I’m so glad Dan told me about this! It’s so good to know I’m not the ONLY Blue Devil fan out there… I’ll be adding you to my blogroll as well.

Rob/Frank/Choco – Thanks for the kind words! We had a real blast recording. Dan & Gary were super nice. Great guys with really interesting stories.

And Frank… i totally agree, Blue Devil should have been in the JLI from the beginning. He would have been brilliant.

You and Ravenface did a great job in the interview. I’d certianly be interested in the mail order idea that was bandied about at the end of the interview.

I can’t believe that DC hasn’t collected Amethyst into a trade paperback. I’d buy it, and I’m not exactly the target market for it.

You know, I hadn’t added this site to my blog roll when Google started allowing the following of sites because I wrongly assumed it only covered Blogspot pages. I thought to check out your current offerings when I was looking at the Justice League cover recreation you referenced, only to find you had devoted a whole week to a childhood favorite of mine, Blue Devil. I swear to God I had no idea this was going on when I did my Firestorm/BD ad post– I was just trying to catch up on my DC Challenge scans and needed ballast to fill out the week.

Anyway, I enjoyed the interview, as it gave me something to listen to while I was preparing moving boxes. Shag’s got a great radio voice– very professional sounding. I confess to never having made the She-Ra connection, but it makes perfect sense on reflection. I still own a few of those toys, so maybe heart can be taken in the fan appreciation of the Amethyst knock-off. I hate to sound nasty, but I’m really glad “Midnight Blue” never got off the ground, as it sounds just as awful as what DC actually did with Blue Devil following “Underworld Unleashed.” I really do think BD brought the fun back to comics, so turning him grim ‘n’ gritty is the exact opposite direction I’d care to see him taken in. If only he’d been inducted into the JLI, he would have made it almost another decade before someone killed/ruined him.
