Liam Neeson : ZEUS the almighty

One of the greatest actors of our time. I have been a fan of Liam Neeson since Dark Man and on and on.

Liam has really put himself to the test and he's been in several films in two years. TAKEN,THE GREY,UNKNOWN,BATTLESHIP and even more still. His turn in the GODS films as ZEUS he really get's to exude his powerful presence. He really cuts a mean figure and ZEUS father of the Gods suits him well. I enjoyed ROB ROY immensely and always thought to myself he'd make a perfect  SOLOMON KANE but they made that film with James Purefoy instead.  I enjoyed that anyway regardless.  Lets get back to Liam.  I look forward to more films from Liam and I hope he one day earns an Oscar or at least a nomination in the next few years.  He's got the chops and I consider him a Hollywood hero right up there with Wayne and Eastwood.  I believe he's got the star power.  God bless you Liam...may you rule supreme in years to come.

One day...I'll hang this in my living room...If I'm so lucky

Yeah right...like that'll ever happen.  It would look sweet in a studio though...

Geof Isherwood,John Byrne and Bob Layton

It's always fun to browse the web and pick and post cool HERC pics by some of the greatest artists in the field. Usually most of these drawings are of Marvel's fun loving GIFT bestower HERC...but from time to time I see a cool old Steve Reeves pic or even a Big Louie. But today...I share with you...HERCULES the Prince of POWER!!! Cheers!!!

Clash of the Gods - Hercules

Interesting little History channel production....pretty cool.

Tarzan season one starring Ron Ely

Ok so it aint HERCULES...but it's news I wanted to share...this set came out in March 2012. I just found out about it and am gonna hunt it down on ebay and obtain one. Now Tarzan may be a far cry from HERCULES but they happen to have ties....Gordon Scott for one....the sixties for another. HERCULES and TARZAN films were quite popular movie fare back in those days. The Weintraub TARZAN films of the sixties starring Gordon Scott and Jock Mahoney as well as MIke Henry are among my favorites. This series was produced by the same production company. One can hope that soon those films will be released in an official capacity. I have them all on DVDR's but...it aint the same. I always wondered why TARZAN having been a household name in the hero biz for over a century there is such a long wait for these movies. See below the copy from Amazon for the DVD set.
Premiering on NBC in 1966, Edgar Rice Burroughs' immortal creation, Tarzan, took to the nation's TV screens for the first time. Still in the capable hands of producer Sy Weintraub, the TV Tarzan (Ron Ely) continued the more recent (and more authentic) interpretation of Lord Greystoke as a sophisticated, articulate jungle adventurer as seen in the Tarzan films of Gordon Scott, Jock Mahoney and Mike Henry. Also carried over from the big screen was young actor Manuel Padilla (Tarzan and the Valley of Gold, Tarzan and the Great River), now playing the jungle lord's kid sidekick alongside Cheetah, the simian one.The first half of his inaugural season finds Tarzan rescuing seeing-eye lions, endangered leopards, and pampered princes while battling man-eaters, despots and deadly arachnids in this 4-Disc, 15-Episode collection. Guest stars include former Tarzan Jock Mahoney, Star Trek's Nichelle Nichols, Woody Strode, and Russ Tamblyn.Then Ron Ely continues his memorable run as Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan in the second half of his first season. This 16-Episode, 4-Disc collection sees the Lord of the Jungle and his stalwart second bananas, Jai the jungle boy (Manuel Padilla) and Cheetah the chimp, facing off against some of their most formidable challenges alongside a bevy of powerhouse performer guest stars.Stage and screen legend Julie Harris makes her first appearance as the imperiled, imperious missionary Charity Jones and Maurice Evans makes his memorable debut as Sir Basil Bertram. And the action continues to heat up with volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, phantom dinosaurs and more fantastic jungle menaces. Adding their talents to the drama and the dangers are Susan Oliver, Chips Rafferty, Gia Scala, Sally Kellerman and Jack Elam.

Stuff from around....In one MIGHTY post!

Hercules vs Jercules from the Disney version of the mythical strongman. Erik Larsen's Herakles from SAVAGE DRAGON comics....always loved Eriks work. Not really certain who this is by...it could be MItch Breitweiser judging from the broad black dry brush technique but I can't really make out that signiture. John Byrne's HERCULES from MARVEL universe A-Z....with some Kirby clips here and there for good measure.

Wrath of Titans : Motion comic DVD...or two minutes of it anyway.

I was heading home from work one day and decided to make a pit stop at Toys is us.  They have a pretty big DVD section...so I was browsing and came across this WRATH OF THE TITANS special edition motion comic DVD for 5.99....so...being that HERCULES plays a role in the story and being that Perseus is HERKIE'S half brother I snatched that bitch up and runned on home to stick it in my player.
Great story...nice homage to Ray Harryhausen.  NOW...I gots to go out watch me the film....just to tie up loose ends.
