But we are back! This month is "Scary Scarlet" and every week, we'll spotlight a time when Scarlet was mistaken for a ghost! Sometimes it was on purpose, such as the first time it occurred in 1941. Scarlet was writing a newspaper column giving "Advice to the Lovelorn." In October of that year, she came to the aid of a husband wanting to get rid of his mother-in-law, not by killing her but by scaring her. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8SPbZlaio1f5qb4esYD_blKzMX_BZmCNtGSPKDYstshU-pCKKvv7MJ0isOy0jsV1IDYxWE7z_qpxY_YHU1AcIlgLczRCk8MADHgd9zpW1yPNadT0URnojan7RZGG7Pl-VLfEesI-AHRI/s1600/101004sc411028.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 82px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8SPbZlaio1f5qb4esYD_blKzMX_BZmCNtGSPKDYstshU-pCKKvv7MJ0isOy0jsV1IDYxWE7z_qpxY_YHU1AcIlgLczRCk8MADHgd9zpW1yPNadT0URnojan7RZGG7Pl-VLfEesI-AHRI/s320/101004sc411028.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524065468493879202" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhoIveOC47RL8mgmPv8lU-HLMJvVVhTDAMVwhEQkM9090vv2fQ6iT8fQBjMeJR8MQfWqHPc7eF8Rg871rq_KMNr7R-6LDTbZ9n_ObLOkNxnYQX-_fBx8VpuMGGHyDz2OA6OkO8mCJJvaI/s1600/101004sc411031.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 83px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhoIveOC47RL8mgmPv8lU-HLMJvVVhTDAMVwhEQkM9090vv2fQ6iT8fQBjMeJR8MQfWqHPc7eF8Rg871rq_KMNr7R-6LDTbZ9n_ObLOkNxnYQX-_fBx8VpuMGGHyDz2OA6OkO8mCJJvaI/s320/101004sc411031.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524065457310823362" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5tqVbtaEkeYbhLCSxik-0RTe4I7FFgC-_Iu90xxt2SVwWXj_ll3xY2TBTs1cCyqx8aGQmnVJEdYKb4LTw300kH9nXRjkhKJwSEzoITOqcRzlwYFYgMgD7Kdbktd0546MfaVSEP68rYbg/s1600/101004sc411104.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 83px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5tqVbtaEkeYbhLCSxik-0RTe4I7FFgC-_Iu90xxt2SVwWXj_ll3xY2TBTs1cCyqx8aGQmnVJEdYKb4LTw300kH9nXRjkhKJwSEzoITOqcRzlwYFYgMgD7Kdbktd0546MfaVSEP68rYbg/s320/101004sc411104.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524065454409981090" /></a>NewLegendMikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01486903715942763993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326928593586383111.post-6153788751236060662010-10-03T20:28:00.000-07:002010-10-03T20:48:58.439-07:00Aack!

It is nice to know that folks in Scarlet's hometown still remember her. In addition to the many media guests, there were also a good amount of comic-related exhibitors and artists in attendance, including <a href="http://www.danparent.com/">Dan Parent</a>. Dan's been drawing <a href="http://www.archiecomics.com/">Archie Comics</a> for nearly his entire career as an artist and he's always been high on my list to see his vision of Scarlet.

Stamm also uses this arc to promote the use of dogs during the war. Canines have always had an active role in our military. There are currently two <a href="http://www.war-dogs.com/">War Dog Memorial</a> statues in the U.S. (March Field Air Museum in Riverside, California and Sacrifice Field in Fort Benning, Georgia) and there is even a proposal for a <a href="http://www.nationalwardogsmonument.org/">National War Dog monument</a> in Washington, DC.

Throughout Scarlet's history, she has always been kind to animals. And they often returned the favor by saving her from some perilous predicaments! One of her earliest adventures involved her befriending a blind boy named Mike and getting him a guide dog. It is the best day of the boy's life, but the danger is not over.

So here's a little inspiration from Scarlet.

She lives in Portland and she's a young woman whose life is literally destroyed by a insanely corrupted police force... She fights back against the corrupt cops and her push back starts almost a shoving war of wills between herself and almost all facets of the government that she's pushing back against.

Some, such as Beansie, were mischievous and need to be taught a lesson. Others were poor and in need of help. However, one of her most popular featured a young boy named Hobble-De-Hoy. It is even documented in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Crawfords-Encyclopedia-comic-Hubert-Crawford/dp/0824602218">Crawford's Encyclopedia of Comic Books</a> by Hubert H. Crawford.<br /><br /><blockquote>"Perhaps the strangest episode - and one that rates as a Golden Age classic in creative fantasy - occurred when Scarlet discovered her invisible power was contagious. It began with a casual stroll down the street during an invisible state when a youth, coming the opposite direction, bumped into her and knocked himself silly. Thrown to the ground, the dumbfounded lad scratched his head and tried to figure out what had happened. As a gesture of apology, Scarlet kissed the boy on the cheek.

I strongly recommend seeking out his work, and a great place to do so online is the <a href="http://goldenagecomicbookstories.blogspot.com/search/label/Al%20Williamson">Golden Age Comic Book Stores blog</a>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG1kst-GOrEtk5NaCIEnjRMBZe2FS8Q31TOpXGs5yl1UUW3VxxuKfPyQwKlRrVuNt81jEizEh4fOGFiQVj8LvcfobagHh_vttomMh-x0HyK_0oeVusmVNiUb7c8qUfqGMWQFys4iUfyr4/s1600/flash-williamson.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 163px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG1kst-GOrEtk5NaCIEnjRMBZe2FS8Q31TOpXGs5yl1UUW3VxxuKfPyQwKlRrVuNt81jEizEh4fOGFiQVj8LvcfobagHh_vttomMh-x0HyK_0oeVusmVNiUb7c8qUfqGMWQFys4iUfyr4/s320/flash-williamson.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483998808847776242" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU3FynxCEaOzilWT89AqeR0daxA6A0ltUPwHZHxohUXqxrEmZqikT-3YvizouU_ZrmuLTK0sTHaEEDMw_DAnImpjDueuOx8Goqnc7-6UAzhUpFs1uUFerRo3SAdQmx5xhT1cAFoJoD1eo/s1600/0606a_spacelove.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU3FynxCEaOzilWT89AqeR0daxA6A0ltUPwHZHxohUXqxrEmZqikT-3YvizouU_ZrmuLTK0sTHaEEDMw_DAnImpjDueuOx8Goqnc7-6UAzhUpFs1uUFerRo3SAdQmx5xhT1cAFoJoD1eo/s320/0606a_spacelove.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483997941387141346" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-XkgefGe3LStXBbWYfXgKN9An1Db7gx5ME3VyiXBLTY3i675qbASvHL48v0Uw0DyAtpE7c3gIS1wtd_hhb-XmHL7osRLNH8IePzI9QGkE92_Gn9Vlx1oiO2ATTyAMb7NL0vT_Pnu-rEY/s1600/jann-of-the-jungle+10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 210px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-XkgefGe3LStXBbWYfXgKN9An1Db7gx5ME3VyiXBLTY3i675qbASvHL48v0Uw0DyAtpE7c3gIS1wtd_hhb-XmHL7osRLNH8IePzI9QGkE92_Gn9Vlx1oiO2ATTyAMb7NL0vT_Pnu-rEY/s320/jann-of-the-jungle+10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483998811894880178" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV0hyATF9yV8_NkK1C0mlk8J7JN0KV1Yqk15rpZMFinSYxYJou2AcxPo5GE2-wpVdx6rv39TRinzd877HnS2YvSTiFrGxqVU_riV5VeDNoo7s-WVtexY8FD62jJ9_DA67b0TAeULlEoBs/s1600/01_westernoutlaws_14_willi_morrow.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 221px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV0hyATF9yV8_NkK1C0mlk8J7JN0KV1Yqk15rpZMFinSYxYJou2AcxPo5GE2-wpVdx6rv39TRinzd877HnS2YvSTiFrGxqVU_riV5VeDNoo7s-WVtexY8FD62jJ9_DA67b0TAeULlEoBs/s320/01_westernoutlaws_14_willi_morrow.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483997786367885330" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUoOXCQbN1Gc9aCWp8BVSkyek56xxmA8nT0CKuITUGQ_h6IvVa1JisFrY2hC0H98jeU1XGuBixXdYEfmr5WbBi5qRsjU9Rfr1U6jBMD8WUM4uZsZtA1seGWpRwWghE3kE9NKoyaI9Se_M/s1600/130238_20080523012043_large.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 231px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUoOXCQbN1Gc9aCWp8BVSkyek56xxmA8nT0CKuITUGQ_h6IvVa1JisFrY2hC0H98jeU1XGuBixXdYEfmr5WbBi5qRsjU9Rfr1U6jBMD8WUM4uZsZtA1seGWpRwWghE3kE9NKoyaI9Se_M/s320/130238_20080523012043_large.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483998127553772642" /></a>NewLegendMikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01486903715942763993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326928593586383111.post-63887591201787674902010-06-14T10:45:00.000-07:002010-06-17T23:07:18.106-07:00Comic Strip of the Week - Little OrphansYesterday, after 86 years in newspapers around the globe, the last <span style="font-weight:bold;">Little Orphan Annie</span> comic strip was published. You can see the final strip at<a href="http://www.gocomics.com/annie"> GoComics.com</a>. There are plenty of online articles detailing the importance of Annie in American comics, and I do recommend in particular <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/columnists/ct-biz-0513-phil-annie-20100513,0,344970,full.column">Phil Rosenthal's column</a> in the Chicago Tribune. Although she was published in the crosstown rival newspaper, we salute Annie's incredible run and humbly offer this week's strip featuring Scarlet's encounter with an orphan not nearly as nice, Beansie. Leaping Lizards Scarlet, be careful playing cupid! You don't have a trusty dog like Sandy to save you!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmxzmuMaiLXsJgtC_7HyRHLkcB1hxeVnh5X_OApZ_ZsLx5SaFf4dn5ba_Kp8gwcVYBwjdsWegTbjWDj7dQhy_MmYRa2KY_pCuGdL2JkybbK9uJhj8tPa3U0yJEnhVvhSKyFfJsPTIidxA/s1600/100614sc430425.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmxzmuMaiLXsJgtC_7HyRHLkcB1hxeVnh5X_OApZ_ZsLx5SaFf4dn5ba_Kp8gwcVYBwjdsWegTbjWDj7dQhy_MmYRa2KY_pCuGdL2JkybbK9uJhj8tPa3U0yJEnhVvhSKyFfJsPTIidxA/s320/100614sc430425.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483985977009612562" /></a>NewLegendMikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01486903715942763993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326928593586383111.post-11583324533278932822010-06-10T20:22:00.000-07:002010-06-10T20:48:37.322-07:00HeroesCon 2010No comic strip this week, as I've been recovering from the awesome craziness that was <a href="http://www.heroesonline.com/heroescon/">HeroesCon</a>! It is easily my favorite convention of the year and I strongly suggest placing it on your schedule for 2011. I did not have a booth (maybe next year), but spent the weekend visiting with various fans and pros and the subject of Invisible Scarlet came up quite a bit. I think there's some real interest in this character not only from the folks who remember her, but by those just learning about her as well. I would like to thank Shelton Drum, the hard working con staff, and all the guests and attendees for a wonderful weekend!<br /><br />Of course, I did not come home empty handed! I always try to get at least one sketch of Scarlet at each convention I attend. The piece below is by <span style="font-weight:bold;">Stephanie Gladden</span>, artist with many years of experience drawing licensed characters (<span style="font-style:italic;">Looney Tunes</span>, <span style="font-style:italic;">Ren & Stimpy</span>, <span style="font-style:italic;">Wolf & Red</span>, <span style="font-style:italic;">The Simpsons</span>, <span style="font-style:italic;">Powerpuff Girls</span>, and many Cartoon Network characters). Most recently, she pencilled Paul Dini's <span style="font-style:italic;">Jingle Belle</span> in her last couple of adventures. Please visit <a href="http://stephaniegladden.com">her website</a> for more information.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnN8Wt4bdI-ntvQMkKoruhOkczdzzqX-BrSqRUIpJ-9KZRjYqKQ96KxA_dAcOfNHKXX1bLGbxs8mT_CateV4WMACZrcbgZX8fvFNbLbYEO5JHl-EbVufQLqzE2oLqPdlUmpd0Xhdm5BKs/s1600/sg_ison_640.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 217px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnN8Wt4bdI-ntvQMkKoruhOkczdzzqX-BrSqRUIpJ-9KZRjYqKQ96KxA_dAcOfNHKXX1bLGbxs8mT_CateV4WMACZrcbgZX8fvFNbLbYEO5JHl-EbVufQLqzE2oLqPdlUmpd0Xhdm5BKs/s320/sg_ison_640.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481355724506848978" /></a><br />Love her take!

I'm expected to be on a comics panel and possibly a few others. Will Scarlet come up in the discussion? Well, she did venture into outer space <a href="http://invisiblescarletoneil.blogspot.com/2010/01/comic-strip-of-week-scarlet-has-dream.html">at least once</a> (kinda sorta)!
