Michael Vance and Mark Allen Comic Reviews
Gordon of Gotham: Mark takes a look back on the 4-part miniseries. Hate Annual #3: Michael has a very short comments about it in his Mini-Review. Zendra 2.0: Mike's quote for the jacket would be, "There is nice art greatly enhanced by excellent color, competent story and very strong characterization." But there are more colors and comments in the full review.

Star Wars Promo Kit
The Original Star Wars Collectible!

Star Wars Original Promo FlyerStar Wars Original Trailer 16MMImagine being transported back to 1977... You work at Twentieth Century Fox Studios and it's your job to promote a science fiction movie by some little-known director and a bunch of no-name actors. The studio hasn't given you a whole lot of money to do your job, but you know that you can get some cheap word-of-mouth advertising from the Trekkies that are watching that cancelled TV series now in syndication. Who knows? - Those nerds might just do your job for you!

That's precisely how these two promotional items were created. A small blue and silver 7-1/2"x8-3/4" flyer bearing the Star Wars and 20th Century Fox logos and a small 16MM trailer for the soon-to-be-released movie. That promo person (now long forgotten) sent Starcon Denver a few hundred of the color flyers - so everyone at the convention could get one - but only one 16MM trailer. This is that trailer and one of those flyers. Click here to take a closer look at this item on E-Bay.

The Hulk Quiz & Contest
Screening Monday June 16, 2003 at 7:00pm at the UA Colorado Center in Denver
Acclaimed filmmaker Ang Lee's concept for his film adaptation of the classic Marvel Comics series, The Hulk, combines all the elements of a blockbuster visual effects-intensive superhero movie with the brooding romance and tragedy of Universal's classic horror films. In depicting The Hulk as both a superhero and a monster, a wish fulfillment and a nightmare, Lee and his team have stayed true to the early subversive spirit of the character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, while completely updating The Hulk and projecting it into the dangers and aspirations of contemporary times.

Jungle Book 2 DVD & VHS Quiz & Contest
Win a copy of the movie by playing our quiz/contest!
Disney’s "The Jungle Book 2" adds an all-new animated chapter to one of the best-loved animated classics of all time. Mowgli now lives in the man village, and he loves his new family and friends, especially his feisty little step-brother Ranjan and his best pal Shanti, the girl who initially wooed Mowgli from the jungle. But Mowgli misses his buddy Baloo, who likewise pines for his little man-cub. Baloo isn’t the only one hoping to see Mowgli again soon - Shere Khan impatiently awaits his revenge. When Mowgli sneaks away to the jungle, the chase is on to see who will find Mowgli first - his old pals, his new family, or the man-eating tiger. It’s an adventure packed with thrills, songs and fun for the whole family. The film gets a musical boost from both a reprise of "The Bare Necessities" and Smash Mouth’s rousing rendition of "I Wan’na Be Like You" as well as new tunes like the show-stopping "W-I-L-D" and the swinging beat of "Jungle Rhythm."
