Brad Ricca on LINCOLN'S GHOST "This is a book about ghosts. A lot of it’s goofy, but some of it’s scary."

Shot the shit with @bradricca.bsky.social about his new book (hot off the presses), LINCOLN’S GHOST: Houdini’s War on Spiritualism and the Dark Conspiracy Against the American Presidency:

Unassuming Barber Shop: In Search of the Fantastic Four Unassuming Barber Shop: In Search of the Fantastic Four

It's FANTASTIC FOUR week. Everyone will say they came about because of the space race. I think it was because we lost the space race. As in, humiliated. Low national self-esteem. But crisis makes for opportunity (says everybody) so light the flare, Johnny. www.comicsbeat.com/unassuming-b...

This is hilarious — thank you!!

Thank you!

Unassuming Barber Shop: SUPERMAN is a political protest Superman has always been political: The writer of the first Superman story is still shouting in a loud voice from a thin piece of paper.

Amazing, necessary piece by @bradricca.bsky.social, author of Super Boys: The Amazing Adventures of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster--the Creators of Superman, about the historical context of Superman and why the character has always been political.

Happy Superman Day! Even in the 1930s, they saw this coming. The dream was always bigger than the comics, books, or movies they were inspired by. Or the people in their lives who became part of the story. It had to be, if it was really going to matter.

Hi Bluesky. I don’t know exactly what you’re about yet, so I’m putting all my cards on the table. Here is a photo of me showing my grandpa the giant E.T. I made with papier-mache sometime in the ‘80s. Now you know who I am.
