Aggressors - The new hero pulp

Reading reviews of a genre

Getting back into the swing of it

, ,

Sorry it's been so long between posts. Coming back from San Diego wiped me out and just as I was getting back into that I caught the flu which flared my asthma right up, trust me when you can't breath, blogging takes a pretty low priority but I'm back to normal, well as normal as Aggressor Brad gets.

My plan is to add a new entry at least once a week, but we'll see how that goes.

Coming up - October with Halloween and Friday 13th will see reviews of supernaturally themed Aggressors including Mack Bolan's encounter with Cthulhu, Remo vs the vampires, and other series of interest.

I've been sneaking time to watch the Death Wish series starring Charles Bronson so I might do some Death Wish Reviews starting with Brian Garfield's original novel. I hear Garfield's sequel Death Sentence is currently being filmed.

And I have a suprise or two up my sleve.

Charles Bronson? Death Wish? Gasp! One of those (I think Death WIsh II) was banned in Queensland in the mid-eighties!

(During the Bjelkie-Peterson era, then. I guess Joh wasn't a Bronson fan).

Well I picked up a Death Wish: The Vigilante Collection. I just saw Death Wish 2 which had a lot nudity in it's sexual assaults so I can imagine why.

The Queensland government maintained a seperate censorship board to the Federal government. Bjelkie-Peterson wasn't the most liberal of premiers.

But then again X rated porn can only be sold legally in Canberra (so I've heard)

Hey ... ! Hey ... !

Ipswich Library! I ordered it (so you can too).

"Across the Universe - The DC Universe Stories of Alan Moore" (YAF MOOR). Two Vigilante Stories (# 17 and # 18, Father's Day Parts One and Two).

Just so's you know.

C'mon Dave you know full well the Ipswich library can't order X rated Porn, but I did see the Alan Moore collection you mentioned, I thought his Green Lantern tale was very clever.

Thanks Glen,
Death Sentence is the one Death Wish related item I don't have but I am looking for it.

Can't order X-Rated porn, eh? Eh? (And another, 'Eh?' thrown in for good measure).

An alphabetical listing of 'Graphic Novels' (through which I went to place holds on a few) came up with "The Curious Sofa: A Pornographic Work" by Ogdred Weary.

Of course, it's in Adult Non-Fiction. Which means I can't start ranting about how some of the content in Graphic Novels in YAF isn't necessarily suitable to young adults.

But there you go.

Y'know, I'm gonna have to come over and raid your Video/DVD collection some time!

BTW - Found those MERC issues.

(This is the sort of thing I should probably mention in an email as opposed to taking up your blog space, but - you know me - no social graces whatsoever). :wink:

Yes but that would be either M or R rated Porn. You're welcome over any time. especially if you come bearing MERC.
