Liberty Ace the Comic Book Hero of the Future

Image
Liberty Ace created by me, Tim Frady, is in the process of being completed within the next couple of months. I've been working on it in between posting videos to my Tvcrazyman Youtube channel . Liberty Ace is a comic book or graphic novel to be released on Amazon. It's a return to fun and wonder in superhero comics, I believe. Ace is a hero from another America, one that was settled way back in the 1980's when Ronald Reagan sent a group of settlers to outer space in search of a place to settle the new Shining City on a Hill. The mission was one that had been in the works since the days of JFK, who wanted more than to just go to the moon, and he planned to do it with technology America retrieved from aliens before and after the Roswell incident. Ace is a descendant of those Americans and, while chasing the murderer of his father across time and space, eventually winds up in our present day America. He brings with him from the future a retro American style, determination, and...

What Went Wrong with the Hulk 2003 Movie

Image
We discuss what went wrong with the 2003 Hulk movie. In 2003 Hulk debuted. It was directed by Ang Lee  and starred Eric Bana  as Bruce Banner/Hulk, alongside Jennifer Connelly, Sam Elliott, Josh Lucas, and Nick Nolte Possible spoilers, in case you haven’t seen it. Eric Bana commented that the shoot was "Ridiculously serious... a silent set, morbid in a lot of ways." Lee told him that he was shooting a Greek tragedy: The film was released on June 20, 2003, and it grossed $245 million worldwide. The movie made 62.1 million dollars on opening weekend. At the time that was the 16th biggest opening ever. Unfortunately, for  the movie it dropped 70 percent the next weekend. It had a budget of 137 million. If it wasn’t for the addition of the world wide box office the movie would have tanked completely. It became the largest opener at the time to not earn at least 150 million dollars at the box office. The box office tells you something went wrong with this movie. It’s obvious t...

The Qualities that Make a Perfect Superhero

Image
  What Makes for the Best Superhero What exactly makes a superhero a perfect superhero? Some comic book fans prefer the rampaging angry superhero who smashes evil, while others like their heroes to be dark and grim and scare the bad guys, others love the patriotic example of determination and willpower, and some like myself like all the above examples. These are the kind of personality traits found in even non-super powered heroes that inspire us to keep going when we face our own super battles in life that push us to our limits of human endurance after all, “It ain’t about hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward that’s how winning is done.” Unfortunately, some of the best characteristics of our favorite comic book heroes have started to fall by the wayside. As a man on a lifelong personal quest to create the perfect superhero, the question of what makes the perfect super hero is one I have pondered for years. God willing you will be seeing...

What is the Connection Between the Terminator, the Hulk, and the Outer Limits

Image
What Do the Terminator, Hulk, Harlan Ellison, and the Outer Limits have in common? Kang the Conqueror Well, what do the Terminator, Hulk, Harlan Ellison, and the Outer Limits all have in common? Let's travel back in time and go forward. First, let's visit the Outer Limits back in the early 1960's when Harlan Ellison wrote two classic episodes of the Outer Limits titled, "Soldier"  and "Demon with a Glass Hand". Both episodes have been said to have given James Cameron his idea for Terminator.  Orion Pictures gave sci-fi fantasy writer Harlan Ellison a credit on the The Terminator for plagiarism of two episodes he wrote. From the Outer Limits a soldier from the future played by Michael Ansara goes back to the past only to die at the hand of another soldier from the future. In Ellison's Outer Limits story the soldier is intent on one thing and one thing only, to kill the enemy. His helmet gives him battle instructions. He uses a laser gun that never nee...

The Rules of Time Travel an Epic Look at Time Travel

Image
Is there anyone that if given the chance wouldn’t travel back in time? Think of all the possibilities, not only could you fix what once went wrong, but you might be able to bring back valuable collectibles such as old comics now worth a fortune, that 69 Dodge Charger you’ve always wanted because it reminds of you of an old TV show,  perhaps make millions of dollars on the stock market, or revisit friends and relatives that have passed away, see historical events with your own eyes. You could watch a speech by John F Kennedy, maybe you could prevent the Hindenberg disaster, or even stop the Abraham Lincoln from getting shot which according to one Twilight Zone episode can’t be done. Time travel holds a vast multitude of possibilities.  Amazing Fantasy 15 Let’s set aside whether or not time travel is even possible and ask ourselves before we head into this vast unknown landscape of time and space just what are the rules of time travel? We wouldn’t want to have an accident in tim...

How is it that Superman can fool everyone with a disguise that consists of nothing else than a pair of glasses?

Image
 How is it that Superman can fool everyone with a disguise that consists of nothing else than a pair of glasses? Sure Superman is faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but none of that equates to fooling Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White whom have seen Superman and Clark over and over again. How does he convince the world he's nothing more than a mild-mannered reporter with just a pair of glasses? Was Lois Lane and the rest of the reporters at the Daily Planet just dumb? Surely, an investigative reporter would have to be intelligent. In this video we discuss this with one of my favorite funny moments from the 90's tv show, Lois and Clark the New Adventures of Superman starring Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher. Dean wasn't in this particular clip, I have to say, but it's still worth watching as it features a time traveling super villain and H.G Wells. The answer may just lay in an old comic book fro...

Batman TV show and Comic Book Parody Mixes

Image
  What if Batman was inserted into all TV shows. Imagine Batman television show mixes like Batman on the Twilight Zone instead of William Shatner, Batman replacing Tom Selleck as Thomas Magnum, Batman replacing Mr. Leonard Nemoy as Spock on Star Trek, or even Batman replacing Jerry Mathers as the Beaver. I got the idea thanks to DC Comics pretty much creating an over abundance of Batman comic books every month. I thought why stop with 20 books a month, why not have Batman take over everything. I think Adam West could have been great in Star Trek, and Michael Keaton would have been great playing Batman playing Magnum P.I. Batman could have replaced Rod Serling as the narrator for the Twilight Zone. I doubt Batman fans could ever get enough Batman. I know if Adam West or Michael Keaton were involved I'd be watching the show. Christian Bale would probably not be too happy with my television programming, but Batman is more than just a superhero action star. I think he would make a grea...

Origins of Time Traveling Cartoon Caveman Ug Lug

Image
It's been a couple of years since I started work on Caveman Comics , the story of a crazy caveman who marries a rocket scientist and then time travels back with her to the present. It's a lot of silly fun and drawing Ug has been a real learning experience. I think all the hours I've spent drawing these cartoony images have helped me with the latest superhero project I'm working on called Liberty Ace , even though those characters are much more realistically drawn than Ug. Anyway back to Ug, it would seem that time travel always has something to do with any stories I write. It could be that I'm obsessed with the idea. It's amazing to think it's been 9 years since I first published my time traveling novel series the Time Cruisers  which is a far cry from the cartoony adventures of Ug Lug. I guess, I just happen to love a wide variety, as long as it has some time travel or science fiction element. In order to promote my Caveman Comics graphic novel series, I ac...
