I have wonderful Yuletide memories. Like every young boy, I quickly learned that the true meaning of the Holiday Season was… getting more stuff. And being the greedy little monster I was, (and, I guess, I remain) I also learned that I could extend that wonderful feeling of “Christmas Acquisition” through books. More than a toy, or apparel or certainly candy, the enjoyment of a book would linger well past the twelve days of Christmas.
As a comics fan back in the day, actual books about comics were few and far between. One that did make it onto the traditional bookstore shelves was Jules Feiffer’s The Great Comic Book Heroes. Soon after Superman: From the 30’s to the 70’s was a one of those “big wow” books about comics that was gifted to me. It was so massively thick that I couldn’t imagine anyone would be able...

The world has quickly forgotten that Iron Man was always kind of a B-level superhero. As you know, mid-tier comic titles like Iron Man or The Guardians of the Galaxy have now become blockbuster movie franchises. And next up is Doctor Strange, the thoughtful, deliberative sorcerer of the Marvel Universe who was always a well loved, but ultimately B-level player. We know that bigger things are in store for him as his cinematic manifestation, in the guise of actor Benedict Cumberbatch, was plastered all over downtown San Diego.
There have been several other comic book magicians with pencil thin mustaches and one was so popular that his adventures also enjoyed time on the big screen. It seemed like Mandrake should have broken out of that B-character ghetto by now.

A business magazine recently featured a story about the astoundingly short average life span of today’s companies, brands and product leaders. They noted that the average life expectancy of a modern company is something like 15 years. I think about a brand like PalmPilot, where one of my college buddies made a fortune, and how that name is practically a trivia question for this year’s Mba graduates. (“Is it a helicopter operator in Palm Beach?”) Likewise, cool companies they want to work for include Google and Lululemon – brands that didn’t exist 15 years ago.
So with all that in mind, let’s explore the opposite: the challenges of working with an 80-year-old brand in such a fickle climate.
Created in 1936, Lee Falk’s The Phantom was the first costumed comic hero. Bridging the gap of the masked vigilantes of the pulps (The Shadow, The Spider, etc.) and comic book superheroes,...

Is Amanda Bynes the next former child star heading toward her own reality TV show? Lindsay Lohan is already signed for an eight-episode docu-series to debut on Own in 2014. Now, it's being reported that the producers behind Lohan's show are interested in doing one with Bynes.
According to RumorFix, Pilgrim Studios is working with Chinga Chang records, the label that offered Amanda a record deal in June. Dan Herman, the CEO of the label, says, "I talked to Amanda on Monday and she wants to do this."
Dan says the show, if Bynes accepts, would follow her star as she launches a music career. It would show her working with her producer, a celebrity mentor and also feature her family and friends. In addition to the $200,000 Herman has offered Amanda as an advance on the album, he says she could make $80,000 an episode for the show.

Remember when Amanda Bynes said she was planning to release her very own rap album? Well, it might actually happen.
Bynes is in the process of working out a record deal with Waka Flocka, according to TMZ. The Georgia native told the website he plans to sign the former Nickelodeon star to his Brick Squad Monopoly label. The two have supposedly been FaceTiming each week and texting every day about the album, which is slated to be titled "Shots."
Does he think she's a little out there?
"Not at all," he told TMZ. "She has it all together to me. She is cool as hell and ready for the rap world. I think she is going to kill the game."
Flocka even thinks Bynes could be the next Pink.

Amanda Bynes' music career may still be in the works, but she's down one major producer.
The 27-year-old former actress and current tweeter was rumored to work with the Fugees' Wyclef Jean on her supposed upcoming record deal. A representative from Jean's camp, however, has denied any involvement.
Jean's team reportedly told TMZ that the producer and rapper hasn't spoken to Bynes about collaborating, nor has any plans to do so.
Rumors of a Bynes-Jean team-up were sparked by a statement from the CEO of Chinga Chang Records, a company that reportedly offered Bynes a record deal. "I think it would be perfect," CEO Dan Herman told E! News. "Linking the two of them will be something major." He added that Jean was "receptive" to the idea of teaming up with Bynes, and spoke of arranging a meeting between the two of them earlier this week, which never took place.

Perhaps ready to begin her music career, Amanda Bynes will be meeting with Wyclef Jean on Monday (June 17) to discuss a possible collaboration.
Dan Herman, who is the CEO of Chinga Chang Records told E! News that the pairing would produce an album that would “shock the world.”
"She has such a great voice. Singers wish they could hit the notes that Amanda does," Mr. Herman, who will also be present at the meeting commented.
Meanwhile, the former Nickelodeon star offered up somewhat of an apology to Drake, who she called “ugly” in a recent Twitter tirade.
Taking to the social media site once again, the 27-year-old tweeted, "The reason I called @Drake ugly is because he is! But I apologize."
Amanda followed that up with a second tweet saying, "I don't like leading people on. I will not date @drake ever. I only want to be his friend. I'm sorry...

Is Amanda Bynes a rap star in the making? The former Nickelodeon actress has been offered a record deal with a small East Coast hip-hop label to drop her very first album.
Producer Daniel Herman of Chinga Chang Records, a New York-based music group founded in 2003, first told RadarOnline.com Monday that he extended an offer to Bynes for a deal with his rap label. He cleared the idea with The Orchard and Sony Entertainment, then went ahead and reached out to her attorney in Los Angeles.
"She's phenomenal and that's the crazy thing about this," Herman, CEO of Chinga Chang Records, told The Huffington Post during a phone call Tuesday morning. "This is the perfect home. This isn't just a gimmick."
Herman said he has yet to secure a contract with the 27-year-old, but he is "beyond confident" she will sign. He hopes to seal the deal later this week.

Hermes Press hosted a Dark Shadows panel with Lara Parker (Angelique), Kathryn Leigh Scott (Maggie Evans and Josette du Pres), Jim Pierson (consulting producer for the new Dark Shadows film), and the son of series creator Dan Curtis. It was moderated by publisher Daniel Herman. The big news was that four of the original cast members will be making cameos in Tim Burton's new film.
Parker and Scott shared the news that they, along with both David Selby (Quentin Collins) and Jonathan Frid (Barnabas Collins), will be making cameos, and spent three days at Pinewood Studios during the filming of Burton's upcoming Dark Shadows movie.
They also thanked Johnny Depp (who plays Barnabas in the new version) for all the kind words and tributes he has given the 45-year-old show, especially as it relates to Frid and his performance. The icing on the cake was Depp telling Frid in person,...
