WHAT EVER! #2: 20,000 LEAGUES/SUPERMAN TRIBUTES AND MORE!!!

Jim Main Enterprises' What Ever! #2 offers a spectacular overview of one of the best book-to-movie adaptations of all time: Walt Disney's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne.

In this regard, Buck Oviatt's article does a comprehensive job covering the construction of Disney's 1954 landmark epic, directed by Richard Fleischer and starring Kirk Douglas, Peter Lorre, Paul Lukas and James Mason. Crisp, colorful photos and stylish illustrations accompany Oviatt's text, which further drive home the production's cinematic importance.

In addition to the "20,000 Leagues" salute, Will Murray grants an equally comprehensive view of Fleischer Studios' animated Superman series. Murray's article is engaging, well researched and edifying, abetted by striking photos culled straight from the acclaimed, Technicolor shorts.

What Ever #2 also features posts by yours truly on Natalie Trundy of "Planet of the Apes" fame and the new, BBC/Netflix "Dracula" series, starring Claes Bang in the eponymous role. 

Linking these ingredients is our publisher's welcoming "This and That...", along with "Fandom Central", where the passing of writer/artist/musician Jim Pack is referenced, as well as George Lane III's review of "The Beacon Annual", which emphasizes Steve Keeter's fantastic, fanzine career, as well as his superheroic creation, the mighty and amusing Beacon.  

And flavoring these tasty ingredients is delicious artwork by Tom Doyle, John Lambert, Doc Boucher, Kevin Duncan and the aforementioned Lane, not to mention Marc Haine's astounding cover layout.  

What Ever #2 is an overflowing blast of imaginative extravagance.

MICHAEL HOUSEL CONTRIBUTES TO WHAT EVER!

I like to keep folks in the groove with my writing and thought my readers might like to know that Jim Main's What Ever! #2 will feature a couple surprise submissions from me.  For What Ever #3, I'm now composing an article that compares the initial set of movies based on Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend."

"The Last Man on Earth" and "The Omega Man" are two of my favorite post-apocalyptic flicks, but then I do hold the Matheson source (and its irony) in high regard, regardless of its reinterpretations.  

It'll be a while before the above referenced submissions hit print, but as with all of my material (fictional or factual), I'll be sure to keep my readers updated.
