Adventure 400 - The one that started it all for me!

THIS was THE comic that started it all for me!!

Wow... way back in 1972, Adventure 400 was the comic book that slammed dunked this (at the time) 11 year old boy into the realm of superheroines in distress. It turned me on (literally) to Supergirl AND bondage! And, nothing EVER has been able to rip that part of me from my soul!! Image

Looking at it in hindsight, the art really isn't that great, and the rope work was quite sloppy at best, but yet there was something remarkable about the comic. Was it the number of pages and panels she went tied up? The way she was made helpless (as stated on a number of occasions - so I thusly love that 'word' too, btw) in a couple of different ways? Or maybe the way she was knocked out and unconscious a couple of times? Or perhaps it was that she was zapped with magic and then sprawled out and held with magic in a very provocative legs apart pose?? Image

Of course, there is the HUGE gaff with gold kryptonite, but at 11 years, a kid doesn't CARE about that!! He cares that the most powerful superheroine in the WORLD was made HELPLESS and looked so DAMN HOT being that way!!! Image

Well, that's a little Wizardly History for you all. Image

Mental Meanderings 5 of 12

Vladi's Mental Meandering Part 5 of 12 (Posted to my peer support group for our communications center) The other day, while on one of my walks, I came to an epiphany. Now, for the longest time, I have always thought that my "anti-social behavior" was because I HATED people. It was something that I feared to say out loud, without the camouflage of humor, masking it as "oh, he's just kidding ... ha ha ha ... that Vladi... what a kidder!" But, you would be wondering, quietly and in the back of your mind, if I really WAS kidding! Well... you and me both! Such a feeling of hate towards humanity, and my fellow man (and woman), really didn't seem RIGHT to me, but how else would I explain my distrust and distance that I keep myself from people. Sure, I would be ASSOCIATED with people through school, or work, or even play (theater and dart league), but while we would often use the word "FRIEND" to define our particular relation

Mental Meanderings

Published to my Peer Group with minor editing to protect the guilty: VLADI'S MENTAL MEANDERINGS Episode 2 of 12 Recently, we have seen a rise in attention given to suicide by the "MSM", due to the recent celebrity suicides. And, with all the various articles, as well as Facebook memes flying about, I have come to a realization, due to the fact that I have actually been on the "other side of the phone", as it were. Now, I am not going into a whole bunch of different things (after all, I have 10 more sessions to perform for my therapist here :P), so I will only concentrate on one, very important thing, which I believe we have been doing wrong for many many years. A MILLION. Even in the best of times, we have a hard time relating to that number. We don't see it, we don't interact with it, we don't experience it. It is a concept to us, really. Sure, we understand it mathmatically, but if we suddenly had a million of .... ummmm... anything, we wo

The Wizard's Lair is the DOWNFALL of the Superheroine in Distress Genre!

Image
Seems of late I have been reading quite a bit about the failure of some pay sites within the community are closing down. Some are putting the blame on peer-to-peer sites in general, while others are placing the blame on The Wizard ’ s Lair in particular. Now, without knowing the financial specifics of each and every website that is closing down and/or losing money, how can anyone place any blame on any one thing in particular, or even accuse a single website, it ’ s webmaster, and it ’ s contributors for contributing to the financial decline of these sites? When I look around, I see that everyone is feeling the financial pinch, influenced largely by the (ever) rising cost of fuel, which has a cascading effect on everything from car sales, to food costs. People all over are doing everything that they can to save money, from driving less, to canceling vacations, and to eliminating discretionary expenses, of which would include memberships to websites. Is anyone looking at pointing to
