Calvin and Hobbes Something Under the Bed 1986-87

I think I owned this one, or at least I've read them before. Lots of laughing, Calvin and Hobbes is a fun comic.

I'm a fan of the Spaceman Spiff ones, I particularly like how it goes between his imagination and the real life.

2001 A Space Oddessy

In the year 2002 or 2003 I had read the book and seen the movie. They weren't quality enough for me to want to read or view them again, but my familiarity to the story drove me to read the comic.

What I did like about the comic was that I could resolve the story in a short time; in contrast, the book took forever to read and the movie was not very entertaining.

As for the story, I have never been satisfied with the strange ending but I do like the technology available to man in the year 2001. I thought it was interesting to see where we thought we would be just a year before I had read the book.

Flash Gordon Dailies "Lost Legion" 1959

I read a Flash Gordon comic. I had never been aquatinted with Flash before so I was new to everything the story had to offer.

Within the first few strips of the comic you come to understand that the story takes place sometime in earths future, you also quickly find out that earth is at war with a far more advanced enemy called the Skorpi. Working on a sabotaged space station, Flash confronts and captures the Skorpi spy's space ship. With this ship Flash goes out into distance space to find allies to help in earths cause. He flies into a conflict between Skorpi and Dhreen inevitably meeting up with a key figure Ellta. Back on earth, with Ellta's help a Skorpi plan of invasion of earth is found out and an allience between earth and the Dhreen. To set up for the following comic in the story, the Dhreen agree to send reinforcements to earth to fight the Skorpi threat.

Behind this story of a galactic war there is another story. This one involves Flash's personal love life. Upon his return to the earth Flash had planned to get married. Ellta would not allow this as she was in love with Flash. Ellta blackmailed Flash, threatening not to have the Dhreen assist earth if he didn't see things her way.

In "Lost Legion", I did not find out if Earth will be saved or if Flash does get married to his love, Dale. But I did enjoy reading Flash Gordon.
