IS A MCGINNIS STILL A MCGINNIS EVEN IF IT DOESN’T HAVE A TALL, LANKY, SULTRY FEMALE? YOU BETCHA!
COMICS CORNER ~ MYSTERIUS THE UNFATHOMABLE!When Ella attends a séance for a report in her local paper, she gets sucked into the world of Mysterius ~ The Unfathomable, a magician who's more than just a performer of flashy tricks.
Sensing Ella is the perfect person to play the role of his assistant, Delfi (the latest in a long line), Mysterius hires her. Their cases drag them deep into the modern world of magic, at least one pocket dimension, and the wicker effigy about to be set alight at a Burning-Man-esque festival.
Acclaimed creators Jeff Parker (X-Men: The First Class, Agents of Atlas) and Tom Fowler (Green Arrow, Caper) make their WildStorm debut with this exciting, offbeat new miniseries!
FANTASY CORNER: MYSTERIES OF THE DIOGENES CLUB!KIM NEWMAN
From the 1860s to the present day, the Diogenes Club has been the least-known of Great Britain's intelligence and law enforcement services. Founded by Sherlock Holmes's cleverer brother Mycroft, the Club protects the realm—and this entire plane of existence—from occult menaces, threats from other dimensions, magical perfidy and the Deep Dark Deadly Ones. In this collection, covering uncanny events from the early days of the 20th century to the early decades of the 21st, the Club's greatest Assets contend with ancient Egyptian curses, magical wars fought in secret, and the mystery of what really happened on the day of the first moon landing. Kim Newman continues the series began in The Man From the Diogenes Club, revealing more of the mysteries of the British Empire's most secret service.

DANGER DIABOLIK ~ ENNIO MORRICONE!SOMETHING VERY COOL AND SPECIAL ALSO FROM FAT CITY CIGAR LOUNGE . . .
This is an "unofficial" soundtrack, but it's the closest we're going to get I'm afraid because the original tapes were said to have been destroyed in a fire. Enjoy!
This was the last movie shown on MST3K....when Mike and the bots made it back to Earth.
Ennio Morricone, like him or dislike him, he has made his stamp upon the cinematic world for the last 45 years. A product of the Italian school of film scoring he has composed literally hundreds of scores for both european and american movies. Some scores are classics of their genre, some unique and some, as somebody once said, like listening to 30 minutes of vacuum cleaning! Both brilliant or frustrating , melodic or disturbing one cannot deny he is a force to be reckoned with.
Danger:Diabolik or Diabolik as it was known in its native land was based on the popular "Fumetti" comic strips of the 1960's. These massively popular strips regarding a master criminal and his constant evasion of the law are still as popular today. Director Mario Bava brought this phenomenon to the screen in 1968 with john philip Law in the starring role.
The score is indicative of the times a wildly fantastic mix of jazz, funk and orchestral drive, each track either based on leitmotifs for the central characters or in many cases coming in from left field with a new melody. The Title song sung by Italian songstress "Christy" is sultry and melodic and permeates the score throughout. The stand out tracks are "extracting AU from H2O and Under Wah Wah, crazy titles but left entirely to themselves onscreen they are perfect examples of how important Italian film makers regarded the score within a film.
Written in 1968 at his most inventive period Morricone brings musical identity to this strange but compelling character. His playful musicality is counterpointed by at times sinister orchestration and the Cantori Moderni are in fine form.
This album one should be aware appears to be the score lifted from a laserdisc and some sound effects and dialogue are evident. But as the original masters are deemed to have been lost in a studio fire it is unlikely that the score, which never even made it onto vinyl, will ever see the light of day. Claims like these have been proved wrong many times in the past. This to all intents and purposes is a legitimate release and can be hard to find. If you are a fan of composer or of the eclectic, snap it up at once.

It features a playlist that includes well known movie themes as well as rare compositions: from classic Morricone’s “Indagine su Un Cittadino al di sopra di Ogni Sospetto” to Micalizzi’s “Italia a Mano Armata” and Cipriani’s “La polizia Sta a Guardare” (both used by Quentin Tarantino in his movies), from “Milano Kaliber 9” (Luis Bacalov) to the experimental “Giornata Nera per l’Ariete” (Morricone again). Armando Trovajoli’s lost masterpiece “La Mala Ordina” (the original master was created during the ‘70s) has been re-recorded respecting its original structure and sound while the cinematic dancefloor hit “Gangster Story” will help you remember the chic Alfa Giulia car chases of the era. Cool groves throughout.

BLACK KISS!PER COMIC BOOK RESOURCES . . .
By 1988, cartoonist Howard Chaykin was already known for producing
hard-hitting comics that didn't skimp on pulp-influenced action or amped up sexuality. But that year, the release of Chaykin's 12-issue series "Black Kiss" through the now-defunct Vortex Comics label pushed the envelope farther than any of the artist's previous works. A black-and-white detective thriller that combined elements of Los Angeles P.I. novels, occult horror comics and outright pornography, "Black Kiss" originally came shipped in black bags to prevent young people from flipping through it on the comic racks, though that didn't stop many people from crying out against what they views as inappropriate comics.
And that's just how Chaykin wanted it.
"The book was done at a time when there was serious talk about trying to create a rating's system for comics, and the idea was that I would do a book that would be appalling and offensive...and funny," the artist explained to CBR about the book which will be reprinted in one volume by DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT in May.

ROBIN HOOD!HERE’S THE WORD FROM AIRSHIP 27’S TOP PULMEISTER, RON FORTIER . . .
ROBIN HOOD - King of Sherwood is a brand new full length novel by British writer Ian Watson. Ian had written several Sherlock Holmes stories for Airship 27 Productions last year and after those were submitted he brought up his idea of doing a Robin Hood novel, one set against an authentic historical background that would give the old legend a fresh new twist while at the same time keeping all the icon elements. When we read through the manuscript for this book we were blown away.
Our partner at Airship 27 Productions, artist Rob Davis, had the exact same excitement and agreed this was a truly special book. To that end we went after a wonderful artist named Mike Manley and recruited him to do our painted cover. What he delivered knocked our socks off!!! This by far one of the most beautiful books Airship 27 Productions has ever produced and we sincerely hope all you adventure/action fans out there who love a rousing good story will give it a try.
Simply click on the dirigible logo to the left of the column to link to our on-line store. Note, the book will be available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and all other major booksellers. Trust me, Loyal Airmen, this one is a winner start to finish.

STACEY KENT ~ RACONTE MOI!About “Raconte-moi…” album
Is this Jazz or is this French chanson?
Stacey’s personal connection to France runs deep. Her grandfather was a long-term resident and she spent time studying there as an undergraduate. The first signs of Francophilia, which was passed on to her by her grandfather, were already visible on her 2007 Grammy-nominated record, "Breakfast On the Morning Tram”, which featured several tracks from the French repertory: Samba Saravah (from Lelouche’s film A Man and a Woman) and two Serge Gainsbourg covers, “Ces petits riens” and “La saison des pluies”.
With her upcoming release, she goes the extra mile with an all-French album entitled Raconte-moi... (Tell Me). Here, Stacey revisits great classics of the French musical heritage with songs by Barbara, Paul Misraki, Georges Moustaki, Henri Salvador, Michel Jonasz, Keren Ann and Benjamin Biolay, and also showcases original work by talented young songwriters like Claire Denamur, Camille D'Avril (who collaborated with Jim Tomlinson on one title) Pierre-Dominique Burgaud and Emilie Satt, whose “La Vénus du mélo" is the debut single.

1. Les Eaux De Mars
2. Jardin D'hiver

FORGOTTEN BOOKS: BILLINGSGATE SHOALRICK BOYER
In 1982, author Rick Boyer debuted on the mystery scene with his novel Billingsgate Shoal. The novel was well received and went on to garner an Edgar for Best First Novel.
Boyer’s protagonist, Massachusetts-based dentist/oral surgeon, Charlie ‘Doc’ Adams, is an easy to like character, hardboiled in the Travis McGee tradition as opposed to the Sam Spade, Phillip Marlow manner. Doc is extremely good at staying alive, taking out the black hats chasing him with a cold efficiency somewhat at odds with his mellow demeanor. Still, Boyer knows how to tell a good tale, making hanging out with Doc as he solves mysteries and bops bad guys a lot more pleasant than letting him work on your teeth.
BILLINGSGATE SHOAL
First, a fishing trawler runs aground on the Massachusetts shore. Then a young scuba diver sent to investigate the wreck is found dead in the water. Doc Adams, a friend of the dead diver, sets out through the stormy seas and blood-flecked sands of Cape Cod to plumb a murder he should have prevented. There he uncovers a hidden treasure in illegal arms and is nearly killed in the process. Doc lets the world think he's dead, the better to hunt for the killers of his friend. But if he makes a single mistake, he'll be clam chowder.
While it’s a little hard to get around how or why a dentist keeps getting involved in crimes, the whole series of Doc Adams novels are worth reading. Along with Billingsgate Shoal, my favorite is The Daisy Ducks.

BASIE BUNCH: TOO MARVELOUS FOR WORDS!
FANTASY CORNER: CORVUS! PAUL KEARNEY
It is twenty-three years since a Macht army fought its way home from the heart of the Asurian Empire. The man who came to lead that army, Rictus, is now a hard-bitten mercenary captain, middle-aged and tired. He wants nothing more than to lay down his spear and become the farmer that his father was.
But fate has different ideas.
A young warleader has risen to challenge the order of things in the very heartlands of the Macht. A soldier of genius, he takes city after city, and reigns over them as king. What is more, he had heard of the legendary leader of the Ten Thousand. His name is Corvus, and the rumours say that he is not even fully human. He means to make himself absolute ruler of all the Macht.
And he wants Rictus to help him.
ROBERT CULP ~ R.I.P.Robert Culp, who shot to fame as an actor thanks to his Kelly Robinson role in 'I Spy' in the 1960s, died on Wednesday after the 79-year-old actor hit his head during a fall near his Hollywood home.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Culp hit his head after falling while walking on Wednesday morning and was found by a jogger who then called 911 shortly after 11 a.m. Culp was pronounced dead shortly after at Queen of Angels hospital, Los Angeles Police Department Bob Binder told the LA Times that the actor's death "is accidental and there appears to be no sign of foul play.
ESPIONAGE CORNER: THE AUCTION!
On Thursday, April 8 Swann Galleries will offer The Otto Penzler Collection of British Espionage and Thriller Fiction. The sale represents a select portion of the private library of the well-known mystery fiction specialist and bookseller who amassed his collection over 40 years. In that time, Penzler befriended many noted authors including Eric Ambler, Ken Follett, John Gardner and others, who inscribed copies of their works.
....Perhaps the best known of the British espionage works are Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels, which were the source material for the iconic films spanning the last several decades. The auction offers more than 25 of these books, and among the most notable are a first edition of the first Bond book, Casino Royale, in near perfect condition, 1953 ($20,000 to $30,000); a fine copy of Moonraker, inscribed and signed by the author to known Fleming collector Eileen M. Cond, 1955 ($15,000 to $25,000); and a signed limited edition of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, the first novel published after the debut of the film series and an immediate bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic, 1963 ($6,000 to $9,000).

ESPIONAGE CORNER: THE DEBRIEF!Most of the 'Bond clones' have rightly been forgotten. But for every Man from O.R.G.Y. there was a Harry Palmer. Behind some of the scantily clad sirens on these now dusty covers lurk believable characters, gripping plots and dazzling prose. And there's an uncommon thrill to reading a twist on a familiar theme.
John Braine's character Xavier Flynn, for example, featured in two novels in the Seventies: he works for a counter-espionage organisation that takes its codenames from CS Lewis' Narnia novels, drinks bison vodka and is a devout Catholic. William Garner wrote three books featuring an agent called Michael Jagger, who picks up society girls in the street and owns a Francis Bacon painting; strangely, nobody comments on his name. For those bored with the 'shaken, not stirred' formula, there are dozens of new iconographies to explore . . .

AMAZING GOALKEEPER GOAL!
Dario Capogrosso, goalkeeper for Argentine second division club CAI, scored a vital goal for his relegation threatened team, earning a point at the death of their match against Gimnasia de Jujuy on Saturday.

HEALTH CARE? HMMMM . . . Let me get this straight . . . we've passed a 2,100 page health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it, but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president who also hasn't read it and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke.
What could possibly go wrong????
