This weekend’s light-hearted, escapist superhero post here at Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at the often-mishandled DC character the Creeper, from Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko.

showcase 73SHOWCASE Vol 1 #73 (April 1968)

Title: The Coming of the Creeper

Villains: Soviet Major Smej and Angel Devlin

Synopsis: Jack Ryder is a crusading television reporter and commentator for WHAM-TV in Gotham City. Ryder’s maverick style always has him in trouble with sponsors like Clayton Wetley and his own boss at the network – Bill Brane.

Jack RyderJack gets tipped off about the abduction of Vincent Yatz, a scientific genius who recently defected from the Soviet Union to the United States.

Investigating, Ryder discovers that Major Smej, a Soviet spy, has allied himself with the criminal gang of Angel Devlin to abduct defectors and return them to the U.S.S.R. for punishment. Angel uses a half-angel half-devil costume schtick for his villain gimmick.  

creeperOur hero learns that Devlin will be covertly turning the captured Yatz over to Major Smej that night using a costume party attended by the rich and powerful as cover. Jack Ryder throws together a costume from leftovers he buys at a costume shop – the yellow, green and red sheepskin cape/stole ensemble that will become his Creeper outfit going forward.

At that costume party, Jack’s nosiness gets him roughed up and fatally stabbed by the costumed Angel Devlin and Smej’s men. Bleeding out, he is kept out of the sight of the bigwig guests by getting locked up with the scientist Vincent Yatz. Continue reading

JOE BIDEN: FASCIST LOON OR HUMAN BACTERIA?

biden fascism picbiden bloodAccused rapist Joe Biden, head of the Biden Crime Family and a fascist lunatic, continues stoking hatred in the country, branding everyone who disagrees with any of his positions “dangerous.” Biden thrives on dividing the country after the administration of de facto Third Party President Donald Trump, the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime.

Trump also brought America energy independence and kept us out of ANY new wars – the first president to do so in decades. Joe Biden and the infamous Military-Industrial Complex have shattered all of that just to benefit Biden, his family and their cronies.

biden the fascistThe Biden Regime runs the U.S. like a Mafia bust-out operation, and, sadly, there is no effective opposition party. (The outdated and utterly useless Republican Party doesn’t count.)

COURAGEOUS FBI AGENTS CALLING FOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY TO STEP DOWN BECAUSE THINGS ARE “OUT OF CONTROL.” More HERE. Biden has been using the FBI as his personal Gestapo.

MORE PROOF OF COLLUSION BETWEEN THE ILLEGITIMATE BIDEN REGIME AND THE DEMOCRATS OF BIG TECH.  More HERE.

It’s no secret that the 2020 presidential election was at least as corrupt and tainted as the 1876 and year 2000 presidential outcomes. People are going to rightfully go on discussing fraudulent presidents like Rutherford B. Hayes (Republican), George W. Bush (Republican) and Joe Biden (Democrat). Continue reading

COUNTERSTRIKE (1969) FORGOTTEN TELEVISION

counterstrike jon finchCOUNTERSTRIKE is a tragically forgotten British sci fi television series from 1969. Jon Finch (left) portrayed Simon King, an alien agent who worked for the Intergalactic Council. This council had sent him to Earth to protect it from a group of renegade aliens  from a dying planet who wanted to conquer the Earth and make it their new home.

Not the most original of premises, but that inimitable British panache breathed life into the series, which unfortunately ran for just ten episodes, one of which was preempted by a special about the British gangsters named the Krays and was never rescheduled. Continue reading

WINNIE THE POOH: BLOOD AND HONEY

masc graveyard smallerRegular readers of Balladeer’s Blog know how fond I am of bad and weird movies. I cannot yet review Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, the horror version of A.A. Milne’s characters from the Hundred Acre Wood, because it has not been released yet. A full trailer is out now and you can view it below.

NOTE: This is, indeed, a horror film. It may be tongue in cheek, but it doesn’t shy away from violence. People who have more conventional taste in movies are warned. Please don’t watch the trailer and then vent at me because of the violence.

Winnie the Pooh recently fell into the public domain if you’re wondering how this film is possible.  Continue reading

CROSSBOW (1987-1990) FORGOTTEN TELEVISION

crossbow tv series This French-produced (but English language) series about William Tell was the perfect antidote for fans of derring-do who were bored with the umpteen versions of the Robin Hood legend.

The series starred Will Lyman, who would go on to be the voice of the narrator in those old “World’s Most Interesting Man” commercials, as the crossbow- wielding Tell.

Jeremy Clyde (of Chad & Jeremy fame) co-starred as Gessler, the tyrant Tell opposed during the Swiss Uprising against the Austrians in the 14th Century. Each episode featured William Tell and his son (the famous one with the apple on his head) defiantly foiling Gessler’s sinister machinations with the aid of fellow rebels. Continue reading

THE WARSTOCK: A TALE OF TOMORROW (1898) ANCIENT SCIENCE FICTION

warstock coverTHE WARSTOCK: A TALE OF TOMORROW (1898) – Written by the British William Oliver Greener under the pen name Wirt Gerrare. Despite this book’s Great Britain origins, the two lead characters are American inventors from Plainfield, New Jersey – Robert Sterry and Willie Redhead.

In the near future (from 1898), the pair have discovered a new energy source and use it to power their wireless telegraphy system called the Sterrygraph. Sterry and Redhead seek investors in England and on the Continent without success.

JOE BIDEN ATROCITY ROUNDUP: AUGUST 29th

democrat republican otherIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog comes to you as usual from Crooked Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy. As always, you are welcome here no matter who you vote for, and that’s something that no Democrat site can honestly say.

LATEST FBI/ BIG TECH COLLUSION SCANDAL ADDS EVEN MORE EVIDENCE REGARDING HOW CORRUPT AND TAINTED THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS. More HERE. It is becoming clear it was even more corrupt than the 1876 and year 2000 presidential outcomes.

POLL: SEVENTY-NINE PERCENT NOW ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS TAINTED AND CORRUPT. Better late than never, I guess. When Biden’s thugs say “By any means necessary” they apparently mean it.

A BIG WIN IN ARIZONA TO PREVENT THE KIND OF VOTE FRAUD THAT TAINTED THE 2020 ELECTION. This is why the 2020 cheating and rigging must continue to be discussed – to help reform measures that restore election integrity.
