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...

TV superhero fan-made fight featuring the Incredible Hulk and the Six Million Dollar Man. This is the fight we all wanted growing up as kids in the 70's and 80's. It could have been bigger than the Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Bigfoot fight!

The Six Million Dollar Man TV Show Facts

Image
Six Millon Dollar Man ran frm 1973 to 1978. It was based on the 1972 novel Cyborg by Martin Caidin. The show started  with three television films in 1973 that were intended as pilots which then led to fives seasons beginning in 1974 to 1978. The plot of the show involves NASA astronaut Steve Austin who was severely injured in a crashed experimental aircraft. The operation to save his life and rebuild him with super strong bionic limbs cost 6 million dollars. Steve was given a bionic eye that could zoom in images from great distances. His right arm and both legs were replaced with bionic limbs. He could run at speeds over 60 miles per hour. His arm and legs were now super strong powered by nuclear energy. The show used slow motion effects to illustrate the Bionic Man’s speed as well as the speeding up the film.  The famous  dit dit dit sound used to represent Steve’s strength was used first  in the season one episode “Day of the Robot” and was first used to signify a ...

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...

Billy the Kid from The Man from Nowhere Science Fiction Novel

Image
Billy the Kid is featured in my book, " The Man from Nowhere ". As most author's do, I called upon inspirations from past movies to help me imagine the character in my mind. I've read that most authors actually hear the voices of famous actors in their minds as they write the dialogue for their characters. My version of the Kid is accurate to historical records as to his size and weight, but I let my imagine conceive of what Billy would say or do in my book's fictional town, South Fork. He really was a small guy as portrayed in Young Guns  and acted by Emilio Estevez. Of course, in the west size meant nothing as long as you were good with a gun. Billy only measured 5' 7" tall weighing in about 135 lbs. My version of the Kid is really inspired by Young Guns, in that I imagined my Kid to be just as insane as Estevez portrayed him. Kid is just that, a kid, a wild, crazy and dangerous kid who is also one of the west's greatest marksmen. He actually revels...
