During the memorable years when Radio was America's favorite home entertainment medium, the airwaves were permeated with all sorts of programming. There were the daytime dramas of domestic stress and five-day-a-week children's adventure serials. There were even adaptations of great works of the theater and literature. From Archie Andrews to Tom Mix, all radio characters and programs that ever stemmed from a comic book or comic strip in radio's golden age are collected here, for the first time, in an easy-to-read, A through Z book!

(W) William Schoell The Silver Age of Comics looks at super-hero comic books that were published in the mid-fifties to late sixties, a period when super-heroes, most of whom had been replaced by science fiction, crime, and romance comics, once again gained popularity and grew to virtually take over the whole comic book industry. The book not only looks at popular and lesser-known series including those from smaller publishers such as Charlton and Gold Key, commenting on the most interesting stories, it also examines the artists who were prominent during this period, and looks at why their work could be so effective on different strips. The book also looks at how different comics reflected - or didn't reflect - the changing mores and attitudes of the turbulent times when civil rights, women's rights, and other social movements got more and more attention.

When Walt Disney died in 1966, many predicted that it might be the end of Walt Disney Productions, but Walt had a number of ideas and concepts that lasted well into the next decade. He also left behind a well-established group of workers that hoped to continually answer the question, 'What would Walt do?' with more magical creations that would dazzle and delight. With this book, author and historian Mark Arnold explores the major accomplishments of Walt Disney Productions during the years 1966-1985, paying particular attention to their theatrical film output, but also discussing the various new theme park attractions and the TV shows produced during that period.

In the world of adult cinema, one name stands out above all others: John Holmes. For nearly 20 years, from 1967 to 1987, Holmes reigned as the undisputed king of X-rated films, having appeared in a record 2,200 plus productions, from the landmark Johnny Wadd movies to the legendary Insatiable with Marilyn Chambers. To a legion of fans world-wide, he was known as 'Mr. Big.' To industry insiders, he was 'Mr. Nice Guy.' Yet for all of his fame and notoriety, Holmes remained an intensely private person and a mystery man. In a startlingly frank autobiography, Porn King is a sizzling, sensuous, fast-paced story laced with controversy. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

Sam Slade didn't believe in Gorgo until he saw the monster's hideous scaly face, its slimy green talons and the massive mouth that could swallow a killer whale. If this was not enough he was to have even bigger problems in his future. Released by MGM in 1961, Gorgo is that oft-told cinematic fable of the giant beast that threatens humanity. This volume contains the shooting script and the original tie-in novel by Carson Bingham and a production background by Bill Cooke. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

From 1951's Dangerous Assignment to today's Covert Affairs, we've watched cloak-and-dagger adventures from popular successes like Alias and Mission: Impossible to thoughtful mini-series like The Sandbaggers. Our TV secret agents have worn masks and capes, fought in the historical past, been as stylish as Napoleon Solo in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., or have been as frumpy as George Smiley in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Dr. Wesley Britton has compiled the first indispensable reference book on television espionage unveiling the secrets behind our beloved favorites and the programs that disappeared without a trace.

No history of comics could fairly rank the milestones without first acknowledging the millstones. Who knew that iconic artists such as Jack Kirby, Bill Ward, and writer Otto Binder once conjured racist and sexist depictions of Wonder Woman, Li'l Abner, Captain Marvel, and Luke Cage? Back then, stereotypes were dynamo tropes. Since their invention, comics tried to reflect on life, but today some refract into laughs. The Unattractive relics from the past now demonstrate a record of bigoted and chauvinistic ideas with embarrassing and bizarre characters that included females tagged as 'beautiful and dumb' and Blacks pictured as semi-literate jive-talkin' street people. Carson Demmans' funny and thought-provoking book showcases sections about Blacks, Women, Native Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and a final section that contains stories so offensive that they are unclassifiable. Beware of the raw clichés, but prepare to be amazed. Illustrated with reprinted comic books stories, cover art, and panels, along with original art. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

The Time Tunnel was by no means a superb product of Friday night entertainment. If the plot holes were not as large as the tunnel itself, viewers noticed the same props from Allen's other television programs popping up on the show. This book documents the entire history of the program, the origin and conception of the series, why it never ran a second season, almost 200 never-before-published behind-the-scenes photographs, and a detailed episode guide.

Hindsight is one man's remarkably revealing story about sex and relationships, on the silver screen and in his private life. Howie Gordon (screen name Richard Pacheco) was an award-winning actor during The Golden Age of Porn, whose memoir does not duck the question, 'What about love?' With charm, passion, wit, and what may best be described as a crude elegance, Gordon's story takes us back to the fabled Baby Boomer era, when erotic films took a dramatic step closer to mainstream entertainment in America.
