WEEKEND READING: C.C. Beck, Winnie The Pooh, Comic Con International and The Simpsons!
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials
Alrighty then! Lots of great stuff on the internets this past week. Good stuff for fans of Captain Marvel and C.C. Beck, Winnie the Pooh, some guy that used to write Aquaman and Comic Con International (it’ll be here before you know, don’t you know). Enjoy!
CAPTAIN MARVEL’S SCI-FI CLASSIC: C.C. Beck is best known as not just the main artist on Captain Marvel (the Shazam guy, not the Marvel Comics one known as Mar-Vell but also the co-creator. Once DC Comics sued Fawcett Comics into the ground, he did a little fiction writing and became a published science fiction writer. His short story, Vanishing Point, is over at Gutenberg and you can have a nice free-read of it.

BENJAMIN HOFF, PIGLET AND WINNIE THE POOH: Benjamin Hoff is a successful published author of books like The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet. Based on the way he’s been treated by his publisher, you can see why more authors are self-publishing, and why the more you find out about how traditional book publishing is run, the more it resembles the dwindling auto industry.
SHAUN: My pal Shaun McLaughlin was at one time the writer for DC’s Aquaman. You can read all about his Aquaman years over at The Aquaman Shrine. After that, he became a producer at the WB where he was responsible for a number of the animated TV shows that we all love, including Batman Beyond and Justice League Unlimited. He once described his work on JLU as “doing everything Bruce Timm doesn’t do.” You can read all about his JLU years at Ugo.
He was most recently the producer/show runner on Beckett Entertainment’s “Gene-Fusion” which he describes as “THE sporting event of the 24th century!”
