Nerdy Nuggets of News: July 2006 Archives

Here's to the gal who will always be a Wonder Woman in our hearts: Lynda Carter! She was born on July 24th in 1951, which makes her a young lookin' 55 year old. Ms. Carter's still a hot mama, judgin' from her recent roles in Sky High and the Dukes of Hazzard movie! I'll never forget that day in 1975 when I saw the broadcast premiere of Wonder Woman on ABC. Oh What A Night, True Believers! I met a judge in Corpus Christi (that's in Texas for you city slickers) at that same time who owned a comic book store--before the direct market--and he remarked to my Mamma that he couldn't believe that those WW2 era folks didn't faint when Ms. Carter walked down the street in her brazen little outfit. These five pics below show her evolution from 70s babe (in Bobbi Jo and the Outlaw) to Wonder Woman, and then from Wonder Gal to Cowgirl, and finally as a hot mama from a People magazine pick. Look at how that little feller can't wait to open up that chest of goodness! Nerds young and old salute ya, Ms. Carter, no matter which actress becomes the new Wonder Gal! Nuff said.

I've been browsing the videos on YouTube, looking for Comic Con 2006 stuff, and stumbled upon this cool interview with Gary Friedrich, the original writer on Ghost Rider when it debuted in the 1970s. It's a substantial piece that lasts just over 9 minutes and covers many topics. Friedrich doesn't really care for Cage as Johnny Blaze, nor does he put much stock in the director of Daredevil. Beyond the Ghost Rider, Friedrich goes over the early Marvel Bullpen days. Nuff said.

Evil Robby is back with a vengeance, skewering Superman Returns! He must be dialing H-O-R-R-O-R instead of H-E-R-O as Robby did in DC Comics Presents #44 when he teamed up with Superman. I was all psyched to go see Superman Returns in IMAX 3D today, but this review makes me think I should wait for the DVD. Nuff said.
