Links About Stuff

• Ken Quattro republished Karl Schadow's article "That's The Spirit" which delves into a great detail about The Spirit radio show from the early 1940s.
• Henry Kujawa has a great four-part series looking at the early days of Marvel's Daredevil comic. I particularly liked his guestimation on how that whole Savage Land story came about. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.
• Kind of not-really-comics-but-sorta-close-by-being-otaku are maid cafes. Evidently, there was one set up in Anime Conji this year and Darlene Horn reviewed it... from the perspective of a food critic. I've never been to a maid cafe myself, but I always got the impression that actually eating the food was one the least significant reasons most people would go to one.
• Jim Shelley has a write up on the history of Rick Jones. While much of it is a fairly straight-forward recap, Shelley also posits a theory that Jones may be a product of Arnim Zola's experiments with Moon Boy's DNA.
