"Revolution" Ends, "TMNT/Batman:TAS" Begins in IDW's November 2016 Solicitations
Comic Books
Well, it's been a week. Let's see whose bronze-fu was the strongest, shall we?
We had about the same number of entrants as last time, six in all. Some you will recognize as fairly frequent commenters here on the blog, and others seemingly swooped out of nowhere. A hearty well-done to K.W., Abel Yu, Edo Bosnar, Richard Bensam, Shane Robertson, and Eileen Akers.
So a gold star to each of them. No one really scored big, but that's because everyone was so scrupulous about abiding by the rules — I think most of our entrants went from memory, with a couple of folks looking stuff up in their comics. Once again, I was heartened and delighted by the utter lack of cheating. Seriously, that is just awesome. I love that everyone was so honest — one entrant, Abel, even owned up to asking his uncle for help on some of them. (Which delighted my wife. "You brought a family together for an activity!" she said, beaming. Julie loves stuff like that.)
Anyway, as far as I could tell there was no Googling or Wikipedia'ing. That was really cool. Especially since there's always a fair amount of moaning and groaning about how hard these are, and I suppose it's true — but that's partly because, after almost a decade of administering the "guess the quote" contest on CBR's TV and Movie Forum, I grew to hate smug Google cheaters with a passion far outweighing the seriousness of the actual offense (I know. It's silly. But they're such blatant LIARS, it always made me see red) so I try to make it so that if someone does use the Google, they still have to dig.
And also, these are designed to be hard because the chief amusement for me in doing a quiz like this (and I gather, for you all as well) is the answer column that follows a week later. That column is more entertaining if the facts presented are at least partly new to you readers out there.
So with all that out of the way, let's get to it! First the answers, and then we will announce our winner!
PART ONE: "Who WAS that?"
1. Who cursed Simon Garth to walk the earth as a zombie?
For this you have to go back to the original story by Stan Lee and Bill Everett, but if you did so, you'd see that it was one of his disgruntled former employees.
Truthfully, Simon was kind of a jerk and probably had it coming, as explicated by Steve Gerber in Tales of the Zombie #1. Garth's gardener, Gyps, vowed to get revenge upon his employer for his years of mistreatment and recent firing. Kidnapping Garth, Gyps stabbed him to death with a pair of garden shears in the Bayous near New Orleans. Gyps was not satisfied by Garth's relatively quick death, however, and so he turned the corpse over to a nearby voodoo cult and forced voodoo queen Layla (also Garth's former secretary– small world) to turn Garth into a zombie. Layla, with the aid of matching amulets, resurrected the corpse of her former employer as a mindless zombie. One of the two amulets was placed around Garth's neck; the other was given to Gyps. Using his amulet, Gyps could control the Zombie. However, as you may imagine, this didn't work out well in the end.
This saga is reprinted in Essential Tales of the Zombie.
2. Who secretly was financing Defenders foes The Sons of the Serpent?
The Sons of the Serpent were a KKK-style hate group that fought the Defenders in a four-part saga that ran from Defenders #22 to #25, early in Steve Gerber's tenure on the book. The Serpents were all about achieving racial purity through violence.
Which made it really ironic when it was revealed that the mastermind behind them was Nighthawk's own business manager, a man named Pennysworth…
…a black man. Pennysworth had funded the Serpents basically as an investment to gain property advantages, buying up burned-out slum properties after the Serpent Sons had attacked them.
Steve Gerber laid out Pennysworth's motives in such a chillingly plausible way that even thirteen-year-old me was thoroughly creeped out.
Pennysworth goes on to explain, quite reasonably, that Nighthawk never gave a damn where his money came from as long as it kept coming, and asked why was it suddenly bad that he had crossed the line into out-and-out villainy as opposed to his previous legal-but-merely-ruthless business practices, which had never bothered Kyle in the slightest. It was an extremely nasty scene, the more so for Pennysworth's bitter calm playing against Kyle Richmond's horror. It was the first time I'd experienced Steve Gerber subverting a superhero cliché to make a real-world point, and it is one of my most vivid memories of the Bronze Age. (Much more so than Don McGregor's take on the real Klan over in Jungle Action, a story from around the same time that hasn't aged nearly as well.)
This Defenders story can be found in Essential Defenders volume two.
3. Who did Dr. Zamm help to reach a heightened understanding?
This question tickled me because it sounds like it should be some sort of Jim Starlin cosmic thing, but that's not it at all. In putting this quiz together, I tried to include as many different 70s comics trends as I could think of. Which meant that I had to have something from DC's 'relevant' era, and also some Bob Haney craziness.
World's Finest #224 covers both.
The Super-Sons are just not getting along with their establishment Dads, and the friction has reached the point where it is interfering with their actual superhero responsibilities. So all four go off to an encounter-group camp weekend retreat. "Camp Enoyreve" is administrated by the kindly Dr. Zamm, who, believe it or not, is NOT a villain. He's got a Ph.D. in LOVE, baby, and just wants everyone to get along.
Starting with dance therapy…
…and then suggesting that the two boys switch dads for the weekend. Incredibly, this helps the four heroes solve the case of the moment AND leads to deeper appreciation for what the other side's going through. And that's been one to grow on, hepcats.
…sigh. Damn, I miss Bob Haney. This story is reprinted in DC's collection Superman/Batman: Saga of the Super-Sons.
4. Who was Sonnabend the prophet, and whose coming did he predict?
"The scribe recorded the words of Sonnabend the prophet. Words that would be preserved for eternity by the immortal Guardians, a collection of verses to guide the righteous across the eons.
"Not for billions of years, by earth measure, would the words of the particular verses he now recorded apply. But when the time came, they would certainly prove true:
"Star Child will leave a deathworld
For the System of the Rings,
Where the child will grow to legend
As his life the singer sings.
"When the conqueror wants his secret
With the Star Child he'll contend;
And when the day of battle's over
Then the legend's life will end."
Got it yet? No? Well… it helps to know that "Star Child" translates to "Kal-El" in Kryptonian.
The prophecy of Sonnabend refers to Superman, and it's the engine that drives the plot of Elliott Maggin's wonderful novel Last Son of Krypton. Several folks were perplexed at not being able to determine Sonnabend's species or homeworld, but really, "the guy in Maggin's Superman novel" was plenty. Anyone who got that much got full credit.
You can find out more about this delightful book here.
5. Most of the Marvel Novel series of the 1970s were written by comics guys like Len Wein, David Michelinie, and Marv Wolfman. But a couple of them were done by other writers using pen names. What were the true identities of "Joe Silva" and "Kyle Christopher"?
We'll take the easy one first.
"Joe Silva" was one of the many pen names of the incredibly prolific Ron Goulart.
In addition to "Joseph Silva," Goulart also did a number of licensed-paperback series novels under the names Con Steffanson, Frank Shawn, and even a stint as Kenneth Robeson for the series of new Avenger novels from Warner Books, after they ran out of old pulps to reprint.
He also did several under his own name, and a number of original SF stories and novels to boot. The guy was a factory.
Somewhat surprisingly for someone so prolific, these are all pretty good books, too. Smart, fun, quick reads. His entries in the Marvel series are no exception. I like his Captain America book a little better than his Hulk novel but they're both good.
The second one is a little more obscure.
The ninth entry in the Marvel Novel series was actually a collection of four novelettes. You had the Avengers by Jim Shooter, the Hulk by Len Wein, the X-Men by Mary Jo Duffy — and far and away the best of the four was a Daredevil story by "Kyle Christopher."
Kyle was actually Martin Pasko.
Stan Lee felt that Pasko was too closely associated with DC at the time and asked for the change. The full story is here, in CSBG's own Urban Legends Revealed #47. Which is why I'm a little surprised that no one got the Kyle part of the question, though Abel got Joseph Silva. Brian will be hurt.
TV Bonus Question! There was another actor to portray Superman in live action in the 1970s besides Christopher Reeve. That time was on television. Who was the actor and what was the show?
This, it turns out, happened two different times. I feel really stupid for forgetting the one that is far and away the more famous instance.
When Margot Kidder hosted Saturday Night Live in 1979, they did a hilarious superhero skit featuring Bill Murray as Superman.
John Belushi brought the house down as the Hulk, too. The whole thing was hysterical and clearly showed that someone on the writing staff was a comics geek.
However, the one I was thinking of was a little more obscure.
In the late sixties, given the television success of the Adam West Batman, it's not surprising that someone thought it might be possible to succeed with that same campy superhero take on Superman. It's a little more surprising that they thought it should be done as a Broadway musical.
Especially given the technological hurdles they'd have to overcome in trying to make Superman look, well, super. It didn't work out and the play closed after four months.
But what's really inexplicable was the decision, almost a decade after this flop folded, to mount a production for television in 1975.
It featured David Wayne as the villain, and Lesley Ann Warren as Lois.
Ms. Warren's take on Lois was a lot like her lounge singer in Victor/Victoria a few years later.
Superman himself was played by one David Wilson.
Who didn't really do much else before or after. You can see a mercifully brief clip here.
Most of our entrants got one or the other, but not both. I gave full credit for either one.
PART TWO: "Where was that again?"
6. Where was the structure drafted by the JSA, the JLA, and the heroes of Earth-S as a temporary HQ in the battle against the evil King Kull? (And who were the former owners?)
For that, we actually have to go back to the first two-part JLA/JSA crossover, "Crisis on Earth-One!" and "Crisis on Earth-Two!"
Several villains of the two Earths decided to band together, with the idea that if they each switched to a new Earth they'd have a fresh start.
During the course of their partnership, they created a headquarters that existed in — I guess you'd call it the interstitial dimensional space between Earths. At one point they trapped both groups of heroes there.
Of course, the good guys eventually won, but the place apparently just sat vacant after the big showdown. And so a few summer crossovers later, that interdimensional hideout became the staging area for the two teams (together with the gang from Earth-S) to take on Kull. Most everyone who got this one right even remembered the nom du guerre of the original villain team, the "Crime Champions," though I would have accepted any reasonable variation of "the bad guys' interdimensional HQ in the first JLA-JSA crossover."
This story is reprinted in Crisis on Multiple Earths Volume Four.
7. Luke Cage's original office in Times Square was over a theater. What was its name?
That was the Gem theater, owned by the uncle of Cage's young pal D.W. Griffith.
I confess that even though Cage's current incarnation as an Avenger with a wife and a child is an interesting take on the guy, I really miss the old Hero for Hire with the low-rent office. You can see that era for yourself in Essential Power Man volumes one and two.
8. According to Bob Haney and Neal Adams, where WAS "Another Time, Another Place"?
Everyone thought this was a Brave and the Bold reference. Not so!
Haney and Adams collaborated other places, too. Like this little 8-pager from Our Army At War #240, where you could see that "Another Time, Another Place," was "a planet known only as Easy Fox on military space maps!"
In fairness, that's one where you simply had to have the book to know it, it's never been reprinted anywhere.
9. Conan the barbarian hails from Cimmeria. King Kull is from Atlantis. Travis Morgan, the Warlord, lives in Skartaris. But where, pray tell, would one find…Wulf the Barbarian??
This is another one where you really have to have the book in your hands to get it. Wulf was one of the (very) short-lived Atlas line of books.
Technically, Wulf wasn't a barbarian, but rather more like Talon in The Sword and the Sorcerer — a prince who'd lived most of his life on the run after his parents were killed.
As such, that meant that technically there were a couple of possible correct answers to the question. You could say that originally young Prince Wulf was from the fair land of Baerholm…
Or you could just as easily say that he hailed from the city of Azerebajia, which is where he ended up. I'd have taken either one.
A lot of that old Atlas stuff was very cool, at least for the first couple of issues. Pity the company crashed and burned so quickly. If someone ever scooped up the rights to that stuff for a trade collection of "The Best of Atlas Comics" or something like that, I'd be all over that like white on rice.
10. Exactly where DID Superman fight Muhammad Ali?
I couldn't leave out one of the most legendary books to come out of the 70s, even if it is a little nutty. Most of you out there probably have heard of the book, but you may not know the story.
The short version — Rat'Lar, leader of the alien Scrubb, demands that Earth's greatest champion fight the greatest fighter of their world. If Earth refuses, the Scrubb and their huge armada of spaceships will destroy it. Superman and Muhammad Ali each volunteer. Then they argue over who would be the better one for the job.
Since neither will admit the other might be a better choice, the Scrubb decide Superman and Ali will just have to fight it out, and then that winner takes on the Scrubb champion.
Rat'Lar generously allows Ali to coach Superman in the art of boxing, as well. Superman sets up a little space-time fold in the Fortress of Solitude where he puts his training gym.
A couple of people mentioned this little bit of tesseract sparring, and it caused some folks to misremember this scene as being the site of the match, but that is not so. In the actual bout, Ali hands Superman's spandex-clad ass to him…
..because it takes place on Bodace, a planet orbiting a red sun, which put Superman and Ali on more-or-less equal terms. If you call that beat-down anything like an equal match.
It all worked out, Earth ended up not getting destroyed, and the Scrubb were sent packing. It's a legendary book, but honestly that's mostly because licensing issues have kept it from being reprinted. So it's scarce and something of a holy grail for Bronze Age collectors. As far as the story itself is concerned, though, it's about on the level of the time bionic superagent Steve Austin teamed up with Larry Csonka to whip Dick Butkus.
Which is to say, fun in a sort of goofball novelty way, but not anything I'd call actually good.
And hey, speaking of cheesy 70s television superpeople…
Bonus TV question! The Lynda Carter Wonder Woman met a man named Andros twice, once in the 1940s and again in the 70s. Where was Andros from… and who were the TWO actors that played him?
Most folks familiar with the old Lynda Carter Wonder Woman TV show know that it had two incarnations. The first somewhat erratically-scheduled season was on ABC, and had Wonder Woman fighting Nazis in the 1940s. That was where Diana first met Andros, in the two-parter titled "Judgement From Outer Space!"
Andros' actual homeworld is never specified. I accepted "Intergalactic Council" or even just "outer space" as sufficient for the answer to where he came from. And in the two-parter set in the 1940s, he was played by Tim O'Connor.
Then ABC dumped the show. CBS scooped it up, retooled it so that it took place in the present-day — which is to say 1978 — and it ran two more seasons. Whereupon Andros dropped by again for another two-parter, "Mind-Stealers from Outer Space!"
This time he was played by Dack Rambo. I haven't got the episode handy so I can't confirm it (we only really liked the 1940s incarnation of the show, so that's all we have here) but I'm pretty sure he was supposed to be the same Andros; apparently he'd just had a little work done.
We weren't the only ones who snooted the later seasons of WW — everyone who got this got Tim O'Connor right off the bat, but almost nobody remembered Dack Rambo. "Some younger guy" was the answer I kept seeing, which made me laugh far more than it should have. Poor Dack. I'll have you all know that his Sword of Justice was really a pretty good show, for the month or so it was on…
PART THREE: "What the hell's THAT thing?"
11. How many other groovy costumes did Supergirl try out before settling on this one for most of the Bronze Age?
(I mean actually wore for an adventure, not just show off on a "reader's suggestions" pin-up page.)
For this we have to thank the same man that made Diana Prince so swingin' for that brief wonderful period in the 70s, Mike Sekowsky. He worked that same magic on Supergirl, too.
This time, it was more participatory — one of the gimmicks DC used to play with in the Bronze Age was teasing readers with the idea that they'd actually get to design a new costume for someone. (This happened a lot with Robin, after he went off to school.) But Sekowsky actually carried it through.
It began in Adventure #397, when big Mike decided to shake it up.
Supergirl did actually pick one of those… the one with the thigh-high boots, believe it or not. Because on Krypton, high-heeled hip waders are HAWT.
Supergirl stuck with that outfit for a little over a year. But readers kept sending in ideas.
So Supergirl would wear one for a little while as a try-out of sorts, with the idea being that eventually she would settle on THE costume. This went on for a few more months. We got this one that lasted for two issues…
This naughty number, that probably would have made even Power Girl blush, only lasted one issue…
And then we finally got the blouse-and-hot-pants outfit that most of us remember.
So, let's recap. For actual costumes worn in a story before Kara settled on the blouse outfit, it's–
1. The original one.
2. Hip waders. (Sometimes with red gloves, but I think it still counts as the same one.)
3. Bodysuit with racing stripes.
4. Naughty side vents.
And then the blouse with hot pants.
By my count, that's four. I would allow three as an answer since the question is unclear as to whether the original one should be counted or not… but it's a moot point because the only one who answered this was Abel (and his uncle) and their answer was "four." Good job!
There are a couple of Showcase Presents Supergirl reprint volumes out, but they haven't gotten up to the groovy era yet. Assuming the books keep coming, though, I think you'd probably start seeing this stuff… hmmm…. volume three or four, I guess? I dunno.
12. What was the Dream Dome? And which Marvel hero was used as the template for its audio-visual psychic projection?
It wouldn't be the Bronze Age without some trippy psychedelic Marvel comics, and also a completely out-of-nowhere Marvel fill-in story from Bill Mantlo, something hurriedly scheduled to give a book's regular creative psychedelic geniuses a chance to possibly make their next deadline.
Again we can fill that slot in our quiz with a two-fer, this odd little Killraven entry from Amazing Adventures #38.
Filling in for Don McGregor and Craig Russell, Bill Mantlo and Keith Giffen gave us "The Dream Dome!" A story of Killraven stumbling across this stadium-sized dream machine that is actually a crashed experimental spacecraft, where a comatose astronaut mutated by cosmic rays projects twisted caricatures of "the heroes of my youth" as he lies in suspended animation, "dreaming but aware." Mostly it's a way for Killraven to fight his way through a bunch of Marvel characters — and even Gerald Ford — but the hallucinatory figure who serves as Killraven's self-proclaimed psychic-projection tour guide is a distorted version of Iron Man. So Iron Man is who I was looking for, but I would have given credit for mentioning any of the Marvel characters who had a cameo.
Two seconds after I posted the quiz it suddenly dawned on me that the DC Sandman by Jack Kirby was headquartered in "the Dream Dome," so I hurriedly edited in the bit about the psychic projection so everyone would be aware the answer would be found in a Marvel book. Nevertheless, Richard mentioned the Sandman's Dream Dome anyway, and theorized that Brute or Glob must have been inspired by the Thing. I felt so guilty about forgetting this other Dream Dome that I gave it to him. Honestly, who'd have thought there were TWO Dream Domes in 1970s comics?
Nobody got the answer I intended, though I gave Edo partial credit for at least remembering it was from a Killraven story. It's reprinted in Essential Killraven.
13. What vile vehicle appeared in Worlds Unknown, courtesy of Gerry Conway and Dick Ayers?
That would be Theodore Sturgeon's Killdozer. Interestingly, through the vagaries of scheduling, this actually preceded the TV-movie it was supposed to be tying in to.
14. Red Kryptonite turned up in a lot of odd places, but probably none odder than the box where Jimmy Olsen found the sample that caused THIS.
What else was in that box?
Cracker Jacks.
No, seriously.
It's been suggested that the "end of the Silver Age" happened with the death of Gwen Stacy over in Spider-Man, but my personal marker has always been when Julius Schwartz and Denny O'Neil decided to get rid of Kryptonite in Superman. And given stories like this, can you blame them?
This has not been reprinted anywhere to my knowledge, and I can't really blame DC for that either. But I included it because, as one entrant put it, "It's one of those things that, if you saw it, you'd never forget it."
15. Who built the Madbomb?
This is another one of those where there were several possible answers and I gave credit for all of them, since the question was somewhat ambiguous. Some folks responded with the scientist who invented the Madbomb, others answered with the villain who funded the Madbomb, and one answered with both the villain's name and the organization he founded. (I'll tell you, I think I've written these things so they're really clear, and then the answers start coming in and there's that facepalm moment of how did I not see that? But everyone is very good-natured about it, thankfully.)
We'll start with the villain and his organization. It was Sir William Taurey and his New Royalist Forces.
However, the device itself was invented by a man named Mason Harding.
I gave credit to people who named either Taurey or Harding, since either answer seemed reasonable. This story was reprinted in, naturally, Captain America by Jack Kirby Volume One: Madbomb.
Bonus TV question! The alter ego of The Mighty Isis, Andrea Thomas, was a teacher. What subject did she teach?
I'm surprised more of the people that remembered the show didn't get this. It was right there in the opening credits every week.
"Oh my Queen", said the Royal Sorcerer to Hatshepsut. "With this amulet, you and your descendants are endowed by the Goddess Isis with powers of the animals and the elements. You will soar as the falcon soars, run with the speed of gazelles, and command the elements of sky and earth." Three thousand years later, a young science teacher dug up this lost treasure and found she was heir to The Secrets of Isis.
So "science" or "high school science" or any reasonable variation thereof would have done it. (One of the most hilarious things about the show would be when Andrea or one of her students would find a clue and race over to the school to look at it through one of those crappy classroom microscopes. Clearly no one involved with writing the show had ever tried to actually USE one of those clunky things in high school.)
Truthfully, I was not a big fan of Isis or its companion show Shazam! I watched them, mostly out of some misguided sense of fan loyalty, but they really weren't very good. No one is more surprised than me that so many of those old 70s Filmation live-action kid's shows have found a second life on video.
I always did like Joanna Cameron, though. By all reports, she is a very nice person in real life, and apparently still answers her fan mail.
So how did our intrepid crew actually do?
There were eighteen total questions. Some of the questions were in multiple parts, though, so I awarded a point for each correct component — for example, if someone remembered a show but not an actor, they got one of two possible points there. There were twenty-four possible points, total. Considering the no-internet provision, we had some pretty impressive scores.
Edo Bosnar came in third, with eleven out of twenty-four.
Abel Yu (and his uncle) came in second, with twelve out of twenty-four.
And our winner, with an impressive sixteen out of twenty-four, was Richard Bensam. His loot should be winging its way to him within the next day or so.
Congratulations to all our players for taking part, and I hope they — and you — had as much fun with this as I did. I imagine we'll be doing this two or three times a year, so suggestions for the next quiz theme are more than welcome. Be aware, though, that whatever I end up choosing for a theme, the quiz itself will not be for sissies!
See you next week.
That Super-Sons page is the best page of anything *ever.* "Ha ha! Har! Ha! Ho!" "Men dancing… together?" The Funky Robot? A beast with the strength of 10 men? Awesome.
There was a Challengers of the Unknown novel? Gotta have it.
Shoulda remembered that Superman musical (and the SNL skit, as well).
That's Larry Hama art? I thought it was Gil Kane!
I should've got the Killdozer one, at least. Dag.
I honestly never thought I'd get the top score. Props to both Edo and Abel!
The SNL skit with Margot Kidder never even occurred to me as a possible answer to that question. For that matter, there was also a sketch with Dan Ackroyd as Superman around the same time (this one from an episode hosted by Michael Palin) that's considerably smarter and funnier. Here's a complete transcript:
A followup on the Wonder Woman question: I was a faithful viewer of Sword of Justice, but I had totally forgotten it for all these years. As soon as I saw the show mentioned online — after I'd already submitted my answers — it all came back to me. Happily, bits of it can be found on YouTube.
Another thing I'd completely blocked out of my memory was that Killraven story! Yeesh!
Anyway, many thanks for running this contest, but even more heartfelt thanks for all the memories these questions evoked.
I had no idea Larry Hama was ever an artist.
I've read Last Son Of Krypton. (I still have it, in fact, but I haven't read it in a very long time.) I always remembered the prophetic poem about 'Star Child', but couldn't remember the alien's name. So when I read the question in the quiz, it never occured to me that it was the one. The 'Star Child' prophecy was one of the things I really hated about the book.
Weren't there 2 live action Justice League specials in the 70's? Majorly campy and horribly bad, but there none the less. Well, I KNOW there were, but I can't remember is Superman was part of those.
That was a fun quiz, even if I didn't know a single one of them!
I too was surprised to see that Larry Hama was an artist, and not a bad one at that.
Looking forward to the next quiz.
BTW: I think Supergirl's boots are sexy – does that mean I'm a Kryptonian, or just a little pervy?
Weren't there 2 live action Justice League specials in the 70's? Majorly campy and horribly bad, but there none the less. Well, I KNOW there were, but I can't remember is Superman was part of those
He was not.
dantecat: You are thinking of the "Legends of the Superheroes" that aired in January of 1979. However, Superman and Wonder Woman were not used, due to their involvement in other media (movie, tv).
Interestingly, the spelling of the city Wulf ends up in changes from issue 1 to 2.
Wow, third place. And I seriously thought my results were sucky. By the way, Greg, I didn't save the e-mail I sent with my answers, so I can't do a count, but I kind of hope the fact that I included Dack Rambo's name among several other possibilities for young Andros wasn't credited as a correct answer – I was really shooting in the dark. After I sent the e-mail, I seriously even considered the possibility that it was a young Corbin Bernsen (I only saw that episode once, when originally aired, and I was only about 10 or 11 at the time, so my recollection of Andros' appearance is really fuzzy).
I only vaguely remember that Killraven comic – I had it, and remember being kind of freaked out by the hallucinatory portrayals of the super-heroes. But what really kills me is that I later bought all six issues of Kirby's Sandman really cheap from a used comics dealer, and actually rather enjoyed it, but for some reason I didn't remember that there was a "Dream Dome" there as well – I should probably lose points for that…
Anyway, big-time congrats to Richard Bensam! Very impressive. And I definitely agree with him, the memories evoked by this quiz were probably the best part of it.
p.s. dantecat: Superman didn't appear in either of those live-action "Super Friends" shows. They featured Captain Marvel instead.
I got 2nd place! Congrats to the winner! i wish there was a runner up prize.
I have one issue of that Defenders story, but I never knew how it ended until now. I'm reminded, though, of the first story I read with the Sons Of The Serpent, an Avengers reprint originally from 1970 or thereabouts. In that story the Sons turned out to be led by two talk show pundits, a white conservative and a black leftist, who were trying to stir up racial hatred in order to increase their ratings. I kind of feel sorry now for these poor bigots constantly being used and manipulated by others. No wonder they're so full of rage.
Our Army At War #240 is reprinted in DCU illustrated by Neal Adams vol. 1. And I should be pretty ashamed for not getting that one since I just read that story within the past month.
You just needed to be younger to appreciate some of the 70's live-action super hero shows. All those DVDs are being bought by people who were under 10 when the things were aired. I'd love to see Wonder Woman again just to see if its any good to my adult sensibilities. I've re-watched Super Friends cartoons and they were mostly fun just because of the nostalgia of seeing something 20 years later that I watched over and over again as a kid. I don't think I could watch a whole DVD of them in one sitting.
I didn't try to answer the questions because I knew I'd never get them all right. They were just TOO obscure (Easy Fox? Seriously??) Reading the answers however has been entertaining and a nice trip down memory lane for me, so thanks for that. : )
I actually saw that Superman TV Special. I felt cheated, but hey, I was a kid, I didn't appreciate satire yet.
I also remember Isis, and while it's true that (in typical superhero TV show at the time) the adventures were too mundane, Isis herself made a great character. Which is one of the (many) reasons I hate 52… they brought her into the DC universe just to kill her and set off Black Adam's murderous rage. Bah.
Not that comics couldn't be cheesy too. I missed Superman vs Muhammad Ali and now I'm glad I did- that's one senseless, dumb story! (great art tho.)
I also remember Supergirl's costume indecisiveness… I just wrote it off as a "girl thing" and paid no attention to it. But God, some of those costumes were AWFUL.
Btw, I've seen both the "Killdozer" movie and the story it was based on, and I'm pretty sure that in neither did the alien-possessed machine talk (or look like that). Did that happen in the actual comic, or was this another case of "cover made separately from the story that doesn't really have anything to do with it?"
Killdozer's Marvel adaptation is definitely a case of a lying cover.
The title of that Haney/Adams war story might be a reference to Van Morrison's song Astral Weeks – the last few lines are:
In another time
In another place

Bruno Buccellati
this wiki
|To complete my mission, and protect my men. Having to do both at once is what makes being an officer so tough. Are you ready for this? I know I am.
—Bruno throwing himself out of a speeding train with Prosciutto.
Bruno Buccellati (ブローノ・ブチャラティ Burōno Bucharati?) is a core ally in Vento Aureo.
Buccellati is a capo associated with major Neapolitan gang, Passione. He leads his own sub-gang, and is the first to lend meaningful support to protagonist, Giorno Giovanna.
Buccellati appears as a mid-sized man with a slim build. He has black chin length hair with borders covering his forehead.
His attire is composed of an all-white coat covered in small black spoon-like symbols, with a open chest similar to Giorno and zippers on his shoulders possibly alluding to his Stand, Sticky Fingers.
His appearance seems to have stayed consistent since childhood with no particular differences outside his height and clothing.
Buccellati is shown to be a moral man who is loyal to the citizens within his division's territory. This loyalty is constantly remarked about by the people, who go to him with even the most common, everyday requests. Giorno notes that Buccellati was at odds with himself when he used Sticky Fingers to hide inside the body of a teenager who was addicted to drugs, the sale of which Buccellati resents due to his father's death at the hands of drug addicts. Even so, Buccellati is made to turn a blind eye against the sale of drugs within his territory.
When talking to people he isn't familiar with, Bruno keeps a polite and nonchalant facade, as to reflect his dignity as a 'respectable' gang member.
Buccellati's mother had remarked about his kindness, as Buccellati willingly chose to take care of his lonely father rather than pursue an education in the city. Despite these actions, Buccellati usually keeps a serious and unflinching demeanor throughout the story and hardly ever smiles.
Bruno has a violent side despite his morality, he murdered his father's aggressor at age 10, and doesn't hesitate to kill his opponents.
- Main article: Sticky Fingers
Buccellati's humanoid Stand is Sticky Fingers; which in addition to good melee defense and attack enables him to create a great space inside almost any object by planting zippers there.
Bruno is a remarkable fighter in a Stand fight. Having mastered the versatile power of Sticky Fingers. Bruno can easily use the environment to his advantage, restrain people, swiftly evade incoming attacks and hit from blind spots. His natural selflessness means that survival isn't among his priorities, thus his actions will easily surprise his opponents.
Bruno is also a perceptive fighter, having been able to quickly deduce the weaknesses of King Crimson despite being fatally injured and take advantage of them. He is able to analyze his opponents' fighting style, and perceive their weakness.
Sweat Tasting
Bruno is able to know if someone is lying by tasting their sweat, claiming that a liar has a sweeter taste.
When Buccellati was seven years old, his parents decided to get a divorce. His father wanted to remain in the fishing village where they lived, while his mother wanted to move to the city. The two decided Buccellati should choose who he wanted to live with. Buccellati's mother tried to convince him to come with her to the city and receive an education, but in the end Buccellati said he would rather live with his father. Both parents were shocked, but Buccellati's mother understood the reasoning behind Buccellati's decision. Buccellati knew, even at his young age, that once his mother reached the city she would forget the village, even if she was crying and sad at the moment. However, his father would remain alone and slowly grow old and die, and that he needed someone there with him. This kindness was a part of Buccellati's personality, though his mother thought his weakness of being too warm to others would someday be his downfall and change his life for the worse.
As the years went on, Buccellati's father worked very hard, in the hope the Buccellati would one day move to the city and receive an education. One day, however two fishermen from outside the village borrowed a boat from Buccellati's father, claiming they wanted to fish around the small islands off Naples. The fishermen seemed strange, one even forgetting to take his fishing rod. Buccellati's father took the fishing rod and went to go look for the fishermen, but upon finding them, he saw that they were in fact gangsters involved with the drug trade. Buccellati's father was shot seven times but a nearby police boat found him and he was rushed to the hospital. The police examined the matter of the shooter, but needed to wait for Buccellati's father to wake up so he could identify him. However, while Buccellati's father was unconscious, the two gangsters sneaked into his room, intending to kill him. While one stood guard, the other was about to kill Buccellati's father, when suddenly he found a knife pointed at him by twelve year old Buccellati, who had been hiding under the bed.
Buccellati killed both gangsters, but in doing so put himself in an unfortunate position. He eventually joined the gang, in exchange for the protection Polpo could give him against the two gangsters' friends who might be seeking revenge. For a few years he worked under Polpo, not thinking to much of the gang's actions, though this was about the time the gang started dealing drugs within the city. Five years later, Buccellati's father died of complications during his surgery, but Buccellati knew the gang was involved with the surgery and that they were trying to separate him and his father.
Vento Aureo (2001)
Buccellati is shown to be a member of Passione and encounters Giorno Giovanna on a bus with interrogation about Luca's murder, using his Stand for intimidation before becoming Giorno's first fight using Gold Experience.
During his fight with Giorno, he uses his Stand to hide inside of someone's body before finding out that the person he was hiding inside was a thirteen year old drug addict. Feeling contradicted by helping the man that supplies these drugs to children, he holds back during the fight which prevents Giorno from pummeling him (after being slowed down by Gold Experience earlier).
This causes Giorno to declare Buccellati a partner and pursues initiation into Passione, Buccellati brings up how if the situation should arise where Giorno is discovered as someone who's trying to take control of the gang or that he's Luca's killer, he will not help Giorno since no one will help a traitor.
After Giorno's initiation, Buccellati explains that the best way to overthrow the boss is to be in the boss' good graces. He then introduces Giorno to his group which included Pannacotta Fugo, Narancia Ghirga, Leone Abbacchio and Guido Mista.
After Polpo's apparent suicide, Buccellati attempts to go to Capri island in order to seize Polpo's six billion lira "treasure" that he helped hide.
Once going to Capri Island, he reveals the location of the treasure zipped in a toilet and instantly gave the six billion to Pericolo, who in turn, promoted Buccellati to capo rank. Instantly after promotion, Buccellati was given a job to do which was to protect the boss' daughter.
After a failed first mission resulting in Narancia's injury and an entire street being set on fire, Buccellati is given another chance by retrieving a key from Pompeii (before getting intercepted by an assailant using an illusory Stand) for a turtle with a Stand power that serves as a room for the group. They are soon intercepted and stalked by another assailant and his crony leading to a confrontation which resulted in Buccellati defeating both of them despite his gang turning old from the assailant's Stand power while still inside the turtle.
With the consistent onslaught of attackers with Stands from the assassination group, Buccellati accomplishes his goal of bringing Trish safely to the boss. However, Giorno becomes suspicious about the boss' plan on his own daughter, thus giving Buccellati one of his ladybug pins in order to track his location while he delivers Trish to the boss just in case if there's anything happen to Buccellati while confronting the boss. While bringing Trish to his boss, Buccellati noticed that Trish frighten to see her father, who is then reveals himself to have wanted to kill Trish using King Crimson, thus causing a rift between the capo and his boss. He was killed by the boss' King Crimson during a fight until Giorno rushes Buccellati and Trish's aid in a same time the boss escaped due to fear of being discovered his identity. Though Buccellati's spirit was almost trascent to heaven, Giorno's healing ties Buccellati's spirit back into his dead body.
After the fight, Buccellati finalizes his betrayal by telling his group to either kill him or follow him, after a staunch and almost reluctant response to do either, the group (except for Fugo) stays with him. Awkwardly enough, Buccellati shows a high tolerance to pain after his fight with King Crimson (which is exhibited after he pierced his hand with a nail without realizing it and showing a bloodless cut on his leg after the confrontation with Tiziano and Squalo)
Despite being healed by Gold Experience, Buccellati still exhibited signs of post-mortem operation such as not responding to pain. He still kept with his mission of keeping Trish Una alive although it was proven after his confrontation with Secco, he has no pulse and is indeed walking dead. This nonliving body proves to hinder him on several occasions, such as crippling his body when he loses too much blood and impairing his vision, but does help him escape Green Day's effects as it only affects those who are living. However, his body, due to being effectively nonliving, is still affected by Secco's Oasis.
After saving a kid named Doppio from Cioccolata and nearby the Rome Coliseum where Polnareff is, Bruno's visions becomes blur and his body becomes cold as well, as he says that he won't go back where he belong yet after he meet Polnareff. Before dying, he asked Doppio to lend him a hand to get to Polnareff. When Doppio shakily called someone with a frog, in which recently switched into Diavolo persona and almost get spotted, unknown to Buccellati, he thought that Doppio left the scene and replaced by Trish (in reality is actually illusion form of Doppio by Diavolo). Once they finally made to meet Polnareff, Polnareff asked who Buccellati is and whose with him, and Buccellati reveal his name and tells Polnareff that he's with "Trish", however "Trish" is gone.
When Silver Chariot is sent astray after transforming into a Requiem form caused by Diavolo for killing Polnareff's body and had the protagonists switched bodies, Buccellati re-appears in Diavolo's body, while Diavolo is in Buccellati's body as they prepared to finished Diavolo for good but the problem is that Buccellati's body will be killed, however telling that Giorno (in Narancia's body)'s Gold Experience can heal him. After Narancia's death at the hands of King Crimson/Diavolo, and Giorno's returned to his original body, inside Buccellati's dying body was actually Doppio, while King Crimson/Diavolo is in another body. During their chase on Silver Chariot Requiem, the heroes soon discovered that King Crimson/Diavolo is actually inside Mista's body where Trish's soul is.
After defeating Chariot Requiem and having all souls back where it belong, Buccellati as a ghost must go the place where he belong due to knowing his body was already dead prior to his body replacement, he does not get switched back to his original body and is implied to have gone to a good afterlife, presumably Heaven.
The story of Buccellati's gang just after Luca's death is revealed. Buccellati receives a request from a flower shop owner, and the beginning of the story plays out reminiscent of the beginning of Mario Puzo's The Godfather. Shortly after, Buccellati's group goes to investigate Scolippi, upon which Mista attempts to prevent Rolling Stones from killing Buccellati. Eventually the group is successful in stopping Rolling Stone, but in return, guarantee themselves the gruesome deaths they were fated to suffer in the events later in Part V.
In Video Games
Vento Aureo (PS2)
Buccellati makes his debut on the PS2 game, as a boss and playable character.
Much like the events from PART V, Buccellati appears as the first enemy the player must face (controlling Giorno) in both Chapter One and Chapter Two. However, as the first chapter it's more a Tutorial, he doesn't offer much of a challenge, only in the following chapter does he act as a enemy. Also, when facing Requiem's chapter, Buccellati will fight in Diavolo's body, his seiyuu changes but his playstyle remains the same.
Buccellati is a very unique character in-game, as he can use his Stand, Sticky Fingers, to trap the enemy with its zippers, using it to quickly move around the stage (similar to how he escaped against Secco) and opening an hole in the ground to hide for the enemy during a certain period of time. Buccellati can also use his Stand to extend the range of his punches (using its zippers on his own arm) and his Stand's cry, "ARI ARI ARI..ARRIVEDERCI!".
Buccellati is also the character who faces the most amount of enemies on Super Story Mode, facing a total of 6 battles (surpassing even the main protagonist Giorno, who possess a total of 5 battles).
All-Star Battle (PS3)
Buccellati appears in All-Star Battle as a playable character, he was confirmed for the game alongside Narancia and Diavolo.
His moveset mostly remains the same from the previous game, and only received adjustments to make Buccellati's moves more fitting for a fighting game character, such as allowing him to use zippers to chain combos.
Buccellati's HHA involves him tackling the opponent before bringing them into a hole created by Sticky Fingers' zipper, and performing blows off-screen to them, before creating a zipper in the air and pile driving his victim, at the cost of a sliver of health. His GHA involves Sticky Fingers uppercutting the opponent which a zipper-extended punch. Buccellati and Sticky Fingers then retreat into an open zipper. Sticky Fingers creates and emerges from a zipper created under the airborne opponent and assaults them with a barrage of punches, shouting its Stand cry of "ARI ARI ARI" in the process. Buccellati slowly emerges from the zipper after many hits, bidding his opponent an "Arrivederci," as a final left hook from Sticky Fingers sends the opponent flying (similar to how he finished Pesci).
Buccellati was voted as the 4th most fan favorite character on All-Star Battle's League, making an exhibition match against Josuke Higashikata (Part IV) to promote the game.
Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)
Buccellati was confirmed for Eyes of Heaven alongside Diavolo and Trish Una, as both a playable character and a guide NPC.
He makes use of his zippers to augment his range of movement and attack, extending Sticky Finger's attacks through unzipping its arms or by attacking from a zipper itself. Buccellati may create a zipper from which he rides along the ground at a fast speed as his stamina is steadily consumed. His Style Action places a zipper on the ground. Enemies that step on the zippers are temporarily stunned and vulnerable, or Buccellati himself may enter one of the zippers in order to come out of another that has been placed.
He is paired with Trish in the Eyes of Heaven Tournament.
- In All-Star Battle, if he is hit with Giorno's HHA, Gold Experience delivers a potent hook to his jaw as a tooth flies from his mouth, recreating the exact same scenario in the manga.
- One of the origins of the name Bruno is literally the word "Brown". Bruno's first name is likely a reference to the song "Brown Sugar" from the Rolling Stones' Album, Sticky Fingers. Also considering his last name being a sweet/sugary/dessert, Bruno Buccellati could directly reference "Brown Sugar".
- "Buccellati" is the name of a prestigious jewelry located in Milan (Italy).
- He was first seen with a relaxed & sadistic attitude (possibly to lower Giorno's guard & intimidate him) only in his debut arc when he was investigating Giorno for the death of Leaky-eye Luca. Afterwards he had a very serious & unflinching demeanor throughout the story. He is not smiling since his introduction until the team's betrayal & seeing Narancia going with him against the boss.
- He shares the same birthday with Giorno's biological nephew Joseph Joestar.
- He along with Leone Abbacchio & Polpo were present in the one shot Jolyne, Fly High with GUCCI.
- Out of Araki's Top 10 favorite characters list in 2000, Buccellati ranks 3rd, right under Yoshikage Kira & Josuke Higashikata, being the most favored side protagonist, character from Vento Aureo & overall favorite character outside of Part IV.

Beautiful viewsPosted Aug 23, 2016
The resort is nice. Although the views are beautiful, all the villas are on a mountain side so you're not directly on the beach. They do offer a shuttle service that is 24/7, so at least all amenities are accessible within 5 minutes. Flood and drinks were good and the staff/service was amazing; St Lucians are naturally warm, friendly people.

Very nice family friendly hotel. The room was beautiful, clean and had a spectacular view of the sea. The beach was pretty good, despite some trash floating from time to time and towels were hard to come by depending on the time. Overall a very good experience!

Great hotel, wonderful beachPosted Aug 8, 2016
Pros: Prices are reasonable and the location is great.
Cons: Menu at the restaurants is a bit boring after the first couple of days
Location: Wonderful dive center in the resort
We've spent there 6 nights. The villas is located on a hill, quick walking or shuttle ride to the reception, pools, and some restaurants. It was nice and relaxing. The only downside where the little frogs, that made beeping noise at sunset and throughout the night - somehow annoying. Depending on how soundly one sleeps I would definitely recommend taking earplugs (not sure if they are there all year long, may be worth checking)

Great Resort Poor DiningPosted May 11, 2016
Pros: See above
Cons: See above
Location: Lots of options
The resort location,facilities, beach and water sports are great. The water sports Staff is fantastic! The whole dining experience is poor. The stuffiness, lack of service lack of food choices and poor attitudes of the majority of the staff is disappointing. The bartenders had the same poor attitudes. Now there were a few waitstaff and bartenders that were good. Overall I have been to more welcoming places. While it's a 4 Star resort and it beautiful be prepared for a stuffy condescending feeling from most of the people there.

SMU student reports sexual assault, as task force continues to review university policies
A Southern Methodist University student told campus police that she was sexually assaulted by a student acquaintance in a campus dorm room on Monday, according to SMU police.
The student told police that the assault occurred early Monday morning in Perkins Hall. SMU police are investigating the incident and issued a campus alert to students and faculty on Tuesday.
Monday's report comes at a time when the university is reviewing its sexual misconduct policies. In 2012, five sexual assaults involving SMU students were reported to police. Two students were arrested on charges of sexual assault in separate incidents.
In late September, SMU President R. Gerald Turner announced the creation of a task force on sexual misconduct to "examine SMU's procedures and policies in comparison with benchmark practices to determine if any updates or changes are needed" and asked the task force to complete its report by March.
The task force report will not be completed by March, according to SMU spokeswoman Patti LaSalle, but it will be completed sometime in the spring.

This console generation is quickly approaching its expiration date. Every post 2013 PS3 & Xbox 360 game will have to compete with next generation ones. This almost guarantees that they'll be lost in the noise — most gamers will be too busy with their shiny new consoles. Here are five games that need a release date as soon as possible (i.e., one that falls before the winter of 2013, a.k.a. the current-gen apocalypse).
Agent – Agent is one of the more mysterious games of this console generation. Rockstar and Sony announced it at E3 2009 — but since then details have been almost non-existent. Rockstar's games usually generate a lot of hype, but this is one that will get buried if it comes out too late. So don't be surprised if Agent also has a PS4 version (it'll be next generation's Bully Scholarship Edition).
Final Fantasy Versus 13 – Really, what can be said about Final Fantasy Versus 13? Square-Enix released a sequel to XIII before even putting out a game they announced in 2006! Jeez, at this point most gamers have written this off as vaporware. But don't give up hope just yet; it's coming — one day. Seriously though, if this doesn't come out by next year Square-Enix should go ahead and press "cancel". Once the next generation consoles are on store shelves no one is going to give a damn. No, that's not true; gamers will buy Final Fantasy Versus 13 just to tell their grandkids "Gosh darn-it, this shit actually came out, they weren't trolling!" (Duke Nukem Forever).
Half-Life 3 – Wait, what about Half Life 2 Episode 3? Well, at this point an expansion pack is no longer ideal — gamers want a true sequel. Valve has been busy releasing Portal 1 & 2 and making Steam the best place to buy PC games, but it's time to revisit Half-Life. A third installment would be the perfect E3 2012 announcement, but don't get your hopes up… sorry Bryan.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 – Beyond Good & Evil is a cult classic, it didn't move a ton of units, but critics and gamers loved it. So obviously everyone was excited when Beyond Good & Evil 2 was announced at a 2008 Ubisoft press event. After the announcement news on the project was scarce. Fast forward to last year, now Michel Ancel is saying that Jade's latest adventure is headed to next generation consoles. But according to one of Xbox World Magazine's sources Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still coming to current generation consoles. Hopefully that last bit is true because if it really is headed to the PS4 and Next Xbox, Michel Ancel's team will just run into more problems, and then delay it again.
The Last Guardian – The Last Guardian was originally supposed to come out last year, but it got delayed last April to sometime in "2012". Well, it's 2012 now, but it's highly unlikely that we'll see this one before the end of the year. According to Shuhei Yoshida (the president of Sony Worldwide Studios) progress on the title is slow. Hopefully things pick up and The Last Guardian comes out in 2013 — it's the perfect PS3 swan song.
Okay now here's a little challenge — which one of these games do you think will release first, and which one do you think will turn into vapor before our eyes?

Never Give In To Threats
What did Spain do? They said, "Yes, yes, oh guys with guns and scary scarves, we'll leave, please don't hurt us." End result? Spain leaves the region and the terrorists took their little game to a bunch of other countries to see if they would crumble as easily as our Spagnolo friends. Why? Because Spain set a precedent. They wrote the rulebook and now everyone is a victim of this stupid game. All they had to do was say no and then deal with the consequences, as unpleasant as they might be. The good of the many outweighs the good of the few.
they always want moreEnough about politics. Even in the good old U.S. of A, in Happyville, Florida, giving in to someone's threats sets the same kind on precedent.
If some neighborhood punk threatens you every time you walk by his side of the street, running away won't make him stop. Standing up to him will.
If you have a business associate who wants an undeserved bigger piece of the action and you give him a bigger slice, guess what? He'll just come back for more every time he feels like it (or every time his dealer ups the price on his blow).
If you have a boss who asks you to eat dog food or get fired, and you get on your knees like the mutt you are and do it, guess what? The next time it won't be dog food, it'll be toxic waste from Three Mile Island, and he knows you'll eat that too.
A guy offers to put you six feet under unless you give up your wife for a one-night stand (or any other sick threat), you tell him the only digging that'll be done is the hole you'll be making for his tombstone. Otherwise, you'll be giving up your wife every single time he has so much as an itch.
If a guy has some crap on you that he's threatening to sue you with unless you pay up to keep him quiet, send him the phone book with a list of lawyers and tell him to pick his poison.
If someone has some compromising pictures of you and threatens to send them to your wife unless you leave an envelope with dough in some park next to some tree, guess what? The blackmail will only end when you either go broke or get a divorce.
Let's say you're a manager at MacDonny's, and some clown says to you, "Pay me more, or I quit." What do you do? You go to his locker and dump his garbage in the street, or risk having every pimple-faced cafone in the place asking for a raise.
the only exceptionThere is one situation where my rules don't apply. Actually two. If Alfredo comes around selling you premium cheese from Mr. Mafioso, just pay up and make yourself a sandwich. We've covered that one.
The other situation is when someone in your family has been kidnapped. If a guy threatens your family, it's your duty as a man to do everything you can to protect them from harm. But when a coward kidnaps your kid from under your nose, there is nothing you can do but give in to whatever it is they want.
Yes, you are setting a precedent, but now you're dealing with the most precious thing in your life: your flesh and blood.
This is not a time to pull a "Keyser Soze" and shoot up your family because you don't appreciate being told what to do. Leave that to the movies, you idiot...

Kell Brook easily swats aside Kevin Bizier in two
Kell Brook decimated mandatory challenger Kevin Bizier in two rounds to retain his IBF welterweight title but the Englishman now requires a significant challenge.
Kell Brook decimated mandatory challenger Kevin Bizier in two rounds to retain his IBF welterweight title but the Englishman now requires a significant challenge.
Kell Brook is desperate to face other top welterweights but must overcome IBF mandatory challenger Kevin Bizier on March 26 before targeting bigger game.
English welterweight contender Sam Eggington will face countryman Frankie Gavin at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham on Oct. 17.
In this week's Monday mailbag, fans from both sides of The Pond share their thoughts on Kell Brook's domination of Frankie Gavin, Amir Khan's tough outing against Chris Algieri, Lee Selby's title win against Evgeny Gradovich, Anthony Joshua's demolition of Kevin Johnson and what might be next for the weekend's winners. Enjoy!
In a fight for the connoisseurs rather than the casuals, Sheffield's welterweight titleholder Kell Brook took his time and patiently dissected the challenge of fellow Briton Frankie Gavin on Saturday at London's O2 Arena, before suddenly trading subtlety for savagery in round six and stopping the southpaw against the ropes. Brook retained his IBF belt and extended his unbeaten run to 35 fights.
There was barely a shred of fat to be had at the weigh-in for the huge Matchroom Boxing show which takes place on Saturday at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday.
In this week's Friday mailbag, fans share thoughts on tomorrow's quadrupleheader in London featuring Kell Brook-Frankie Gavin, Jorge Linares-Kevin Mitchell, Evgeny Gradovich-Lee Selby and Anthony Joshua-Kevin Johnson, plus all-British mythical matchups, love for Nigel Benn, questions about Freddie Roach, Alexander Povetkin and Chris Algieri, and much more. Enjoy!
This Saturday unbeaten British star Kell Brook defends his IBF welterweight title against countryman Frankie Gavin in London. The hard-hitting Sheffield product promises to build on the explosive performance he posted against Jo Jo Dan in March, with an eye toward Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September.
Kell Brook's defense of his IBF welterweight title this Saturday will be the latest all-British (England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales) world-title fight in the modern era, going back to 1980 when Jim Watt faced Charlie Nash.
Frankie Gavin isn't intimated by the prospect of challenging Kell Brook, THE RING's No. 1-rated 147 pounder, for the IBF title on Saturday in London. The once-beaten British prospect is confident that his technical southpaw style and recent activity will enable him to pull what would be considered a huge upset.
Former five-division world titleholder Oscar De La Hoya believes Jorge Linares' WBC lightweight title defense against Britain's Kevin Mitchell, which takes place in London, England, on May 30, will be a highly competitive all-action encounter.
Unbeaten British welterweight Kell Brook will defend his IBF championship against countryman Frankie Gavin at the O2 Arena in London, England, on May 30.
Welterweight contenders Chris Van Heerden and Frankie Gavin will square off in a compelling bout on May 9 in Gavin's hometown of Birmingham, England, Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed to RingTV late Tuesday night.
British welterweight champion Frankie Gavin has signed a promotional deal with Matchroom Boxing and will support Kell Brook's defense of his IBF 147-pound belt against Jo Jo Dan on March 28.
Lem Satterfield's latest notebook has the details on a tentative lightweight title bout between IBF beltholder Miguel Vazquez and Mickey Bey.
English welterweight contender Frankie Gavin maintained his perfect record with a straightforward, albeit pedestrian, points victory over countryman David Barnes at The Copper Box Arena in Hackney, London, on Saturday.
Billy Joe Saunders has emerged from the shadows of amateur stars and promotional stablemates James DeGale and Frankie Gavin to develop into one of Britain's best young fighters. Saunders faces fellow unbeaten middleweight prospect Gary O'Sullivan on Saturday in London.
Frankie Gavin retained his British welterweight title with a seventh-round stoppage of countryman Denton Vassell in Liverpool.
Mikey Garcia turned top-rated Orlando Salido into helpless prey to win THE RING featherweight title in a break-out performance Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

If you don't know what Port Forwarding is yet, you might want to start by reading our What is Port Forwarding guide.
You might also be interested in our huge collection of Router Screenshots where you can see every page of every router that we know of.
To setup port forwarding on the Belkin F5D7632-4v3 router your device needs to have a static IP address. You should complete one of the following steps first:
Now that you have setup a Static IP Address on your device, please enter the IP address that you assigned to your device here:
Now we need to know your routers IP address. You can find it a variety of ways.
It's ok if you don't know your Belkin F5D7632-4v3 router's internal IP address. You can find it by doing one of the following:
Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser.
In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your Belkin F5D7632-4v3 router. By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.2.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your Belkin F5D7632-4v3 password. Enter the password now.
Click the Submit button to log in to your Belkin F5D7632-4v3 router.
Please visit our Default Belkin Router Passwords page if the username and password shown below did not work for you.
If you can't login to your router because you forgot your Belkin F5D7632-4v3 router password, use our How to Reset a Router Password guide to set your Belkin F5D7632-4v3 router back to its factory settings.
If you are having trouble with this guide, then perhaps PFConfig may be your solution. PFConfig is a software tool that will automatically forward ports for your router to save you time and hassle.
Since you are reading this guide, I'm going to assume that you have Bit Tornado installed. Open up Bit Tornado.
Close to the top you will see a Prefs link. Go ahead and click that link now.
The Port Range box defines the ports that Bit Tornado will use. These are the ports that you need to forward to your computer. Bit Tornado does not need the full 50,000 ports that come predefined. Go ahead and uncheck the Random checkbox. Enter 10000 into the From box, and enter 10010 into the To box. If you expect to download more than 10 files at the same time, then you should make this range of ports larger.
On this page there is a UPNP Port Forwarding drop down box. Open it up and set that box to disabled. We are not going to use UPNP to forward our ports. Now go find your router on our routers page, and forward the port range you set above.
Now that you are logged in to your Belkin F5D7632-4v3 router you should see the following:
Click the Virtual Servers link near the left of the page.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. BitTornado requires you to forward the following ports: 10000-10010. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Virtual Servers menu.
|LAN IP Address
|Protocol Type
When you're finished, click Apply Changes near the top of the screen to save your changes.
And that's it! You're done!
Now that you have forwarded ports for BitTornado on the Belkin F5D7632-4v3 you should test to see if your ports are forwarded correctly.
To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Open Port Check tool. Our Open Port Check tool is the only online port checking tool with Guaranteed Results.

We are excited to learn of your interest in joining Augsburg College!
Attending a university far from home is exciting, and at times, intimidating. At Augsburg College we work hard to make sure you feel at home. Through our student-centered approach, faculty and staff are committed to educating students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Should I apply as an international student?
You should apply for admissions as an international student if you are not a United States citizen or permanent resident of the United States. Augsburg defines international students as those that will need to study on a F-1 student visa.
I/my parents have applied for a green card (U.S. permanent residency). Am I still considered an international student?
Yes. You are still considered an international student until you have received the green card.
I am a DACA/undocumented student. Am I considered an international student?
Augsburg College has worked with and for undocumented students since 2007 and is recognized as an undocu-friendly institution in the state of Minnesota.
DACA/undocumented students apply as domestic students and receive application support and financial aid information from our domestic admission counselors. To learn more about how to apply please visit the first-year admission or transfer admission sites.
Do I need to take the TOEFL or IELTS exam?
All international applicants are required to take the TOEFL or IELTS unless they meet one of the following waiver requirements:
- Combined score of 1030 or higher on the Critical Reading and Writing sections of the SAT
- An ACT composite score of 22 or higher
- One academic year (two semesters or four quarters) of transferable college level English courses (i.e.: English 101 and English 102) with grades of B or higher
Is the SAT required for admissions?
Augsburg does not require SAT scores for admission purposes. However, SAT scores may be submitted instead of TOEFL or IELTS scores to demonstrate English language proficiency.
My current TOEFL score does not meet the minimum requirement. Can I apply for conditional admissions?
In reviewing your application and supporting documents, if you are academically admissible, but are missing the required level of English language proficiency the admissions committee may admit you conditionally. Students have the following options to meet the English language requirement for full admissions:
- Retake the TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, or ACT and meet our minimum score requirements
- Attended and successfully pass the required level of Intensive English language training at one of our partner programs:
- Global Language Institute- complete the mastery level and faculty recommendation.

What scholarships am I eligible for as an international student? How can I apply for a scholarship?
All international applicants (first-year and transfer) are eligible for an International Regent's Scholarship. The International Regent Scholarship ranges in amount based on an applicant's GPA. Students who submit a completed application are considered for the scholarship at the same time they are considered for admissions- there is no separate application for scholarship consideration.
I attended a college/university after finishing high school. Can I apply as a freshman, even if I have a few credits?
No. Anyone who attended a college/university after finishing high school must apply as a transfer student.
I want to transfer credit for my classes at a university outside of the United States. Will I receive transfer credit?
International students who attended universities outside of the United States must have an official evaluation of their academic records completed. Transcripts must be reviewed by World Education Services (WES) or Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE).
I am applying as a freshman. Do my high school transcripts need to be officially evaluated?
All high school transcripts are evaluated by your international admissions counselor at Augsburg. We do not require official evaluations of high school transcripts.
I submitted my application. How long will it take before I learn about my admission decision?
Applicants will be informed within 7 to 10 business days regarding their admission decision along with information about scholarship award, if any.
What are your admissions deadlines?
The priority application deadline for the following fall semester is February 1. We recommend you apply before then in order to receive maximum consideration for scholarships.

Sears replaced an O2 sensor but did not perform a "under hood courtesy check" as per their work order. Else the problem would've been easily identified/corrected. I requested a refund of labor charge because Sears was supposed to fix my car and failed miserably identifying an OBVIOUS problem. They refused to refund a measly $108 arguing my car couldn't possibly run with air intake hose disconnected when the FACT remains it did for over a week!! Told them I would be spending thousands at Sears had they done the right thing, are you sure? ...sorry that's our final decision. Do yourself a favor don't ever trust Sears with your car, bottom line: they don't honor the work they put in WRITING!!

If you have a problem repaired at another shop with out involving the original repair shop (I work For a Dealer far away) in the diagnoses and repair portion, it will not be refunded or covered. Too easy for any customer to defraud and if there was a warranty issue they would have contacted the original repair shop first.
Rule of thumb " You are never comming back here, You are angry and unhappy, Refused to follow the warranty rules, Refunding your money will not change that, or what you are going to say about us, so why would I refund your money"
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
