Captain's Theatre SPACEBALLS: THE ANIMATED SERIES

You Think Disney+ Went Nuts with Prequels, Sequels, and Spinoffs Based on Licensed Properties?

We linked you up with the two-episode pilot which re-imagined the movie and made a couple of changes to set up the TV series HERE!

Video's Valentine SCOOBY-DOO! "Tell-Tale Heartburn"

...which featured Edgar Allan Poe-themed stories!
We now present another never-reprinted story of lost love from DC's Scooby-Doo #117 (2007), a tale of Poe...I mean woe...that's filled with Easter Eggs!
Now say it with me..."I would have gotten away with it if not for those pesky kids!!!"
Find all the Easter Eggs?
Start with the cover caption..."Twice-Told Tales of Terror!", a combination of Twice-Told Tales and Tales of Terror...anthologies of stories by Nathanael Hawthorne and Edgar Allen Poe...both adapted by producer Roger Corman into B-movies for American International Pictures in the 1960s!
(Since Twice-Told Tales (by Hawthorne) starred the legendary Vincent Price, who starred in all the Edgar Allen Poe flicks for AIP, it's usually considered part of the "Poe Cycle"!)
Writer Scott Peterson, penciler Robert Pope, and inker Scott McRae load the story with lots of Poe references both in the script and art.
Did you know that, though considered one of the first gothic horror writers, Poe was also part of the "American Romantic" movement as explained HERE!

Captain's Library & Theatre / CoronaVirus Comics I AM LEGEND: AWAKENINGS "Death as a Gift"

In the world of the movie I Am Legend (2007) you are either immune or not.
There are far fewer who are immune...
...now there is one less.
When the post-apocalyptic pandemic movie I Am Legend opened, this comic, which combined both new material and adaptations of several motion comics from the film's website was distributed to comic stores and movie theaters!
This melancholy story, by writer Dawn Thomas and artist Jason Chan, was either adapted from the motion comic, or the motion comic was based on it.
(I'm not certain which)
Death As A Gift (Motion Comic) from Sanity Jane on Vimeo.
You'll see the other stories...soon!
