wild Bunch!
